Version 0.6.9

This change focus mostly on a major overhaul of the game UI.

Changes

• Linux build is now an extracted archive instead of AppImage to make it more compatible with steam. Just run the AscendFromNineMountains executable within the archive to run the game.
• All game dialogs have been reworked to have a detailed border and title.
• Improved combat character bases to take a snippet from the current background.
• Improved combat hp bars.
• Improved crafting bars, cauldron, and completion dialog.
• Improved UI of library.
• Improved scrollbars.
• Improved ui of the player preview in the bottom left of the screen.
• Added an animation when researching.
• Fighting puppets now uses the background of the current location.
• Added unique sfx for attacks from each school of technique.
• Tweaked the mastery tutorial to not force the player to close the mastery dialog.
• Move event text slightly further from the player image.

Balance Changes

• Aggressive advance flow building buffed.
• Pressure now builds on fusion actions.
• High Pressure forging now costs less stability.
• Rapid release restores double the max stability.
• Delayed actions no longer cost no max stability, but instead delay the cost until the effect procs. Halved stability costs of these techniques to compensate.
• Suspended stabilize now also restores max stability. Increase qi cost to compensate.

Bug Fixes

• Removed the shadowy figure from Shen Tian Court.
• Fixed excessively high memory usage due to pre-loading audio files. Should now idle around 600mb-1gb ram instead of 3.
• Removed the pointless pillar stability tooltip.
• Fixed animations not working properly on blossom attacks.
• Fixed combat speed being too slow.
• Fixed items selected as a background not being auto-equipped.
• Fixed keybindings not being properly disabled during a tutorial.
• Fixed enter not working to explore a location and end a combat.
• Fixed vow trophies dropped when the vow was not equipped (but only in the inventory).
