Journey of Transformation Version 0.8.0
New update is here. This time focusing on adding a lot of new stuff, mainly new bonus tf's, weapons and a perk system rework but also a lot of smaller stuff.
Since the preview post a lot of additional things also have been added and changed, so make sure to check this post out if you want to know what else changed.
Important when you transfer save data:
-Interact with the save flame in the hub area after booting up your save for the first time. It will set some triggers right.
-Only update to the new version if you saved in the hub area, if you saved in a ongoing run, finish it first before switching to the new version.
###New Stuff###
Two new Bonus Transformations got added: Manticore and Wolftaur
While drawing on the Manticore TF parts I did realize that it also has the potential to become a full main tf. For now it will be a bonus tf but I might upgrade it and rework it into a main tf since it has enough possible body parts for it.
###Balance Changes and Adjustments###
Major Parts of the perk system have been reworked. Most of these things are intern and will not be noticeable to players but will make it a lot easier in the future to allow me to add more perks and have more control over them. There are a few changes that also affect players. The Perk menu is now less cluttered.
Perks that are basically just upgrades of each other like Vision 1, 2 & 3 Perks are now bundled into a single Menu Perk and are indicated with a new Perk level information.
Perks that show no useful information now are also are hidden in the perk menu to make it less cluttered. For people who still want to see all their bought perks they can enable show all in the advanced settings.
And the Meta Progression now tracks and shows more detailed informations.
The Basic Information now also display how many stat upgrades you have bought:
Another new visual option impemented is the: Monster Girl TF's Visuals
If this setting is turned on, all visual skin tf changes are disabled.If you prefer a more monstergirl look for all tf's.This only changes visuals, the gameplay remains unaffected.It also can be turned on and off in the extra settings and is turned off by default.
Shop Price Redux
Previously the minimum price of a shop Item was 1.Now this value is dynamically calculated based on multiple factors.On easy the lowest price remains closely at 5. But on normal the lowest price is 50 and on hard 100.
The Bookstore has been Overhauled
Multiple Empty Scrolls can now be bought and the carry limit for empty scrolls has been set to 5.
Ferocity Level Unlock
The unlock process has been made a bit faster.Winning on the highest Ferocity now unlocks the next 2 levels instead of just 1 level.
Bomb Rework
Serval adjustments and fixes have been done for the Bomb Item.The Bomb also can not appear in a Relic Spot anymore.
Monster Drop Adjustments
The Mimic and Golden Mimic have now a small chance to drop also drop Gems (Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Opal and Diamond)
###New Stuff/Features###
Weapon Feature:
Before there was only one weapon in the game, the one you start out with. Now the player can craft weapons at the blacksmith once that feature is unlocked. Based on the weapon, the players normal base attack will change. With the update 5 craftable weapons will be available and more are planned to be added in the future.
The hand restriction for all arm types has also been removed. Now all forms can now hold (use) weapons, making them universally more useful. You can still lose your weapon in a run or sell it.
And lastly: New Skins
5 new skins have been added together with 5 more shapeshifting Crystals to be able to unlock them.
Alraune (Rose Variation)Fenrir (Husky Colors)Moth (Brown Colors)Slime (Red Colors)Lamia (Green Colors)

###The next Update###
As previously mentioned, I will be taking a break next month so there is no big update comming in July. There may be a bug fixing update but that is all you can expect.
For the next big update I am planning on adding one new Main Transformation. One I have been planning since the beginning: A Nine Tailed KitsuneSince the main tf focus in this one will be the nine tails it will work a bit different than all current ones.
Other stuff I am planning to add for the next update are: More Perks, Floor Layouts and Weapons. Maybe even some new Artefacts if I have enough spare time.
I also am planning to finally get some work done on the Final Layer, most likely not part of the next update but I do want to start working on it.
