Hey everyone,

I hope you're all doing well! It's time for a quick update on the latest developments.

• Run your very own shop and attract customers to sell your crafted items. You set the price, but beware: there's a supply and demand system in place. While it's easy to spread your shop's influence and gain fame, it can also drop quickly if your customers are unhappy.
  
• Find new furnitures and customize your shop to your heart's content.
  
• Upgrade your shop to unlock more space. More space means more profit — yay!
  
• Keep an eye out for furniture imbued with mystic energy. These magical items can boost your customers' satisfaction, make them more generous with their wallets, or even deter would-be thieves!

• Get ready for some friendly competition; Competitive stores will challenge you to become the best in the region. Can you rise to the top and make the most profit from your crafted items?
  
• Brace yourselves for random events that shake up the supply and demand system, affect competitive stores, and even sway the attitudes of your customers. Adaptability is key to success!
  
• Participate in mini-competitions and launch shop advertisements to attract more customers and increase your revenue.

I know it's been a while since the last update, and for that, I sincerely apologize. 🙏
Developing the game solo while juggling work has presented its challenges, and progress on the new big update has been slower than expected. I ask for your continued patience as I work tirelessly to bring you the best possible gaming experience I can create.

Your unwavering support and dedication mean the world to me, and I can't thank you enough for playing my game and eagerly awaiting updates. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. ♥

Fixed:

The need-secret-tunnel test was not properly handling areas that contained open exits (no door).

The code to limit the adventurer's defense to 5 was yielding an incorrect result.

The Dragon Armour area 5 persistent attribute to ignore darkness was missing.

Corrected three Dragon Armour paragraphs that were transitioning to paragraph 70 without a prompt to read paragraph 70.

When some Dragon Armour paragraphs were causing damage outside of combat, the damage was not being reduced by any armour worn at the location.

Within Dragon Armour, if the entrance to another area is blocked by a door that is not successfully opened, the area will not be entered or drawn, but the door will be drawn. These "phantom" areas cannot be edited at this time.
