Release: Preview 2 - Textbook Love


Broad overview: Many more items can now be studied, granting notes on magic. Groups of notes, when studied, become tomes of knowledge, which can then be sold or studied. You can study some crafted items to learn their recipes.

Air arcana update: 10 spells finished so far. Trying to get at least 24, like the other arcana, before release.

Studying

  • Studying no longer advances time in all cases, instead only for certain items (mainly tomes of knowledge), which is noted on the item when trying to study them.
  • Many more items can now be studied, and grant notes based on the arcana they're related to.
  • Notes now no longer give secrets/mystic insights when studied, instead becoming tomes of knowledge. The amount of notes required to study has been increased, and the monetary value of notes and tomes has been decreased.
  • You can study some crafted items to learn their recipe.
    • Some alchemical items will require the "Alchemical Analysis" skill, which is now taught by the alchemy store, or can be acquired through a Perk.
  • Wands and scrolls can now be studied, granting secrets based on the level of the spell they contain.


Spells

  • Self-immolation now has an upgrade that makes you immune to damage from being on fire.
  • You're now marked as a potential target for False Death/False life.


Content

  • Can now take items from the stash using the right-click menu.


Bug Fixes

  • Can no longer "drop" items already in the stash from the right-click menu. This was resulting in the first reported item duplication bug, fun!
  • Coffins' items would sometimes be populated more than once, resulting in way too much treasure in them (if anyone sees this reoccur please let me know!).

  • Vampire prisoners should no longer get scared of and try and run away from each other.
  • Error in Caretaker/Griever dialog.
  • Trying to sell multiple of a stacked item was resulting in only selling one of that item.
  • Overflow error that could occur when selling stacked items.
  • Error when ending summoning spirits spell in certain circumstances.
  • Vampire prisoners leaving behind phantom versions of themselves when they escape.
  • Button positions are now cleared properly when entering a new store (could sometimes result in the buttons taking you to the wrong section of the store).
  • When moving along a clicked path with a door in the middle, you previously opened the door then teleported to the other side on the next turn. Now, you move into the door properly.
