So, it's finally out!
So, to be honest, I am just adding some final touches and finishing up content at this point. I have the stuff I need (at least almost) for the end of the game. I just need to add the final boss and then finish up the games other stuff. That isn't to say this is going to be done in a jiffy, but for the content I am adding, it is mostly what I want the final product to have. And as such, this release has been to fill up areas I need to have more stuff.
I had some thoughts on what to do. First of all, I personally love the casino. I just love how it allows me to do some silly stuff, adding events that would feel off everywhere else, and adding more games for the people who have already finished everything else, or for a lucky beginner who gets something worthwhile. As such, I added a new game in the casino. It's basically a slot machine, though it is run by a bit of a maniac. Have fun finding it.
So far it has not gotten all of the content that I wanted it to have. I need to add many more prizes for the player to get there. There are a few already, but I want to add prizes for all of the major rolls in the game. 4 of a kind should always add something cool, and other such hidden combinations. For now, feel free to try it, but know it is not done prize wise.
Secondly AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING I REALLY HAVEN'T ADDED TO THE GAME YET EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN ANY JRPG OMG THIS IS A DISASTER, WHY DIDN'T I ADD IT BEFORE!?!?!?!?!?
Whenever I play a game like Alone, I always LOVE when I find area bosses. Bosses that aren't meant to be defeated the first time you see them, but are meant to be a target. Where you grind to come back later and beat them for some cool loot!
I have decided to start adding bosses to different areas. Some will be hidden in areas where you need to solve some puzzle, reach some place in the story, or the like. Others will be available just from finding them, or doing something near them. I have added 2 such bosses and with them, I have added special spells that they will allow the player to use.
These spells are special. They all do something special, and it was a lot of work, adding their special effects and animations. For now.
I bed everyone to tell me what you think of the spells: Are they OP? Too Weak???
My goal is for them to be fun to use, better than normal spells, but with some element of chance to offset their power.

For more bug info:
-Check the discord bug section for what bugs have been reported if you are interested.
-I know that the random events on the world map end with the player staying in his "wagon" or "ship" form and I will fix soon, promise! For now, change clothes, that should work. (In divine's private room you can change clothes)
-I realized the player walks "on top of" the stuff at the docks in the player city. Will try and fix soon.
Upcoming:
-More fixes will be deployed in upcoming releases. There are many bugs, and some take a long time to fix so I will be adding some fixes to all releases, if possible, from now on. Please, add all bug reports to the discord bug section. Adding to the blog posts can work, though I don't always get to check back to earlier posts if I didn't get to fix it for the current release. Discord is ultimately the best place to report.
-I realized I have done something wrong for a long time. If you find events where the characters you speak with seem to weirdly not turn towards you, let me know which so I can fix them!

General info: The pornstash is unfortunately not a priority. Currently I am going for some revamps and content that will help finish up the game. There isn't much left of the actual game, but my limited work time is making it drag out. As for the pornstash, it is a minor priority, and as such will not be worked on for the time being, though I will likely add something alongside the revamped systems, as I will be making things easier for myself.
