🐟 0.81 Alpha — Sea and Savannah🐟

⚠️ Work-in-Progress Disclaimer

First things first: we're actively commissioning artists to replace all AI-generated images with fully hand-drawn art. This transition will take time, so visual inconsistencies are expected while the process is ongoing.

To help with this, there’s now a toggle in the settings to switch between:

• Drawn Art – Our new default. Reflects the intended style and tone of the game.
• AI Art – Still available for those who prefer it. It’s often more detailed and consistent for now, and we recognize its place in the project’s history.

We do not plan to remove AI-generated art entirely. Some players prefer it, and we want to honor the journey this project has taken — but from this update forward, Drawn Art will be the default setting.

As always, nothing in this build is final, and your feedback continues to shape the game’s direction.

With that out of the way, here are the patch notes:

🎨 Drawn Art Progress

We're gradually phasing in fully drawn art. Here's what’s currently in the game and what’s in the works:

Completed Art:

• Fox (Breast Expansion) – 6 images
• Wolf (Muscle Growth) – 5 images
• Shark (Breast Expansion) – 3 images
• Cow (Breast Expansion) - 2 Images

In Progress:

• Cow (Breast Expansion) – 13 images
• Fox (Breast Expansion) – 9 more images
• Wolf (Muscle Growth) – 10 more images
• Shark (Breast Expansion) – 12 more images

Expect updates as more sets are completed and added over time.

🐞 Bug Fixes

• Fixed numerous issues, including a major one where large numbers of fights on the same save file would cause massive save file bloat (and not in a fun way).
• Other minor stability and performance improvements.

🌿 New Gathering Skill: Foraging

• Search the wilds for edible resources that don’t run away.
• Occasionally, you’ll find rare or unusual ingredients — if luck’s on your side.

🍳 New Crafting Skill: Cooking

• Use ingredients to prepare food with a variety of effects.
• Add boosters to modify meals — some simple, some complex... and some probably just bad ideas.
• Experiment freely. Some of the best combos might be hidden behind the worst mistakes.

🏗️ New Crafting Skill: Construction

• Build permanent upgrades using gathered materials — finally, a use for all that stone you’ve hoarded.
• Includes structures that generate passive XP and bonus Gold over time.

⚔️ New Combat Mechanics: Multiple Enemies

• Certain encounters now include sequential or supporting enemies who can complicate a fight just by showing up.
• New skills and effects directly interact with this system — you’ll need to adapt.

🌍 New Zone: The Savannahs of Phanelyn

• Explore a harsh, sun-scorched land where nomadic tribes follow a colossal divine elephant across the plains.
• Unique culture, environment, and gameplay challenges.

👹 New Enemies

• Hera’s Company: Ruthless mercenaries for hire
• Vagabonds: Drifters and opportunists of the open scrublands
• Watering Hole Inhabitants: Local fauna and flora that do not like visitors

🛡️ New Equipment

• Many new weapons and items now drop from enemies.
• Several feature unique skills that can radically change your combat style.

🌀 New Combat Skills & Status Effects

• Dozens of new skills added, along with a variety of new status effects.
• Some are familiar (e.g., Silence), others... less so. (What exactly does Space Shortening do?)

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 New NPCs

• Meet the business-savvy matron of the Guildhall.
• Trade goods with a sharp-tongued vampire running the trading post.
• ...and many others with their own stories and secrets.
