Massive update released for the Clanfolk Demo!

Clanfolk Demo Upgrade Released

New World Building Controls

• When starting a New Map, players can now choose to spend points to change the amount of Mountains, Lakes, Forests, Grassland, and Wildlife on the generated map.
  
• Points need to be balanced, so highly increasing one slider, will mean a tough choice on what other ones to decrease.
  

Custom Clan Builder

• After the map has been generated, you are now able to set up a family tree for your Clan to define the relationships between Clan members.
  
• The Clan builder provides pre-built scenario family trees as well as a custom option where you can build up your Clan from a single baby, progressing time until they are a senior.
  
• When building your Clan, you have initially have 2000 coin. This can be spent on Clan members (250 per member), on starting supplies, or be saved for later trading.
  
• Each Clan member will have their own set of Quirks and Skills that develop as time passes in the Clan Builder.
  
• Like/Dislike/Skill Affinity rework.
  Each person will like one job, dislike another, and be good at a job. This will let you get a sense for their usefulness at a glance within the Clan builder.
  
• Character Re-Roll added for that one lazy/wrong skilled Clan Member
  (For a progressively increasing coin cost)
  

Quirks

• Clanfolk now develop Quirks over time.
  
• Quirks are situational behavior modifiers. For example, many children are afraid of the dark. This would mean that their rooms should be lit for better sleep.
  
• Quirks can also be passive, for example having a high metabolism.
  The Clanfolk eats more but also moves and works faster.
  
• The quirk system is currently in a proof of concept phase with many more to come.
  

New Character Art

• New Human art by a professional artist with many component variants to make each Clan member look unique!
  
• Added a new character art system is highly mod friendly
  
• Characters now are made of 15 layers
  Bodies: Torsos, Heads, Hair, Eyes, Eyebrows, Beards, Mouths
  Clothes: Hats, Hoods, Shirts, Jackets, Pants, Cloaks, Underwear, Plaid
  

New Creature Art

• All Creature art has also been replaced to keep a consistent look.
  
• New creature art is historically consistent with 1300's Scotland creatures.
  
• The Coo has also been added. (Highland Cattle)
  

New Music

• Two new songs from Michael Pflug our composer from SPAZ 2/Golftopia.
  
• A flute song played by the Clanfolk in the mornings and evenings for fun
  To be expanded to even more instruments to get a whole band going.
  

Contextual World Click

• You can now click on any tile in the world and get a list of contextual options for it. So click on grass, get the harvest option. No more digging in the jobs menu to find what you need.
  

Meet the Neighbors

• Surrounding Clans from different Biomes have been added!
  
• Neighbor Clans will send Workers, Traders, and Visitors.
  
• Workers: Can be hired for a daily coin wage
  May end up joining the Clan if treated well enough.
  
• Visitors: Will come seeking a warm meal and a bed for the night
  Higher satisfaction will lead to improved relations with their Clan
  
• Traders: Will bring Trade items from their Biome with the quantity and rarity based on relations with your Clan.
  

Desire Paths

• The Desire Path system allows Clanfolk to slowly break paths in the grass over time as they move through an area.
  
• These paths become good hints on where to build future roads.
  
• As paths become more established, tall grass will be damaged, but the Clanfolk's movement speed will increase.
  
• This increased movement speed will also make the path more desirable to Clanfolk and well established paths will slowly emerge.
  

New Clothing Sets Added

• All Clothing has been added to the demo!
  Sack Cloth, Hide, Leather, Wool, Linen variants.
  
• Since it is Summer, only the linen clothing will be desirable for wearing, but since the Demo saves will work in the full game, having warm clothing ready to go for Fall and Winter is a smart move.
