Wayfarer 1.0.7. Flotsam Grove/Marshwall Update

Hi friends,

The alpha build has been updated! We are now on version 1.0.7. There is still one more update to go before Chapter 1 is complete, but we are nearing the finale!

What It Includes

• 64,000 words of new content (which brings the total game’s word count to a whopping 364,000)
• Three endgame branches, including different scenarios for your MC and Aeran depending on whether they go to Flotsam Grove, Marshwall or return directly to the Count
• Find the chalice and decide what to do with it (or don’t)
• Discover a creepy house (or don’t)
• Make some very difficult decisions
• Added a codex entry on the Marcian Conspiracy (more codex entries are WIP)
• General bug and typo fixes
• Patched an issue with fonts not rendering correctly on Firefox. The Google Font import is a little different, so you’ll find that the italics and bolds on some of the fonts are slightly different than they were before
• Fixed some errors with consumable items
• Fixed some background variable issues
• Added a tutorial on the Poison status effect and added it to the StoryInit variables
• Changed all external links so they open in a new tab instead of in the same tab as the game. Hopefully this should fix the issue with the links not being able to load properly when leaving from an itch.io game. May still be an issue on mobile.
• Browser save slots have been decreased to 5. This is to help with issues with the local storage and the game exceeding your browser's cache size and not being able to continue. You may need to clear your browser history for the correct number of save slots to show up (or delete the excess saves if you have more than 5!)

You will need to start a new file in order to properly play this update.

Ongoing Issues to Be Fixed

• Some maps are not interactive
• Some maps are pixelated
• There is a special effects glitch in one moment when the MC briefly blacks out, but the passage should proceed as normal, it might just look funky

Where to Play

Bugs and Errors

As always for alpha build updates, this content is very fresh and hasn’t been thoroughly playtested. The regular bug report form is currently down, but if you notice any bugs and would like to report them, feel free to drop them in the bug report channel on the Discord server. (But please don't feel obligated to!)

Bugs won’t be updated very quickly as I have to compile files and create a new master file every time I update, but I hope to fix issues as I continue to build the chapter.

Thank you! We’re so close to the end now! 💜
