I am very open to feedback on the new gameplay part.
Going to be interesting on how many likes it and how many dislikes it.
Heya,
In the new mission system, how can you restore your M.P. if you don't have any money anymore ? Is there another way to gain some ? Maybe with time pass and sleep ?

Thank you.

Jury is still out with me, I agree that the old contract style was easily exploited for money and what not, this new system may need to be calmed down a tad. I will admit that I am just getting the hang of it, but getting failure after failure because of perception failures, without any way that I can find to change that, gets frustrating after a while (Maybe I am missing something).
There are a couple of equipment items that add perception, one which adds a lot from Nimble Fingers mission (the special reward). You can fail a fair bit and not *lose* the missions. And there are often ways of earning back mission points, by doing things like exploring or visiting bars.

If you can't afford it then it becomes free

Each contract has an area which you can visit to refill your Mission Points.
In the first one, it's the area before the place with the houses. You sit down and it refills.
In the 2nd one, visit the pub and have a drink to refill them.

Also - to those complaining about bugs - this is a leaked Patreon version. If you wait a week for the free Public version - most of the bugs should be ironed out. But if you're on a pirate site like F95 complaining that the freshly leaked Patreon beta isn't 100% up to your high standards - maybe wait a weak for a full release? *shrug*

To you trying to shame people - some of those bugs were, I assume, fixed with the help of feedback given by those same people here. Therefore your point is extremely moot and needless, but such outbursts are nothing new. I just felt this one needed to be called out.

HopesGaming Just for stats purposes, generally I liked the new contract system, but their rewards at the start of the game are a little underwhelming. Also, it would be nicer if the screens that describe what's going on when you move to a new tile didn't need a second click to reveal the actions you can take in said tile.

I failed a contract to steal items (which I'd stolen), for failing to buy a book.
I'm sorry, but they're the opposite of fun, for me. They feel like a tedious chore.
Sorry to hear that. I haven't written (or played) the Contract you mentioned and it's possible that this Contract can be failed with no options to salvage the Contract - but not every Contract can be an easy win but I can assure you - some have options. We're happy to hear your feedback and we'll take it into account when creating next ones. Just please go easy on us. This is a first release of reworked Contracts and all of us writers are still getting the grips on the system ;)

Heh - never said or implied you should be ashamed of yourself. But if that's the way you took it - idk man. Maybe you feel there's something you should be ashamed of? :ROFLMAO: But srsly. As an avid F95 user - I'm not gonna "shame" people for downloading free games. I do it all the time myself and did even before F95 back in /hgg days. I'm just saying that complaining about bugs (which is not the same as reporting bugs - which we're happy about) is kinda douchey. But hey that's just my two cents ;) You do you.

I have to agree with the other players, the new contract system is at best time consuming and at worst a tedious mechanic.

I'm a longtime dnd player so text adventures are nothing new to me, but that relies on the player having only their imagination, in here with everything the engine is capable of it feels odd that such a mechanic is implemented considering the old one (wile easily exploited) was functional and more straight forward

No worries, I had to stop playing after the 1st 3.
I did the 1st one about x10, exploring all options that were currently possible.
Did the 2nd one x3 & the 3rd once, before losing patience with the system itself.

What I meant, with prev comment, is that I shouldn't lose a Mission Point for failing an interaction with an NPC who has nothing to do with the mission. Why does failure to purchase a book, from a market trader, cause me to lose a Mission Point when my mission is to steal items, which I've done? It doesn't make sense & it's the first contract.

The best thing to do is to ignore failures and check later when you get better gear.




It's out already.



Yay! Another lover of the system.
It's really a love/hate system so far. Not many neutral people. Either they really like it or they really dislike it.
Interesting to see.

About the bugs - all fixed in 0.07.1



That is what can happen to a game in devolepement. This is the first time a savegame doesn't work.



Yush. Have been fixed now.



Sorry to hear that Gladheim. There is more story content tho.
Hopefully next update will be more your thing.



Bug in 0.07. Has been fixed in 0.07.1.
Well at least it seems that you care about what we think. It's a plus point, but come on, surely 80% of the fans wants is more history and for relationships to advance xd. Hopefully we don't have to wait too long for the next haha.(y)
