V0.12.01-V0.13.0 (September 1, 2025)

New game features

- Reworked food system to allow for superior meals to grant the consumers special effects to enhance their stats

-- The "leftovers" system is still in place, so meals created from using an inventory item are not wasted if any is left over after mealtime. For example, 7 party members each eating 1 meal from 1 field rations leaves 5 meals for next time.

-- Meal-based status effects expire after 12 hours. Eating the same same meal again renews the relevant status effects

-- Party members who require multiple meals such as dragons or minotaurs only gain the benefit from a particular meal type once. However, if they eat a new type of meal for their second or third serving, they do gain those status effects as well.

-- The item mousover description panel lists all status effects gained when consuming a meal

-- Added new crafting station type, the Cooking Station that allows for the creation of meals or ingredients used in meals

--- These can be found in most "towny" maps like Aledock Town, Whitetail Watch, Camp Kestrel, Fort Veronica, and more, generally in private kitchens or in/near bakeries

-- Recipe output quantity and costs are likely to change in the future to ensure as many meals are output compared to the quantity used as ingredients

- Added a UI for food management. This is accessed via the bottom HUD navigation bar as a bread icon

-- Players can assign priorities for each food type from a value between 0 and 100. Higher level priority foods are consumed before others.

-- This view lists all food types present in the party inventory when this panel is opened, as well as any previous priorities that were listed before

-- This view also allows the player to quickly toggle on or off whether certain foods are permitted to be eaten, the same as the Do Not Eat / Resume Eating button that appears on food types in the party inventory

-- Field rations have a special highlighted background as they remain the "core" food type for the party

-- The player can reset their food preferences, setting all food priorities back to defaults. Any food type not in the party inventory stops being listed until more is gained back in the future

-- When there are 4 or fewer hours until the party's regular mealtime, and when the party has at least a day's worth of meals in the inventory, the player can click Eat Now to immediately eat

--- While wasteful, this can also help to ensure the party can gain any positive food status effects before a large battle

-- Out of stock foods can be hidden via a toggle. Foods not in stock have their name and quantity texts in a gray color.

-- Added tutorial messages for the crafting and cooking stations

New game content (quests/writing/art/etc):

- Expiring status effects now show up in the map-up effect logs

-- When more than 6 logs would be normally generated in a game tic, the logs are consed down to a reduced view that reads like "Drunk status effect expires on you, 3 companions, and 7 followers" to reduce onscreen spam

- Similarly, when followers rank up a veterancy, map-up effect logs are displayed to inform the player, and may also be condensed into one log
