Post-Jam Patch patched! (You'll really want to download this)

Heroes of Oakenhaven
A downloadable game

Good afternoon!

I admit I'm a little embarassed at just how many bugs slipped through the cracks. Half the flaws' overcome conditions were  bugged, and flipping Overcautious was straight-up impossible because I forgot one lousy line. (And it's Overcautious, the one that lowers MOV- which is a very big deal in an SRPG!) The music in the hub cut out, leaving poor Eloise with a very awkward silence.

And that's not even getting into how overtuned everything was! Those dang mushrooms made Gen 1 Mewtwo look balanced. Don't even get me started on the AI bug, either... for instance, Goblins are SUPPOSED to have a DEF Buster attack, but I guess they kinda forgot about it.

Well,  moral of the story, don't design a strategy game in one day.  But the good news is, I've patched all those issues and more! Redownload the Post-Jam Patch and you'll notice the difference. Probably. As always, you can move your saves over to the later version by copying the Save folder.

Assuming no more absurd bugs, I'll probably release a final patch later. The next patch will resolve a few visual issues (including an admittedly boring loading screen) and maybe add a few more minor things. I do have plans for a remastered version that adds some of the stuff left on the cutting room floor (among them... more NPCs than just Eloise), but that's a ways down the line- I still have this game to work on, after all!

Thank you for your patience!
