GrowthRPG V0.2.6
🕑 Added 2021-03-26 22:13:34 +0000 UTCHad a bit of a short month, I've been dealing with some bad allergies and some dentist stuff so I missed a few days of work, so I apologize if this update isn't quite as polished as I would like it to be. Feeling a lot better now, got my tooth fixed and decongestants that work.
Big content update this month. There's a new area, new weapons, new boss, and a few new growth animations.
For the new area I wanted to show off a bit with the attribute gates, which now you can see the requirements if you don't meet them. The basic idea is that you will go through the area differently depending on what stats you have and get different rewards.
There's 4 new weapons with this update. 2 close range intelligence based weapons, a ranged dex weapon and a ranged strength weapon. Hopefully this will lead to a bit more diversity, also they're kind of silly so hopefully some laughs too.
4 New IK animations were added where the NPCs hands should track to their body appropriately. One for fat, muscle, bust, and legs. I'm still kind of iffy on this IK system, it at the very least works but I have to punch in a lot of numbers and overall it takes a lot of work on my end to get them working. I think ill try and brush up on my C++ so I can get some more accurate less time consuming vertex positions.

im compressing with into a .rar file but I dont think that will have anything to do with load times just download speed

Just a quick thought and im not sure if you do this already. but if you are not compressing the files, that could be a future update sense the game can take pretty long to load.
sometimes you have to go through the login process a few time. usually check your email, verify, wait a minute. then try logging in again. if that doesnt work, then you usually have to close the game and re-lauch it and try again. i go through it every time myself.

yep noted.

Has it been noted that enemies will randomly freeze in place after performing certain actions? They'll softlock the game and you can't do anything to remedy it. Even pressing Escape doesn't bring up a dialogue to force quit the game. This happened to me with the new enemies on the docks

Ah, found a bug that doesn't seem to be on the bug tracker yet. Whenever a Leg Master uses the Stab skill with a Roundell, it instead launches them into the air backwards.

I gotta say, despite the various bugs which will be fixed soon enough; the overmap have vastly improved since the early days. Kinda surprised how much a bit of grass texture spices up the place. The new port area looks great too. Had a laugh when my character got blown off the pier the first time.
DigitalFurBelow
yeah I think I forgot to put it as a drop
DigitalFurBelow
both have been noted

I'm sorry Its something to do with the packaged vs development version

Trying to download the x64 version from the link in this post. Says I'm unable to open the file it's not recognized as an archive. Edit: Just got it to work. Had to actually use WinRAR, 7zip did not like this archive.

Pushing the Rotor doesnt work (teleports you to the town and you cant move or do anything), and each time you kill an enemy at the docks there is a chance that you will fall into the lake and won't be able to get out. Also, saw a bug with the thigh apprentices and masters where they will just be sent across the area at high speed into the air when they try to attack.
Starsegen
I used the one "Push rotor thing* (dont know the word^^) on the docks and got Teleportet to Town and cant Move anymore becouse he is trying to push it but it cant becouse im in Town .. im stuck there and i saved 1 hour ago ... im sad now

Guessing the new weapons are unobtainable. Killed the Mad Chimera a dozen times.
DigitalFurBelow
yeah people have mentioned issues with falling through the docks
DigitalFurBelow
which buffs are they?
DigitalFurBelow
can you hit any key to get out of the conversation?
I love this game! I found a bug... when you talk to the merchant in the main city, there is no "back" button. So you are stuck in this conversation and can't leave
Techimp
appears to be invisible terrain/object going from sand back to first area, with dropoff, leading to walking on air and then falling a short distance.
Techimp
Pathing on beach seems to be missing safe terrain transition from initial area to beack (very narrow strip of path-able terrain) and unable to enter tunnel and thus no bunshido (tunnel is too high up from sand)
Oathinen The Fat Drake
There seems to be a bug at the docks where sometimes the crazy chimera falls through the floor and sits on the beach where you cant reach them and challenge them again.
Passive Combat is broken! Enemies enter a t-pose and halt combat when they use certain buffs.
Guy-N-the_street
If you're ever having any trouble with programming or beta testing, I'm sure there are at least a few supporters/subscribers that could offer some info, support, or advice to help uncompilicate many situations you come across.
DigitalFurBelow
yeah it takes a second for the dock to load in and by the time it does the player has already fallen past
Redd
There is a bug with the new boss at the docks when combat is done you fall through the dock and cannot get back up from the sea bad
DigitalFurBelow
thats definitely a bug. Does the halt happen when the enemy hits the player?
Shadowumbra55
Awesome update, but bug in battle: as player have strange halt while attacking/casting when enemy hit. Just question, how come we can walk into ocean but can't swim? is it for future update? or is it bug too?
DigitalFurBelow
I think I just need to clamp the zoom value, thanks
DigitalFurBelow
noted, thats disappointing though I thought it was a neat concept. I think I know what caused it
Gabe
I just found a bug where you fall through the floor when pushing the barge
Looking good so far. Animations are much better. Although i would like to report that the camera can get really broken if you zoom in when you use any essence booster. It puts you inside of the character model. Just figure i would post about it. It would be a cool feature to add though. Like a first person mode.
