Hey everyone,

Long time no talk! It's been very busy on my end. Between working with Ludeon on RimWorld, getting a new puppy, and general life bull, I haven't had much time to work on Axu. The past few months have been full of me plucking away at various systems. I've finally finished enough to warrant a release!

I'm waiting on some package updates before I update the Linux version. It should come out shortly.

Changelog:

• Updated to Unity 2019.3.
• Implemented a Felony-specific progression system. Allows acquisition of abilities, traits and stat bonuses on a per-level basis.
• Added a quest to hire a doctor for your home base.
• Added equipment sets for NPCs that can be defined in JSON. Many humanlike NPCs have been given equipment sets.
• Added more item artwork.
• Added more edible items with various effects.
• Added new abilities.
• Some more tracks by Comemism!
• Incidents are much more moddable. They now can include custom maps, and toggle/check for progress flags.
• Object containers are more flexible and better defined in JSON.
• HP directly scales with Endurance.
• Slightly boosted HP values across the board.
• HP and ST are boosted per-level based on the player's Felony.
• Eating body parts trains slightly stats associated with the limb type.
• Characters without names now are preceded by "the" in combat messages. Eg: "You strike the Bat in the head."
• Moved lots of hard-coded text to Localization.json.
• Removed some unused localization keys.
• Replaced the "Forum" link main menu button with a "Discord" link button.
• General code improvements.
• Fix: Intrine limbs not properly attaching.
• Fix: Traits not properly being updated every turn.
• Fix: Throwing liquid containers won't break the item on impact.
• Fix: Restarting the game causes certain quests to show incorrect locations.
• Fix: Cannot cure diseases via doctors.

Remember, stay inside if you can. Be safe.

Cheers,

Matt (Cynapse)
