0.5.0.0
Additions:
- Added a small visual indication for reputation and guild rating changes hourly.

- Order reputation has been greatly reduced, but the decay has been greatly reduced as well.

- Tweaked the scale for experience gained when enemies are over or underlevelled.

0.5.7.0
Additions:

Balance:
- Tired heroes will now take the wrong path in dungeon raids more often.
- Heroes now dislike working overtime even more.
- Changed how hero "breaks" work.
- Hero mood is no longer impacted as hard when woken up on shift.
- The key position in raids is now more random.

- Tweaked the "Get The Ball Rolling" popup a little bit.
- Alert messages for reputation and guide unlocks will no longer appear on file load.
- Tweaked some of the popups to improve visuals and functionalities.
Bug Fixes:
- Oopsies, the game was playing slightly too slow in some cases.
- Fixed some more colour related issues.
- Equipping items through the hero info popup no longer duplicates the item.
- Popups are no longer drawn above alerts during holidays.
0.5.6.0
Additions:
- Tweaked a couple more visual things.
- Switched to a new font that should be more readable.
- Added a localization option to the initial setup.
Other Changes:
- Changed up the guild hall tutorial very slightly.
- Reworked how a lot of the hovers look visually so the text doesn't clip.
Balance:
- The merchant can now sell trusty pickaxes and compasses.
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed an issue where changing the localization would not remember and save.
0.5.5.0
Additions:
- Added a recipe to combine Gold/Silver dust into Gold/Silver clumps.
- Slowed the game's timestep down again. I found the game was still pretty overwhelming and too fast to keep up with later on. (Around 25% slower compared to the 12% slower it was before, or an extra 12% drop in speed.)
- Added a whole bunch of hero thought bubbles corresponding to different actions in the game.
Other Changes:
- Added some missing localization strings.
- The current highest priority popup is now drawn over the holiday message.
- Ventura will now appear in the corner of the screen less frequently.
- You can no longer receive advice to upgrade your workshop and gymnasium if you don't even have one.
- You'll no longer receive advice to unlock skills before level 11.
- The commodity bar at the bottom now also includes silver bars.
- Tweaked how variable time works slightly.
Balance:
- Rebalanced enemy HP scaling. (5.4% more at level 1, 15.9% less at level 2, and 44.9% less at level 3.) It was a pretty bad brick wall at level 3 before, the game isn't particularly balanced after this point.
- Heroes will be less likely to need a rest after raiding, now.
- Further reduced the drop rate of slime, webs and sand.
- Dramatically reduced the experience bonus received from the Literature Day holiday.
- Increased the amount of damage the "shock" status deals.
- Raid teams are now significantly less likely to move to unvisited tiles when fleeing from raids.
- Rebalanced a lot of the happiness restoration and loss systems in a game to make it way less forgiving than it is right now.
Bug Fixes:
- Some saved variables were not being saved.
- Fixed a problem caused by projects being late.
- Loaded games no longer progress time way too slow until the time is changed.
- Weak web bombs no longer require the highest level web to make.
- Equipping an item after an item is deleted no longer duplicates the item.
- Fixed some colour related issues.
- Fixed an incorrect Magic Potion recipe.
- The hover to move furniture now actually says the one that will be moved.
- Services were quickly becoming useless as the invisible "energy" they had to do their tasks were not regenerating.
- Campaigns were impossible to complete as the date being compared against was wrong.
0.5.4.0
Additions:
- Added a visual indicator for overlapping projects when starting a new one. (Gathering and training projects are always scheduled for 4 hours, raiding projects try to go for 4 hours, but may overlap.)
- New item: Sand Trap, the sand equivalent of the web bomb. When used, the enemies accuracy will be lowered based on the tier of the bomb.
Other Changes:
- Tweaked the tutorial again.
Balance:
- Heroes will no longer request a vacation if there is a tournament upcoming.
- Added an accuracy parameter to enemy attacks, some enemies are now less accurate, and some are more accurate.
- Raids/Gathering/Training autostarts will no longer start if a project is late and still set to start. (Was only happening in rare edge cases, but still happened.)
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed an odditiy with the new time of day background introduced last patch.
- Loaded files that have completed the "Get The Ball Rolling" popup will no longer get another egg every time they load a file.
- Hero stats were not being impacted when starting raid projects and now are.
- Fixed some visual issues with the project list.
- Time during the tutorial was running slower than it should have been been running.
0.5.3.0
Additions:
- Some of the visuals have been overhauled again, to make things contrast and stand out more.
- All of the colour themes have been changed again, they were all relatively faded out which wasn't great for visibility and contrast.
- Added a quick indicator for the time of day on the desktop.
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed the variable speed icon not going away if changed.
- Fixed variable speed running at half speed when switched to.
0.5.2.0
Addition:
- Added some extra tips to the advice popup after the "Get The Ball Rolling" section is finished.
- Added level 2 and level 3 web bombs.
Other Changes:
- Firing a service from the guild will now only take them out of the guild at the end of the day.
- It is no longer possible to unlock guild services before day 3. (This is more of a failsafe as it was extraordinarily unlikely to happen anyways.)
Balance:
- Barrel Bombs now do consistent damage. (They used to damage based on the hero's health, the slime bomb now does that instead.)
- Silk Rolls and Glass now require two of the equivalent item to craft. Sand and webs are now harder to get to compensate.
- Tiny slimes will now drop less slime.
Bug Fixes:
- A couple stores that used to have requirements to show up in the guild were showing up all the time due to a debug command that was accidentally left in.
- Fixed an issue where closing off the advice popup would cause a softlock.
- Services will now correctly cost money to hire into the guide.
0.5.1.0
Additions:
- The game's timescale is now a little slower, around ~12%. I found the game was a bit too fast and chaotic, and this should help that.
- Added one more thing to the "Get The Ball Rolling" tip.
- Added a visual indicator for when time is being sped up during variable speed.
- Added another tip for full armour sets.
Other Changes:
- Changed some visuals for angry and sick heroes.
- Tweaked the tutorial a bit.
- Variable time will no longer speed up if the hero is gathering or training.
Balance:
- The recruitment, services and bank will now open at 6am and close at 8pm.
- Project raid maps are now bigger.
- The Guide now caries a lot more money to buy stuff.
Bug Fixes:
- A system for heroes to intentionally oversleep wasn't being calculated properly. (At a certain point, it'd always go off, and would never go off before then.)
- Ruby Gemstones are no longer classified under the $PWDR commodity group.
- Fixed an issue related to duplicate entries in the crafting system.
- Fixed the clickboxes for furniture.
- You can no longer select and drag furniture while not on the furniture tab.
- Fixed door and window stat calculations.
- Fixed some hover issues.
- Fixed finished projects still showing up on the schedule occasionally.
- Fixed the rooms saying they have far more merchants in them than they really do.
