Patch 0.7b

This patch was mostly focused on polishing the Seducer Avatar and Reworking 1 event battle and 1 story boss battle. There is also multiple small bug fixes.

1.- Tweaked some NPCs, Loreki position and Lucky is now named Shaire and some terrain issues.
2.- Fixed some instances where the player is named incorrectly when picking the Seducer.
3.- The seducer sprite shouldn't appear incorrectly now when entering the Dojo and other scenes
4.- Goonnies at the Forest are less likely to be blocked by trees
5.- Fixed a bug where Elusive Dance kept showing a wrong status icon
6.- Fixed a major bug where the player would stay dead after battle when there is a guest party member and getting a Game Over when returning to the Guild.
7.- Erratic Whispers no longer ignores defense and has a different damage formula
8- Reworked Artifact battle for Seducer
9.- Reworked a certain Major Story Boss. Multiple players reported that it was a very confusing battle. The battle should be much more clean and less confusing. It was simplified and has extra dialogue in-battle to help the player.
10.- Another Major Story Boss no longer inflicts Curse.
11.- Mana Drain on the player was reduced from 8 -> 5. This benefits the player.
12.- The player should be able to learn Goonie Barrier level 2 as intended when entering the Illusory Forest.
13.- Flute upgrade appears now in Crafting
14.- There was a pushable rock at the Mountain Pass that blocked the path and potentially soft locking the player. Now the player can push it in a new direction and the soft lock shouldn't be possible anymore.
15.- Tweaked some Monster stats, reducing the difficulty in some scenarios.
16.- Added a Weakness Chart over the Tutorial Menu.

There is still some polishing to do. I appreciate all the feedback you have given.

The next patch will likely be a small one. I mostly want to make sure the Seducer is working properly.
The patch 0.8 will feature new content, but it will take some time to make. Your patience is highly appreciated.

Thanks!

Main Story:

1.- Uncover even more mysteries about the Anomalies spreading through The World.

SideQuests added:

1.- Help a certain Shopkeeper gain confidence and increase his reputation by accompanying him on a Forest full of illussions! (Full side quest)
2.- Help an Alchemist to explore Ancient Technologic Ruins! (Progress only)

7- Satisfy a Sea Creature by finding shiny objects for her collection! (Progress only)
8- Get a rematch with a certain gentleman (Full side quest)

New Artwork:

No animatons this time, but there will be several new pictures! Some are still as "Work In Progress" but they will be updated as time goes.

Artwork can be missed temporary, sometimes by choice of the player or doing badly in Side-Quests. The feature to recover Artwork is not implemented yet. Keep in mind recovering Artwork will be pricey in-game,

Although Artwork can be recovered, the scene itself won't, or at least is not planned, so do your best on Side-Quests!

New Locations:

1- Mountain Pass
2- Mysterious Island small section
3- Ancient Ruins
4- Illusive Forest

Balance and Gameplay:

Overall the difficulty has been adjusted at the begining to be easier to give some time for the player learn mechanics. The difficulty will rank up progressively.

1.- Some skills has been adjusted to do better damage
2.- Added a new Special Skill for the Pawssion Gauge
3.- Added new weapons/Accesories
4.- New level cap is 15
5.- New Skills
6.- A few more Friendly Monsters
7.- Yard Gold Donation Box (buy monsters basically)
8.- More Purchasables over the Badge Shop
9.- A few more Recipes, Life Potion and Energy Potion recipe changed and other tweaked
10.- More NPCs, some of them has something to give you
11.- Adrenaline Potion works now.

Quality of Life:

1.- Item popups that doesn't pause the flow of the game
2.- "!" Icon now shows up in cases where an important event has taken place, this will help to not forget some stuff.
3.- WIP icon in all the things that cannot be done or cannot be unlocked.
4.- More Tutorial pages to cover all new things.

Crafting:

Life Escense and Mind Escense will be able to be crafted using several monster loot. It will be a new use rather than just selling them.

Any Escense is relatively rare, so crafting them will be a expensive loot wise

Bugs and known issues:

There has been some lag / low performance issues. Know that I'm investigating and trying to optimize the game. Regardless if you have any issues about this or any other glitch let me know!
In some save files the Special Skill Innate Talent is missing, let me know if it happens to you.

What's next:

Thank you for your patience! I know I've been slow, I'm developing the game mostly on my own with some occasional help from people and friends and I realized in the process that it's even harder than I ever thought. This patch is finally done and I hope you enjoy the new content!
Once again, thank youd deeply for your patience and for playing the game!

All feedback is welcome!

 Hello!

The patch 0.6 is here! However, I'll be splitting the patch into 2 parts. This is mostly because there is still unfinished/untested content and I rather not rush it. So meanwhile I'll update you with all the new battle mechanics, Quality of Life improvements, Visual improvements and more.

What is new?

As for the second half of the patch, it will have the new locations, enemies, quests and Artwork. But that will have to wait a bit more! 

Due the new mechanics and features being implemented, specially the new Battle HUD, past saves are no longer compatible, even if they show up when you load the game.
These may keep happening on the future! So keep in mind, since this is an Early Access and many unexpected issues may keep appearing until the full release.
Regardless if there is a Save Wipe I'll try to give rewards like I did with the previous 2 Passwords for Costumes.
