V0.1.3 - The Social Life Update


It's time for another patch for Synthaar! Today's patch features a number of bug fixes, new objects, and new features that include adding more life to the nearby community, the ability to communicate with them, fall in love, get married, and then get divorced and boot them out of the legacy. This update also brings new functionality to city populations, ensuring that there's always someone new to meet, to love, to hate, and more. This update marks the first few steps in completing the second milestone, and I am greatly looking forward to the next steps ahead!
