Real time
The most obvious change is going to be is the game running in a semi real time fashion. No longer do you just teleport around the map, you see yourself moving around it. Being in scenes, doing jobs, being asleep, these all happen as you watch the time tick away. The main thinking is not only is it more visually interesting, but now interrupts can be more dynamic.

“You watch yourself walk down the street, your stats slowly tick down, you pass out, now someone comes up and loots your sleeping body, then a loud bang wakes you up much earlier than planned, but all the relevant stats have changed up to that point.”

Now it's playable, most systems work with it. Some events still use the old system of time travel. The UI and timings need some tweaking. There are some issues where something fires before something finishes, but these should be ironed out in the next week or so.   

Happiness
The idea around happiness is its a mechanic that lets you roleplay a character better. When it is low you won't be able to do things that might be considered a chore, going to work, having to go for a run etc.
There will be many expensive ways to boost it up, say having a drink, but in the future it will be easiest to boost by doing things your character will want to do. As a masochist, inflicting pain will boost it, as a monster lover, fucking beasts will increase it, while fucking humans might have the opposite effect.

Debug room
There is now a debug room that allows you to spawn in fights, get money, and modify your character. To access it go to the second floor of the abyssal alliance, and click on the fallen down tree in the top left of the map.

New enemy - Slime
What's a fantasy game without slime! with the latest hotfix, it now comes with its own dialogue while fucking, as well as the ability to dissolve any clothing you have on.

Other stuff 
We got a credits screen, saving online “should” work a lot better and keep progress between versions. The only exception will be if there's a major update which forces a clean save. On the players screen you can set what sprites you want to use.

What's next?
I want to add more enemies and add in ways that make them feel unique, the slime for example with a dissolving effect.
There will be a new noble house that gives a different route to starting quest lines. Higher risk for a greater reward.
Sandbox settings have been something I work on in the background, this will let you tweak pretty much all the modifiers, want to deal with hunger but at a slower rate, done! Only want females in the world, alright! These however will be permanent to that particular save. With that I will be looking into multiple saves.

Signing off!
