The Track to 1.1

I usually just put everything in the changelog on the game page, but I figure I will write up what my plans are for the 1.1 build here. Please be aware that spoilers to the game may exist here, but the game itself is like an hour and a half long. So it probably is no big deal. That said, it look a lot of bugfixes to get to where we're at with 1.0.13, so I'm finally able to work on newer content for 1.1.

There is some new content in 1.0.13, though, including goblins and resident exorcist Kiriha. Meeting Kiriha can grant you an item that will help keep you safe from the shadow slime creatures that roam the halls. As for goblins, be wary of them. Oh, and Hornet has additional dialogue.

For 1.1, here's what I'm working on:

• Intramap shortcuts: some sections contain parts that are not accessible on the current map, or they're just a pain to get to. A shortcut will be present on the map, which will require a skill test until you can find the appropriate item to bypass the test.
• Armor damage: You might notice that sometimes a value gets added to your grit when you're defending, instead of being subtracted. Or maybe the "Health degraded" toaster appears. Even with introspection, the player has no visual aid on what happened or how it affects them. I plan to add a visual indication for this.
• Additional Armor Types: the armor the player has currently is only good against slashing-type damage. I plan to include other armors for blunt and pierce. This one will be a bit longer of a stretch goal, so only one armor is likely to be added for 1.1, but I'm hoping that the armor damage system I'll set up should be the foundation for other armor additions.
• Side Stories: Completely irrelevant interactions with other NPCs should serve to pad interesting things into the game.

Anyway, that concludes what I want to add for 1.1. This might introduce more bugs, but it shouldn't be as bad as what Setceck did during release. After 1.1, we'll probably move into postmortem phase, and I'll work on something new.
