ERYNGO and FRAGRANTOLIVE

If you're wondering what an eryngo is, it's one of these. Handsome things. They have umbels, and they're cousins to the carrot. [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//31397842/0ee07ce295349e420cadd58d6dc213c46e3bc149.jpg[/img]
I've seen a handful of reports about crashes that I'm trying to track down, but the game is thank Christ generally stable again, and FRAGRANTOLIVE, om beta, is more stable still.
You might have noticed that one of our long-time modders, Mr Chelnoque, now has [developer] flair on the forums. We'd tried him out on some contract work to add modding features, and we liked his work enough that he's working with us part-time: adding modding and other features, hunting bugs, and doing the QA work that I am so notoriously not great at. We're bloody pleased to have him.
In particular, the COLLECTION feature in FRAGRANTOLIVE was Chel's proposal. It tracks Achievements in the game UI, but it *also* allows modders to add achievements of their own (Not on Steam, because I don't think Cultist would benefit from the inevitable cascade of penis-related achievements, but modder achievements will nestle nicely in the UI alongside the official ones.
FRAGRANTOLIVE also has some more stability features and UI tweaks, and it's stable enough that you can hop over to the beta branch if you're feeling even slightly adventurous. It'll make its way to the main branch around about 9th August unless something goes awry, and you should see GALANTHUS on beta around about then.

BTW, if you're still on the [b]classic_ui [/b]branch, then honestly I would suggest you join the rest of us in the future. Card snapping just works now, the newer version's save code is more robust, and you're missing out on a trickle of new QoL and modding things. But I know that everyone has their preference (vodka not gin in martinis??) and I've committed to leaving the classic_ui branch up permanently. This condemns me to a trickle of emails in about 2025 when Windows n+1 finally stops supporting Unity 2019, but I can live with that if you can.
I leave you with something charming from Lottie. If you're wondering what Hush House looks like, or what Ambrose Westcott did in his spare hours, this will enlighten you slightly.
