Maids & Masters v0.4.1 Release

Weekend release! The side quests I had in mind are being more difficult to implement than originally anticipated, so instead of making everyone wait until the middle of the week, I figured it would be better to get what feels like a rather improved version of the game out to people and the side quests can come after I've reworked them into something that is a little more cooperative.


I did a fresh play through the entirety of the game released so far, and found lots of little things that I felt needed a little more attention, and those things got that attention. There are also lots of things that could probably use a little bit more attention, but that's the point of holding off on story development for the time being; so I can focus on improving the overall quality of the game.


The changelog on this one is rather long, and where it gets vague, you can assume that dozens of things were changed that loosely fall under that "various" category. The newest version is uploading now, and will be available on the downloads page as soon as it's done. I'll get it uploaded elsewhere within the next 24 hours or so. Anyway, here's the list:


v0.4.1

Reworked the quest for finding Maila.
