Stuff Being Slowly Worked On

Here's the result of tinkering and toying with ultimately discarded ideas during the last month.

Renascent characters, including the player, will be subject to a very slight loss of experience level after each cycle to represent the world changing around them. They will still have it better in the long run than mundane units and monsters, which see their level reset after each cycle, but a character that has not been around for literally ages should now notice a significant decrease in skill unless they were never around and had 0 experience to begin with.

Player character peculiarities can now also store some more information including non-zero starting values. This will enable more varied types in the future, but so far it only impacts the one for biting your own fingernails, allowing these characters to actually start with nails to bite.

Other than that I've fleshed out the new phase/mood for 7 of the 32 renascent and added 2 new social contexts.


The next couple of weeks at least are going to remain busy with paperwork and regular work, but there is a good chance I'll have some more free time to invest in the game afterwards and be able to give you more exciting news than these.

I might even resume updating the "Working on" list afterwards so you can once again enjoy the thrills of watching arbitrary numbers go up.
