Version 0.1 "Duct-Tape"

While I’m still preparing the definitive ‘Post-Jam’ update of Suspicion, I went ahead and fixed some of the issues that were more ‘critical’.

Huge thanks to those who reported their issues! If you find anymore, I’d be grateful to hear them!

Here are some of the resolved issues in this patch:

Fixed:

• Gathering has been fixed for all time slots.
• Gathering button is now properly disabled on interior maps.
• Some faulty exit events have been fixed.
• Random Event trigger formula fixed. Now, they’ll be pretty much disabled at game start, and will become more common as your Suspicion rises.
• Random Event penalties fixed. Some faulty chain caused it to always be set to “harshest”. Now, they’ll be pretty low and will become harder as Suspicion grows.
• Hopefully, the ‘Deals’ feature should be working now with no issues. Note: You find these new NPCs in the market at any time except night, by hiring people to search for deals.

Added:

• New: Gold target mechanic. Once a certain gold value is reached, you can trigger the ending when going to bed if you choose to.
• Replaced “Bed” with “Journal”, allowing you to save before sleep, and provides a visual counter of how much gold are you missing for the best ending.

Reworked:

• Due to visual issues that seem to be a bit out of my expertise, “Save Game” is no longer free of access. The new “Journal” feature will allow you to save your game before going to bed (ala Harvest Moon). You can still load from anywhere.
• Added a new “Cheat sheet” to the books at Home. It’s not the recipe book I plan to add, but it’ll be useful in the meantime. The Cheat Sheet has the combinations of elements needed to get different tiers of potions. Though, you still need to deduce which element an ingredient is. It has some hints too for you to deduce. Note: Every item of the game has a description when viewed from your backpack!

That’s all I can remember. A new ‘Post-Jam’ version is in the works to bring the game closer to its original vision.

Thanks for reading, go play Suspicion, there’s not a single ‘sus’ joke in it, I promise.
