Devlog (Jan 1, 2025)

Hi, here's what I did since the last devlog:

• Added some monsters (bombman, sandworm, flying key), items (ring of x-ray vision, tome of permutation), and rooms (key room with monsters behind glass wall)

• After getting (most of) the art for 0.8.x, put it into the game

• Did some playtesting + fixing

• Released 0.8.2-patreon

I haven't decided on what to work on next but here's what's on my mind:
(perhaps I'll put out some polls over the next week or so)

• Main campaign/Seri events

• Pila events

• harder/kinkier sex scenes (e.g. Torne stuck pt 2, Nanako grappling -> fucking, Nanako femdom, 3somes)

• Have companions comment in the dungeon (e.g. "I need healing!", "Look, the stairs!")

• Experiment with character progression methods (e.g. stats, skill tutors, allow multiple enchantments)

• Town improvements (e.g. buildings, furniture, npcs)

• Misc improvements which consider first time players (e.g. WASD controls, simplified controls, make the first few levels easier, make the intro dialogues (pila, paila, chii) less verbose, add more explanations of game mechanics)

• Misc improvements to game juice/feel
