v0.91.78 Patch Notes - Alchemy Workshop, Fighting School
New Business Type: Alchemy Workshop
A small business with Craft (alchemy) as its primary skill, producing a variety of potions.
New Business Type: Fighting School
The fighting school represents any establishment built to train aspirants in a specific method of combat, whether that method is unarmed combat, cavalry, archery, or melee weaponry.
Unlike other businesses, the fighting school’s “primary skill” is not a skill at all. Rather, the owner uses her base attack bonus as the primary skill when running a fighting school. The owner can include any bonuses from Weapon Focus or Greater Weapon Focus, etc. to the profit check.
Gladiatorial arenas are a particularly popular form of fighting school. Fighters, monks, paladins, and rangers make good owners of fighting schools.

v0.91.71 Patch Notes - Adventure Mode 2 Pre-Alpha
Adventure Mode 2 Pre-Alpha
Hi adventurers, welcome to new worlds! This is a pre-alpha version of the new adventure mode in development. The main purpose of this version is to get feedback from players in early development and adjust the direction of development in a timely manner.
In this version, players can create randomized worlds ranging in size from tiny to huge, and freely adventure, fight, level-up, and train their party in the world, but there are no guides, storyline quests, or random events such as large-scale monster invasions yet. A lot of in development features have not be added, and most gameplay settings are temporarily using modules of the old adventure mode. So for players who want a more complete experience, we suggest waiting for more iterations.
Thank you again for your support! Below is a rough list of our dev plans.
Next, we'll work on (rough list): Other adventurers and NPC parties Multiple continents and planes Specific usage of all skills Remake dungeon module Detailed features of terrains Battle maps adapt terrains Monsters distribution Main storyline Random events World map browser ect.
And player races (Centaur), feats and spells, etc.
