0.57.2 "Begin Anew" - Edition
Randomly stumbled over this? Here's the tldr: Goblin Layer is a (nsfw) parody Adventure with a large cast of characters, humor, animations and more! Not to be confused with Goblin Slayer.

This update got two one-on-one sessions in the Town Hall (don't get too excited :D) and a three level dungeon dive below Grinder, which will be a bit different from what you've experienced in the game before. Hope everything works out ok!

🆕 0.57.2 "Begin Anew" 🆕

.............

🆕 Scenes/Story 🆕
.............

Added New Interview scenes with the Mission Madame, a mix of new renders, still and animated, included.
 -   Added New scene after Main Quest II
 - Added New scene after Main Quest III
Note:
You may get some different/additional dialogue lines depending on some things you've done during the Main Quests.
This may in turn lead to your interviewer becoming more or less excited.
Currently, you may not get these extra options if you've already played the quests.
Cause the necessary triggers are... triggered, during the quests.

Added a 'narrated' [non-sexual] dungeon dive. Something's up, below Grindr.

.............

🆕 Gameplay🆕
.............

3 New Dungeon levels below Grinder, it's the beginning of... something. These ones are non-repeatable for now.

1.The Artisan's Abattoir
2.The Charnel House
3.The Hemorrhaging Halls

Added New enemies
Made some new sprites for these enemies
Added New skills for these enemies
Added New loot from these enemies

Added New skill for Priestess: Delayed Healing 
- it's slower to cast than the basic healing skill, but slightly more powerful. May sound strange, but useful for certain tactics.

Added New skill for Anvil: Dancing Leaf
   -increases Evasion and Agility.
Rebalanced some skills
Also renamed some skills, to make things more consistent
You now get a bit of XP the first time you read a book, and sometimes an attribute boost (like ATK, DEF, etc)
Updated the Cheat Room, new password + new scenes can be accessed there
//Updated Hall of Fame
Added some new 2d item icons
Some map/tileset improvements

Admittedly, in addition to making games, I also ended up playing some (Divinity Original Sin II)...  and decided to, let's say borrow, the elemental combo system it uses. Like thunder+water and now you're shocked.  In fact there's a significant combat, item and equipment overhaul on the way, working on it right now along with some new scenes  in Blender:)

Of course this is a RpgMaker game, so it'll be a somewhat different and simplified implementation.

Also, I realize that you're maybe playing this for the "plot",  rather than the combat, so the "plot" is still number one priority.
But if game got combat,  it should be as good as it can be, right? In fact, I think there are ways the "plot" can be incorporated in the combat...
Anyway, kinda  half-assed the combat gameplay for a long time cause I focused on new graphics and story, but it's time for it to shape up.

🆕 Bugfixes🆕
.............

Fixed one more 'stuck-in-wall' type of bug (not the fun kind).
 Also, a heads up, you got a debug item that can disable collision if you run into this kind of situation.

Dev Notes
-------------------
1. Just a heads up, right now 0.57.3 is up on Patreon, and the version after that will be 0.57.4.
Yes 4 comes after 3. But the reason I mention this because 57.4 will be a savebreaking update.
Too many changes basically. Too much new code in, and old code out.
It's good to mention it in advance I think. But you don't have to worry about that today, cause here's a the new update :)

2. As mentioned, like 85% done getting the townspeople ready for Animation! This has kept me quite busy, but almost done now I've made new shaders/materials, improved models, improved textures, improved rigs, new outfits & accessories etc... If you've read the December status post or Discord you'll have seen some of the preview images.

Once this big hurdle is overcome, I can hopefully pick up the pace on making more "cutscenes" with the Townspeople, and Gobs. I'm going for a relatively simple style for rooms/backdrops/props, so making those will go fast. Like one day max per room.
