Release Notes: 0.645 Alpha (Patreon)

From now on, I am making the release notes (not the testing builds themselves) public for all builds. This will help keep you informed and make it so I don't need to write them multiple times.

Many weeks were spent on this build, preparing the game for the next wave of development. Much of this work is under the hood, but I want to get some early testing done before I go farther.

The big thing was moving the existing character system into it's own walled-off area both for code and content. This was necessary to make room for the additional manual character system I mentioned in the last post. As a result, the procedural character system is now much cleaner, better organized, and easier to add to in the future.

A first pass on manual characters, and their system, has been done. You will find Amber and Cassie have become blessed Nephelym, and a new NPC named "Emissary" has been introduced. All three of these characters were lovingly handcrafted and don't use any procedural content. Falene and Camilla will follow in the next few builds.

The merchants have been shuffled according to the new lore, so be aware.
