V0.62 - Deterministic Companions

Patreon LINK.

Patch is finally here! I redesigned the "map" progression system and got rid of the random companion recruitment in place of something better.  As you progress and unlock new maps, you will meet recruit-able companions in the process.

A lot of things got changed at once, and there is a non-zero chance that this patch wouldn't play nicely with older saves. If a problem arise (and you are using an older save), I encourage you to try it with a fresh save. Yes, you will lose all the progress in doing so and yes it sucks, but trying to maintain a lot of "legacy" stuff is very time consuming especially now that certain things are done quite differently than how they are implemented in this past. For this reason, a save-incompatible patch is coming up in the near future.

If you did a lot of work on the Tent area and wish to keep it, there is a mod that does this:  https://www.reddit.com/r/enlit3dGames/comments/ct5u4x/players_camp_tent_area_mod/ .

Here is another mod, the Deep Cave mod which is a new map filled with lots and lots of goblins: https://www.reddit.com/r/enlit3dGames/comments/cs0gpm/new_dungeon_goblin_lair_deep_cave/
