Star Knightess Aura 0.49.0-prerelease-2

ITCH | MEGA | ITCH-DELUXE | MEGA-DELUXE

Small prerelease in terms of new content since I had a vacation week, but another step forward in closing out the milestone list. The Liliana 2 H-CG got finally finished and thus with that all H-CGs before the Corruption Ending are now cleared out! Next art commission is be the cursed, female Georgia character art update and then we can get started on the Corruption End 1 H-CG.

Besides Liliana 2, we also have another small addition in the Underground City: James can now teach Horror III if you gave him the Humanitas Rune to corrupt and waited for 20 days. Note that the underlying mechanic here is that James gains Horror III for himself, upgrading his power as a boss should you choose to go down this path.

Of course that also meant implementing dynamic compendium entries first, which I had been meaning to do since forever but never had the time, so that enemies can gain/lose skills based external conditions. Anyways, with the option to learn Horror III added to the game, I believe we have now properly closed out the learnable skills milestone for 1.0.

Aaaand that's it for the week! Our mapper also created the Richard Domain 6 map, which I reviewed this week, so I'm ready to integrate it properly into the game next week. For the full changelog, as usual, see below.
