Build 03.21.23 (v0.1.9) release notes
🕑 Added 2023-03-21 14:30:01 +0000 UTCHi everyone,
Today I bring you a new release of HTopia featuring something I should had probably included in my engine since day 1: Multiple character support during dialogues! But hey, better late than never!
Among other things, we also have a new beautiful dungeon Crypt tileset available in the Sewers, which has replaced the previous ugly tileset it had.
A new amazing music theme for dates!
The Spa is now an actual location you can enter instead of triggering it directly from Uptown, so you can now enter the Spa and relax, and you can even purchase the property if you're going that route.
Anyway, here are the rest of the details in case you're curious, otherwise just jump right into the game! ;)
