Full release on 17th of November, 2023! <3

r32 Changelist:

• NEW Feature - Overworld Sailing - First pass of sailing added where you now sail between islands. All three islands are accessible by sailing and there is some loot around the sailing map, but no interactables yet. The map is blocked by darkness until more areas are added <3 The map shows common sailing routes by default, but it can be disabled in the options menu if wanted.
• NEW Feature - Logbook Crew Manager - Now you can recruit a full crew on The Unnamed (...well, okay, only a few dozens of crew) and can control who is in your landing party versus who are “inactive” (on ship).
• NEW Feature - Free camera - A drone (dragon?) camera usable in acts and in adventure mode. Also allows pausing the game while in free camera, so besides some other cool things, it also makes virtual photography easier and more fun.
• NEW Feature - Save system rework - Added automatic grouping of saves based on character, and added the ability to delete saves. Added back button to save menu. Saves now also include location and playtime information.
• NEW Feature - Context menu first pass - This means Dyes! All the dyes! So much dyes now! Even emissive dyes! Also a bunch of additional features for future passes <3 One book is also readable now as a test (good luck finding it tho!). One very loud object is also interactable now. This also allows you to destroy items.
• NEW Content - NPCs and decorations pass on Iskaai - 6 NPCs to meet, places to see, loot to find, etc, around the place. Including decoration pass for Herlstead. Note: No unique loot at least not yet.
