Description

Starheaven is a game with the following characteristics: Fantasy-fiction -> Means that the content inside the game is not actually real. Any resemblance to real people, places, religions, situations, pets, marriages, relationships, etc. is just a coincidence. Text-based-> Means that, apart from the integrated images, it uses the most powerful graphics board ever invented. That's right, it's the imagination powered by the Times New Roman text. Role-playing -> Means you play as a character inside the game. Imagine it's you, only in the game you can change, drown, get hurt, get strong relatively easy, etc. Transformation-> In a simple way to avoid any philosophical discussions, transformation in this game means that the character (aka, you) undergoes a series of changes into one or various of the following: Animal, anthropomorphic animal, inanimate object, plant and/or human. In development-> Means that it's not a finished product. While many people might think that a game has to be finished before people start trying to break them, the truth is that no game is really ever finished. If you doubt this, see all the different kinds of versions of tetris, pacman, etc. Even now, the 'finished' games are being constantly patched. So, returning to the point, it's being developed as time goes by and as users start breaking it.

Changes

Mouse transformation and item by Ark Rotarl
New Shop: External's Shop
New Item: Golden Armor
New location: Woods
Fixed bug: The data screen returned you to the help screen if you clicked on it. This was because of some bad managing on the action tree. Fixed bug: Game crashed when leaving the lake store (thank you new gameHistory system!)
Fixed bug: See that the HP doesn't raise from 0 to 1 if an enemy defeats you.
Fixed bug: The changing description of the wings was blank, making an empty test appear when the horse's infection got to it. Filled it with a generic changing description.
Fixed bug: The overall descriptions weren't triggering properly. Mainly because they weren't included XD. Sorry folks, my fault.
Fixed bug: Lizardmen should drop lizard oil now.
New generic overall description, for when I forget to write it XD
Could not reproduce: "The tail and the centaur-body weren't reversed with a different TF(swan)". Just for the record, the swan TF is made so that it takes away the centaur body, and changes the tail into a feathery tuft.
Could not reproduce: "Double TF messages of the same part and other TFs and parts that don't change". I spent some time using the TF items like crazy. I didn't see any double descriptions. Maybe it was on an encounter, I haven't checked those yet.
Balance fix: Changed chances of finding items for it to be equal for all items. Some items need certain level in order for them to be encountered randomly.
Balance fix: Made the horse transformation item change statistics according to level. The higher the level, the more they change. The most you can get out of this is a +6 on every statistic it changes at level 100.

Thank you for the tip and the site! The new version has its font included.

Just to give you a heads up. I had a program that I used fonts for and every new release of Ubuntu the font would dissappear, so I had to change what font I was using again and again. After about 2 years of updating the font address with every release I finally got smart and added a free font to the program. You can download free fonts from dafont.com . You'll have to look for one with a free license because they're not all free to redistribute, but there are lots of them that are.

I'll see into it. I thought Times New Roman was in all systems. I'll also have to see how to go about it, so it might take a while.

I run the game on Linux (Fedora) and the smallest fonts are hardly readable for me; maybe use some .ttf font file instead of SysFont? There's no Times New Roman in system fonts on Linux.
