Spoiler: Changelog

v0.4.4

• Added rank 2 Faction Quest for Mia
  • This is double the length of the last quest for some reason.
  • All Rank 3 techniques are already added, so learn 'em.
• Added Sunny Meadows Orphanage
  • Head over to Aqua to donate gold in exchange for reputation.
  • Alternatively, you can help out the renovation process by donating your hard earned materials.
  • Each chapter will add 1 Phase to the orphanage, so once we're in Chapter 2 main story proper, Phase 2 of the renovation will begin.
• Added Aqua Phase 1 Completion Event
  • Learn more about why the orphanage is the way it is today. Slightly more.
• Added reputation system
  • Get buffs or debuffs depending on your reputation.
  • Keep it high and unlock more slots to sell stuff in per day, along with increased odds for selling items at higher prices.
  • Although, selling overpriced items lowers reputation.
  • If your reputation is too low you'll begin to lose sale slots, and reduced odds of selling items.
  • There's a cap of gained and lost rep per day.
• Added Haggle System
  • When selling items that are at or above market, you may get hagglers.
  • Refuse to lower item prices and lose reputation based on the price of the item.
  • Get more hagglers per day (% chance based) at the highest reputational tier.
• Total UI Overhaul
  • Uhhhhh I don't really know what else to say here.
  • I'll never stop fiddling with the UI so this isn't even its final form.
• Other stuff I forgot
  • I fiddle pretty much nonstop so who knows what's different?
  • Probably broke a lot of stuff too.
• Post Update Stuff
  • Added Tyra's Rank 2 Faction Quest
    • You wouldn't fucking believe how hard it is to render being on a ship
  • Weiss only appears after Ch1Pt2 now
    • Someone informed me that getting a loan then getting robbed by Stheno basically bricked their save
    • Oops
  • New title screen and save/load menu
    • Can't stop won't stop
  • Faction Rank 3 Questions Added
    • For Mia and Tyra, of course
• Even Post-er Update Stuff
  • New Language Options Added
    • Portuguese, Spanish, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, French, and German.
    • You wouldn't believe how grueling and expensive this process was. I sure hope they're not shit.
  • Tyra Rank 3 Perk
    • All item drops are doubled once Tyra hits Rank 3 for plot reasons.
    • Specifically, the max number of items she could come back with are doubled.
  • UI is now actually completely done
    • For real this time.
    • I genuinely don't want to touch it ever again.
  • Metric ton of typos fixed.
    • You can't keep letting me get away with it.
  • Other stuff
    • I wasn't keeping track, but it's probably nothing significant.
    • Unless it is.

v0.4.2.5

• Complete UI overhaul with new art assets
  • I think it looks nice.
• Haggle System
  • Refer to the new "Help" interface
• Reputation System
  • See above
• Donation System
  • See above
• Sunny Meadows Orphanage Renovation
  • After meeting Aqua for the first time, you'll be able to go to Sunny Meadows Orphanage to help out with their renovations and learn about why things are in the state they're in.
  • Every story chapter will have 1 Renovation Phase
  • Completing the phase unlocks an event to learn more...story, and rewards you with a permanent perk.
• Fixed an ungodly number of typos
• Moved Weiss' introduction to after Ch1Pt2 to avoid bricking saves
• Moved Aqua introduction to Ch1Pt3 to avoid overloading on systems after a single chapter
  • This is largely inconsequential because you can play both parts back to back.
• Some shop events?
  • I forgot which.
• New Supported languages
  • French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, Korean
• New images
  • I replaced Balae, Rocinante, and Mitsu's shop images.
  • I also updated Mia and Balae's sprites.
    • I'm very pleased with them.
• New Bugs
  • I'll bet!

v0.4.2

• Added Rat Rank 2 Faction Quest
• Added Rat Rank 3 Chat Questions
• Added Shop Events
• These don't all take place at the same time in the plot, so you might hit a bunch of no-requirement events each day.
• Added Main Story Marker
• Basically it just lets you know what part of the main story you're on and if there's anything left.
• Miscellaneous things I don't remember.

