"I Have Low Stats, etc." Version 1.0 is up!

I am physically weary and mentally exhausted, as the rush to the end here was a lot. But 'I Have Low Stats But My Class Is "Leader", So I Recruited Everyone I Know To Fight The Dark Lord' is playable and a complete experience! If this is your first look at the game, please give the newly updated demo a try.

First, I want to go over plans for this for the future. I'm taking the next day or two off to work on something else because I desperately need the mental reset. This has been A Lot™ to deal with, and there are some things I do want to look at in the future for the game.

  • Fixing episode numbers. I had this as a "do this before release" thing because I moved a LOT of levels around, but it's not that big a deal and I'm too fried from working on this thing for so long.
  • Cutscene fixes. Many of the cutscenes were effectively copy/pasted from a template I made, though a lot now need better sound cues, or music shifts, and that sort of thing. My first focus was playability and functionality, but I need to sit down and go through them all again. Also, a lot of the maps/setups for cutscenes are boring/repetitive, so I'll make adjustments there too.
  • Combat rebalancing. Some fights drag on a bit farther than I'd like, or the solution is a very specific sequence of actions for certain battles. I'll be doing a lot of combat testing the next few days to hit the balance I'm going for.
  • Text box adjustments. It's very hard to tell where the text will leave the box, and there's no auto wordwrap or anything, so I have to just guess and check. But there's a lot of text, and tedious/unimportant/time-consuming tasks like this one fell by the wayside. I'll get to it soon, just not at release.
  • Chat levels. There are more I want to add, but I want to see the things people have questions about, as well as do some more passthroughs myself to help ensure every character gets a little screen time.

It's a bit to do, but it's nothing that greatly impacts the playability or core of the game. Considering the prior delays, please understand that I wouldn't be calling this the release of the game if it did not deserve to be called such.

Finally, I'd like to thank you all so much. I am truly grateful for being able to make this game, and am thankful for your support that helped me to do so. I hope that this game lives up to everyone's expectations.
