Hey everybody,

I released V0.9.4, which was in the beta branch as the default branch. In this version, I added a Trait system. Traits can give your character a different personality in addition to occupations and stats. At the start of the game, you can use points to select traits as many as the number of classes you cleared. In this update, 50 traits have been added.

• Alcohol Preference: You like alcohol. You can recover Morale by drinking alcohol.
  
• Cigarette Preference: You like cigarettes. You can recover Morale by smoking cigarettes.

• Vegetarian: Morale increases more when eating vegetables or fruits.
  
• Deep Sleep: Continuous Sleep bonus is increased by 10% per turn, up to a max of 80%.
  
• Beastly Resilience: Restores from status ailments (bleeding, etc.) twice as fast when sleeping.
  
• Good Stomach: Morale no longer decreases when eating.
  
• Music Lover: Morale increase is doubled when listening to music.
  
• Purity: Each time you burn an unread book or a thick book, your Morale increases by 1.
  
• High Social Awareness: Reliability increases more when communicating with other survivors.

• Parkour: Avoid sprains when crossing windows or fences.

• Medicine Resistance: Only half the medicine’s strength is applied.
  
• Petty Thief: Locked doors or windows can be opened without tools.
  
• Quiet: When you’re inside a building at night, zombies won’t notice you. (unless you light a fire)
  
• Open Possibility: When you acquire a Survival Skill, select a Survival Skill from 4 instead of 3.
  
• Cautious: If you do not move for one turn, you recover 2 additional AP on your next turn.
  
• Steel Stomach: You won’t get sick from eating spoiled foods or raw foods.
  
• Exquisite Dismantler: You get another piece of meat when you dismantle an animal.
  
• Veteran I: Start with the occupation’s unique perk level 2.
  
• Sleep Lover: Morale recovered through sleep is doubled.
  
• Nocturnal: Energy is not reduced at night.

• Strong Body: Max HP is 25.
  
• Healthy Body: Max AP is 25.
  
• Unnoticed: The line of sight of zombies that detect you is decreased by 25%.

• Clairvoyance: Know in advance what items can be searched for in furniture.
  
• Infection Resistance: If bitten by a zombie, the zombification condition is added instead of dying immediately. Zombification can be cured with antibiotics.
  

With the addition of the trait system, I have integrated the existing preference system (alcohol, cigarette, coffee) into the trait. I also added items related to the trait and supplemented the gameplay. For example, new status ailments, fainted, infection, and zombification, are added; many new medicines are added, and a medicine strength system is implemented. I also added the suggested features (such as automatic closing of the attack window) and fixed bugs.

I always appreciate you playing Terminus. Please give me many ideas and suggestions for this trait system as well. New traits will continue to be added in the future. Thank you once again to everyone who played the beta and gave feedback. Please enjoy playing V0.9.4! ☕

Thank you.
