Pre-Alpha Patch Notes: September 28, 2020

September 28, 2020

Testing period has ended.

GENERAL UPDATES

  • File size has been further reduced
  • New skill VFX:
    • Sealtiel’s Embrace
    • Heal
    • Precatio
    • Divine Absolution
    • Fungus Fire
    • Madness
  • Potions have been renamed to “Egg” and now work differently – they can only be used in battle and will not provide burst healing anymore (instead provides healing over time)
  • “Ether” renamed to “Berry”
  • Diagonal movement and pseudo pixel-based movement have now been implemented. Movement should now be smoother and less “clunky.” WASD works better with this than the mouse. As using the mouse to move diagonally may sometimes make the pathfinder go crazy, diagonal movement with the mouse has been disabled.

BUG FIXES

  • Skill menu plugin now plays nice with ultimate charge button presses
  • Removed bug where clock appears on HUD upon closing menu
  • Frame skipping when facing first boss has been fixed (hopefully it stays that way)

UI CHANGES

  • New item, skill, and options menus in “experimental” stage
  • Added a “flashlight” in battle to cast light upon the battlers and HP gauge when it is nighttime
  • Modified choice boxes to fit the speech and text boxes better
  • Simplified the party, item, quest, and skill menu screens so that you’d only have to hover on the category to select it (not have to click it anymore) – which also makes exiting the menu more efficient (2 escape button presses instead of 3)
  • Switching monsters in the party menu no longer requires clicking on a “change” button – simply select the monster and another monster from the list to switch
  • Made icons larger and produced icons for most states
  • Added “+” icon to status points page
  • Removed categories in options menu – everything is now on one scrollable page
  • Added very rough scroll indicators
  • Changed the annoying cursor to a more (but still not final) user-friendly one
  • Fixed weird gap in augment selection screen
  • Status icons have been made smaller, but they will still be changed to custom ones
