OCTOBER 2024 UPDATE ONE!
It's time to seize your first significant victory, with both hands!
ADDED: QUEST: GHOST MILK. The first ever quest is out, and although still unrefined (every scout needs a unique portrait, and some unique dialogue) is very much playable and finishable. Like other major updates, this feels barebones because, it is! Doing something ONCE in code and in games is the most difficult, now that it has been done once, it can be polished and then duplicated and altered a lot, going forward.
ADDED: Haunthag! A spooky ghost that haunts the dark forest, she’s also got a unique version you can pick up, if you do the new quest...
Added the “Unique” trait to monsters, which carries state bonuses. Also began a pass to add shiny versions of monsters, which may be easier to do than previously speculated.
Monsters now have an AFFLICT and RESIST stat, which aren’t relevant yet but WILL be relevant, and visible, when status effects, dots, hots, and environmental effects are added.
WIND monsters + 10 speed
SPARK monsters + 5 special attack
MIND monsters + 4 energy regen
GHOST monsters +2 defense, +2 special defense
((Been ages since I looked over stats and combat balancing, that's definitely gonna need a pass for Nov))
Fixed: Vedabug can no longer initiate a battle against you if you are IN a battle.
Fixed: Only one battle can be initiated at a time. (previously you could get a double battle initiation from touching two grass simultaneously OR from a world monster bothering you, and this confused the game).
COMING: Shortly I will finish the other scout portraits, and do a second pass on this quest!

If your wondering what's going on, the mid month update got delayed, and then rolled into November which promises to by yuge.
Found an odd bug? If you open the map (m), then the menu (tab), then close the map (m), you can walk around without progressing time. Opening the menu will resume time, closing the menu will stop it. You can transition zones stuck in time, cant get random encounters, and can open chests/pick fruit. It might also just be me, but it seems like the memory leak issue eases off a bit and the game plays a bit smoother while time stopped. Edit: You also get infinite sprint. The goat guy still responds to you. Eventually, the game will crash if you continue to stay in a time stopped state. (I have only crashed when interacting with chests and getting near the chasing bugs)
Just curious, when will we be able to activate the other quests?
well I like what I am seeing but just one question where can I download the new update. ???
it replaced the old update, so you just need to download it from the same mega link.
I'm liking what I'm seeing already! Appreciate your hard work and dedication to the craft.
