I'll probably be limiting Steam deploys to the major updates and not these smaller bugfixes. Many times more players will be using the Itch.io downloads. The Itch desktop client can operate the same way Steam does and download updates automatically though I have no personal experience with it myself.

2024-07-22 01:45:30 +0000 UTCHaving different characters have different mobility on terrains is something I definitely want to look into, like having mermaids be able to traverse water or slimes over slime. It requires some changes to the map parsing and battle pathfinding algorithm, and could lead to a scenario where a mermaid just sits out of range of a melee enemy and sea squirts them to death in total safety, so that possibility will have to be addressed as well.

2024-07-20 16:24:40 +0000 UTCI have really enjoyed playing this. I only have one minor complaint so far: In the mermaid rescue mission, after you rescue the mermaids, you need to escape. And there is a combat scene on the docks. Where your 10 or so rescued mermaids start on the dock, looking at two small ramps on the water that lead to the boat. I imagined a scene where they are guarding the ramp, and instead of charging up it, all my mermaids jump into the water, and then jump into their boat, ignoring the ramps. WHY CAN'T MERMAIDS ENTER WATER DURING COMBAT?!!! It was such an amazing set up for a proper introduction to using creature-specific tactics.
