A few little fixes today.
- The bad poetry encounter that was broken, then fixed, the rebroken is now fixed again. Thanks Sildra for reporting it the first time and Argeth the second time!
- The Agar Powder and Biomonitor Circuit recipes are taking the right components now, thanks to Twitch.
- Dynamite exploding now interacts properly with Techniques that look for being the middle or end of a Chain. Thank you, Sildra, for this one.
Cheers!

Okay, I’m officially caught up on the reports from my vacation. The related storm of updates is listed below.
- As a number of people have requested, avoiding encounters now doesn’t usually cause energy loss. If you see anything weird with this, drop me a bug report.
- On a related note, running out of Techniques in a fight now drains Energy properly.
- Masses of Tentacles encountered on the Slags beach now give XP and items like they’re supposed to. Thanks to Twitch for keeping at me about this.
- Once you’ve bought a drink for the day at the Happy Hour, you can now reenter without buying another drink or expending Energy. Thanks Argeth.
- Items whose “use” is selling them have been relabeled to make that clearer. Thanks again Argeth!
- Items that give XP now grant it immediately instead of after your next encounter. Thanks MoreUmlaut!
- Its no longer possible to complete the Dock Song sidequest multiple times. Thanks to MoreUmlaut for reporting this.
- Pinatas have experienced a holiday-related growth surge.
And I’m spent. Back to working on PvP for me.
Cheers!

Taking a break from working on PvP to catch up on little bits of content that got put off during the Slags rollout.
Some content:
- The obnoxious poets on the Quad have a bit more content to them.
- Hound dust can now be used with Experimental Chemistry.
- Midgard security guards have a new uncommon drop for all your riot supression needs.
- A new religious order, the Blind Legion, have taken the place of the conspiracy theorist crazies.
Some fixes:
- The quest feedback during the Dock Song quest is more descriptive. Thanks Rexque!
- The Stream of Needles Technique has an image uploaded now. Thanks to Szodrin for pointing this one out.
- Resting will no longer display “Continue On!” when that’s not a valid option with your location.
And lastly experimentation shows up above learned recipes now in the Crafting screens. The experimentation options were close to slipping clear off the bottom of Chemistry.
As always, if you have any feedback or bug reports, send them through the ingame Bug Report feature or a message to Player 1 (Kinak).
Cheers!

Some small bug fixes.
- The Ghoul King script will no longer error out when you kill him with Myers Sampler equipped. Thanks Rexque.
- The Squatter King will now correctly take your crate of medicines when offered. He also has a small reward available for those who turn their crate in too late for him to help. Thanks again Rexque.
- The Castor Capsule is working as intended finally. To fit the theme, the kings can use this to stay slim and trim.
Cheers!

A few small updates today, but important enough to be worth noting.
- The Dock Song quest should now be completable for the fishy side. Thanks Durgen for the bug report.
- The Twisted Hounds now have better Risk vs. Reward. Which is to say, they’re not any easier but you get more XP and potentially interesting new item drops from them. You can thank Szodrin for this one.
- Mikhail should now direct you to the Slags properly if everyone else is dead. The Slags quest still isn’t implemented, but this should get you to the right spot with everyone else.
Cheers!

Lots of awesome feedback today and a bunch of fixes to go along with it. Hopefully will have some time to get cracking on the Slags quest (quest 4 in the main chain) tomorrow.
List of some fixes:
- PHP errors in attack.php should be resolved. If you get any more of these, copy/paste the full error into a bug report. Thanks Durgen for finding this one.
- The chess encounter in Southside Park should now be working properly. Expect a revamp on this one in not terribly long, but it should be working for now.
- Firefox users should now see less blue/purple in general and more images on the info page. Advise me of any other Firefox strangeness.
- The description windows for items/skills/techniques should now be larger and allow scrolling if it needs it.
Bonus change: the Skill ‘Ghoultouched’ can now be turned on and off from the character pane. No more embarrassing accidental cannibalism.
Cheers!

Lots of changes went in today. Most importantly, weapons have been upgraded noticeably, so unequip and reequip your weapons to get the new effect.
Bug fixes:
- A bug was fixed where Contacts were not loading from map links properly. Thanks MoreUmlaut.
- Effects are now cleared properly when you unequip the items that gave them.
- The “Out of ” messages in combat are gone now. Finally tracked those down.
Other changes in no particular order:
- There’s a new Technique available to be learned through exposure (and by “exposure” I mean, “getting beaten up by the Technique.”)
- The way Eclipse works has been retooled with the new scripting function I talked about. Of note, the Eclipse-related Skills from the Docks now change the Buff you receive rather than adding another.
- There are two new item effects in the game: Eclipse Duration and First Aid.
- Buffs now display consistently with Items, Techniques, and Skills when you gain them.
- The number of guards needed to get to the gang leader in the sewers has been dialed back. Thanks Puyo and Durgen for your feedback on this. I may also reduce the guards’ difficulty if the weapon buff doesn’t make it a non-issue.
Cheers!

Corrected a few bugs and added some features today. Nothing mindbending, but if you think of anything that would improve your experience, use the bug report feature to get it up to me.
Bugs:
- The link to rest from the apartment screen in Southside is now working. Thanks to Durgen for pointing this out.
- Single Shot now displays properly in Firefox. Thanks again to Durgen on this one.
Features:
- ‘Fight Again’ has been changed to the less confusing ‘Continue On.’ Thanks to Puyo for pointing out that was a little weird.
- Added links in the messages you get from being out of energy to the info page.
- The appropriate images now appear when you learn a Technique or Skill. The image and text are both clickable to get a description, as they are with items.
- Skill images also appear in the character sheet now.
- The Techniques link in the top pane is now highlighted when you have new Techniques. As a note, this isn’t persistent between sessions.
Cheers!

First off, the bug with combat images not appearing in Firefox should be resolved now. If you’re still having problems (or other browsers start having issues), please post here or use the bug reporting feature in game. Thanks to Puyo for pointing this out.
A few other quick developments:
- Added more encounters throughout the Docks.
- The remaining items without images should now all have images. Yay!
- Quotation marks will now display correctly in messages.
Up Next:
There are several quests branching from the current state. Along with the University Quest (3rd in the main line), I’m also working on some sidequests in the Docks.
Cheers!

Corrected a bug that was preventing buffs from applying their effects properly.
Also, there are a few new encounters in Southside park and the crates from the Docks are now usable.
Cheers!
