Version 0.7.1029 - Rest, Inventory improvements and... Bondage?!

While this version was thoroughly tested and is playable enough without any significant issues, it contains some work-in-progress things and therefore it’s unstable. However, (instead of working on the main feature - refactor of actions) I’ve added several so interesting gameplay mechanics, that I feel obliged to share the preview with you :D

The main change in the current version is reworking of saving actions, now most of the actions are already saved and loaded properly from savegame. This feature is not yet stable and you may occasionally see some errors in the log, they are informative and do not cause any problems.

Next, have you ever wondered how the girl does all the acrobatic tricks literally wrapped in a piece of cloth? Yeah, now some items have a chance to slip off during heavy action (such as receiving damage or performing a dash roll).

Now, the heroine was getting tired with all the heavy action happening around and recovery of maximum value of the stats was taking way too long. New mechanics of resting (accessible thorugh pause menu) now allows to speed up time 100 times to quickly recover stats. However, this is dangerous, as monsters keep spawning around the map. You need to find a safe nook to hide inside.

And now, for the main dish! A new enemy - Yellow Slime - can now tie the unfortunate heroine up adding a lot of fun and spice to combat. When landing a successful attack against the player character, the monster picks a random inventory slot. If it’s empty - ties it up with a rope. If there is an item in the inventory slot, the item takes heavy damage with a chance to prevent the character from getting tied up. Sometimes the slime can decide to tighten already-present binds, making them even harder to wriggle out of.

Obviously, no items can be equipped into a restrained slot, unless the heroine struggles out of bounds. Struggling takes an enormous amount of vigor and usually giving up a few times before finally breaking free.

Bound top slots decrease player character’s damage by 10% each. Additionally, bound hands decrease damage by 15%. The total damage reduction can go as high as 31% if all three upper slots are bound.

Bound bottom slots decrease the heroine’s movement speed by 10% each. Additionally 15% for bound feet. With a total 31% for all three slots bound. But there is a worse problem - if feet and any of the bottom slots are entangled, the heroine can no longer perform an evasion roll, which may create a lot of problems in combat.

And when the character is completely tied up nice and tight, you know what happens…

Regular changelog:
