PtA 0.35!

Here it is, as promised. This is most of the work done on the first half of the month; not all of it, mind you. There is quite a bit with the adventurer trio and church staff that is not included here as both are not yet done. There is also the overall structure of planned content of the village in general that was done. That is important because of the choices ramifications, but otherwise invisible in terms of immediate content. But enough of that, what is in this release?

• Three new Npcs! In all of the initial events with them you will decide their fate: leave them as stone, awaken them and leverage that to gain favor, awaken them and ask nothing in return. These events are only missing two parts that I will add later: Daisy interaction, if you have her with you, and a short back and forth for the NPC to have their suspicions of the player slightly calmed. (think of Jonathan asking how you escaped the curse)

Bersa

Whitewood's blacksmith. She is a tall, statuesque woman, who seems to have been a shieldmaiden in her past?

Thorssen

The friendly innkeeper and owner of the Treebeard Inn & Tavern. He is a burly man with a nice red beard. Also, he is very loud... seriously.

Lyelnas

The local general store shopkeeper. He is a tall, handsome elf, who seems to not be from around these parts as indicated by his very haughty demeanor.

• Each of these NPCs also sell things! Bersa sells new better: daggers, sword and full plate armor. Lyealnas sells a new staff, robes and potions. Thorssen sells two beverages that can be used to recover health outside of battle.
• The usual typos, bugfixes and other text stuff.
• The main menu now has a warning to properly indicate this is an adult game.

As always these mid-month builds tend to have more bugs than usual, so please report any you can find. Also, remember to use a new save or things will not work properly. I promise next month I will begin work on a cheat menu and in-game bug report system to speed things up for you guys. That's it! Have fun!
