New version is out for testing. The main target of this build is to work on the transition between Local Location and World Map plus internal data handling to make it all work.
Instead of starting right at a Dungeon, you will start in a Hub area. In this area you can find a couple of friendly NPCs and they offer some services.
If you exit to the right, you will move to the World Map. Here, it is still very much a Work in Progress and only mouse commands are supported. You can find 3 "Dungeon" instances that you can travel to if you left click on them. (There are no roaming enemies nor is there anything else on the World Map ATM)
One of the feature is that if you enter a Dungeon, do some stuff, exit to the World Map, then come back, the Dungeon should be roughly the same as when you left it. I know, I know, it's a feature that's taken for granted, but I need to make it work. (That's what I meant by internal data handling)
Another thing you can try is talk to NPC on very left side of Hub. She allows you to test transition into Battles. When you are finished with the Battle, there should be a Exit interactable that is spawned in the middle that can take you back to the Hub. This feature is very new and tbh I have no idea how stable it is. Give it a try :D
Some (probably) cooler features.
We have 2 new outfit sets:
The "witch_dress":
The "light_armor" set with the new jiggle reduction setting per outfit.
The grab QTE system that was voted for:
Oh and one more thing I almost forgot. I added a unit (AI) debug menu that can be opened by pressing the bug icon on the bottom right of the screen.
If you run into a situation where an AI is stuck (friendly or enemy), press the debug menu icon, find the unit that is stuck and press on the "Details" button. This opens up a page that looks like this. Please take a screenshot of it and send it to me for debugging!

press and hold ATTACK/SPECIAL/GUARD to start incrementing the bar

hitting reversal sweet spot zone gives 100% reversal chance (maybe change this later)

Parry window reduced to 150ms from 250ms