v0.4.1

• Added Ashura's Rank 2 Faction Quest
• Added April Event
• It's in the Bonus section of the gallery.
• Post Update Changes
• Reduced expedition costs to 75% of market item value summation
• Expedition costs were factoring in 100% of the value of goods with a drop rate above 5%.
• Added Cargo Expeditions
• Cargo expeditions yield 5x materials at 3x the price of a normal expedition, but an additional 75% risk modifier.
• You can hire Rocinante, who will decrease risk by 60%, at a fee of 40% of the cargo cost.
• You can also buy insurance to keep 50% of the loot even if the expedition fails, at an additional 30% of the cargo cost.
• You can no longer send expeditions to the same place multiple times a day.
• It didn't make sense that you could send 3 separate parties to Abandoned Laboratory on the same day.
• You can still send an expedition and a Cargo Expedition to the same place though.
• Added Rank 3 Questions for Ashura and Balae
• Added Weiss' Loans
• Just like loans in real life, I'm not going to explain this.
• Just like loans in real life, you can completely mess up your save if you're not careful.
• Unlike loans in real life, there are a few guardrails to prevent that.
• Nicole's Crafting Adjustments
• The discount on buying crafted items has increased from 20% to 35% at rank 1, with the same 5% increase per additional rank.
• Some materials and crafted items have increased in price.
• Item value increases across the board
• Previously, having a ton of low-value items wasn't an issue because you could sell as many items as you wanted.
• Now, Bulk Sale slots are limited, so the price of items has been adjusted accordingly.
• For each expedition rank, you should see a notable increase in revenue per item.
• Faction Quest Blockers
• Some faction quests have different requirements based on plot, such as Rat rank 2 requiring completion of Balae rank 2.
• This prevents seeing characters and plot points from later chapters too early.

v0.4.0

• Added Balae's Rank 3 Faction Quest (Exposition)
• Added Image Gallery
• Option between replay gallery and image gallery. Image gallery consists purely of still images you can unlock.

• Pinned yesterday's seascapes and expeditions to the top.
• Rank event buttons are more obvious.
• You can change the player name from options.
• Gallery now based on per-save content flags.

Spoiler: Dev Notes

Whispering Ledger features a robust mercantile system, where you can decide whether you want to be an honest merchant and sell things for what they're worth, or a greedy mogul who refuses to sell for anything less than top dollar. Your store's reputation will change based on your business practices, and some clients will take particular offense to being nickel and dimed.

As your reputation grows, you’ll forge alliances and maybe something more with 5 core characters:

• Balae (Scholar Association) will help unlock new regions.
• Ashura (Mercenary Guild) can provide better adventurers for safer expeditions.
• Nicole (Research Division) will research recipes and upgrades for your store.
• Tyra (Fisher’s Pier) can catch marine line and the occasional oceanic treasure.
• Rat (Black Market) can explain her role herself.

As the game progresses, these alliances will play a key role in protecting yourself from those who don't appreciate a merchant who plays both sides. Or maybe you'll choose a side in the end? Be careful that it's the right one.

What exactly was changed that needed a patch? I know some reasons why but would love a description or visual on what changed and what the patch reverts

This was confirmed by the dev to be the case:

The breast size of some NPCs (Patreon doesn't like flat women). I haven't played it yet, but that's my guess.

damn the hate for flat girls is criminal

I don't get the appeal of generating a standard image and then pixelating it. I can get pixel art when it's designed around the pixelated resolution, but these images all seem like they would have been better off generating normally.

As a big fan of pixel art I actually don't mind this style. I think it gives it a unique vibe and kinda helps with the usual samey feeling that a lot of these AI generated art games tend to have.

Is the patch even linked here? I can't see it so here it is for anyone who wants it.

The patch should stay linked on the first post. Always a hassle to hunt for the patch on the other site. Once you have it though you can copy and paste with each new version. It's only a single file to drop in the game folder.
