The first major update for the awful game of awfulness is now ready. I spent about four days testing it (not taking into account in-dev testing). Good thing I did because I found and fixed several major bugs and inconveniences. Thats not to say the gaem is bug-free. I cant test everything. I tested it from my phone and let me tell you I see no technical issue with using it on a phone (provided sufficient specs and a compatible browser). You can keep the browser tab open and it will be available at any time if its online.
I transferred all user accounts from the old instance so you probably can log in to new instance with your old username and password. Oh and you probably cant stay logged in to more than one instance per browser. The characters are not transferred. However in future I will maybe transfer characters. Or maybe not. With the updates being so infrequent u will probably get bored from your old character anyway - by the time an update becomes available. I also don’t like the idea of touching an existing instance because updates are nice of course but if I accidently break something then ppl might get angry with me. I realized that “hot” updates are somewhat possible but I am not willing to take this risk. I will probably hot-update only critical bugs, not features.
I will later start working on new features. Here are some features I have planned for future: body strength, physical training, death from weight loss, death from overeating, enemies who feed u, more weapons, food items, armor, clothes, shields, improved combat log, icons for journal items, more various texts for events, reduce RAM usage… . These features are not implemented yet; they are planned for future.
I hope the new instance will work nicely
Enjoy.

Latest alpha instance: v 0.4.0 http://hinst.ru/meadowie0004
Last update: 2016.11
[] Check your character status every day (or whenever you like)
[] Optimized for small screens
[] Control eating policy, equip weapons
[] Schedule dungeon explorations; seek treasures
[] Buy food; sell loot
[] It is not necessary to save game. The character runs on server even when you are not looking.
[*] To open character list, click page title which says “Meadoiwe”
[] Basic inventory, equipment
[] Sell items, buy foods
[] More dungeons, improved balance (not to say balance is good now). 12th dungeon is supposed to be the most difficult one.
[] Eating policy: set both how much and how often character eats.
[] Lunch breaks in dungeons
[] Part time job: can be enabled or disabled. Might help with losing weight.
[] Game pace set to 1:6 meaning that one real-life day is like six days for the character.
[] Long-journal page added.
[] Effects page added. It is possible that not all effects are present right now; I might add new effect messages later. I also should probably implement effect reordering to reduce effects jumping.
[] Added “government financial aid” for character that are low on money so that they don’t die from starvation. It activates when money < 5000
I intend to update the first message of this forum thread every time there is a major update.
I can’t restore passwords because user accounts are not connected with emails in any way so I cant mail a new password.
Please provide suggestions, complaints, bug reports, maybe questions.
