July 2022 Public Update

I'm back from the longest break I've taken with this project since I started back in November! Apologies for being gone for so long. I had a bit of a difficult trip and had to move directly after. I've been changing priorities and trying to keep myself afloat through development and my other projects. I'm still working on Rapturous a bit every day, though!

In terms of project direction from here, I've been cleaning up the construction of Rapturous. I've been reading some textbooks on game and software design and taking courses on machine learning that have helped me restructure the game quite a bit. I think development will go in some interesting new directions from here.

===========================================================

This update fixed a lot of issues that were longstanding:

• Decks are now SAVED and don't need to be constantly remade each time you open the game.
• There are some new cards, status effects, and abilities to make use of.
• The shop's selling system is now more consistent.
• It's now possible to LEVEL UP by spending source.
• There's a lot of new assets and story characters.
• The pub will become unlockable as a place to meet new side characters. The first is already in the game! His name is Famir!

VERSION CHANGE BUGS:

There's a known bug where some players have triggered flags out of order with the current version. If you're stuck between Erenye's content and Mila's, try going to the Commission building several times, and Rampart lake now and then. 

That's not everything that was added but I hope it gets you ready for the new content!  Enter your name as "Skip" and you'll go to the end of the tutorial story.. I also recommend using the Q.Save and Q.Load features pretty much exclusively (it's more stable).
