Anamnesis 131025 Released

Previous savegames are not compatible.

Sorry for the delay. Not only for the long term one caused by my change of heart midway through the outcast mode workings, but also because of some issues these last few days that delayed the release a couple of days.

As always, please report any bugs or unusual game behaviour you encounter. There shouldn't be any game-breaking bugs though, or at least I hope there aren't, because it's late and I'll spend the next few hours sleeping instead of bugfixing.

I'll now spend the following day waiting for serious bug reports. If none arises, I'll either resume some light development while waiting for minor bugs or take a couple of days for rest. Then I'll move on to serious development and a revision of the "Development Goals" page.

The download links to your right have been updated. I don't know what else to say that hasn't been already said during the development these last months, so I'll let the changelog do the rest of the talking for me.

I hope you enjoy the release.

Edit: So, it looks like I left some dev stuff in the game folder.... that's late night compiling for you! If you were fast enough to download that release during the 30 minutes it stayed uploaded, you'll see a silly note and a traceback in the game's main folder, but you don't have to download the game again for now.

Bugfix1 Released: Just a little fix for an unlike bug on a lobby and a silly typo. I think I'm going to start adding new content tomorrow unless there is some sort of catastrophic bug report during the next hours.

Bugfix2 Released: This one fixes sold units that didn't disappear, a couple of crashes and other small things.

Bugfix3 Released: A few minor bugs were fixed and some persisting old afflictions were removed. Lobbies shouldn't be able to duplicate themselves anymore either.

Change Log:

• Players can now start as or become outcasts during the course of the game. Forcing them to wander the different territories while persecuted and exposed to greater dangers.
• Every territory has new dangers for outcasts and 2 new encounters for all players in addition to their 10 old ones.
• Each territory has an ability, trade or skill that the player can learn while visiting and employ in the future either at home or while visiting other territories. Players will be able to do anything from conjuration rituals to experimenting on corpses, prophesying the end of the world or drawing action comics.
• Seafaring skill has been changed into Ferrying. Representing each unit's capacity to carry goods and individuals overseas rather than the unit's seaworthiness.
• Added maritime trade. You can now buy trade licenses and use units with Ferrying value to engage in overseas trade. Local Tendencies and other fronts' variables influence your profits.
• Preliminary oversea fronts are now realized and visible in the "Colony" screen.
• Explorer players have been changed into Merchant Venturers. They start with "a battered freighter" and a Ferrying value of 35, allowing them to engage in maritime trade right away.
• You can now export units that you manufacture and train. The return will depend on the unit's Size, it's Experience and other oversea fronts' values.
• Instant afflictions have been replaced with an expanded Weariness system. You won't lose stats automatically anymore, instead your character will have to have over 100 Weariness before afflictions can take place.
• Certain actions can now lower your Weariness and the Local Tension while visiting territories or staying home.
• Renascents will rarely become unavailable when staying at home, providing more flavour.
• "Hanging around" with a renascent is not completely useless anymore. It will lower your Weariness depending on how generally nice the renascent in question is.
• When losing at the Shelter/Refuge, you will be kicked into outcast mode instead of automatically losing the game.
• Lovers will now miss you while you are outcast. This will show you different flavour messages but will bear no real effect.
• 4 new lobbies were added to the game.
•  Lots of important bugfixes and minor tweaks.
