Update 1.9 (Web Player & Downloadable)

FADESTAR: Fate of Phaetonia
A browser game made in HTML5

Major bugfixes and a bit more expansion of the demo:

Bugs:

  • Inns did not tell you how much they costed, they just took your money if you had enough.
  • Bathing while uncensored mode is disabled still showed nudity. Now in censored mode, no nudity for you.
  • There were a lot of things unexplained, like symbols relating to stats, gear, spells and skills. 
    • Now, taking to any shop owner, you can ask not only about what the symbols represent, but also advice and more details about armor and weapons.
    • By using "Consult Self" skill, you can see details about spells and skills for yourself as well as your party members depending on who is in your party at the time. This can help to work around the text limit in the standard skills menu, and give further details.
    • By using "Consult Self" skill, Mera can reflect on and provide information about her Chimera Mode.
  • A guard in the Chadh Kingdom Pub gives a lot of helpful information before he gets sick and leaves. The next time you see him in the same spot, he will offer different advice instead of saying the same thing. 
    • A guard in this pub offers advice on missing people if you pay him 500 favor. However, this was supposed to trigger the ability to enter the hidden building, but it did not, only the barkeep (alternative) did. This is now fixed. Going either route will unlock the next step.
  • It was possible to pay a non-existing loan, causing your debt to be a negative value, and this would still spawn he debt collector, as well as revoke the ability to reapply for loans. This is now fixed, and you can re-apply for new loans as long as the previous is paid, and the debt collector will not chase you if the bank owed you money (if somehow your debt became negative again).
  • Chimera Mode was not working in an area where you could not save.
  • Reverting from Chimera Mode caused Mera to no longer be the first order in the party. The "Order" option in the menu now allows you to re-order the party as desired. 
  • There were collision issues in the campsite that were fixed. 
  • The demo no longer ends with the second visit to the Queen, but rather advances a bit further. 

More content expanding on the next part of the story is underway now that most bugs have been fixed. Some minor bugs that I found that will be patched next are:

  • Some enemies that have multiple body parts target-able were not being killed when beheaded. Cutting off the head SHOULD kill all other body parts, except for Skeletons.
  • "Consult Self" may give the wrong dialogue, sometimes spoiling what's next. This will be revised and fixed as soon as possible. So far I have only seen one spot where it does this, which is before the first visit to the Queen after talking to her in the throne room with the King.
