Hey all!
It's Tuesday! That means it's patch day!
2D Art
The Cassandra Training 2 scene, along with its associated CGs, is now available. Additionally, the Blacksmith Job is playable—refer to previous snapshots for more details. We've also introduced new busts for Seras and Grimnr, and updated various other busts.
Prologue Updates
Every scene in the prologue has been touched to some degree. Most notably the Finding Cross scene and Camp Fire scene. Next we'll be smoothing over the dialogue in Day 1 along with one very important context improvement to the story/setting.
Combat
Still plenty to do here but I've messed around with stats and stat growth scaling. The game will have a soft cap at level 50 and hard cap of 99. Probably the next major item I need to nail down here are skills and at least some better placeholders for animations and sounds.
Dialogue System
I've made a lot of improvements here under the hood. Slower devices should no longer have issues with sporadic characters flying everywhere as their busts are loaded in. Adding in new dialogue is also significantly faster from a development PoV. For now this newer system is only in the prologue.
Sprites
Lots of new sprites. Seven to be precise! We'll just have two more batches left after this which you'll see implemented over the next few updates.
Cursed Realm
I've updated the map here. We are still using placeholder tiles for now. The current plan is to get custom tiles done for crystals and then we'll update the rest of the tiles as well. Their design will match the Cursed Realm CG's monolith.
Prologue Quests
During the prologue you'll be able to complete a small quest with Kazuma. We are also in the process of implementing one with Cross but we are still waiting on a few mechanics to be completed first.
And more! Read the changelog below for more details!
Next Update
0.1.23 should be a much quicker turnaround compared to our last few updates. It'll mainly be due to there only being one snapshot this time but also I'm going to force myself to focus on the corruption system and balancing how various scenes play out/are triggered and Emma's reaction to them. Of course we'll be getting some H-CG scenes and more playable days!
