Hello everyone!

I've just completed the cloth swapping/removal feature. In the pause menu, on the left, you can now choose one of the layers of clothing, and Maya will change into that. Each layer will actually have different benefits and drawbacks during gameplay.

This means that Maya can now get naked at will, and this is in preparation for the upcoming gameplay feature of "Essence Gathering", that is, engaging with the enemies ero scenes on purpose, in order to "farm" essence from them, which will be used as currency in the game.

Additionally, there are now 2 new usable items: Dust of Protection, and Mystical Clothing. The former will apply a slow regeneration effect to the armor's durability, and the latter is the legit way to restore broken layers of clothing.

When using the Mystic Clothing, it plays the neat animation that you can see in the preview. So finally there are legit in-game ways to repair/restore amor, whereas before we had only the debug keys F7 to restore durability, and F8 to restore the full layers.

That said, those 2 items will be relatively uncommon (found in secret areas) and expensive (in the upcoming Haruna's shop), with the Mystic Clothing being particularly rare.

Later on, when I implement all of Farina's functionalities, she will always restore Maya's armor for free (or perhaps require a low symbolic amount of essence). Therefore the item itself is more useful to have in a pinch, like in the middle of a tough boss fight.

Best Regards,
Mega
