Released version 0.19.3 of #Lisien, the time-traveling rules engine for #lifeSimulation games.
There was quite a major performance issue where the engine would get stuck snapping keyframes every tick. I've fixed it.

Released version 0.19.2 of #Lisien, the time-traveling rules engine for systemically complex life simulation games.
This release adds the ability to run Lisien with no database, nor any files open at all. It's mainly useful for testing Lisien itself--but could be of use in testing your game, too.
It also fixes the string store, so you can change what strings are in it within the Python interpreter, if you want.
Get it in your Python interpreter: python -m pip install -U lisien elide

Released version 0.19.1 of #Lisien, the time traveling rules engine for making life sim games.
This is a bugfix release. The biggest bug was that big rules weren't resetting the time at the end of planning blocks, which meant that if you had a big rule that set a lot of things to traveling, such as the pathfind
example, they would wait for each other to finish travel before starting their own, which would take a really long time.
Get it in your #Python interpreter: python -m pip install --upgrade lisien elide

Just released version 0.19.0 of #Lisien, the time-traveling rules engine for life simulation games in #Python.
This release switches the default storage engine to #ParquetDB. In practice, game history takes around 1/20 as much of your hard drive as it did with SQLite.
I did a lot of refactoring for this release, finding and fixing loads of mysterious crashes.
Get it in your Python interpreter with python -m pip install lisien elide
