Black Garden (Public Alpha 0.1.9b)


As promised, here is version 0.1.9b for Patreons and General Public. It features the Night Visits System that I described in my previous post on Patreon. I wont go into much detail as the previous post basically outlines everything you need to know.

I will add however, that I also made it possible to "upgrade" your Padlock when you place it. You must have either the Artifice Skill or the Lockpicking Spec to do this.

The security of the Padlock will increase by 5% per skill level of Artifice and Lockpicking (yes they stack together if you got both!).

You can get an additional +5% at Intelligence Levels 4, 7 and 10 as well as +10% if you have the Meticulous Trait!

This way, the Iron Padlock starts at Security Level 20 and can be upgraded to a maximum of Security Level 35 (+75%).

There is also a Mithril Padlock with a Security Level of 40, this Lock can't be upgraded for now.

To place a Padlock, interact with one of the Notice Boards outside your house.

Goblins will try to Lockpick your Lock, and if they Succeed they will destroy the Lock (ie, you will need to get a new one to replace it) AND they will have their fun with you!

Goblins roll a D20 Dice and get the following modifiers to their Dice Roll:

+1 if the player has the Submissive Trait. 
+2 if the player has the Handsome Trait.
+5 if the player has the Gorgeous Trait.
+2 if the Player has the Noble Background.
+1 if the Player has the Pervert Trait.
+3 if the player has the Virile Trait.
+2 if the player has the Goblin Breeder Title.
+1 if the Player lost his Virginity to a Goblin (Saffron counts as Goblin).
+4 if the Player is still a Virgin.

From this, it is possible for a Goblin to roll as high as 38 in the most extreme cases and break even a fully upgraded Iron Padlock but never enough to break the Mithril Padlock.

Another way to completely avoid this event from happening is to Sleep during the Day and waking up before Night falls, or sleeping in time intervals which are less than 8 Hours.

Lastly, keep in mind the event only starts triggering after the first Week in game and wont trigger if your Reputation with Goblins is Zero or less.

===========================================================

Aside from the new System, I have also added a Nightshade Flower to the game, it can only rarely spawn at Night. You wont be able to identify it unless your skill is high enough.

You can only gather it successfully at Night and you must have the Mithril Sickle, otherwise you wont get the Seed from it.

Gathering Nightshade will also Poison you and inflict a Lunacy Disease. Lunacy reduces your Will Power by 25% and makes you attack targets at random in combat so you might injure allies. Lunacy can be cured with a Remedy or by a Travelling Priest NPC.

Seeds from Nightshades can be grown on your farm, however, grown Nightshades are just as dangerous.

You can grow Nightshades using Magical Fertiliser, in this case, the Flower you get wont be dangerous to you when gathering and will generate "Cultivated Nightshade Seeds" instead.

Cultivated Nightshade seeds will always grow into Cultivated Nightshade Plants which are safe to gather and wont inflict Poison or Lunacy.

Nightshade currently does not have any uses in game, it will have Alchemical uses in the future.

===========================================================

Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed a bug that caused the game to crash when opening the White Magic manual sometimes.
  • "Attempted" to fix the bug which caused a crash when entering Emerald Forest sometimes... not certain that I managed to fix it as I am still unable to replicate it.
  • Changed Diadems into a Head Piece Item as some of them where getting treated as Accessories.

===========================================================

Don't forget to backup your save files before updating the game!

Links to the new versions are in the Project Description above!
