Thank you for testing the new version, I really appreciate it!
So, a lot to take in, but I'll write down your ideas separately and implement them sometime in the near future, as I really need to continue development with the new segment of the game, the 'ServerArea', because otherwise, I'm never going to finish this project, haha 😅.
And of course I will continue to improve the different aspects of the Transfur system, and I'm really considering adding unique player animations to each controllable monster, after you mention it again, because I also think of something similar when I see the hands on the chest, it doesn't fulfill me and I have to agree with you. I'll probably add a unique set of animations for the player monsters soon!
The story and the monsters (+ transfurs) are the most vital thing of 'Changed' and therefore of this game.
By the way, I don't quite understand the problems you mention... Have you tried to load an old 'saved game' in the new version? Because that would break a lot of things. Future versions of the game are not yet compatible with old savegames, as there is no 'save slot upgrade system'.
I will check those problems as best I can, though.
I will try to make a better Awareness system that can be more fun for everyone, but, as I said, I really need to continue development with 'ServerArea'.
And finally, thank you! You too, have a very good month! 😺
