Updates: - General performance increased - Player movement speed increased - Players can now buy two plots of land from the Mayor - Inventory item quantity is now displayed centered over the bottom of the item - Player created items are now assigned item values for selling at the general goods store - Character Creation Updates

• Character randomization button added
• A randomized character will be generated for new characters and can be edited normally
• Recipes are no longer globally shared between characters
• Deleting a character card will now also delete all of that characters recipes

- Recipe Updates

• If a player creates a recipe and doesn't save before exiting the game, that recipe is now also not saved
• If a player deletes a recipe and then exits the game without saving that recipe will not be deleted
• Included recipes can be deleted (but cannot be recovered once this is done)

- General monster AI behavior improvements Bug Fixes: - Fixed a bug that stopped shop menu from opening after the first time - Fixed a bug that broke the drop-equip feature which allows the player to drop an item onto her/himself to equip it - Fixed a bug that caused an error while opening transaction menu INI files - Fixed a bug that caused chests to be empty upon new character creation - Fixed a bug that prevented player from mining resources below - Fixed a bug that prevented the player from attacking monsters below - Fixed a bug that stopped message boxes from closing - Fixed a bug that stopped zombies from changing back to normal when player is out of attack range The biggest thing to take away from this update is the new save/load system. Because of this new system all previous character saves and recipes will no longer work. Please delete any old characters. We debated for a time about this, but ultimately decided that because we're in EA we should focus more on additional content rather than backwards compatibility. If anyone has concerns please speak up and we will do our best to address them. Thanks!

The Rundown:
Werewolf Hunter X is a retro style 2d crafting survival and sandbox game that is currently in development by SeaCreatureSandwich, and boasts unique item building, procedural generation, rogue-like resource scarcity, mythical monsters, and much more.

Game Mechanics:
The unique Item Design mechanic allows the player to create, and share custom items in game time.
This can be handy for getting out of sticky situations. Stuck in a pit? Build a ladder! About to go into battle? Build a sword!
Want that sword to be made of Spaghetti noodles? That’s up to you. Material properties directly affect the player and the game world around them, so building armor out of lava is not recommended. There is no limit to what you can create when you design the items yourself!

Werewolf Hunter X also boasts Procedural world generation, random events, and rogue-like resource scarcity/trade-offs

Day and night cycle mechanics are also featured with persistent time, as well as weather mechanics, and player stats and buffs such as: Energy, speed and health.

​The Recipe Design Mechanic:
The Item design tool can be accessed at any point during the game. This is where the player will pick ingredients, shapes, colors, review the potential item stats, give the item a name and create the recipe. Save your design and then return to your adventure to create it, all in real time.

The Story:
A long time ago the planet called Earth was destroyed. The final act of the human race as Earthlings was to build four massive ships that would hold the sum of our kind. The ships were sent out into the far reaches of the universe in hopes that we might find a new home for mankind.

Roughly twenty two hundred years later one did! The planet was 98% compatible. Until then the best rating had been less than 5%. The planet's original inhabitants seemed to have suffered a species ending event that left the planet more or less intact.

After a thorough assessment while in orbit we landed and began to colonize. Our disassembled ship became strong walls around the colony, keeping out the wandering, ruthless monsters that were the shadows of the planet's previous tenants.

A message was sent to the other three ships so that they could make their way to Humanities new home, as they had all planned so long ago.

Now, we are left to prepare for their arrival. We must build our small colony into a great empire, fight off the demons of the new world, and conquer the unruly landscape of our new home.
