Riftcast
A downloadable game for Windows, Linux, and Android

WHAT'S NEW

 - Added menu and in-game translations for *most* strings in German, French, Spanish and Italian

 - Records are now implemented for team members only

    - Player characters now have their successful crafts recorded

 - Crafting changes:

    - Items that use skills other than Crafting now boost that particular stat after successful creations instead of only targeting Crafting

    - Records for crafting now acknowledge what sort of item is created

    - Player characters now have their successful crafts recorded

    - Drinks now focus on the Chemistry stat instead of Cooking

 - Species changes:

    - Species that resist Metal or have Steely skin are no longer maddened by nearby Merciren

    - Makotatsu no longer ignores female party members if they're a species it already likes/dislikes

    - Valzaios no longer warms up more than usual to male players if they're a disliked species

    - Added more quirks

 - Home changes:

    - Fondness and Bond between teammates can now be gleamed at HOME → ROOM → CHECK or by pressing Button B while someone's visiting

    - The player character can now be invited to hang out with the Active Reverian, but now cannot be set as the Active unless everyone else is dead or dismissed

    - Visitors are now acknowledged during crafting at home instead of just checking for the player specifically

    - The player's abilities now no longer do anything until they're right next to a party member

    - Visiting the homeland eatery now prompts a switch between the Active Reverian and their party member visitor, if any

    - Nurse, Echo Chamber, Motivator, Hostler, Wild Call, Inhumanity, Abnormie, Diviner and Aura abilities now activate on party members too, instead of just the player

        - Some of these also no longer scale with the user's level

 - Added 13 more Handler forms (now 46/66)

 - Invaders that wind up recruitable where they shouldn't will be killed

 - Added DEX shortcuts to a team member's species, even if they would otherwise be blocked from viewing under normal means

 - Consolidated outing select screens into team select (not that this makes the player acceptable)

 - Updated team select's script

 - The Night Raid/Venture menus, INFO and PLAY tabs now use unified menus alongside the main menu, home menu, GEAR tab and MENU tab

 - Specific party members can now be picked during player/party prompts instead of only the Active Reverian

 - The game now refuses to connect to other instances that aren't on the same revision

 - Replaced SETUP → USER → ICON with LANGUAGE at the main menu

 - Trimmed save files somewhat

 - Launching the application for the first time now mutes it completely, prompting you to pick a language and (re-)enable sound

 - Reduced global volume

 - And some other things

WHAT'S FIXED

 - Game crashes/freezing from:

    - Nicknames going missing once fondness data is refreshed

    - Attempting to back out of the shell canvas screen

    - Calculating fondness between two party members during room events

    - Backing out of/finishing up in the Item Stock/Pouch menu

    - Attempting to feed a party member generic food

 - Ability oddities:

    - Sensitive acting like Pollinator instead of speeding up the status counter

    - Motivator checking if the ability holder is a party member instead of the visitor before activating

    - Game crash from Fickle Fettle or Nurse activating

 - Night Raid/Venture oddities:

    - Venture switching via menus not pointing to the actual scene

    - Checking held items during Night Raids kicking you back to the menu

    - Egg generation not checking the 10th Egg Carton slot

    - Rolling a recruitment event in when the current area doesn't allow for recruiting and the current quest (if any) isn't a Poaching one causing said quest to be considered completed

    - Recruitment of regular encounters being disabled during Poaching quests

 - Menu oddities:

    - Quitting out of party select from room inviting prompt sending you back to the old home room menu

    - Accessing home minigames via the PLAY tab instead of the home menu throwing you back to said menu instead of its selection of games

    - Refusing to evolve at the End of the Line sending you back to Terminus Crossroads instead of itself

    - Homeland hub menu pointing to an old Gigs status screen and not the consolidated outing one

    - In-game homeland selection screen text potentially overflowing

    - Homeland Y/N prompt having the script for Upgrading

 - INFO → PARTY not checking for a party of less than 2

 - Happy status appearing when a party member hates another one instead of an Enraged one

 - Party select updating itself before checking blocked slots, always making the party member in the first slot seem available even when they aren't

 - Visiting party members being slightly visible at the edge during room events

 - Oddities with adult Langarde's sprites, mainly its first frame

 - Redundancies in setting a venture leader's abilities from the player/party prompt

 - Merciren's help dialogue appearing for jeering too

 - Maybe some other things
