#major update
I'm letting loose XPLOSIVE LOVE version 0.6!! It's been sitting around for over a month not getting worked on, so I cleaned it up to make sure I don't keep scope creeping it until it never gets done. All the things I wanted to add are in this except for some important dialogue I was slacking on which will probably be accessible in the future.
Note that this update does not work with 0.5.1 saves whatsoever. You will have to start over, but the process should be a lot smoother. It'll be worth it!
Here's a VERY SHORT VERSION of all the stuff that's new:
Among all this is a lot of little tweaks, improvements, and balance changes that make the game feel a lot better. I want the design to focus more on strategy, experimentation and active interaction, and a lot has been done to push it in this direction. The difference between everything in 0.5.1 and now is huger than you could probably guess, and it took a long time even while I was focused on it. I'm going to be a little bit busy this summer and probably won't work as hard on XL as I did before, but now that this is out I should be able to make incremental (lmao) improvements without making everyone start over. If you've been here before, thank you for being so patient...!
