Hello everyone! Sorry for the long wait, I know it's been a while since I even touched Steam as a developer. >_>

After over half a year of working on it, we've finally finished working on Build 19 of No More Future! It'll be available on Steam come next Friday, if all goes well.

The new build includes a new Main Story Chapter, reworks to the early section of Chapter 6 (and a few tweaks to Chapter 11), and tons of new content such as new character art assets, new music, and a new background, which I attached to this Devlog to give you an idea of where we might be headed! This is definitely the biggest update we released so far: the script for Chapter 14 is the longest in our files by far, and that's not even counting all the extra work we did on the other chapters. I can only hope all this waiting will be worth it, and that you'll enjoy the new update once it's out to the public.

This is also the first build made with the help of Devilizer, whose help has been invaluable with streamlining the writing, general proofreading, and even contributing to write certain sections that I would've struggled with on my own. Do be sure to check out his work on other titles on... other sites, if you haven't already (and are of age)!

I apologize if the prolonged silence made some of you believe the project was dead or on hiatus: we never really stopped working on this new update, although we did have to take breaks every so often to worry about other matters in our lives, whether it be Uni exams for me, or contributing to other VNs for some of my colleagues. In the end, I thought it'd be in poor taste to release updates along the way just to remind people we're still hard at work on the project, and only gave sporadic updates on our progress on our Discord, which has by now become our primary means of interacting with the community. If you wish to be updated more often on the status of this VN, do consider joining it if you haven't already! Either way, we have no intention of taking hiatuses from the project, or canning it altogether. Should the situation ever change for the worst, we'll be sure to warn everyone, including our audience here on Steam and on other sites.

I hope you'll enjoy the new update, once it's available to the public! I'll see you in a week.

⚔️ Onward, Soldier. The magic calls.

Tier 5 Gear
The day has arrived! Tier 5 Armor, Weapons, Books and Rings can be crafted inside the Temple of Lost Souls! This time round you'll be able to craft your weapons with the armor crafter and don't forget to get your One-Handed weapons as well.

Left Hook Rework and Rank 4
Strength needed a little bit of love in the skill department. Yes, I see you're all still using Vampiric Blade... Sooooo a rework to Left Hooks energy cost, damage values and cast time was needed. This skill will be doing more damage than Vampiric Blade without the healing aspect. Making it a better skill for Boss DPS and high HP mob grinding.

Dino's Patch Notes
- Added T5 Armor and Weapon Crafters to ToLS
- Added T5 Book Crafter to ToLS
- Added T5 Ring Crafter to ToLS
- Updated T5 set bonuses
- All Crab Mobs now give Crab Crusaders
- Testing pets
- Reworked Left Hook Rank 1, 2 and 3
- Added Left Hook Rank 4 to DM
- Updated a bunch of weapons to the correct weapon type (Spear, Mace and One-Handed Hammer)

• Pet skill handling added server side.

• Pet buff slot added client side.

• Cleaned up some thrown errors that were going against our https://sentry.io quota.

• Added BUY/SELL tabs to the shop window. This allows for selling on mobile! (Buy tab is auto selected on open so people don't get confused)

• Escape key now clears the selected player/enemy along with closing windows.

• Pets cannot be cast on others.

• Added pet skill handling code to distribute the skill def to others.

• Added double click to dismiss pet.

• Added code for spawning and disposing pet sprites.

• Added code to only show the buy/sell tabs on shops if the main drag drop containter is not visible.

• Started writing my own barebones minimal very fast Vector library in Typescript to slowly replace BabylonJS Vector classes.

• Changes achievements window Quests tab to Pets. Quest achievements will come later.

• Fixed a crash in iOS build.

• Updated iOS and Android to latest Expo/React Native.

• Increased level cap to 91.

Fixed a bug where in the old save, the tavern level 13, the merchant received a quest for a coachman, and it is not possible to take another quest from the merchant.

• Hotbar UI has been added to the game!

• Controls have been reset to default due to critical changes.
  
• Press I to open Inventory.

• Weapons has tabs for primary and sidearm.

This update shouldn't break saves, though to pick up the color changes you'll need to start a new game.

This small hotfix for Starground addresses a few issues with research, and the movespeed command not working. This also introduces a change to how worlds are loaded and generated, allowing for more flexibility with modding.

• Changed world loading to loop through each region separately (good for modding)

• Fixed an issue where researched buildings were not visible in the building menu

• Fixed an issue where the movespeed command was not functional
