Growing Explorations v0.2 PATREON

Added 2023-08-04 20:23:49 +0000 UTC

Well, here we are. This update has mostly been bug fixes as well as system changes. That said, there is some new story to enjoy as well as an FMG sequence.

I would like to point out, that due to some reasons, loading was broken, so I have disabled it for this version. I will be reworking the system and it should be fixed for the public release of this update. I am very sorry for this problem and I will work on fixing it ASAP. I think it should not be of too much concern as of now, as the story currently is very short and it can be played within 5 minutes. Also, I have added a debug setting for you, the patrons, to enjoy, so it should make saving not mandatory.

Huge thanks to Meredosia for donating music and sounds for the game. Also, another significant contributor is HMBurner, who made sprites for the player.

With that out of the way, here are the main changes in this update:

Biome system - comes with 3 new biomes. Because of this, the world is now not infinite, but it will expand as more biomes are added.
New NPC with her own growth sequence and a bit of story (to find her read the dialogue with the starter NPC carefully)
New enemy - the Wold
Trading system - you can now purchase items from the new NPC
Improved spawn mechanics - it is now much more balanced and easy to find enemies
Better UI elements
Better growth sequences
Holes have been swapped to lakes
Human and Dwarf talents fixed
Tons of QoL updates
Patreon exclusive Debug menu, with some cheats for those who do not want to grind

The game is still in the same place for Patreon access: https://faustto.itch.io/growing-explorations-early-access/patreon-access

Anyways, enough of that. I hope you enjoy this version and I hope to hear your feedback!
