It's been about two months since the last big update. In that time, we've been busy improving the game.
New systems
We've added farming and fishing to the game. Both systems allow you to accrue food to be cooked by this li'l guy:
Use the resulting Wisdom Sludge to level up.
That brings us to...
Revamped adventurer progression
Adventurers can be leveled up individually rather than having them all level up at once when you beat an elite monster.
Skill points are given every other level, and skills are now randomly unlocked.
These changes were made to simplify the leveling experience, prevent players from having to read through ~10 skills at once, and allow for investing in specific adventurers.
Perks for everything!
Before this update, only the Town Hall had perks, and it only had ~6-7 "real" perks. Now, there are 5 different sets of perks to unlock:
This allows you to spend money on what you find to be important in the game.
In addition, there are some shiny new perks:
- Item Stacking: this lets you stack two or three items in a single location. This essentially doubles (or triples) your warehouse space, the efficacy of workers, the purchasing power of customers, and your own manual item movements!
- Quick-Move Menu: this lets you quickly select a destination for items without having to move the camera around.
Other notable changes
- Removed the vault: this was a personal storage location for items, but there just isn't much of a reason for it to exist yet.
- Revamped the tavern: the tavern is still for quests, but the quests no longer grant health and power to your adventurers. Instead, you're actually completing the quests of other skeletons, and by helping them with their unfinished business, they'll join your town as a worker.
- Improved the battle map's graphics: these now match the aesthetic of the game rather than being a generic, inked, D&D-style map.
