-V4 Changelog-

[New Content]

  • 5 new explicit events.
  • Fio and Espa can now be invited for a date in the local city. This event is accessible by talking to Espa or Fio at the guild after completing 4 quests and is repeatable after every 3 additional quests.
  • Added ability to interact with other party members in 6 events from Percy's perspective.
  • Optional lewd event for Fio.
  • Added support for extra event art featuring snapshots of the action (2 events have been updated with new art).
  • 2 new quests with new map features (1 boss battle, 1 sphinx puzzle).
  • 5 new endings to replace the previous cash based score system. The endings themselves are text-only for now and are based on your relationship to other characters.

[Bug Fixes and Quality of Life Improvements]

  • Added 3 new game boosters: "skip the first 3 missions", "make late game quests available sooner", "start with extra cash".
  • Added a brief overview of the game's character event system to the tutorial.
  • Loading the game will take you to the map you quit the game at, instead of the guild.
  • Minor bug fixes

[Other Changes]

  • Many maps rebalanced and streamlined.
  • Ram's cooldown decreased to 20, starting cooldown increased to 6, he now clears 3 tiles.
  • Abigail's cooldown decreased to 15.
  • Speed awards on most maps were made much easier to obtain.
  • Rewards for quests greatly decreased, player now starts with $10 (The town event offers opportunities to spend your hard-earned money).
  • Party members no longer get placed on cooldown after greeting the player.
  • Days increased to 20 (This is very likely the last increase to playthrough length. I don't want to make individual games last more than a couple of hours).
  • Some adjustments to older text and game sprites.
