The game is finally close to a full release!

It's fully free, no ads, no purchases, fully offline. A real world walking game, you collect resources, brew potions and sell them to merchants. With the gold earned you can buy skins, pets and decorate your neighborhood.

Optionally you can download a street map for orientation, it's a one time download and should work all across the world (if I didn't mess up). Let me know if I missed a spot :)

If you want to help out with testing, please join the Google group here (Using your Google Play store email):

Hello! So I've joined the group, I can find the app and click the Install button... And then the store tells me something went wrong. I'll give it another try later.

One thing I have a question about when I looked at the detail page: the app is listed as having IAP, but your description specifically says you don't. Probably just a donate link or something included? But it would be a little bit of a red flag if I were just browsing.

Huh, that's a new bug, never had an install go wrong.

And yes, it's a "Support the developer" function with zero reward. As I tacked it on with Google Play Billing it shows up as IAP.

Yup, it installed okay this morning. No idea what was going on last night.
