Seems like the dev made a internship in one of the AAA game forges like Bugthesda, the game is getting "bigger" but slowly, the bugs remain, return or are getting even worse, i was happy to see some advantage in building, especially the castle tiles are interesting but the castle gate is just the same as the stone door tile, the door that was already working in an older version is now back to useless "pole", same with wall torches, they worked in earlier versions now they fall of walls for a couple versions, the quests still have issues like the system does not notice that you did things, like backing bread, or give birth to a werewolf baby. Things like forges also seem not work properly, they "forget" receipts, so when i put coal in it with copper and turn them on they do not melt them, or they start to melt stuff even without any raw mats in it.
The new save system seems also buggy, my savegame from new game seems to be broken, i load it and instead of a lvl 20+ girl in my new build "castle" i get a naked lvl 1 girl on the beach, when i load it from that point again, it loads it properly but it seems like there are things gone, like chests with all the loot in it, and forges are also like fresh build, all the loot i placed there is gone, and in a couple minutes the game is getting laggy to a point when it freezes completely, because of that i did not have an opportunity to test things like the wolf pets or if the slave girls are still useless and are not able to follow through the dungeon "loading" doors.
As already mentioned above by others the game is getting also very laggy up to a total freeze when handling lot objects, like destroying barrels or killing a wolf pack with one 2h sword swing.
Long story short, testing new versions of the game is like a box of chocolate, you never know what you get
