• Banners added for mission start/clear/fail states

• Added a new “Hard Mode” map to use upgraded units on. Note: This map hasn’t been extensively tested or balanced in any way.

• Dream sequence graphic has been updated.
• 0-3 modified slightly
• Various bug fixes

Other Stuff:

• Characters’ scale in-game is no longer dependent on their source image
• AI has been reworked to allow for more complex decision-making. This is important for future enemies, but the effects of this are very minimal, at the moment

Known issues:

• Game lags at the end of enemy turns. This is likely dependent on the number of units on the map.
• For unknown reasons, some players have the story cutscene freeze and are forced to skip it. I have not been able to figure out why yet.
• Assorted problems associated with Schrodinger’s vial toss.
• Enemies occasionally move in the wrong direction?
• It is entirely possible that KO’d units spitting up their prey may still cause the game to crash.
• Forgot to make the two extra wild lamias in 0-3 face the right direction.

Developer Notes:

Controls:

• Left Click: Confirm/Select
• Right Click: Cancel/Skip Battle
• WASD: Camera movement
• Q/E: Camera rotation
• ESC: Options menu
• X: Toggle enemy AI
• P: Open Debug menu (Sandbox mode only)

New Feature: Sandbox Mode

While in sandbox mode, right-click to enter free-camera, then press ‘P’ to open the debug menu.

Gameplay Overview:

• This is a Pre-Alpha, so many of the assets are still placeholder. This includes the enemies, so enemy dialogue may be somewhat strange!
• Despite the gacha theming, this will be a standalone single-player game with no micro-transactions.
• Units can be defeated by being eaten and digested (Over the course of several turns.) Digesting a unit will give the predator EXP and restore their Health and Energy.
• Each unit has a certain stomach capacity, and will lose speed and movement for each other unit they swallow. Units can swallow other units up to one above their capacity, at which point they will become immobilized.
• Units with a single prey in their stomach can still be eaten.
• Units will become easier to vore the lower their HP is. If a predator’s HP is reduced to 0, all units inside them will be freed and they will no longer be able to move or resist vore.
• In the lobby, you can set your favorite vessel to be your secretary. Secretaries have three different sets of lines depending on whether they are unfed, have swallowed the Commander, or have eaten other vessels.
• In typical gacha fashion, vessels can be upgraded by feeding them other vessels.
• There is currently no interaction between the lobby and battle scenes, though there will be eventually.
