Perhaps a much steeper debuff if there was a pet-master relation going on? I'd feel bad about butchering the communal dog, but I'd feel worse about butchering my own dog.
Later, when I've added settler personality traits, this could absolutely be something to consider. 'Animal Lover' trait which makes them unhappy to have their pets killed, or something.
It was actually a very difficult choice between the dog and 2 of my last breeding chickens. I was pretty heartbroken when I found out I killed the poor dog for no reason lmao. I understand how it's kind of controversial but I think we all know those settlers would have no problem eating a cat or a dog when their hunger bar is depleted lol
I've come to the conclusion that it's better to let players make their own moral decisions rather than me try and handhold based on what I would do as the player.
You're right. I initially didn't want to let players butcher cats, dogs, and humanoids, but the next update will allow it.
Unfortunately, there's no way to release them. I'll add this to my list of features, though!
This game is clearly well on its way to being something truly special. It's very obvious to me that it'll be counted among the greats of the genre one day. Keep it up, and thank you!
Ah, that's so kind of you to say! Thank you!
Love this game. Really looking forward to seeing the final product but honestly been playing it non stop as it is. There's so much potential here.
Thanks for the support! :)
I haven't changed any of the encounters or combat progression yet. It's something I'm focusing on for these next couple updates. If that's what you're mostly interested in, I'd hold off until they are out. Which might be a couple months away.
