Good news: I've identified the issue causing the world map to completely not function.
Bad news: The problem is that the latest update to RPG maker completely broke the plugin I've been using.
Less-bad news: The plugin creator is aware of the problem and has mentioned that they intend to make an update to make it compatible.
Less-good news: No ETA on said update.
So, what that means for Dragonfall:
1) I'm searching for an alternate plugin that isn't completely broken. If I can find one, I'll be able to push a release more or less as soon as I get it installed.
2) If I can't find a replacement, I can and will continue to work on other aspects of the game, including new maps, story, battles, skills, etc, since none of that is directly dependent on the world map.
Either way, there will continue to be progress and updates. Thanks for you patience.

So I intended to have a release out tonight. Got just about everything done for it, and then did a cursory unrelated test and found out that apparently my world map has decided to completely stop working for no discernible reason. Just doesn't show up at all, completely inaccessible. Since I didn't make any changes to the world map or the systems behind it, this is somewhat confusing. I'll continue working on it and I really hope I can resolve it soon. I'll post as soon as I figure it out.

Irritation of the day: attempting to troubleshoot a thing. Find dozens of people who are asking about the same problem, with no solutions. Finally find one: "thanks guys, I solved it". No mention of what the solution was. Document stuff people, please. For the sake of all content creators looking for solutions to the same problems five years later.
