New Character Creator Build Released (Patreon)

Hi everyone! Hope you've been staying safe and healthy.

A demo build with the new character creator build has been uploaded to cogdemos. It's been uploaded to a new link so as not to muck existing save files even more.

As previously mentioned, it's designed to be as efficient as I could make it, containing a large variety of presets and multiple options in a single page. Incidentally, it's also why the build took so long to update - I vastly underestimated how complex the code would need to be to accomplish said efficiency. The new character creator doesn't look like much (which I guess is the point!) but it's vast enough on the backend that when I tried plugging it into wordcounter, it actually crashed the page...

But I am happy with the end result, and after three days of testing I hope all the kinks have been ironed out. The character creator allows you to skip ahead to any of Book 2's chapters, including the newest one (Chapter 9). In upcoming builds, you will always be able to skip ahead to the most recently-released content, hopefully making the lack of a consistently available save file significantly less painful. (The save feature can still be used, by the way, but it will only function for that build and not any future ones).

Link to the new build here!

With the creator completed, I'll start working on March's update--obviously I'm a little behind at this point, but I still hope to release a full update by the end of the month. In the meantime, I'll keep looking into ways that the save system can be effectively implemented.

If you encounter any problems with the creator, please let me know, and I'll get on that ASAP.
