Build 11.12.22 release notes

Hi everyone,

Finally a new build is out today! With big changes around the engine's character system, a new autosave feature, new CGs and some bug fixes and UI improvements.

Also, today I've migrated the game out of Heroku, it will now be hosted in Render.com

If you're a Patron you can find the new URL in the pinned post.

The Heroku URL will continue to work until the 28th of this month, after that it will be gone forever.

Here's the full release items list:

CHARACTERS SYSTEM

+Big refactor of character generation and avatar configuration.

+Avatar assets/configurations are now external to the game which makes easier to update or add new characters/character resources.

+Added 4 new facial expressions for Neruko.

ENGINE

+Added new GameCache service to dedicate it to cache/pre-load assets.

+Improvements to the game engine.

+Added ability to load predefined procedural maps.

GAMEPLAY

BUG FIXES

+Fixed a security bug where logging out wasn't completely clearing the user's session.

+Fixed a bug on dugeons where doors that were setup to unlock by events would always be unlocked.

+Fixed a bug when removing a face/hat accessory it would increase the player's arousal.

OTHER

+Disabled halloween theme.

Unfortunately this release has breaking changes hence you will have to start a new game.

Sorry for inconveniences and the delay, there was a lot of changes in the game engine plus some personal issues I had to take care of. 

I hope you enjoy this new build and as always, feedback is greatly appreciated!

Have a great weekend!
