-------------------------------

V0.5.02 (December 13, 2024)

New game features

- Adding in summoning inside battles

-- This can currently only be done by the Goblin Looter combat ability, Spring the Ambush!

-- Summoned entities spawn on an open tile directly adjacent to the target enemy entity. Tiles further away from the caster are prioritized.

-- If all tiles around the target enemy are blocked, the ability fails. The AI has a check around this and should avoid using the ability in this wasteful situation, but the player can still attempt it (for now).

-- Summoned entities take their first turn be between 3 and 7 turns after their summoner's, or otherwise at the very end of the round.

-- Summoned entities gain a non-expiring status effect in battle, Summoned. This prevents them from doing any summons themselves.

-- Summoned entities enter the battle starting at the same level as the caster. A random number in a range can be provided to modify this level to weaken the summon randomly by several levels.

-- Summoned entities are locked out of summoning any further entities to prevent snowballing effects

-- Summoned entities are not counted in the knocked out allied battlers count, nor appear in the post-battle departures battle

-- The summoning attack can still miss or be dodged as with other physical attacks.

-- Summoned enemy battle entities do not contribute to post-battle loot

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

- Added The Rising Star quest introducing the third companion, Aros Starchime.

-- This quest is found at the Mad Mare Tavern in Whitetail Watch during the daytime or sunset.

-- Aros' black-and-white artwork is a work in progress! Art is by LadyCleopatra.

-- Aros has thoughts on many of the major quests except for North Shore. He does not yet have any thoughts on his current form aside from his base body.

-- Aros has a base form ability, Battlesong, that buffs up to six nearby unique allies taking only one movement point and not ending his turn

- Added Crown of the Lethal Huntress, a tier 1 head equipment item that improves marksmanship and increases critical hit chance

- Added Undergarment of the Goblin underwear item that allows the wearer to use the new goblin summoning combat ability

Miscellaneous:

- Added X to close for more panels including inventory, party views, quests, and resting

- Moved the multi-ability panel's confirm and clear buttons from End Turn button to reduce the chance of a misclick

- Battle multi-ability panel now uses E to confirm hotkey and X to reset the target list

- Added a "show base forms" / "show current forms" toggle on the follower list view

- Added a small choice button reminder to The Sword in the Grass quest to remind the player they must be in their bunny knight form to hand in the feast items

Bugfixes:

- Bugfix for direct healing combat abilities such as Healing Perfume Soothing Touch not scaling to Battlefield Restoration in combat

- Bugfix for soothing giving lust damage instead of removing it in battles

- Bugfix for popup dungeons not resetting in the case of the player being knocked out due to health loss or lust overflow

- Fix for equipment bonuses being mislabeled as status effects in statistics panel

- Bugfix for "Then Along Came a Spider" for when a companion is targeted but none are eligible
