STATE: 0.20.c Public Release

-Added the missing shortcut on the green portal
-Three first romance trackers coded. May not be perfect yet but are a great improvement for the game.

Known Bugs for 0.20.d (already fixed for 0.21/0.25)

-When talking of levies upkeep always says “unknown”.
- Some anims on Mina's prologue don't trigger when expected.
Attention about 0.20
In the long history of BFL, this is the last update with save compatibility with previous versions. 0.25 has too much of engine upgrade to be compatible (save files won't even work). Taking in consideration 0.25 will modify your travel possibilities since the start of the game, is not a bad thing, but wasn't my choice either. So, if you like the game just don't go crazy making multiple saves/paths in this update :P
0.20.b Changelog:
-Fixed some graphical bugs, and some minor corrections.
-Fixed some quest trackers.
-Added final scene (report to Irena) (+34 renders)
0.20.b Known bugs:
-Nothing gamebreaking
-Some typos have been informed that I'll fix
-Some gypsy camp freeroam problems, (an Emilia unique scene repeats twitch, some conversation with Minerva can go wonky in a very specific set of circumstances...) nothing than leaving the area and return wouldn't fix
-Some misplaced Document pic.0.20a Changelog Initial release:
Content and Quickstart:
650+ still renders
60+ video animations
+other animations
+2500 new dialogue lines
(Sitting at 16.064 dialogue lines now total)
Kaelkirk Main Quest complete:
Once Vael gave you the quest (that you probably got earlier), head to Duston villa's forest. Along your quest, you'll “replay” some scene various times. Don't skip them for the second and third time at least, as the text changes significantly. It is a little wit puzzle to solve... And probably you will be entertained during it.
Main Story finish when reporting to Irena.
Chapter 2 Penketh Finished.
(Dexter introductory scenes, more Robin scenes, Full market, Full church interactions and unique scenes)
Chapter 2 Gypsy Camp Finished
(Lia, Emilia and Minerva Progression)
(To continue, taking in consideration you have progressed already at max possible level, talk with Emilia. Progressing in the gypsy quest will take you to Kaelkirk too). Knowing how to progress is easy. With this update, only a final progression (that will be included as extra content in the next updates) with Minerva will be available in chapter 2.
Technical/Others:
New mechanic: Game tracks if is an Odd or Even day. This will allow a bit more complexity on lively places. For example, in up to date progress with Robin, robin will be at the tavern during day time on Even days.(Less extenuating than a full week schedule). So when finally all Robin scenes will be available, on odd days she'll be in the market, and in even days in the tavern.Will be helpfull when some Hubs become quite busy with characters.
New humor mechanic: Sometimes you'll get Plus or Minus humor with someone without a direct conversation option; That's because that result is the accumulation of several previous conversations options (So a plus can be given with 2 of 3 “correct” answers, for example.
More Applied mechanics: It already happened before, but it will more common now as we keep progressing advancing in the story; high stats (400+) will often change Sir Patrik dialogue. After Chapter 2, beyond Path stats, Path Choices taken will affect important options, but we're not there yet.
If you feel like you're doing something wrong, like only have 300 lewdness when trying to unlock something of 400 lewdness+.... Unique lewdness gains go up to more than 700! That means you have a lot of scenes you haven't seen or willingly refused.
Big Documents update: 90% non-updated documents finally filled, and many secrets unveiled (the oldest, oldest savegames, may lack many documents that are given on start a new game since some updates ago, but visiting Penketh will give you the missing documents).
PS:-Also good for refreshing lore when returning to the Luvian marches-
Current engine changes:
-Saving is now handled by a different CPU thread in order to not lag the game while saving (autosaving, etc)
-CPU multithreading to help performance.
Mechanics temporarly disabled (need work):
-The new romance tracker (Most of it, first three trackers coded and visible)
-The new camp system
