  • Added a “Pathfinder” – if the Journey map is generated in such a way that the player cannot reach the portal, this system will create the necessary path.
  • Due to the fact that now any Journey can be guaranteed to be exited – early exit (via the button in the interface) from the Journey no longer gives resources.
  • Changed the price of costumes in the shop.
  • Added a new resource that is given for boss items and is needed to buy “unusual” costumes from Olivia.
  • Fixed several typos (e.g. Preview replaced with Previous).

Update 0.2.3 (Aguamenti)

• Removed on-screen buttons from the magic mini-game and added an on-screen touch bar. Now you can cast spells by swiping your finger/cursor across the screen (thanks to Habish for the idea!).
• Removed energy tokens from resource mini-games. Energy is now awarded based on the length of collected chains. The longer the chain, the more energy you receive (thanks to Habish for the idea!).
• Fixed a bug where the “fullscreen mode” checkbox in the settings did not take into account the current state of the screen and could minimize the window each time you exited the settings.
• Updated resource mini-game field generation.
• The mine now generates the playing field in “chunks” – small, ready-to-collect groups of resources. Gradually, the playing field will degrade into a chaotic state to prevent infinite gameplay at the expense of energy.
• Added an active quest widget to the game map HUD. It shows all current tasks and can be hidden by pressing the button in the interface (thanks to Habish for the idea!).
• Updated mini-game tutorial.
