My Super Sexy Introduction:

Hey all! Sc wait, thats not mine.\nHello fellow Pets and Adventurers! And that one guy in the back playing Tetris. Seriously bro, focus.

Today I have great news, good news, and a little bad news. Lets start with a simple apology.

As you have probably noticed, except you Tetris guy, the game has not received updates in a few months. I want to make one thing very clear. This does not mean the game is dead, or that I have given up. Quite the opposite, actually.

Behind the scenes, I have been making several major framework changes. This is the fancy stuff you never see. When fully finished, these changes will greatly increase both the speed and quality of the content I can provide going forward.

Now, doing this takes a lot of time and a lot of button pushing. Not the fun kind either. Super complex math and systems work. Which brings us to the good news.

A new update is coming in the near future. As anyone who has ever done game development knows, making direct promises or giving exact dates is a bad idea. No, Tetris guy, I still do not have five bucks.

So instead, I am proud to announce that sometime, somewhere, in the near future. Maybe today. Maybe next week. Maybe sometime in February. Soon is relative, after all. You will be getting a massive update.

Which brings us to the great news.

New and Improved Features!

Open World

Thats right ladies and gentle-fishes er humans!\nYou will no longer watch as your owner or self teleports to Creation knows where. Instead, adventurers will now slowly make their way across the world. Traveling on foot, fighting monsters, collecting loot, and probably dying a lot along the way.

Especially you.

A Quest System

Now I know what youre thinking. Who needs a quest system in a roleplaying game? Well, despite my Bethesda-level resistance, it is being implemented anyway. Disbelievers may now go eat chalk.

Adventurers will accept quests, and maybe, if you are lucky, they will actually complete them.

New Adventurer Behaviors

Put simply, adventurers used to do neat things.\nNow they do more neat things.

If you care about the details like the absolute madman you are, read on. If not, please proceed to the next designated heading.

I replaced the old state machine hybrid with a far more sustainable Utility AI and GOAP setup. I also separated the logic into a Body, Mind, and Soul architecture.

Most importantly, I pushed many colorful buttons.

Better Animations

This may come as a shock to those of you who have been here a long time, but it turns out art is not my strongest skill. I know. Tragic.

However, I have found an artist who has decided they are willing to deal with me. I did not think it would happen either. They will be revamping much of the art and UI to make everything significantly prettier and more polished.

Thank you all for your patience, your support, and your tolerance of my nonsense. The foundation is nearly complete, and once it is, things will start moving much faster.

Alpha 14 lives! Unlike you.. RIP for the umpteenth time!

[u]Music and Sound[/u]

I added music! Please, hold your applause. I couldn\'t hear it anyway due to the volume. The good news? We got volume sliders! We also got lots of SFX and Music. Most of it is placeholder, but now the systems are in place and I can start adding real music.. eventually.

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45705856/44dc53dc513b645d130173a4069703c878edbd71.png\"][/img]

[u]Gameplay[/u]

Did this cool thing where you can now toggle running with \"R\"! So you don\'t have to double finger it while making that cowardly.. er.. strategic getaway.

[u]Combat[/u]

You know how you would be able to spam enemies down with your skills while your adventurer and enemy debated? No more! Now they debate faster and might actually hit you once or twice! I\'m just here to increase death count at this point.

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45705856/9878a5237168202f1946e14f0ed38f01b29f2469.png\"][/img]

[u]Balance[/u]

Ah yes, the good old balance sheet. To follow the KISS principle. Gold is no longer an item, but a currency outright. You now only get 50 gold in the beginning. and yes, You did notice your health is lower!

[u]Skill adjustments[/u]

• Shadow Ball (1214 damage, 1210 cost),

  [/*]

• Gather Shadows now heals more and costs less

  [/*]

• Stat scaling differentiated for adventurers, pets, and enemies

  [/*]

[u]Item adjustments[/u]

• Potion stacks increased to 10, effects boosted (minor to 100), with class/species preferences.

  [/*]

[u]User in your face.. Interface![/u]

Now, prepare for this. Perhaps the greatest invention since sliced bread. The shop and inventory open.. at the same time! Also, you can only sell at the shop now. No more aether selling shenanigans. No, you can\'t have the cookie. But you can sell it.. at a local shop near you!

Fixed that hotbar bug finally. Loot is now round robin by default. No more last hit kills for you! Bad minion!

[u]Technical Notes[/u]

• Please note that due to terrible coding practices by our coder Purple Xanmal, you will have to delete your saves to get all the updates. He apologizes.. hey wait I\'m Purple Xanmal!

  [/*]

• Improved saves with better error handling and null checks. Until the next one breaks.

  [/*]

Bug Fixes

• The camera no longer jumps to a random enemy when you die. No more sneak peaks for you my good sir/ma\'am/thing?

  [/*]

• Shop now validates your purchase. Mostly because you seem... shady.

  [/*]

• Now, when Saki casts, she looks at her enemies! No more backshots.. er, firing from the back!

[u]Greetings adventurers![/u]

Alpha 0.13 is now live with some of our most substantial improvements yet. This update focuses on making the game more accessible for new players while significantly refining core combat and progression systems under the hood.

[u]Tutorial System[/u]

First-time players will now receive contextual guidance from Saki and Tama as they learn the ropes:

• Messages pause the game and require acknowledgment, so you can\'t skip it and then complain!

  [/*]

  [/*]

[u]Shop System Enhancements[/u]

  [/*]

• Level-gated inventory with smarter item generation

  [/*]

• Enemies can no longer spot you from across the map. They still kill you just as fast though.

  [/*]

• The enemies (should) no longer stand around and stare at you!

  [/*]

• Enemies now scale with you. I can faintly hear the sound of the thu\'um.

  [/*]

• Skills now cost more as you get stronger. Didn\'t think you could spam shadow ball forever did you?

  [/*]

• More Enemies (in number, what do I look like, an artist?!) to fight. 10? 20? 30? more? who knows!

  [/*]

[u]UI and Visuals[/u]

Alpha 0.12: The Great Refactoring

Sound & Feel

Your adventures now have a proper soundtrack! Every spell cast rings with element-specific audio, level-ups get the fanfare they deserve, and even clicking buttons feels satisfying. Plus, you can finally pause the game without losing progress when life interrupts your dungeon crawling.

Learn Magic from Books (Like a Proper Wizard)

Forget grinding for skill points - now you can learn abilities by consuming skillbooks from merchants. It's knowledge you can literally eat, and your hotbar will thank you for the variety.

New Places to Explore

• Grassy Fields Floor One - A fresh outdoor zone perfect for testing your new skills

  [/*]

• Revamped Old Castle Floor One - I gave this classic area a complete visual makeover

  [/*]

Commerce Revolution

Charisma finally matters! Higher charisma means better merchant deals, and NPCs now shop based on their actual personalities instead of random impulses. Steve the Merchant got a name change to Bert (he's much friendlier now).

Combat & Character Improvements

• Shadow Creatures rebalanced as proper agile assassins

  [/*]

• Pet movement speed increased 50% (no more slowpoke companions)

  [/*]

• Spell rebalancing with Gather Shadows getting a well-deserved nerf

  [/*]

• Dynamic loot drops from enemies instead of predictable tables

  [/*]

Inventory That Actually Works

I completely rebuilt the inventory system from scratch. No more item duplication exploits, no more weird stacking bugs, and a shiny new "Sell Items" toggle for quick merchant interactions.

The Technical Stuff

For those who care about the under-the-hood improvements: we've overhauled three core systems (items, commerce, inventory), added proper save game management, enhanced UI architecture, and fixed approximately 847 bugs you didn't know existed.
