We're finally back with another huge content patch!
Sorry this one took a while, it was another case of needing to add a certain amount of things in order for it all to make sense as a whole. We're going back to lots of smaller patches for the near future...
Also, while this was meant to be a "story patch", we kinda went and just added a bunch of other stuff.
Anyway, let's get on with the patch notes!
Changes and new stuff
⦁ New artwork and various graphics have been updated
⦁ A new perk system! Also, we've doubled the number of perks in the game! Many old perks are also updated. People continuing their old runs with the former perk system saved in may experience some issues (mostly being able to more perks than they should), but it should translate fine.
⦁ New night events!
⦁ New sfx
⦁ New music
⦁ A new Charity event has been added
⦁ Various new and updated menus, ui elements, etc.
⦁ Work buff system added. Gain work specific mini perks while you have a job! (Not all of them are good...), more on this to come!
Balancing
⦁ Constantly giving cash to homeless is now less effective if you keep doing it
⦁ Early levels unlock a bit faster
⦁ People give food less often
⦁ City events now occur more often
⦁ Winter coat no longer gives rain immunity with certain other item combos (exploit fix)
⦁ You no longer get fired immediately from jobs, you may get a warning instead
⦁ Time passes a little more slowly
⦁ Studying now only awards happiness if you study well
⦁ Losing your jobs now costs more happiness
⦁ The rate at which perks are earned has changed
⦁ There's now a small chance you won't lose an item when going to jail
Bug Fixes & Improvements
⦁ Fixed Spirits being available in shop before it was unlocked
⦁ Fixed yet another night event black screen bug!
⦁ Fixed being able to enter buildings just as the day ends
⦁ If you lose an item after going to jail, a popup now actually tells you that happened
⦁ You can no longer use the shelter when drunk
⦁ Fixed the "Rent book" button appearing when you couldn't actually rent a book
⦁ Scrap click boxes now take priority over pedestrians, to prevent begging mis-clicks
⦁ Fixed some cases where the side of the park wasn't spawning
⦁ Fixed Scrap master not increasing scrap capacity
⦁ Fixed a case where a pedestrian would offer food and you'd get something else
⦁ Fixed rain not always reducing happiness
⦁ Status icons at the top of the UI are now more obvious when they appear
