Update #5 Days of Sass & Glory!

🆚 Versus Screen Improvements

• Overhauled UI layout and transitions for all versus encounters.

• Enhanced visual clarity with improved animations.

• Prep for battle with flair—your rival deserves the spotlight too.

💬 NPC Smacktalk System

• NPCs now engage in contextual trash talk on the worldmap and random encounters.

• Expect sass, unsolicited advice, and rude commentary based on your general existence, choices, or recent failures. You’ve been warned.

🎧 Sound & UI Enhancements

• Rebalanced sound FX across combat, menus, and ambient zones.

• Fine-tuned UI audio cues for smoother interaction.

• New Feature: Main Menu now includes a Music Mute Button —silence the theme song without losing your pride.

📅 Event System Introduced (Demo Version)

• Implemented an annual cycle of 12 major events that shake up gameplay, introduce unique mechanics, and spotlight special characters.

• Demo includes 2 playable events for early access participants. Each features exclusive drops and storyline content.

🕒 Day Counter Mechanic Added

• In-game day tracking now affects item drops, NPC behavior, event frequency, and more.

• Some days bring rare loot, some invite abuse from NPCs, others are weirdly quiet. It’s all part of the cycle.

🔥 World Map Opened Up

• We decided to remove the majority of the solid UI from the screen in place of seeing a lot more of the map.

• Enables you to see some events as they happen on the world map, should you be lucky.

• It's also just nicer to look at.
