Alpha v0.3.3 Released

NOMIA (Alpha v0.3.5)
A downloadable game for Windows

Characters now get their own little poems to accompany a preview of their starting abilities! They each now have 9 unique memories, which should be plenty to go along with the universal memories. Gonna prioritize enemy variety from here, but hopefully soon I can put up a Steam page and present a demo.

Changelog

v0.3.2 -> v0.3.3

Bug Fixes

- Fixed title theme fading too abruptly when entering character select menu.

Visuals

- Cards and memories that are being highlighted (e.g. due to being affected/triggered) are now spread apart.
- Darkened screen when menus are open.
- Inverted most pause menu button colours for better contrast.
- Made debuff AOE outlines more visible.

Audio

- Fixed wonky music compression.
- Changed timing of the motif that plays when starting a run.

Gameplay

- Added the ability to examine a character on the selection screen to see their profile and starting abilities.

Quality of Life

- When gaining items with a full inventory, you can now choose which items to discard.
- Clarified what counts as an attack on the enemy aggro tutorial.

Enemies

- Wood: Bookwraiths now randomize their ability cycle starting point, so it's less likely that every one of them is attacking at once.
- Metal: Steel Eaters now randomize their ability cycle starting point, so it's less likely that every one of them is debuffing at once.
