Been a month since the last cross-promo. Lots of progress on Warlordocracy. There are now inventory pets, including a parrot that you can command to take a shit on people. Greatly improved stealth mechanics and balanced combat. Also there are new sprites, objects, sidequests, and bug fixes. Still working on Chapter 4 -- should be done by New Years.
