New Additions

45 animations for new and older events.
New school of magic with 4 spells.
Gallery.
Status bars that show predicted results from scouting actions.
Scouting reworked, each encounter now needs a set number of actions sped up by skill. Map difficulty contributes towards skill requirements instead of encounter levels.

Balance Changes

All encounter scouting requirements rebalanced.
Scouting skill power bonuses lowered for spells that hit multiple targets. (They became too strong now that scouting has a set amount)
Allies now reduce scouting costs by 1. (This is meant to make allies more relevant in harder maps and keep summoning spells competitive).
Encounters now have a minimum energy cost of 2.
Rebalanced stats of all allies created by spells and god powers.
Whispering Winds spell changed, it now hits two targets that have empty space between them. (Now that multiple targets are rewarded the spell felt a bit situational and weak).
Whispering Winds spell no longer gives Wayvy piety for empty tiles.
Gods now gain piety for scouting attempts rather than successes.

6 rival lair events.
8 search events with variations for Gwynn and Piper.
6 familiar sex events.

Balance Changes

Zuzu has weaker scouting assists, but can find extra items.
Slep, “Burning Wisdom” now refunds some piety after spells are charged.
Fluf, “Furry Friends” now summons 3 bunnies.
Changed mattock to grapnel. (There was too much overlap with what shovel did, and I wanted to add a tool specialized for collecting fruit.)
Trees will now give you branches as the default item. Palms still give you leaves.
Rebalanced item powers in various encounters.
Various map encounter set adjustments.

Other Changes

Gameplay Changes

Prisms charge from left to right instead of all at once. Spells require half of the previous number of charges. (This saves some trouble with being forced to use spells when they charge, and adds strategy to how you set up your prisms.)
Instead of giving bonus xp, scouting a rival gives a free xp level on the next map.
Various balance adjustments and encounter set changes in most maps.
Power of all scouting spells buffed.
“Heavenly Sight” slightly buffed.
“Land Twister” now halves the scouting cost of the central tile.

Developer Notes:

Development for this game will continue! I plan to continue working on this game through most of 2024. All updates will be made freely available after several weeks of early access for my subscribers.

Controls:

Left mouse button only.
Click on explored tiles to move around the map.
Select your actions in the bottom menu during map exploration. Contextual buttons will appear in the top right when interacting with spells, doors or merchants.

Hints:

There are two lewd events in this version, and the game has no official ending. You will usually have seen everything by the time you collect all 4 familiars.
Uncovering new land tiles recovers your motivation and gives you energy to work. Try to use all of your available energy and spells, don’t waste them.
Fully scouting an encounter will give you experience towards improving your skills and often an item. Clicking on an encounter that is not adjacent to you will attempt to move you there, but will never put you in a spot where you uncover new tiles. If the game refuses to move you, there probably isn’t a good spot available.
Items can be selected in the bottom menu. If red gems appear near an item while hovering over an encounter, the item can be used to improve your scouting power. The bonus is 50% per gem. Finishing certain encounters by using an item will sometimes give you a different reward.
Your companion will help you scout encounters for a 50% bonus, but only if there’s a free spot available.
Finishing an expedition will increase the level of your shop, giving you access to new spell prisms and maps.
The party will split up after the second time a rival is scouted leading to a lewd event in the next map if all tiles of the rival’s lair are revealed. Piper’s companion gets taken if adjacent to the rival, otherwise Piper is the one who gets taken.
Animals give high experience for the amount of work needed and offer coins if you use a tasty item to finish the task. Prioritize clearing the animals in each map.
