So I played the newest version of this game and it's good but I have one question: How does the Cthulhu-like god work?

If you mean Ca'thul you have to sacrifice stuff at altars to gain piety. Being nice and having good roleplaying choices instead of evil choices lose piety. You need an Evil alignment to use the deity power.

I've been making changes to the light system and FOV; FOV depends on the time of day when in outdoors, and a light source is required to make indoor tiles explored when they are no longer in FOV.  Light sources also affect outdoor FOV, for example at night the FOV is 4 (previously 8 at every time of day) and with lantern it can be increased to 6. Torches will give +1 FOV, and lanterns +2 FOV. I'll figure out a way for rogues to have tiles explored without a light source since they cannot enter stealth if a light is on.

I finally found the reason for this bug, there was a neverending loop because of the rest until healed waited until hit points were full and with the regeneration disease it never went to full because of another little issue.

In the mean time until the next release, it's safe to use the regular 'r'est instead of the full rest 'R' or the UI button.

I've had the game freeze on me twice in Catacombs when resting. I think it's related to getting Regeneris Prohib

I was able to get this now once too, after getting that disease. I've got no idea where the freezing comes from yet. I haven't seen that freezing ever before and now I cannot repeat the freezing either, I can fix your save probably though if you want. PM me and I'll fix it. You can alternatively pray for getting a cure.

That is if it still bothers you.

I only picked up one in that town/building where the quest was first given. I thought I could only pick up one at a time?

You can pick all, but anyway, it's worrying that you could leave without picking all three since it's supposed to be restricted.

Edit: I did find the bug actually, you can leave to the center district without picking any of them.

I was giving it a go and I think the quartermaster quest is bugged. I delivered a package to summerdale, then returned. The quartermaster asked me if I had done what he asked, but I'm only left with the option to "return". Am I missing a step?

Works for me, I delivered all three packages and it worked.

that's why I asked if I am missing something. I deliver summerdale package first. then when I go back to the guy who gave me the quest, my quest item is gone, but he just asks me if I finished. The other packages are no longer on the floor. How am I supposed to finish it?

You were able to leave the district without picking all three packages?

Also, how do I manage my party members? can i equip them, heal them, give orders, etc? How so? It seems like they don't heal when I rest if my character is at full health.

You can heal them with the Healing spellbook. I believe I'll add Scrolls of Healing though that can be targeted. Yeah, they don't heal to full if you're already at full. Perhaps I should change the Rest until Healed so it'd take into account party members too. You can though press 'r' to do regular waiting and they heal.

There's no ordering and equipping. They are level scaled, their Damage/HP/all attributes are increased when you gain levels. For example Gann's HP is 30 + player's level * 1.5 and melee damage is 1d(6+player.level / 4) + 2 + player.level / 8 + player.level / 8. So they can become very powerful.

Where do I find the king?

The middle area of Westerfall.

The towns are still kinda getting in the way of my enjoyment of the game. navigating them is quite tedious and they seem needlessly large for the amount of content within.

I get that. My reasoning for that is realism, not everybody in the cities/villages need help. I'll add over the course of time more quests though.

Any chance of adding an alternate mouse based control method for scrolling/choosing menu options other than using a scroll wheel? Like maybe just clicking on the options in menus or right clicking to cycle through them?

Believe it or not, I don't have a scroll wheel so it makes trying to play with the mouse kinda fumbly.

I can absolutely make them scrollable with right click. Clicking the option rows actually is very hard to do since the y-coordinates of the options are too dynamic. There's too much moving parts .
