Hi everyone.

A month passed since the last update, so it seems like it's time to post the new one. I wish I could wait until I have more features ready for this release, but I understand that doing stable updates is also important.

Here is a list of features I'm working on currently:

• Trading  ✓
• Fast travel ✓
• Innkeeper's H scene ✓
• Dungeon map X
• New mobs X
• The Minotaur's quest.  X
• Rewatching of H scenes
• Rock-scissors-paper type minigame for generic encounters

Features with check marks have made it into the new update. Instead of rushing the new dungeon stage, I decided to add a little preview without any mobs. The entrance can be found on the second forest stage, next to NPC Minotaur Guard.

I think that most of my efforts were spent on what I can't call a feature. I optimized the dialog scripts and tried to get rid of obsolete code. It was a necessary step to implement H scene replay. I was hoping to finish it before writing the innkeeper's H-scene. I made a mountain of changes to the dialogue scripts, and of course it required a lot of testing and fixing a mountain of bugs. Technical details about other things you can find below.

Changes:

• Travel (new): multiways. Doors and passages support multiple destinations.
• Travel (new): fast travel. Find different statues of goddess to unlock new destinations, then speak to priestess
• NPCs (bugfix): the chief will no longer be missing after you go into the woods to finish the intro chapter.
• NPCs (bugfix): goblin merchant's caption was corrected.
• Dialogues (new): added more diverts for Minotaur NPC's dialogue in the village.
• Dialogues (bugfix): after interrupting of jumping or shaking animation, character sprite now reset its position instead of staying in the air
• Dialogue System (update): got rid of some legacy code
• Inventory System (new): shop mechanics, now it's possible to buy stuff
• Inventory System (new): Goblin merchant now has a
• shop Inventory System (new): Witch now has a shop
• Inventory System (update): inventory UI was rebuilt and updated with new cosmetic features for better clarity
• Data Manager (new): it now performs a compatibility check during loading of saves. If the version of Data manager and version of saves don't match, the manager won't load them. Without a warning currently.

• H Scenes: completed the Innkeeper's H scene.

Known issues:

• Mob Contact Minigame: Keeping pressing [HOLD] button after you completely filled the progress bar, allows to refill the progress bar while Amber's animation is stuck at idle.
• Diary: when you chose to skip the intro, diary doesn't filled with necessary entries.
• Items Drop: the drop rate is too generous

That's all. See you next time!

P.S.: Sorry, I'm slow to respond to comments. When I'm working on my game, I have a tunnel vision that sometimes lasts for months.
