V0.8.03-V0.9.00 (May 4, 2025)
New game features
- Added ability of certain species to remove status effects when transforming into a form of a different species
- Added combat ability effects on caster/attacker
-- These effects occur upon a successful attack against an enemy. Misses, dodges, deflections, and rebuffs should not cause these effects to occur
-- This is currently used in the new Final Duty Honeybee Wildwomen combat ability, dealing a lot of damage to the target but also removes all of the attacker's remaining health and gives them a severe long-term debuff status effect
- Added combat ability enemy pushback that "shoves" an enemy unit away 0-3 tiles
-- Each pushback distance has its weighted chance, so the chance of how far the target battle entity moves can lean toward closer or farther ranges
-- Already-occupied tiles are excluded before any random rolls are made, so that if any one tile is valid, it must be chosen.
-- If no tiles are valid for the pushed back entity to be knocked back to, or the outcome has a distance of 0 tiles, nothing happens and pushback is skipped
-- Pushback only occurs when the attack is successful and the enemy unit has some remaining health and is not at maximum lust
-- Pushbacks play a unique scraping sfx and cause dust particles to appear under the target's feet while they move. Additionally, a floating sprite is spawned as well
-- Pushbacks always move in a straight line, using the vector from the attacker toward the target
-- Rough terrain has no effect on the actual distance pushed back
-- Enemies can also be pushed over/through other battle entities or otherwise inaccessible terrain like forest, water, etc (this may change in the future)
New game content (quests/writing/art/etc):
- New Quest, Mead Madness. This can be found in Fort Veronica after gaining entry to the inner fort. Recommended for levels 15+
- Added Glabbardot the transformation potion selling goblin. Art is by silververity.
- Added Honeybee Wildwomen species with the following forms: Hiveguards, Forager-Scouts, and Workers. Art is by GlobbinArts
- Added Lomn the Butler artwork. Art is by GlobbinArts.
- Added point of interest on far southeast side of Giusburg Outskirts where the party can reunited with Neia and Coralia and recruit high-level mermaid followers
-- Amour Aquatic must be completed for this, and it must be sunrise for the point of interest to appear
Miscellaneous:
- Status effect expiration time now displays in days and hours instead of just hours
- Healing Perfume now has a 2 turn cooldown instead of 3
- Added Additional Casting Requirements on combat ability full view panel
- Sacks of coins are now unsellable (because they are worth far more when opened, the intended behavior)
- Combat-only status effects now either run at the start of the turn (when they effect health/lust/movement points) or elsewise at the end of a turn (status effect that modfies attributes or other statistics)
-- The status effect panels reflects this on the UI
- Status effect start-of-turn effects now display on the selected battle entity status effect tooltip
- Concealing map fog has been changed from solid black to dark blue, matching the end-of-map fog
-- This is to make it easier to tell when there is a room or section that has not been revealed against the black interior tiles
- Tweaked combat ability order slightly so that species-based combat abilities come before form-specific combat abilities to be the same for both player/companions and followers
- Refactored how merchant art is displayed on trade screens. There should be no functional difference, aside that it now allows for art using separate foreground and face layers
- Added missing minimum level recommendation of 8 for Deer Oh Dear quest
Cheat/Debug controls (patreon-backer builds only):
- Added a new debug subpanel, primarily for the sake of internal trigger checking
- Added teleportation targets for inside Dulaxus' lair and the Mermaid Meadows Hive
Bugfixes:
- Bugfix for selected battle entity status effect tooltip remaining open after pressing tab to select the battle entity whose turn it is
- Bugfix for player being able to select enemy / non-player-controlled combat abilities and having it show eligible targets of the ability as though it were a being used by the player
- Bugfix for combat abilities that cost an ability points incorrect blocking other abilities that cost none
- Pressing the End Turn button should clear attack/ability target highlights, as well as any highlighted tiles available for that entity's movement
