Howdy all,

Just a quick addition to update #15.

• Fixed up some bad wording in the tutorial.
  
• Fixed up a bug that would notifiy you that an employee had bought a business and then quit their job when you bought a new business.
  
• The AI will now light fire pits correctly again, thus using up firewood.
  
• You can now set your player to work at one of your businesses by right clicking on it and selecting "Do Work". This saves a bit of time if you swing your player between businesses and productions often.
  
• You can now manually restock the sheltered fire spots with firewood.
  
• Dogs should no longer follow your family members around, instead they will stay where you tell them to stay.
  
• Made an adjustment to burn rates of firewood in fire pits. They now burn a little slower.

Sorry about two updates in two days, but I wanted to get this stuff out.

Cheers,
Stardog.

Howdy all,

Update #15 is ready to go. Nothing huge, but we're getting there.

New things and changed things

• Added additional detail to some notifications.
  
• Marriage acceptance has been further enhanced to take into account more aspects of the player's life and situation.
  
• Starting a new game will now produce a much better balance of young and old people. No longer will you be stuck with lots of old folks.
  
• A few changes to the coat system, the AI should now be smarter about wearing them.
  
• You can now choose to purchase a building without any employees.
  
• You may notice an influx of new families when you load a saved game. This is the result of a few systems working better.
  
• Slight optimisations to saving and loading.
  
• More new props added.
  
• Testing the waters with a couple new UI designs. Still a lot of placeholder UI, and even some of the new UI is still placeholder.

Fixed things

• Fixed a bug that could result in extra items if you were working in your business when the shift ended.
  
• Fixed a bug that would cause characters to reset if you followed them.
  
• Carts should no longer be stranded for days out in the forest after a waylay.
  
• A lot of bug fixes for the family tree. Kids from new marriages, previous marriages, and grown up kids, they should all display properly now.
  
• Animal data should now load correctly, which means your dog's name will now stay the same.
  
• Fixes to some incorrect price data for the meat produced from small carcasses.
  
• A bunch of other small bug fixes.

That's all for now folks.

Cheers,
Stardog.

Hey folks,

Just a quick patch to fix the caravans that stopped working in update 14. Not much else really.

Howdy,

I prefer to deliver juicy well-rounded updates, but I also try my best to keep on top of any major bugs that show up, so in some instances I feel I need to release a smaller update to address any issues that do crop up.

This is one of those cases.

• Fixed a major bug that could render your saved game unplayable in some cases.
  
• Fixed a bug that would cause years to not calculate correctly and appear to stop progressing all together. Note - if you play a saved game that encountered this bug you may need to wait up to 4 seasons before this fix will work.
  
• Added a slight chance for being able to survive the plague.
  
• Various other small fixes and tweaks.

Also, I have started on the new map and have the basic terrain all done. I'm now adding in all the villages and extra content that comes with this new map. It is by far the biggest and most advanced yet and has a lot of room for exploration as well as facilities for new content that the other maps do not. So expect great new content to come out at the same time as the new map. This also means that when this new map is done I will set about completely remaking the older maps to bring them up to scratch.

I look forward to sharing more information with you a bit later on.

I have been known to post some interesting updates and thoughts to the SÆLIG Discord server, so feel free to check that out too.

Howdy,

I hope all is well. I have released another update, listed below are the changes.

The good bits

• The supervising system has been changed. It no longer will apply straight away, but instead you must leave your character there for a while before it is applied. The time it takes to apply is calculated based on your day length. You will get a notification when it is done.
  
• More time based things are now calculated properly for day length. So you may notice some things take more or less time, depending on your day length.
  
• Changed the UI a bit for inventory icons. There is now a B and a S on each item. B = price at which things are purchased, S = price at which things are sold.
  
• Tweaked the health system quite a bit and it is now better calculated based on day length.
  
• Fixed several small programming errors that may or may not cause small issues.
  
• Fixed a bug that could result in a duplication of your family if a very specific set of things happened.
  
• Fixed a bug that was stopping the AI controlled Alehouses from producing food.
  
• Quite a few tweaks made in an attempt to fix an issue with time not progressing. Unsure if fixed, do not have enough data on the problem to say for sure.
  
• Other minor bugs have also been fixed.

Known Issues

• When manipluating time you may notice that the speed up key does not work when the game is paused. This can be solved by *holding* the speed up key for a couple seconds instead of tapping it.

I think that is about all I've got for you today.

Stardog.
