Public 0.1.6: Training, Trading and Enchanting

A new month, a new public release. This version is mostly bug-free, especially compared to 0.1.3. Unfortunately it also means that there's less content than usual, as some extra time was spent ironing out bugs and reworking the back-end of the dungeon system.

Training:

Training just means employing your monstergirl in a training center, selecting a recipe, and getting a result once the training is completed. This result varies. It can be a new perk, or just extra levels. The system is extremely flexible and uses the same scripting as moves/curios/everything.

See here for more information: https://erodungeons.itch.io/ero-hunters/devlog/895466/public-013-bunnies-wolves-...

Trading:

The mainland will send requests for special monstergirls your way. Completing these will grant goodwill, which can be traded for a consistent trickle of resources.

Enchanting:

Similar to Palworlds condensing system, you can now use three monstergirls to enchant a monstergirl of the same race. Enchanting grants the target a multiplicative production boost, vastly increasing production speed (and going further into the "playing tall" idea).

Pet:

Wolves now have a feral and kneeling variant. Behind the scenes this required a bit of work from the animation and puppet system, but now it's a lot more flexible than in Ero Dungeons.

Dungeon Tooling:

Behind the scenes, dungeons have fully changed to be changeable in-game instead of being created (rather messily) in the game engine. This shouldn't impact gameplay at all, but make further development a lot easier.

Version 0.1.8: Bats (Patreon/Subscribestar)

As always, weekly versions are released on PATREON/SUBSCRIBESTAR, support me there for early access.

There's a new monstergirl, the Bat. Their unique class is the Hypnobat with a focus on adding confusion tokens which can then be used to issue commands (e.g. stun, disrupt, strip, die). Adding them did require some improvements to the animation system, primarily in getting robust fallback animations since most ordinary animations don't work when a monstergirl is flying and/or has wings.

Starting Gear

You can now select your starting equipment when beginning a new game.

This is the first step towards a bit of a resource rework, where ana will play the role of the "instant action" resource, compared to crafting resources. This rework is needed, since it has become obvious that the current system won't work well when expanded to 36 goods. But more on that later. 

Next

Bats aren't completely finished, they still lack a breeding texture and small sprite textures. Additionally, I'll start working on the resource rework mentioned above.
