User Experience Improvements

A variety of improvements to the user interface and usability of the game, plus fixed a couple crashes in the passing. Summary:

Can now bypass cut scenes you've already seen. (You could actually do this before somewhat, but it didn't remember what scenes you saw across different games. Now it does.) Unfortunately it's not retroactive, it doesn't start remembering scenes until you replay the scenes starting from this build.
Scovilr App can now be used with gamepad.
Improved Crash Report User Interface.
Fixed issue where Jocelyn (of "peckernose" fame) doesn't sell the (free) Maps App.
Removed an edge case that made it was possible to sneak into the Chateau before getting your commission to Rescue the Princess, which makes the game unwinnable.
Closed an unintentional loophole that allowed one to cross the desert without hydrating. (You never really know if loopholes are intentional in this game, but this one was definitely unintentional.)

And here are the crashes that have been fixed.

If you continue or restoring a saved game in a Spinner Mote, the game would crash when you tried to exit, that's been fixed.
If you happen to click in a very specific place while deciding what to say, game will crash. This has been fixed.

Preview of some content upgrades I have in mind, which may or may not be released, and at no particular fixed schedule. Many of you have seen a couple places in the game I claim DLC is coming*. Despite calling it DLC I'm not planning it a separate add on, I will add these as part of a regular update. I have a sidequest planned for the University of Chingaim library, and a little minigame in the Scovilr factory to make you earn those Speed Boots. Speaking of which, I'm also planning to make the Speed Boots less annoying in a later update. Finally, I want to add one or two more game Apps. Beyond that, we'll see.

An epic action-adventure video game that is definitely not a legend.

If you're looking for a game where you blow up a lot of stuff or murder a lot of people... this is not your game.

If you're looking for a game that's a beautiful visual spectacle... this is not your game.

But, if you're looking for witty razor-sharp satire on the themes of video games in our society... this is still not your game.

If you are looking for a zany spoof in the style of Monty Python and Mel Brooks... this is your game.

The beautiful, redheaded, and obnoxiously thin Princess Carmeana has been kidnapped and held ransom. The King, not wanting to incur the expense of deploying the army, decides to recruit a "fairy boy" to Rescue the Princess™. Meanwhile, there lived a poor farm boy named Kai (pronounced "Lance"). One day as he was trudging back to town, he encountered a fairy named Tabitha and saved her from financial ruin. Tabitha decided to tag along with Kai for awhile (it was the least she could do). As luck (or Destiny, depending on whether you believe Tabitha or Kai) would have it, they soon encountered an army recruiter who was looking for a "fairy boy". Kai's Glorious Quest™ to save the hot rich skinny redhead had begun.

In this third-person action adventure, Kai will travel all over the ostensibly medieval kingdom of Bowtudgel (rhymes with "cow cudgel") in his quest to Rescue the Princess™. Along the way, he will solve puzzles, make money, conquer a set dungeons that are one-to-one with the Kingdom's major biomes, help people (sort of), kill enemies (sort of), buy hats, and find future DLC sidequests that you know very well the game developers will never get around to making. Along the way, he'll discover that there might be something even bigger at stake than a missing princess....
