Additions

Removals

0.4.0

The following is the current adjustments to demo 0.4.0. The demo's current release schedule is unknown.

Fixes

  • Various coding fixes. If you guys want the game to be broken, break it yourself.
  • Andrew's and Andrea's parents now look related to them. Might improve later, though. Placeholder parents.
  • Made Dark Swordfish come out of hiding. I forgot to toggle his switch for Night.
  • Stewart now has the same sprite during the day AND night. No more changing hair color!
  • Adjustment to choice prompts. They now show up in the center of the screen so they don't hide people. This change is applied to conversations between characters. In dialogue where no character shows up, like when checking a fridge or opening a door, the prompt location is not changed.
    • Similar reasoning for moving some name boxes that were too much of a spotlight hog.
  • Varius teks chayngs and tipo fixes becauhs eye speek english goodly
  • The Pam in the Town of Fora was accidentally using the NPC Man's sprite during a certain conversation. This was due to me copying the wrong box. She's back to normal now.
  • The back door of the Shop in Fora didn't stay open properly after unlocking it. It now stays open properly after unlocking it.

Additions

  • The Town of Lora, Lora Lake, and Lora Grotto have all been implemented.
  • Marina can now be recruited if the player has 9 or less Gems.
  • Andrew (if Stephan or Helen) or Andrea (if Jennifer or Hamilton) can join before the fight with Silver Knight, which will change the order of events a little. Both can be recruited together after the boss fight.
  • Added new scenario to the Town of Bora if the player has 10 or more Gems before defeating Hypnock (which isn't possible yet, but will be!).
  • Lynmandi gets bored and leaves if the player has 10 or more Gems.
  • Books now tell stories and use Albums to tell information on certain characters. You can now pry into their personal lives.
  • Added stat reducing skills to go along with the stat increasing ones. Books that taught the stat boost spells now also teach the stat drop spells. They also now cost twice as much. Yay economy!
  • Various new items, equipment, and enemies are added. People like new things that sometimes prove worthless later in RPGs, right?
  • Characters can now emote. Mom said Helen looked too happy, so I fixed that.
  • Expanded Silver Knight's dialogue to allow avoidance of battle for people who don't want experience points and rewards. He also has a new skill.
  • Implemented game difficulties: Easy Mode, Normal Mode, and Hard Mode. Easy Mode lets you avoid battles and Hard Mode gives you new dungeons and a death wish.
  • Implemented text options: Text Mode and Silent Mode. Silent Mode makes people ignore you. Combine Easy Mode and Silent Mode for "Speedrun Mode".
  • Find the 8 Red Sers.
  • A lot of things have been added that you can't see yet.

Changes

  • Changed portrait art style due to getting a drawing pad... a while ago.
  • Changed character battler graphics.
  • Changed Madilynn's name to Lynmandi for reasons.
  • Various enemy stat adjustments have been made so they don't kill you too quickly.
  • Adjusted Dakota's The Lady's Search quest for lore reasons.
  • Changed Exitilus's name to Exitous for lore (and potential copyright infringement) reasons.

Removals

  • Removed armor-specific portraits to account for emotions. I know there are scripts that allow both, but I couldn't find anything and help didn't go anywhere, so wearing something new and looking happy in it is currently not allowed.
  • The Day-Night cycle has been removed.

Please let me know if things that were supposed to be fixed ended up not getting fixed.
