Coupla things:
1. Only the South Continent enemies have been difficulty curve balanced.
2. All bosses now have "special collapse".
3. Literary Guild and Mystery Guild are not up. But Fight Club, Brewmaster's Guild, The Company and Foamy Card Cult (lol) are complete.
3. Fishing, Card Game, Gambling, Euro Theatre, Southerta Island, Punch-Up and Deep Sea Dock have not been updated since last demo.
4. Neither has original story.

Ok, now, this is a question that came up while playing the game, so I'm not sure if it's possible to implement, but: since I decided to go the way of being ~*A SPY*~, is it possible to code the teleporter in the Tower of Babel to go to places you've already been? Since I did the first few missions, it takes me back to Freejia with no way to get back to South Cape (and I'm low on money which means grinding like mad ), so... just a suggestion, really. _________________

As soon as I get my new computer back (Apparently I killed the harddrive- go me) I'll be sure to DL this bad-boy. _________________ "...at first it's fine and you think you have a dark side – it's exciting – and then you realise the dark side wins every time if you decide to indulge in it.

Are we talking the one in the spy area or the main teleporter? Either way, that's not impossible, but I worry about making it too easy to get from one point to another. If you can fast travel anywhere, then there's no point. Keep in mind that there are many, many modes of transportation, if you dig deep into the games secrets. I mean, I'll certainly consider it.
ALSO:
I want to make everyone aware of this.
Sometimes in the side-areas you might get an error message... something to the effect of "<> cannot convert nil from String". These are areas where I forgot to assign a battle background. The best way to avoid this is to set your Enemy Encounter mode to either Auto-Level or one of the On-Map variants and to avoid the following sidequests (will be updated as I discover more):

I meant the main teleporter. After I wrote that I realized I could just fish up some stuff to get money for money back to the South Continent, but there's no other way to get back to South Cape otherwise. So more like just going to places you've been to that point and have used the teleporter from that city to the Tower of Babel, you know? nngh I know what I'm trying to say, but words are hard right now. _________________

For some reason, the download keeps stopping prematurely at 40 MB. Any ideas? D: _________________

Hmm... I'm not sure I can help you directly. What I'll probably do is create a self-extracting version and break it into smaller parts if the problem persists. That way you can download the parts bit by bit and assemble them at the end. _________________ Support me on Patreon!
