Game Build v0.1.3.0 (Patreon)

It's finally here folks! The Long awaited conclusion to the Poacher's Arc of the story, and the end of the first half of the story of the game. In time this will be extended out, and I know Ursa has some things he'd like to tell you all about our future plans, but for now, boot up the game, head over to Floor 7, and get yourself down to finally help Sieger put paid to the nefarious plans of the monster poachers!

It has been a long hard road for us to get this far, with a lot of back and forth, refinements, and trememendous amount of work polishing this level and getting it all up to snuff. We could not have done it without all of your support! Thank you once again!

Installation Instructions can be found here.

The code for this month can be found here. 

Additions

Savannah Dungeon Floor 8 is now accessible from the end of Floor 7. This dungeon floor is the end of the Savannah area, containing a huge area full of quests, new sexual encounters, secrets, a climatic boss battle and a narrative conclusion to the first act of the game scenario

Added collectable Plankton nests to Floors 4, 5 & 7. The player can utilise these critters once they have unlocked & built the Plankton Pen, which is available after clearing Floor 8

Added a new monster palette; “Mermaid”, which is obtainable via hidden item

Added a new hidden item to switch the sex of a target monster or player, where applicable

New cursor icons for movement & loading

Overworld sex scenes (such as in the Farm or Dungeon) that do not meet the player’s preference options will now be hidden by a cloud of mist

Added 7 new loading screens

Changes

Quest tracker will show a scrollbar when oversize, so that it can handle more active quests

The quest tracker panel will no longer expand when moving the cursor over it.

Reduced number of overlapping lights in Savannah F7, since they were causing performance issues

Shortened all Savannah quest log names

Jail cages will now appear in the Cloverton training hall to denote each boss monster the player has defeated

Slightly lowered Diamondnium Key drop rate from pirate mobs

Fixes

Fixed a handful of unit sprites whose interaction outline was distorted

Player’s name should now display correctly in dialogue menu options

Some shading layers in Savannah F6 that fade in and out based on time-of-day were previously not appearing correctly
