Patch 0.10.0 — Coastal Battles, Pearl Diving Risk, and Autosave at Last 🌊⚔️

Hey everyone!

Update 0.10.0 expands the world outside the city with coastal and beach combat encounters, introduces new enemy profiles, improves a huge number of opening-hours pop-ups, and adds one of the most important quality-of-life features so far: autosave.

This patch also adds a new and more efficient way to mine pearls outside the city, though it comes with greater danger. On top of that, battle outcome pop-ups have been expanded, several loss-event stat effects were adjusted, and the library received a new monster article.

Highlights

New battle zones: visiting coastal and beach locations outside the city may now trigger combat.

New enemies: added combat profiles for Oilhound02_A / B and Meatstar_A / B.

Autosave added: the game now saves automatically in major exploration areas and key safe locations.

Pearl diving update: you can now harvest pearls on the shores outside town with better efficiency, but also with battle risk.

More clarity: added many new opening-hours pop-ups across city districts and more combat-result pop-ups.

Outside-the-City Beach & Coast Content

The shores outside the city are no longer just a safer side activity. Now, visiting coastal and beach locations may trigger a battle.

New enemy/loss content:

Meatstar loss event added for battles on the beach outside the city.

(Patreon) Added a loss event for Oilhound battles on the beach outside the city.

Losing to an Oilhound on the beach can now give the protagonist a tattoo.

Certain Meatstar loss variations can now change the protagonist’s hair color.

This makes beach exploration feel much more dangerous and eventful, especially for players farming resources.

Autosave System

A long-awaited feature is finally here:

Autosave now triggers when the player enters:

city street locations

open areas outside the city

the main apartment

the hospital

This means that if something unexpected happens—such as a bug, browser issue, or accidental refresh—you can simply reload the page and continue from your last checkpoint instead of losing all your progress.

That’s a huge usability improvement.

Pearl Diving Improvements

A new pearl-harvesting option has been added on the shores outside the city.

Compared to the previous method, this version:

takes less time

uses less stamina

gives more pearls

However, it also carries a downside:

it may trigger combat

The pearl harvesting menu has also been improved:

after a successful harvest, an icon now appears showing the number of pearls collected

clicking that icon takes you directly to the inventory interface

Opening Hours Pop-ups

This patch adds a big wave of opening-hours pop-ups to help players understand when locations and shops are available.

Added to:

Port: street food shop, pearl diving hours

Slums: pawn shop

Northern District: bank, beauty salon, stocking store, Guild, bra & panty shops, Tavern

Park: park facilities

Eastern District: gym, weapons store, movie theater, skirt/shoe/outerwear stores

Western District: ring store, nightclub, earring store, alchemy shop, library, arena, necklace shop

This should make city navigation much more intuitive and cut down on trial-and-error.

Combat Feedback Improvements

To make combat outcomes clearer, new pop-ups were added for:

reputation changes after winning a battle (19 passages)

reputation changes after losing a battle (24 passages)

parameter changes when escaping combat (19 passages)

There were also changes to the modifiable stats in some defeat events.

Library Update

Added a new article about one of the new monsters.

Also revised text in several existing monster entries.
