Changelog

Major update in 0.9.5.0 is Tone. All realms now have Tone that is weighted against genre to help distinguish between say a gritty space opera and a heroic one.

0.9.5.0 also included:

• Player stats tab on the profile page that show how many of each element like kingdoms and NPCs you’ve created.

• Beliefs updated to support a predominate culture to assist with the description and name of the belief.

• All AI images on the man site being replaced with human made artwork.

0.9.5.2 included:

• fixes to free tier realm generation

• DM maps for land mases. DMs can now upload their own maps along side the land mass grid.

• Continents can now be named by selecting a culture (once at least one land mass has been created)

• All box text and descriptions are set to editable on the page (except for preconfigured free tier elements like the home solar system, planet, and continent)

Minor Cultures allow additional cultures to be created that may not have spawned when one or more land masses were generated and cultures spread across the land (meaning some races may not have a cultural representation). These minor culture will use any races that don’t appear in the predominate cultures of the land mass. This allows NPCs to be created from these minor cultures to allow for NPCs of any race that Apophenic Realms supports (based on subscription level).

Goals! An entire new goal system has been implemented. Goals have been added to NPCs (replacing short term objective and long term goal), PCs, Kingdoms and Organizations (replacing public and secret goals). Goals have additional attributes such as horizon (short, medium, and long) and visibility. They can also be linked together via Goal Link. Goal Links can link goals as parent, child, opposite, aligned, conflicts, or competes, and also have their own visibility.

GMs can manually setup Goal Links however the system will also suggest Goal Links for you! If it finds a match between the types of goals and who they benefit and/or who the goal focuses on, the system will suggest a link which you can accept or decline.

Filters have arrived!

Filters are now available for each main collection page such as Planets, Kingdoms, NPCs, Quests etc. The filter options are specific to each element type.

This update also includes a couple minor bug fixes when generating NPCs and Buildings from a free subscription. NPCs and Buildings can now be properly placed in locations such as regions or kingdoms.
