TBOE July Upd8: Gadgets

Today I have an upd8 for The Bondage of Eliza wherein lie fresh and new Gadgets, activatable items which can be acquired randomly from lootboxes or in limited elsewheres

Gadgets

Gadgets are items that you carry with you and of which you can only have one at a time. Usually you are able to activate their effects after exploring a certain amount of new rooms. An incomplete list of gadgets added to this game follows:

• Keycard: it enables an electrolocked item to be unlocked.
• Periscope: it lets you have a good look at the shape of the floor without physically visiting every room.
• Cubic die: your items are randomly replaced with other items
• Missing poster: eliza is missing! enemies can't find her!
• Net gun: enemies are caught in nets and temporarily unable to move
• Sippy straw: allows eliza to take a meagre sip of a vial, gaining its effects without actually consuming it

  Food gadgets

  The refrigerator at home can be tapped once per floor to gain a randomly selected Food Gadget, which understandably is no more once it is used. Each provides a temporary buff. An incomplete list follows:

• Haggis: it provides resistance to bondage such that enemy attempts to bind have a 50% chance to fail
• Bangers and mash: they summon exploding sausages - so called 'bangers' - which are highly effective against enemies
• Beans on toast: they boost stamina regeneration

  Tweaks

• Jean has a chance to be playing a vignette when you get home - a scene with unique dialogue and occasionally gameplay impact
• When you can't don an item because the slot is blocked, you are informed of which item is blocking you
• Translation files can also be placed in the same folder as game save files, meaning they don't have to be reinstalled with every game update

  Fixes

• Fixed crate dropping between rooms
• Fixed recruiter countdown still ticking when paused
• Fixed drunkenness still moving the player when paused
• Fixed occasional crash upon opening lootboxes
• Fixed vantawhite belt not spawning items
• Fixed enemies not targeting slaves. Funny story, it was because the slaves' AoE 'hidden' aura that they use to make the player hidden, it was also applying to the slave itself
• Fixed mispositioning of some props
• Fixed cognitor ending not yielding hourglass
• Fixed occasional crash when loading a room in editor
