Alpha 2.11
This build includes the brand new patrol system, and comes with a lot of content centered around that system. There are 5 new points of interest to visit and explore, some new NPCs, new events and reworked balance.
This update really effects the core progression of the game, so I really do recommend starting a new save to check it out. It might still work fine with a late game save, but not a lot of testing was done with anything past the first winter.
There will be a lot more added to this system in the next few updates, including the ability to post bounties so that adventurers can help you clear out monsters in the forest. There will also be a variety of night events and points of interest for scout to explore.
Because this new system changes a lot, I'm expecting there to be bugs I didn't catch in my playtesting. Please let me know what breaks, and I'll get it fixed as soon as I'm able.
Thanks again for checking out our game! I hope everyone enjoys.
