Aaaah, isn't it great to finish a massive project so that you can finally move onto smaller stuff? I will admit I'm a little disappointed about the launch of Build 2.0, as the game's analytics have barely changed at all. Good things come to those who wait though, right? Anyway, here's a new sub-build focusing on a couple tiny improvements to the experience, as I've done in the past, on top of letting y'all know that I'm still alive, I've just been taking a break.
Changelog (Build 2.1):
- Updated the appearance of ships on the overworld. There was always something off about them to me, I never managed to make them look quite "good". While they're still far from perfect, I did the best I could with the provided tilesets to, in particular, update the ships' sails, which are now curtains rather than solid blocks
- Shortened the stairway up to the mountain path on Rabola to be more accurate to the actual height of where it ends
- Changed the text that appears upon first interacting with the door to the security room aboard the SS Yamato. Hopefully with the extra hint I added, finding the keys might be a bit easier for everyone
- SS Yamato enemies now have a chance to drop certain items when defeated, mainly for healing if you're like me and forget to buy healing items yourself before a boss
- Gave a couple NPCs on the SS Yamato dialogue when interacted with, though still not everyone. More interactions will be added gradually over the span of later updates
- Changed the portrait of the dozing man in Hayai Pub to match his sprite. They looked kinda similar so I never noticed, my bad g
- Turned around the sprite of the man by the table in the shipyard to match his dialogue
