V0.18.0.1

Sorry for the long time since last update. I ended up doing some other stuff than I thought. But I think now every bigger thing is implemented and I can just post a new version anytime I want. (previously there were always half finished things that kinda broke the game during the transition etc.).
So now I'll try for a more consistent update schedule.

V0.18.0.1 (only unlockables.sav is compatible)

Dating:

• a lot more events/pictures

• more cards/upgrade options

• can only date each character once/day

• most uniques have a small unique dating effect/passive

Overworld:

• Full portals are now saved (savefile bigger based on current loaded portals. might cause loading of the save selection screen to take longer with many savefiles for now.)

• Changing tiles affects daily changes/regrow things

• separated building/terraform menu. 

• (foundation for more complex buildings with storage/ability to assign characters etc. in future)

• some things can be build at higher range

Town:

• some locations have an additional npc

• some more special options and events

• evo-show update

• in shows, guests now leave when satisfaction stays at 100 or 0 for 2 turns

• time cost for show-actions and duration halved. (ranks increase max time)

• Removed the nearby location buttons

• Removed some library tabs and updated info.

Start:

• Added loadouts for starting selections. 

• Mc-genetics from character creation give bonus base stats now.

• Some genetic starting traits have additional benefits.

• One random profession has a yellow bonus, also giving you more options for first essence.

Other:

• Cleaned up some decriptions/tutorial etc.

• Updated story/lore stuff to be more consistent.

• Druid has a new starting passive, granting a bonus based on stance.

• Expanded fairy help suggestions 

• Unique looks and some abilities are kept after fusing, if the species matches.

• Characters can toggle between guard and shield as defensive action. (testing for now)

• many small QoL changes

• some new "cheats":

• "skill+ +skillname" list species with that skill (e.g "skill Fireball").

• "passive+ +passivename" to list passives. 

• "glimpse" to reveal gallery temporarily without messing with unlocks.

• those don't flag a file as cheating.

• While a file is flagged as cheating, you're now never encumbered.

Noteworthy bug fixes:

• Soft lock when a character had regeneration/bleed effects at the same time in a specific order.

• AI-focus setting didn't do anything.

• character quest rewards were always the same

• some types of dating action didn't immediately update stats.

• growth essences only applied to fusions and not eggs.

• some elemental weaknesses weren't consistent with tooltips.

Next:

• I still have to write descriptions for scenes/events, which was kinda the main thing I wanted to do this update.

• Next I'll probably clean up/add some overworld events, fill in town stuff and add many rare world objects/biomes etc.

• Otherwise there aren't that many placeholders etc. in the game anymore and the core will soon be mostly finished.
