Incubus Realms - Escapism 1.302 "Open up!" (public post to Itch.io)

Thank you all for your support and your patience, this update doesn't have everything I wanted it to have, but it's getting there! I hope you'll appreciate the changes.

If you're wondering what happened to the 1.3, it's been tested by your fellow patrons on my discord server, I usually post it there first when it's unstable then release the stable build here.

Changelog:

• You can now present your party to the gargoyle.

  • Special reaction when gnome or Rohan.

  • Random affliction (No effect at the moment)

• Destinations will be marked as “???” until discovered.

• Moving from room to room now costs ‘steps’ which resets once you end your turn regardless of a good rest or not. Their cost may vary depending on the distance and the effort required. Additionally the cost is announced as you hover a destination.

• New rooms in the caves and the swamp.

• New dark rooms requiring Yuvee.

• “Felsic & the bear” events were added, Felsic’s route was adjusted so that when you first speak to him he won’t fall in the hole next to him but at a later one on his way to find Kristof.

• “Emile and the werecanine” memory was added.

• Updated assets:

  • Rohan pushing out Amaïr’s seed.

  • Lucien trapped in the fungal organism.

  • Yuvee’s lantern.

  • Anthony’s rat form

  • Pipe rats in Lucien

  • Rat orgy top and down:

    • Cyril

    • Rohan

    • Amaïr (Guardian)

• Daagün ends up in the goblin’s lair more consistently.

• Daagün can be reunited with his hobgoblin self.

• Cyril can be saved from the rock prison.

• Cyril will be found in the rock prison after he’s been dropped in the sewers.

• Felsic can be reunited with his Goblin/Gnome counterpart.

• Kristof can be saved from his golem state.

• Anthony can now be invited in the sanctuary even after the rats got to him.

• Centaur Fight Flight or Freeze full interaction added as part of the forest encounters.

  • There’s a scene with Anthony in it.

• Fixed the vertical panning animation for large illustrations (eg. Kristof’s cave worms and Victor’s boar ritual).

Patch 1.301

• WIP guy no longer announces the swamp as low priority.

• Prisoners will now appear during trades.

• You can now reset Anthony, Cyril and Rohan to their original form by using human seed.

• The saving ‘PicklingError’ has been fixed, seems like I was redefining the reserved keyword ‘Return’ at some point when the player hit companions/prisoner limit.

• Companions/Prisoners limit has been temporarily lifted due to potentially soft-locking the player and losing characters permanently.

• Anthony’s name can now be discovered through his topics as a companion.

• Fixed an error in encoding synonymous names for characters causing them to share a common resource instead of creating individual entries.

• Event picture added:

  • Centaur aftermath Lucien.

  • Gnome Lucien rides Goblin Lucien.

• Interactions added:

  • Gnome Lucien with Goblin Lucien.

• Interactions in the following ares have been fixed:

  • Lower Swamp, Shrine view, now correctly invites you to dive down.

  • Higher Swamp, Chasm, now correctly invites you to climb down. The tree nook has been given a temporary description.

  • Dryad’s Ladder, Rock, now hints at the fact travelling NPCs will rest here in future updates.

  • Dryad’s Roots, Pond, now gives off a temporary description. The cave has been sealed by WIP guy as it seems the area will require more work, for now it won’t cause a crash.

• Memories added:

  • Anthony as a watchman during the centaur encounter.

  • Previously helped the centaur variation.

Patch 1.302

• Memories added:

  • Felsic rescued by the bear.

  • Felsic rewarding the bear.

• Event Pictures added/refreshed:

  • Guardian tops Lucien.

• Interactions added for gnome Daagün and gnome Felsic.

• The view down to the shrine no longer crashes the game, there was a typo in the code.

• Interactions from behind the shrine have been given simplified descriptions to avoid crashes.

• Portraits of characters within companion/prisoner screen have been adjusted to fit their frame.

• The trading now uses the new menu instead of the old one.

• Edited all paths to lower case and adjusted some functions for Linux and Android compatibility.

  • Note: There may still be errors I haven’t encountered, please report if you do.

• Help button added to summon WIP Guy, he’ll help you with the following:

  • Unstuck the player.

    • This restores the player’s body.

    • Also gives them Yuvee.

  • Locating NPCs.

  • Recovering NPCs.

  • Resetting tutorials.

  • Skipping current scene.

• Fixed a bug where returning to an area instead of using the bookmark could make you jump to the next area.
