Alpha 10 "Full Steam Ahead" (May 6th, 2015)

For this update we concentrated mostly on improving the dice-game. We heard your feedback: the dice game had some confusing parts which made it a bit hard to understand for new players. We tried to fix those and at the same time make the gameplay deeper. Besides this we also improved usability in various other areas of the game, preparing for the onslaught of our upcoming Steam early access release which will happen: May 19th 2015!

All buyers that have bought the game so far, will get a free steam key as promised.

Dice-Game

General
Waypoints can be added inside of existing travel route

Also show amount of days used for travel route in info box
Tweaked journal text speed to appear more organic
The maximum days of resting allowed has been increased from 4 to 5 per try. It still yields the same sanity gain as before though.
