Firstly thank you to the folks who have been playing on the Test Builds brach and putting up with frequent updates and providing feedback.
Here’s whats new in this update:
NEW
- New Game + - You can now load an existing character when you start a new game. This will load in your appearance, skills, inventory, and money.
- You can now filter and search the People window.
- Added a raid difficulty setting for when you start a new game.
- Added a new starting scenario for starting the game as a village drunk. This start will make your character an alcoholic who needs to drink alcohol to maintain their mental ability.
- Added a garden upgrade to houses and huts so you will be able to harvest eggs, fruit, and vegetables from home.
- Some new animations.
- Updated UI panels, main menu, options menu, load menu, and save menu.
- Added a setting in options to change the colour and opacity of the UI.
- A new “New Game” experience.

FIXES

- Fixed navigation issues with the Den.
- Fixed an issue where you could build more markets than you’re meant to by building them all at once.
- Fixed a bug where homemade productions would continue even after you went to work at your job.
- Fixed a bug where in some cases you could send a caravan to the character creator screen.
- Fixed a bug where you could start a town using an Estate plot, which would cause the game to break.
- Fixed a bug where in some cases you could be elected Town Reeve, but not actually receive the position.
- Fixed a bug where Watchmen would not load in.
- Fixed it so you can now longer use the action buttons when you’re at work or in the pit.
