FreeHolder Steam Alpha 1 Hotfix 8
7.19.2016
Announcements
Updated Control Scheme
Due to the demand of both reasonable players and simple logic, I have normalized the controls across all the various screens of the game. Right-click now backs up to the previous menu, whereas the hotkey ` closes and exits to the main screen. This is not true of the market ledger, where the right click is used extensively on market items. It should now be easier and more intuitive than ever to navigate the many menus of FreeHolder!
Save Fixes
Addressing a problem with typed XP failing to load also prompted me to make a small number of fixes to the save system to prevent a source of load game bugs. I have coded in these changes in such a way that it should not affect your current saves, but keep in mind any old saves will not have the typed XP loaded properly, which should only be a problem if lydia and kaius were about to level when you saved.
Dormitorium Upgrades
A feature I've been wanting to implement for a while, the first round of Dormitorium upgrades, have been added. You can build a sauna which will allow you to spend firewood for extra effects during the feeding phase. You can also add insulation to your walls which reduce the need for heat during cold months. Please let me know what you think of these additions!
