fixed isabells werewolf quest being impossible to turn in
fixed an issue with an infinite loop locking the game when spawning enemies inside dungeons from cheat menu
fixed jumping granting exp even if energy is too low
changed how defeat points are calculated, also made it so the max amount is visible with gray hearts and pink hearts indicate current points

v0.8.4.8

Added:
Reworked the levelling system to be activity based. Running will make the running skill increase, using swords will make the sword skill increase etc.
All skills have an attribute tied to them. Levelling up a skill will eventually increase the attribute (every 5 levels of a skill).
Skills give a bonus to their respective area (sword will make hitting harder with swords), attributes have general bonuses.
For example, levelling sword to level 50 will increase might by 10, each point in might will increase carry weight by 10, so 100 added carry weight + a 50% increase in sword damage (as sword increases damage by 1% per skill level).
The overall player level is calculated based on the experience from all skills combined. This means killing enemies no longer grant exp, but hitting them with a sword will.

Preservation box, prevents food spoiling while stored in this container
Farming plots and a planting system for planting seeds in the plots. Add fertilizer(spoiled food) and seeds to a plot and it will start growing. Once grown you can harvest it.
Also added wheat seeds as an item that drops from wheat.

Castle building pieces for building large stone structures

A system where enemy attributes are randomized and each enemy is assigned random traits that alter behaviour and stats. These will play a bigger role later as they will be inherited to offspring.

Taming, having sex with an enemy 3 times will make them your servant and follower. The pink progress bar below their HP indicates progress.

A radial menu for performing different actions. Things such as sleeping, masturbating, sitting and giving your followers orders are done with the radial menu (F key by default to open).

19 new makeup masks in character customization
11 new hairstyles

Added AMD FSR support and changed how upscaling is handled under settings. It now uses common dropdowns and checkboxes, automatically using whatever mode is supported. Also made it so both frame generation and DLSS/FSR upscaling is enabled by default. This should increase performance on all systems without having to go into settings as well as enable frame generation for all GPU’s, not just Nvidia 4xxx series.

Health and energy potions can now be crafted from the cauldron
Sliders in cheat menu to set exp gain rate, harvesting amount, enemy and player damage rate.
Added crystals as an item, can be found in dungeons. Will be used for upgrading gear
Bronze, iron, steel, royal and legendary armors can now be upgraded to tier 2 and tier 3 versions (each one doubles previous armor stat). This will require crystals and gear is upgraded on the anvil
Added color grading to open world post processing for a slightly different look
Changed:
Reworked the save/load system from the ground up.
Respawning on death will no longer reload the level, which means shorter load times when dying
Reworked the layout for the main menu, this was necessary due to save system change
Increased max stack size for spoiled food to 500
Player health should be set to a higher value after defeat scenes to prevent dying right after scene ends
Enemy appearance will now be randomized (skin texture and skin tint). Later these traits will be inherited to offspring.
Inflations can now stack, but they only last for 2 minutes so better be quick about it!
Changed formatting of sex journal
Rewrote the backend for sex to work better for npcs (masturbation, pregnancy supported) as well as group scenes. These are just enabling features, its not in the game yet but should now be easier to add.
Reworked graphical settings menu options and added a few new ones
New custom mouse cursor icon
Sleep buff will disappear faster than before, the more well rested, the longer it lasts
Added all creatures in the game to cheat menu spawn list, but added a check to prevent spawning only allowed creatures in demo build
Removed non-working items from cheat menu
Changed minimum pregnancy duration multiplier to 0.1 instead of previous .5
Changed autosave default to never as the game locks up for a second when saving, player can still chose to set autosave interval in options
Added cinematic graphical preset (please be aware this will run slow on pretty much any system)
Enemy arrows will now stick to player
Changed branches model to make it easier to pick
Changed carrot model
Added more fog to world (with volumetric fog this can sometimes look strange, working on a fix for this)
Increased density of grass in leaf tree biome
Added cooked meat/feral meat/fish into cauldron recipes
Increased stamina cost for all actions and added stamina cost for normal attacks back
Modified foods into stamina and hp buffing, both kinds should be allowed at once now, but only 1 of each type
Doubled the stamina buff from food
Increased respawn time for all trees, collectibles and mines (1h real time for trees/mines, 30minutes for collectibles)
Tweaked lighting in dungeons
Esc now closes HUD if open, cancels sitting and masturbating, also ends sex scenes/ends free camera

Fixed:
Kerangor tweaked some locomotions anims to have less leg cross
Containers being destroyed should no longer push player through the ground (the pieces wont have collisions anymore)
Equipped weapon will now drop in loot chest
Added collisions to all items, preventing some items from dropping through the ground
Fixed textures on some drop items
Potentially fixed player place in strange places after scenes, especially indoor or in dungeons
AI will no longer loose track off you when outside of their vision range and just next to them.
AI should now properly react to sounds and go to investigate, this did not work as expected previously
Nightmare sometimes inverting during animations
Satyr animations not working
Icons in map not rendering
Character widget displaying momentarily in distance when AI are spawned
Quest progress saving/loading fixed
Added a check to prevent sleeping in dungeons to prevent a locked game state

Performance:
Reduced memory usage by about 9gb when loading a game, should result in quicker load times and possibly better performance
Aggressively Reduced texture size on lots of meshes (this should hopefully make a big performance difference)
Enabled nanite on several meshes
Converted a majority of textures to use a different streaming method, which should reduce gpu ram usage greatly but slightly increase gpu calculations.
Disabled grass/foliage wind at a certain distance to save shadow calculation costs
Skeletal meshes (like the player character and its armors) will scale in detail level based on render settings, low will pick a much lower detail mesh etc. This should help with performance on lower end systems

Known Issues:
map and landmarks still not fixed, multiple issues with it, no need to report bugs related to it
journal displays message for all previous entries when loading a save
Dialogue menu only accepts mouse selecting option, will revamp dialogue menu in the future to make it better.
