Major Changes:
NEW: Resident Hall
NEW: "Repairman" that will fully heal your party at a cost
Other:
-Major bug fixes /Minor changes
-Fixed some player position sequence-breaking bugs
-Added more descriptions and sprites
-Adjusted player's battlesprite hue to better match their facesprite
Safe to carry over older version save file?
-Go ahead. (Though you will be missing some bits)
How do I save my current save file to use it in an upcoming update?
-Go to the TinkerQuarry Steam folder and locate each file that says "save". Copy these to a separate folder and carry them back over to the new version once it updates. Until Steam Cloud is implemented, all saves will be wiped from the Steam Folder, so it is recommended to save them elsewhere if the next version is compatible.

(WIP)
Raffle! (8/5 - 8/15)
Its time for a YCH (Your Character Here) random raffle! Starting now until the 15th, I will be taking community submissions for anyone who would like to enter their own TQ Toy character design(s), for a chance to be chosen to be added into the main game.
-NOTE: You do not NEED to submit a drawing, just a well thought out description will do. However, if you have something specific in mind, a visual would be best.
I will choose THREE random winners on/after the 15th. Each winner's character will get:
-Their own room + custom room decor
-Their own sprites / icons and animations
-Custom item "gift" to give to the player (if applicable)
-Their own dialogue
-Creator's name in the credits
- (Requests are open for further additions)
These characters will populate an upcoming segment of the Dollhouse the player may explore.
BONUS: Winners who are also Donators (Contributed $10 or more) may request to have their character play a more important role in the story! (EX: Boss battle, a recruitable party member, etc) This can be discussed further once the raffle is over.
RULES:
- No copyrighted designs.
- Characters will be NPCs only and not major characters (unless the winner is a Donator, in which a plotting period will take place before they are added).
- Owners of winning characters will not receive financial gain for their design's use. However, your name will be credited in the credits of the game both in EA and post-release.
- Does not need to be overly well-developed but a quirk/personality is preferred.
-Must be balanced and applicable to the TQ universe.
Have fun! PM me submissions on Discord or submit them to the Steam Community Artwork page (with the word "Raffle" in the title / description).
If your character is description only, put it in the Discussions area.
-Fixed issue where Teleporting to the underground whilsit a player was imparied caused a game-over loop.
-Fixed issue where Assembly Manual would not repair imparied players. (Now restores ~25% health to the repaired party member as well)
-Fixed Wilson's shop selling error.
-Increased money output for all enemies
-Fixed instance where you could drop the weight multiple times
-Fixed exploit where users could get the Wind Up Key early, which broke event processing.
