Alpha Update 1.02

1.02 Hotfix. Just some quick fixes to address issues brought up. Unless this patch seriously breaks things, the next fixes will show up in the next major patch. Thanks! (I also included one free bonus event)

Another update. This one includes a bunch of content and some quality of life updates!

Thanks again to everyone who keeps giving feedback, and for all the positive support. Next update will have more companion events, a continuation of Lucy's story (including a lot more conversation topics), and more fall content.

Alpha 1.0 Patch Notes

Added

-New Companion system. Hired NPCs have had their roles increased substantially.

• Each NPC tracks affinity and interest in more detail.
• Each NPC has an individual skill tree.
• Each NPC has unlockable passives with quality of life improvements.
• NPCs have a new event system that progresses their story. 

*Not all of the skills and events are implemented yet, but they are on the way. I've included notes in game when events / content are missing to reduce confusion.

-New NPC: Ellie. She'll show up after you meet Cienna.

-New Morning and Night Activities.

• Morning: Catalog the Tower with Ellie.
• Night: Meetings with Scout.

-Many new events. Of note, Companions will bring up Lucy's fracturing when they see it for the first time.

-New Loot category: stories. Right now there are patrol notes.

-Rolling Autosaves. You can now load a save from your 3 most recent days. This is the first step in expanding the games save / load functionality.

-Weapon enchantments - starting with 2, more coming soon.

• Power Draw -> Add 3 bonus dice when you attack in the first round of combat
• Keen Edge -> Add +2 damage to attacks. Stacks with upgrades.
