Devil's Path Legacy v1.10.2 update/changelog

Wow!

I've made some big changes to the coding for most of the game. I've been able to implement some mechanics I never thought I would get to do and it has opened up a lot of options going forward.

The most significant changes is improvements to the range of ingredients and recipes available. The way I had coded things before made it very difficult to add new recipes and ingredients but now it is fairly easy. I constantly felt like I was forgetting something when I added ingredients or stages of the recipe, just because it is so easy now.

I've also laid a bit of a framework for skill progression as well so you can get idea of what that might look like in the future.

Because a lot of the mechanics were adjusted I had redo a lot of things like damage, score, prices, etc. and I've tried to rebalance everything but  I can make a lot more informed choices than, for example, someone who didn't program the game. It's hard to know how balanced it will be for everyone else so please let me know how you feel.

Posted below is a list of changes that I remembered to write down (there is probably more, almost everything changed a little).

Changelog:

Addressed counting chickens error.
Added new ingredients, skills and recipe mechanics
Updated Misc interactions
Behind the scenes improvements
Renovated the inn to have more modern and open design.
Added new customer to the inn.
Fixed Garnish acting weird for Puradon (which is good because he was the only reason to use it).
Made Puradon faster
Stopped plates from teleporting in the inn.
Clarified one of Dad's lies.
Reduced cost of living.
Kidnapped one of the rest ladies.
Encouraged tipping (possibly too much)
A lot of small tweaks, balances and adjustments
Added some punctuation (including at least one comma and capital letter)
Players can make themselves a snack out of the cupboard.
Reduced frequency of immortality.

My plan for the next update is to some updates to the art/design of the game and the itch.io page.

I also want to look at making a more branching story so the player has some more narrative choice, as well as improve characters of the story but I'm not sure if that will be part of the same update or not. It will depend on how big those tasks turn out to be.

If you do have any suggestions for changes/improvements let me know.
