Hey folks, hope your holidays went great! Another month's gone by, and though there's still a lot more content left to go, I'm really pleased with how this game's been shaping up on the whole. Even with just a few months behind us, there's been constant progress and a lot to see in-game-- it's really exciting to step back and recognize how far it's come along, and I can't wait to keep adding in more. I was on such a roll this time that I was able to include a few more mechanics/quality-of-life fixes than I first planned, as well as get some work done ahead of schedule for the next one, which will be focused on tackling the Forest and laying down the foundations for the next hunt: pursuing the barbarian wolf and his camp of raiders! As always, thank you all for your generous support, and I hope you enjoy everything I got done this time!

Patch Notes:

• The Ruins have been introduced, complete with four special encounters and a bonus one if you're Dronified!

• The kitchen and dining room are now available! Chat up Locke, make some home upgrades, bake some cakes!

• You can now brew potions! The more you make in a day, the harder the Wisdom check to do so becomes. You can convert Verdure into either a Love Draught or a Strength Potion!

• Strength Potions will increase your Power by +1, but only for that day. If you fall into a regular habit of using them, you might get carried away...

• Love Draughts increase both Comfort and Obedience at once! These might be used on other servants in the future...

• Silhouettes of generic servants will appear through the house as your Servant number rises and falls, to add more life to the estate!

• If Comfort starts to drop too low, you might notice stains popping up around the estate as it slowly falls into disarray.

• One new scene has been added to Julian's bad end for when you fail at the end of his hunt! Felicity's permanently brainwashed, and that's going to get rubbed into your face very, VERY often...

• A debug room available for my patrons of $15 or more, where you can control your Obedience/Comfort, gold, stats, story progression, and more! The version including it will need to be downloaded from the patreon itself, as a head's up!

• Slightly updated the barrel sprite! Whoa!!!!!!!
