Sanguine Dream Version 0.22

Game can be played here: https://phimsomnium.itch.io/sanguine-dream

Hello, and welcome to my devblog about Sanguine Dream's 0.22 update! I appreciate your patience, but it's finally here, so lets dig into what the new update has to offer!~

Keep in mind that while the foundations of the saving system are still being adjusted, the game is not backwards compatible for older versions. If you play on an older save you will likely encounter bugs, I would recommend a new save for each major update like this one.

Additions for this update include:

• Encounter Art for Lone, Phim's mercenary retainer!
• Dialogue art for Lone!
• Dialogue art for Alikhan!
• Equipment mechanics have been set up, which means players will be able to equip themselves in gear that will boost stats to keep them from harm.
• Status effects have been set up in an extremely meaningful way, expanding on poison to include a number of debilitating effects. 
• Combining the equipment and the status effect systems introduces cursed items that may be introduced when appropriate in future updates!
• A new and improved tutorial system (This is unskippable so that players dont miss out on all the new content as well as stuff discussed below)
• Boss fights have been created, which allows events to play out during combat which are influenced by a whole host of factors.
• New and improved intro scenes
• Improved scenes for Rubim
• Boss fight included into Rubim side story content
• Leveling up system is put in place, but the actual content is bare bones while I do a bunch of other stuff, can be reached in the Player Camp Landmark

Content planned for future updates include: 

• Set up a scene in your private camp for dealing with Lust, as this isn't reset upon resting by design.
• Add Landmark content for the Kobold quarters and the throneRoom
• Add scene content for the Somnium Knights
• Add more event scenes to the  Alikhan Bad Ending
• Add special job tasks for the Maid Bad Ending
• Set up more job tasks for the player to grind money outside of combat encounters.
• Create portrait art for the Lion Merc, the Captain, Alikhan, Kobold Chief, and the Armourer
  
• Set up the Hamlet and it's landmarks/characters.
