ALPHA 0.10.4: Common Names

ALPHA 0.10.4: Common Names

This update allows surnames for the player character and his or her chattel. They're optional in that the player character can go without one, and slaves can have them stripped away. Naturally, they may have feelings about this.

Even with surnames present, they won't always be shown. Slaves are mostly known by their first names, so this is partially a stylistic choice. The surname mechanic will also be expanded and polished with future updates.

One current limitation of this mechanic is that it depicts all names in a given name first, surname last format, as in English, despite the fact that there are languages present in the game that do not follow this order. This is a known limitation and does not need to be reported.

Saves from previous versions are incompatible, but 0.6+ saves are eligible for New Game Plus. The vector artpack has received a minor expansion with version 0.10.4.
