In-game encyclopedia entries are now locked until you examine, get, use, or destroy the object. Location and lore entries are locked until you read or hear about them in-game. The Achievements section now tracks how many encyclopedia entries you have unlocked, and there are now a total of 1120 entries.
Thanks to vendigo225 for telling me about the spoilers. The first game I remember that had an encyclopedia that unlocks as you explore was Lands of Lore 3, and I loved that game. This feature should make it feel more like that.
The character screen now has tooltips, as well as buttons to easily access the encyclopedia, game manuals, and ESC menu.
Chapter 6 probably won't be out until the end of September, as I have started another day job early and I keep getting sidetracked trying to perfect the HUD. But progress will resume ASAP and there will be another alpha out on the Patreon this weekend.
Complete list of changes:
-Character screen now has tooltips and more options, rearranged and added more HUD options.
-Most encyclopedia entries are now locked until you examine, get, use, or destroy the object.
-New script commands: "encUnlock" and "encUnlockTopic" (to unlock encyclopedia entries and entire topics).
