Insatiable Hearts 0.1.3A+p2

The supporter version of Insatiable Hearts has been updated to version 0.1.3B, so that means the public version has been updated in turn to version 0.1.3A ~

So, here's the public version's changelog, but in short, it adds an image set to the characters and locations, a new magic system, thoughts system, some fixes and little tid bits ~

Version 0.1.3A - (02/10/2024)

Additions:

+ Added a debug feature the appends the last time a passage was edited to the bottom of the page. Just to help indicate if something is outdated

+ Maeve can now be examined

+ Added a few more random sights to the harbor

+ Added a new menu to the game's main areas, "Consult Self" which allows the player to change aspects of their mind, sins and corruption. (work in progress)

+ Added the ability to change pronouns through the "Consult Self" action.

+ Added the thoughts system. Specific thoughts can be added or removed from the players mind in the "Consult Self" menu. This alters status flavor text among other small things. The currently available thoughts includes "gluttonous thoughts", "thoughts about weight gain" and "feelings of shame about weight gain". Gluttonous thoughts have a chance to raise the gluttony stat

+ Added a new status bar and variable, Astral Resonance, a "magic resource" bar for the upcoming magic system, dreamweaving

+ Talking to lexi about dreaming-weaving and asking them to training you will open the option to unlock dreamweaving through them after

+ A new system has been added, Dream weaving, it draws upon a new resource, resonance, which can be gathered from spall or other sources

+ Basic spells will be available in the new "consult self" Dreamweaving menu. These are basic and include absorbing power from spall, creating spall and releasing excess energy.

+ Three additional spells, fat absorption, fat gain and fat loss can be learned from Baronet Laurent after unlocking dreamweaving

+ Maeve can now be asked about "Dreamweaving" and "alps" provided the player knows the subjects

+ Players that have dreamweaving unlocked can now use their powers to examine amelie's curse, attempt to break it or fatten her. This won't quite work, but adds details to her future quest stages

+ Amelie can now be asked about "dreamweaving"

+ A test image pack has been created for the game and has be integrated in a few ways and includes 10 backgrounds and 13 character profiles icons. Most regions in the game now have a background image. Some characters now how profile images that show in the relationship index. The art used is largely taken from my previous drawn material, so some characters only have simple sketch work at this time. This will be improved over time.

+ As a test, Kip's profile image has 3 stages that depict her according to her weight gain. Similarly 3 full body sketchs will display her weight when using the "look at her" option

Changes:
~ Started a fresh changelog for 2024. The previous set of logs is now tucked away and can be displayed below with the "Display Old Changelog" button

~ Scenes that mention "little lizard folk" are now replaced with the word geckling once the player learns the term

~ Adjusted how corruption is calculated to include gluttony, lust, greed and sloth attributes in part of the overall percentage of corruption
