Phew! Sorry for the wait, the veteran character story has now been added into the game! We've also got new items and a ton of fixes and improvements!
You guys have been leaving some great feedback, it's been a massive help and all the kind words are always great for our motivation! :D
Next up, more character stories and things to do in the street!
Changes and new stuff
⦁ The Veteran character story is now playable! The Veteran starts with a minor random item of clothing (The item may change on your next run if you make it past winter) and unique maladies. Unique night events are also possible!
⦁ We finally added an options menu to the title screen! :D
⦁ Several new items have been added!
⦁ Pedestrians have more possible responses and interactions!
⦁ More night events have been added
Balancing
⦁ Less scrap is found on the street by default
⦁ Crime level now increases even more when caught by police and you already have a moderate crime level
⦁ Rental price greatly reduced from £200 to £150
⦁ Various perks which are OP to obtain as your first perk in the early game, now only appear as a possible perk choice after already obtaining a couple perks in that category (Looking at you, recycler perk...).
⦁ Slightly decreased base chances of being mugged
⦁ "Alert" perk is more effective
⦁ Slightly increased base cash earned from busking
⦁ "Beguiler" perk now also slightly increases cash gained from choice interactions with pedestrians
⦁ You no longer get change from sleeping on a bench if you do it for less than an hour
⦁ "Charm" perk changed, it no longer affects job success. Now, pedestrians may give you better items...
