The second and final major update for The Tree That Touched The Moon is here. It adds the final level, new types of rewards and more backstory, and fixes various issues with the game.
I have no more plans for expanding the game – I consider it to be no longer in beta and changed its status to "released" – but I will keep introducing bugfixes, improvements and balancing changes based on your feedback.
Thanks to all who played my game so far, and to all who will play!
Detailed changelog:
Content updates
New level – the Moonlit Branches.
New relics – Sylvana’s Focusing Prism, Luna’s Winged Sandals and Bronzehide Belt.
Spell enhancements – a new type of reward, available from level 4 (The Arcane Forge). A spell enhancement increases the parameters of one of your spells (Basic or Advanced). Each spell can only be enhanced once. The exact effect depends on the type of the spell. If an enhanced spell is swapped out, fused or morphed, the enhancement is lost.
Spell morphing – a new type of reward, available from level 4 (The Arcane Forge). It lets you change one of your Advanced sells into a different Advanced spell. Spells available through morphing depend on the original spell selected.
Memories – a new type of events which provide more backstory for the game.
Balancing changes
Increased the price of Healing and Explosive Shards sold by the Ghost Merchant from 15 to 25 Shards of Wisdom.
Reduced the frequency of the “Shard Eater” move used by the Crystal Anomaly.
Increased the duration of Sharpen spell to 7 turns.
Bugfixes
Fixed an issue when if a monster was defeated by ignite damage and the player became immobilised on the same turn, both the “Next Turn” and the end combat buttons would appear on the screen.
Fixed an issue when enemy critical hits were not described as such in the combat messages for enemy moves with additional effects.
Added the missing information about a checkpoint to the screen after defeating the bosses in levels 3&4.
Fixed the issue if the enemy's name and HP remained visible after ending combat if the enemy was defeated with an Explosive Shard.
Several typos and language errors fixed.
Other changes
Updated the PDF Spell Sheet to include Enhanced versions of spells.
