Currently planning for this to be the last devlog for this update if everything works out. This has been the longest update cycle I've ever done, and I'm so ready to just be done with it.
Work for Playtest Build 2 is almost done, just need to finish an ending I'm about a third of the way done with and a simple animated cutscene. Build 2 will also be the release candidate, so if everything goes right it'll be fully released the day after. Currently, release is projected to be by March 11th at the latest.
I also want to mention, since I've seen a few people wondering, Playtesting is application only for paying members, you do not automatically get access to in-dev builds at a high enough tier. Applications are also closed indefinitely until I deem it necessary to reopen the form. Things might change, and I might add a tier with access to super early builds, but it will be explicitly outlined within the tier rewards list. Currently, what you see listed is what you get.
Images attached show a brief sneak peak of the new ending as well as some of the new items coming in v0.5. One additional change is a long needed nerf to the Milk Restoration skill Cows get, bringing the potential healing gained down from 550+ to ~300 in a min-max build.
