v1.1 Patch Notes
Hey everyone. It's been a while since the last update, but I've been using that time to bring you a huge update that improves nearly every aspect of the game! Let's go over some of the biggest changes
Not only are there two new prayer related buildings, but all of the prayer power buildings have gotten an update to bring them in line with the new buildings. There's now a color scheme for prayer power that shows you a more comprehensive understanding at a glance. Purple means a prayer power output, blue means an input, and red is for sacrificial output(since it can overload your max prayer power).
The new buildings are: Creature Altar: Much like the Prayer Altar, any prayer power sent to this altar will refill your creature's prayer power allowing you to push them beyond their natural limits. Prayer Pool: This building can hold 1000 prayer power allowing you to stockpile power for later use.
I've been at odds on whether or not to add time controls the the game as I feel with a lot of games it can make gameplay devolve into either playing with the game paused or at maximum speed, but I think the benefits outweigh the downsides. I've even seen people say they wouldn't play the game simply because it didn't have time controls! So now you can pause or play the game at 2x or 3x speed. One thing to keep in mind is that the creature's decision making processing operates asynchronously from the rest of the game due to it's complex nature meaning that if you speed up the game your creature can make decisions slower than on normal speed. This isn't a big deal, but it's best to avoid speeding up time when the creature is in combat especially on low end systems.
Speaking of the creature, there have been lots of improvements to the creature both in functionality and responsiveness. The creature will act with less delay in it's actions, can perform more actions, and should be more stable. There have also been balancing changes to the creature, increasing their maximum prayer power and rate of prayer power generation. Creatures will also now take less damage when fighting goblins, making them into the powerhouses they should be!
There have been a number of improvements to the UI. Most notably is the new miracle menu. Also, you can now hotkey 6 miracles at a time instead of the previous limit of 3.
I've also added a new skybox to the game. This and some other optimizations and settings have led to a significant performance increase. If you've had trouble with performance before, definitely give this new update a shot and make sure to adjust the settings.
Thank you everyone for your support in the development of this game. With your help I know I can make this game the best it can be!
Changes: Added game speed buttons and key bindings, allowing you to pause the game, or play at 2x or 3x speed.

Added lights to prayer power buildings Creature can now relieve anger by throwing things Improved many prayer power buildings Changes to some prayer power buildings max angle for linking to other power buildings Changed miracle increase/extreme bands from red to glowing blue Buildings now warp when damaged Improved goblin cauldron liquid You can now break rocks into stone if they are the smallest size by double right clicking them(You could already break stones apart this way, but now you can get stone out of the rocks if you break them down all the way) Added three more spots to save miracles to, defaulting to control with Z, X, and C Changed move to creature default key from C to Space Changed miracle menu to toggle open instead of needing to be held down Replaced grass on Orsus and Crag Peak New skybox Added curve to edge of ocean Added edge of map underwater Added message on screen while saving Performance optimizations Added ocean draw distance setting Changed defender lifespan from 1 minute to 3 minutes Improvements to lifeform vs lifeform combat Changed spirit wolf max health from 75 to 125 Added number of requested worshippers to village center tooltip Adjustments to how villagers are impressed so that it is easier to impress villages the less villagers there are Added gradient to escape menu Added gate to Whalewood in Rota Made creature pickup up lifeforms count trigger under attack response Decreased save file size

v1.0.12 Patch Notes
Hey guys I've got a patch today with a lot of bug fixes as well as big improvements to the creature's AI and the user interface for training the creature. The UI now shows what the creature's goal was when they performed their action. It also shows how the creature regards this behavior, how you have trained them to regard this behavior, and how trained this behavior is. The top marker on the bar signifies how the creature will behave, while the bottom shows how you have trained them. The book shows how well they will follow your training. Once they are fully trained, these two markers will align and you will have complete control of the creature's behavior(besides some randomization).
The goal of the creature is also now taken into account when training so you can train your creature differently depending on what they are trying to do. For example, you can now train them to never cast miracles for recreation without limiting them from casting them in combat.
Changes: Improvements to creature AI Improvements to creature training Improvements to creature action descriptions Added more information to creature info panel Lowered creature anger increase from damage Lowered creature anger multiplier for aggressive creatures Made creature move to a different place when standing in fire Added setting to match UI scaling by height or by width for ultrawide monitors Improved look of Rota Bug Fixes: Fixed stockpiles being marked for cleanup Fixed issue with filling stockpiles Fixed humans dumping infinite food into piles Fixed resource piles being invisible Fixed builders trying to clean up empty piles Fixed training sometimes training the wrong behavior Fixed creature picking up tree from village and planting it in same village to create trees Fixed creature picking up pile from village and returning it to same village to create resource Fixed creature action preferences not being saved to profile Fixed tree highlighting impostors Fixed UI clipping on certain aspect ratios Fixed buildings blocking selection of objects too close to the building Fixed creature dropping rock when eating rock miracle Fixed creature command icon being positioned wrong on certain objects Fixed resource piles overlapping eachother Fixed angered ents event not triggering

v1.0.9 Patch Notes
Hey guys, I've got a pretty big patch today.
The patch covers all sorts of things, but the main focus was creatures. I've tried to make the creatures more lifelike by adding sounds and making their mouth move according to sound and emotion.
