Backup your saves. They should work fine with the new version, but it's better to be sure.

The scheduling system I worked on for so long is close to being finished. There are still some rather big parts missing, but the most important ones are in and ready. 

If you want to know more about the scheduling system, feel free to read previous blog posts. This one will serve as a short tutorial \ familiarisation. 

Favors

From now on, you will have to "buy" jobs, activities and certain items from NPCs in exchange for relationship points. This system is called favor.

Every NPC has different list of favors. Each requiring different relationship level and some even require certain skill level. If you want to work for someone, you will have to raise their favor first by chatting with them or using your schedule to hang out with them.

Schedule

Once you raise your relationship and spend some favor points to get new job, you can start scheduling your next week. You do this by entering your tent (or bed if you upgraded your hideout).

Doing so will show you the schedule screen, where you can set different activity for each day of the week. This includes things like working, training,resting, hanging out with other people and so on.

Thanks to this new system, you have more control over your stats and how you develop your character. You can spend entire week working hard and then use drugs and alcohol to raise your mood, or you can take things easy and spend most of the week doing almost nothing.

Once you accept your schedule, you will get new report screen.

That's roughly what the new schedule system looks like. 

This is the first full implementation of this system into the game. Old work system is no longer accessible. Expect bugs, balance issues and maybe even crashes. If you run into some serious problems, you can always download one of the older versions and your saves should work fine. There are some things that are not yet finished or don't work fully (Zacharias can't be recruited for now), but there are also some bugfixes in here that were not in the previous version.

However, I would really apreciate it if you post your suggestions, opinions and any bugs you found here or in the forum. It would help me greatly.

Next few version will focus on balance and bugfixes. Once scheduling and favors work fully and are somewhat balanced, I will implement the last schedule options. After that comes more bug fixing and after that, full version 0.38 release. Next major version will focus on the faction system.
