January 2018 Public Build: Alpha v2.02.3I (Patreon)

SPECIAL WARNING: There are still some potentially game breaking bugs in this public build, but the backend changes to the Patron Build this month were so extensive that doing our usual thing of just commenting out new features in the public build is not viable. That means we can't do public hotfixes this month. We apologize for this inconvenience.

Judge Heath Here,

Boy Howdy it has been another insane month for us (though thankfully not as insane as November). Between holidays, terrible bugs, real life crisis after real life crisis for our team, we are finally managing to settle back into things. We're really hopeful for this month, and the hotfixes incoming on its heels will finally get us more stable. We found a whole bunch of the stuff corrupting saves, and more stuff making various things unplayable. We couldn't nail them all down before it was time to release, but we're getting things in. Most of this month was dedicated to that, but we've also implemented a major new feature, allowing you to build structures and expand your farm (you're able to start this on the beginning of the 3rd day). In addition, we've lain the ground work for the docks system to work and for you to sell items from storage, which will be coming in a hotfix next week.

The Crab is added in this month, and we're picking up speed on HDs and sprites as we continue. With any luck, we'll be in Beta by Spring. We're still recovering from the course correction in November, and will likely be feeling the after effects of that for a long time to come, but hopefully, with things picking up, we can finally put the petal to the metal and really get things running.

Once again, thank you all for your patronage and support, and we hope to have your continued support into the new year! (Due to New Years Events in Everyone's lives, our hotfixes will be delayed until tomorrow, rather than our usual speedy 'within a few hours of the initial release)

The first of the jobs you can assign monsters too has been made! We had intended to add this at the end of last month, but the horrendous bugs and other problems interfered with all of that.

You can now assign workers to the docks. Once assigned, they will automatically sell items that are put into your storage (the shed west of your house). I won't reveal how the calculations work, but suffice to say, items sell for a higher price through this method than if you sell them to Yonten or other sales people. The trade off is that the speed of sales are dependent on the Stamina of your monsters, so only a certain number of items will be sold through the docks based upon how many monsters and how much stamina those monsters have, as well as how many docks you have.
