Version 0.1.0.1

Date: Mon, March 9, 2020

Definite Inclusion

 * Dungeon Functions
 * Doors, once opened, stay open.
 * Removing HP Loss from the Riddle, answering a majority of the questions correctly will get you the key, while answering all of them will get you the treasure map.
 * Adding NPCs to help direct you more closely through the first two levels of the dungeon.
 * UI and Visual Updates
 * Make it so that all interactable items will highlight like doors and npcs in Cloverton do.
 * Keystone Ley Acumen Crystals will be tracked separately from the Charged Ley Crystals and reduced in number when you use them.
 * More obvious presentation for the "waterfall entrance"
 * Highlighting the Chest behind the Mine Boss once it has been defeated.
 * Combat
 * Adjusting Speed Formula so it is not such a god-stat.
 * Making it so that all NPC character special mechanic buffs transfer between combat.
 * Axe/Hammer Switch change for Yonten to be a free once per turn action.
 * Changing all Fights so that no more than 1 Stalker Cat (the thin speedy one) will appear at a time, unless there are only stalkers (or munchkins) in the fight
 * Massively decoupling the questing system from the time and date system, so that everything will run independently of each other, allowing you to take as much time as you like at each stage of the tutorial.
 * Including a few more hand holding tutorials like how the breeding mechanics work, possibly with a short dialogue with your monsters.
 * Market Day and meeting the Miners to fix up your farm will happen independently of one another, with Market Day still marking the point when the energy system gets turned on.
 * Removing the Arbitrary “Fall Asleep at 3:00am and wake up at 7:00am” system and replacing it with the following:
 * The player can stay up for as long as they like. Shops and Systems still roll over for the day at 3:00am.
 * Going to bed has you wake up at the next 7:00am period, with all of your health and energy restored, for both you and your monster, regardless of how long that stands.
 * More info on what we have planned for this in the next section.
 * Change Completion Times for Various Activities
 * Breeding will only take 1 hour.
 * Reduce Time for Cooking to 2 Minutes per Ingredient
 * Trip to Katarina Station changed to 1 hour each way.
 * NPCs
 * Add more shop keepers to Katarina Station, and make sure they sell healing items.
 * Bugs & Technical Issues
 * Working on resolving various bug reports that have been filed.
