Test build 0.0.24

Hey everyone, I have an update to share with you. But a quick note. 

Test build

I made a slight mistake. This month ended up being rather busy. Our team did a game jam this year. We join strawberry jam, it's the most popular adult game jam and it's only hosted yearly. it's a month long jam and of course it was hosted during this month. (This is how witchy dare came to be! I joined by myself last year. But this year had a team.) 

So I thought I could handle both a game jam and this update since I had most of EOK ready. Sadly we had a few bugs that didn't that took a bit to solve and I wasn't able to finish the art to a level to where I wanted it to be. I did finish a new monster and the crafting system does work but it feels a bit lack luster. I only found out I was way over my head too late and I didn't want to delay the update being so close to the end of the month. So I figured I would split the difference.

I'm going to upload the test build of 0.0.24, that way you all can see the new content no matter what. I'll be doing a new update in march, this update will be an art update. I'll be updating old art and add in new item art. Then release a normal 0.0.24. There was a lot I wanted to do and I've tried a few new game workflow for this month's game jam that I hope to use for EOK. 

Other news

In other news, starting in march Gummi is going to be our community manager. We've been talking about this for a while and I need help to add more to the discord. I've been uploading more art as you been seeing but I wanted there to be a way to get help keeping you all in the loop. She is going to first show off more of her work progress for making items and helping with sharing game dev posts. She's going to support me and add more art to next month's art update for 0.0.24.

We are thinking around March 16 but I will let you know for next month's news post which I will post up on Monday. Apologizes for this delay but I don't want to make you wait for next update to get what i wanted into the game but I didn't want to give you nothing for this month. So I think this is a good middle.  

Thank you all for taking the time to read and thank you for your support.

Change list

New town point: The Barracks 

New monster : Rat Bandit

New loss story: Rat Bandit

New Crafting System redo: The crafting system now works, improved from the last time. Crafting recipes now can use tools, a butter knife can cut apples and a rock can crush berries. Some recipes can now heat and will need a heat source. We plan on adding items like campfires or events for this heat but for now if you find a base, it will be used a heat source.
