Patch #6 - Child labour, bug fixes, and hopefully less crashes
Author: Stardog,

Hello!
A new patch for you all. Nothing huge, but hopefully it is a step in the right direction.
[list]
[*]Upgraded to new version of Unity which contains fixes for various crashes
[*]A new and more effective navigation script with better fail safes - however navigation can still get a little odd on occasion. I'll iron this out with time.
[*]Child labour. Children as young as 12 can now work for you. Less efficient, but also cost half the wage.
[*]Changed the pregnancy system. Pregnancy is now applied as an affliction which means the pregnant person cannot work. The pregnancy will last for x number of seconds based on your game length. No more exact times. Due to this change, if you load a saved game from a previous version any pregnant woman will no longer be pregnant.
[*]You can now tell your thieves to case buildings, which will allow you to see inside the building's inventory for a short amount of time. When a building is in this state it will show a new icon in the overview map.
[*]Production should now continue from where it left off the previous day
[*]Increased the length of time that someone will wait for you to arrive if you are walking over to interact with them
[*]Fixed bug with pig production and foraging related to inventory space.
[*]Some new 2D art has been added, with more to come
[*]People should no longer use houses that have burnt down
[*]Fixed bug with not being able to see your reputation with some people in some cases
[*]AI buildings should now be smarter at offloading goods
[*]Birds should now be less noisy
[*]You can now only change wages in the morning
[*]Firing someone after 12pm will charge you 50% of their wage
[*]Fixed a lot of spelling errors
[*]Honey can no longer be produced in winter
[*]Changes to the market prices equation and some base prices
[*]You can now start a new game with 14000 gold
[*]Family members and friends should now show up above strangers on the hire employee list
[*]The leather pack that you buy will now have 6 slots (might have to re-equip your current pack to see this)
[*]Various other small changes and fixes
[/list]
I hope this goes some way to improving the game for you. If this does indeed fix most of the crashes then I will be able to push forward with much more content.
Thanks for all the great feedback, keep it up. And if you can, join me for my [url=https://www.twitch.tv/stardoggames]Twitch[/url] stream this weekend, I'll be showing off some stuff.
