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

V0.3.08 (Oct 29, 2024)

New game features

- When mousing over an enemy unit in battle, evade chance now only shows for when physical attacks are being considered. If the attack is categorized as magical, reflect chance is displayed instead, and if it lust-based, rebuff chance is shown.

-- This reflects existing battle mechanics; there is no change to actual battle behavior, just the UI.

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

- Added new quest, Pixie Inna Jar. This can be found in the southeast of the Giusburg Outskirts region.

-- The quest can currently be completed, but some more prank random events are planned, along with possible tweaks to how often they trigger

- Added Pixie Prankster unit. This form has the Zap combat ability, as well as an ability that can teleport up to three enemies randomly to an open tile 4-5 tiles away from their previous location. Artwork is by silververity.

- Added Fox Romancer form. This form deals lust damage and is recruitable at various points of interest. Also added a recipe and transformation potions. Artwork is by silververity.

- Added new music by Caelus Windcat. This plays in various darker/more tense levels.

- Added three new lore books about the historical Siege of Magan

- Added new lore book about the dark elves

- Added Cheerful Fox Camp point of interest in the Vivian Plains. Only visible once First Steps into the Fray quest is completed.

-- Some Fox Romancers can be recruited here once the party has befriended the camp

Miscellaneous

- Made some of the outer tiles of the battle inaccessible to prevent units from "hiding" off the edge as much

- Reworked how the game keeps track of maps for battles, both quest and interactions with enemy parties in maps.

-- There should be little no changes in gameplay at this time, but this reworking allows for battle maps to be semi-randomized in the future to offer some more variety and supports future additions such as reinforcement zones and more

- Updated some older quests to use the current convention of 5xp for passing one-time successful skill rolls and 3xp for repeatable ones, such as with traps

- Added Forefox Rolls enlistee follower

Cheat/Debug controls (patreon-backer builds only)

- Added option to spawn in a random equipment-type item on Inventory cheat/debug panel

Bugfixes:

- Fixed back button in the companion equipment quick equip panel paging forward instead of backward

- Hostile NPC parties should now spawn in Giusburg Outskirts again and not just one of the hostile mermaid pods
