Update V2.5.3 - Desktop Version


This update is Currently Only For the Windows / Linux (via Wine/Proton) Version

Includes:

  • Bugfixes:
    • Chimera Mode:
      • Chimera Mode had transparent leg issues in the previous version due to a image problem
      • Chimera Mode's basic attack or flee sprite was the old tiny one.
    • Early Death & Game Over Issues:
      • In the early parts of the game, usually directly after or during the intro where Hob Goblins are introduced, it was noticed that if Mera and/or Caius dies in battle, it is an instant game-over. Other issues were found with Chimera Mode triggering this too.
        • This introduces an odd anti-game-over crutch mechanic: a new pet that acts like a spontaneous, uncontrollable party member named Marmot. Marmot will dodge most attacks and skills, and tank most of them, allowing survival of the battle if Mera or Caius falls to 0 HP and is knocked out. This automatically triggers a battle flee where the player has a chance to get to safety and recover before trying again. Attached to this devlog is artwork of Marmot. 
        • Marmot also will auto-attack during battle, but likely won't do much damage. 
    • Battle:
      • Some bugs with multi-part monsters were fixed or altogether the parts were removed due to issues. 
      • Some events in battle were missing, so not all fights operated as expected. They all now have the same events as needed.
      • Yvonne is now fully controllable and can cast Heal and Relive (revival) spells to be a better support unit. Her Equipment is still locked, however. 
    • UI:
      • For the Desktop version that runs with DynPlugins, the Battle UI should only show near the characters and not on the bottom of the screen. This was fixed in this version. For EasyRPG Player & Web Player versions, the battle UI remains on the bottom. 
      • A new experiment that will likely be implemented to fix the unreadable and ugly font and text issues that this game's engine suffers from. It will be a mass amount of work, and will  be only for the Desktop version (due to Itch's 1,000 file count limit for Web Player) . 

To those who have play-tested this project, thank you so much! Please don't hesitate to give feedback and rate the game.
