Homefront Bound v0.1.30 Alpha

Important Announcement Regarding the Online Version

I need to share an important change regarding how the online version is accessed. Starting from this update(v0.1.22 Alpha, now online for patrons), the online version will be available exclusively to Pathfinder tier supporters and above.

This was a really tough decision, and I want to be completely transparent about why I'm making it. The game's hosting service has a strict bandwidth limit. When the online version was public, this limit was being reached very quickly, making it unsustainable. If I had the financial means, I would absolutely love to keep it public for everyone, but at this time, it’s just not feasible. I hope you can understand.

**The poll to decide the focus of the next update (v0.1.31) is currently active on Patreon.

• UI Updates: I’ve reworked the UI code for all characters to support these new mechanics and provide a cleaner look.

• Rebalanced Thresholds: The stat requirements (Corruption/Relationship) to unlock certain actions have been adjusted. You’ll need to work a bit smarter to unlock the spicy content now!
