Version 0.2.7: More Islands

More Islands

There is now a world map which serves as a Mission/Island select screen:

And there's a new island to settle:

Your old island is saved when you send an expansion party to the new island. You can swap between the islands at any time, all progress in each of them is saved. The islands where you aren't present are paused though:

Quests

To unlock new islands, you need favor. Favor is gained by completing quests on each island. Currently these are just your standard progression goals.

Next

While normally I switch "mechanic" weeks with "content" weeks, there are a couple mechanics I still want to handle before 0.3. At that point I think the big mechanic overhauls will be done and it's time to fully work on content. Anyway, the remaining mechanics are:

Research Overhaul: I don't really like the Tome-Blueprint system. So I'm returning to the good old tech tree from all the way in the beginning. The way you get research will also work differently, and will use the breeding textures since it's a bit silly that those only exist in the BreedingPen which some people may never use.

Tutorial Island: A replacement for the old tutorial, this will be the very small starting island and have some quests to get you going.

Internal Trade: You can use favor to add trade routes between your islands, which is necessary as some islands lack certain resources.

External Trade: This replaces the current "Trades" system. Cities in the Empire will request certain batches of monstergirls, you get favor for providing these.

UI Stuff: You've probably already noticed that the UI is gradually changing to a darkblue center/gold border/burgundy highlights, and the info panels are turning modal. There are still places where this hasn't been done. But more importantly I also want to lean in more to using vertical lists instead of the current pages for girls/recipes/buildings, and allow for drag dropping.
