Just some data fixes and text fixes, among them Criminal Smile 3 not being attainable, now it should work!

Fixed some data bugs, among them one that prevented archive completition. Also fixed some other text that was not communicating well

There were some problems in the archive, some tasks were failing to be counted as part of the archive (the prestige tasks were being identified as part of the archive, despite them not showing up on the archive itself). Count should now be correct, and tasks should currently show up now. Happy begging

Text should be sharper now. Let me know if this is better or if any gliches happened due to this change in text!

Can also change scrolling sensitivity on settings now

- I have added an improvement for mouse scrolling issues. This should make the issue better but potentially still slow for big monitors, I'll see if I can maybe add a setting thing for it or tweak it based on screen size / DPI, I'll get back to this. Sorry for the trouble anyone!!!

Just wanted to let everyone know the game plays great with the Steam Deck!

Text should be fairly easy to read on the Steam Deck screen

Game can be fully playable with just a gamepad

Also works great on touch screen works too

There should be no Steam Deck exclusive bugs but let me know if you find any!!

A full priest/cathedral path with new roles, resources, and long-form progression centered on faith, service, and charity.

Expansions to priest life, with work related to the Parish and the cathedral

New places and encounters that bring the church / cathedral society to life, plus housing options tied to that path.

A Focus system that adds a mental training arc with its own resources and progression

Get it here:

New version of Beggar's Life!

Class hints so you can know which classes are in the game more easily
New ways to farm skill points
New upgrades to existing content, making some stuff faster

Some questions for you all:

Does the UI work fine on big screens?
Love bug reports and usability complaints!!
Merry Christmas!! Glad I could get the update on time for Christmas!

A lot of people have played the game and they took the time to let me know how they felt. I take to heart every compliment and word of thanks. Issues have also been brought to my attention.

I have summarized and ordered by priority the problems we currently have. I'm not sure if I can fix all of those problems or when I can fix those problems. For some of those issues, I'm not even sure if fixing them will improve the game according to my vision. But I will consider all issues and I plan to fix a lot of them in the upcoming updates. I make no promises though.

DPI problems, fullscreen, mouse scrolling, and big monitor handling

Fixing troublesome english terms that do not mean what I think it means

"Wood art" path to unlocking late game stuff being too convoluted

Lack of skill points and being locked out of a path because of skill choices

Better release process to avoid bugs on hot fixes

revise font size for other languages to make them thicker (bolder?)

Grind related to late game mind resource generation

Grind related to gratitude / faith

Losing logs when re-starting the game

Further information on what is unlocked (type of unlock, resource, task, etc)

Complete mystery on class availability

Players who want to be directed and have goals can feel a bit lost

Some of the actions you can do in-game can be too dry on rewards

The priority ordering is a bit loose. That being said, the first 4 items are quite big problems in my mind.

if I missed anything, comment here please.

I'll get working on the next update!! If you're curious about what is coming, you can get an idea of what is coming to version 0.28 here: https://www.perennialhearts.com/beggar_builds/menu.html

That being said, I think I'll add more content to 0.28 to handle some issues listed above. I might only get those fixes when I get to version 0.30 though. We'll see
