Welcome to 0.4.2!


Thank you for your patience!

Here is a compiled list of all the updates, many of which were mentioned in previous devlogs, along with some new items.

[Major Updates]
-Brand New, fully animated Title Screen
-Completely Re-done lewd scene. You can find this new scene in the grove.
-Finished Scab, Acnea, and Orcosaurus sidequests. Completing it will get you a pixel lewd scene!
-An existing pixel lewd scene has an additional position added to it. You can find it while camping after the Orc Village.
-Updated UI for Buy / Sell / Inventory / etc
-Save system is completely revamped. You now have 5 slots to save in, and I have removed the ability to save from the pause menu. You now have to interact with an object in the world to save.
-Ability to go back to world map from any level.
-I used AI upscaling techniques and prompts to de-pixelate some backgrounds. Battles are still pixel, but Bust-Conversation scenes now have high-res backgrounds, so as not to contrast.
-There is now a better font for all text. It supports lots of languages, so expect localization soon.
-Replaced the old wooden blimp airship with a real one, completely custom. The new airship represents an advanced civilization, not yet encountered in HH. This includes Rhed's minigame where you can see the massive new deck.
-Keymapping’s have been heavily cleaned up.
-You can now toggle keyprompts between controller and keyboard
-Changed Gossamer Luna (werewolf town) from a side view explorative to a top-down explorative to match the rest of the game. You can now freely roam --Gossamer Luna and talk to the wolves without having to leave and come back

[Minor Updates]
-Less annoying UI sounds.
-You can now view your time played and other stats when selecting a save slot.
-Refactored ALOT of tiles in the name of performance. I hated doing this btw.
-Removed mouse functionality. Everybody hated it anyway.
-Gallery got some improvements.
-A lewd scene in Lv4 got some new SFX.
-Pausing the game now disables layer motion instead of changing game speed.
-Lorestone text has been modified...again.
-There is a new way to display the controls. Controller support is now optimized, and you can change the input prompts between Keyboard and Controller.
-Fixed a bug that softlocked the game if Dog fell down, off the screen.
-Fixed a bug that made replaying Level 8 softlocked and unplayable.
-Changed the ship's "Torches" To Obelisks, and the Obelisk to a large Azulite.
-Removed the Lewd UI from some of the old bonus scenes. This reduced resources and increases performance for the entire game, believe it or not.  The old bonus scenes are still available just the same, but some features such as zoom is removed.
-Added an "examine" context prompt to all items that are interactable. Chests excluded.
-Sped up the dialogue menus to display instantly.
-Removed lots of old, unused assets
-Various code cleaned up and refactored because I’m a little better at shit now.
-Made some text during H scenes more readable
-Fixed some issues where busts did not show during conversation. 
-Refactored the way that pause/inventory menu pops up.
-Fixed an issue where Rhed would fly to a weird spot in battle scenes
-Added an audio queu when new new levels pop up on world map
-Removed unnecessary buttons from world map
-Tutorials now show correct prompts for new button layout
-Fixed a display priority problem in Orc Villa
-Removed lewd UI from old H scenes. They are now much more straightforward
-Lowered difficulty or OOTA fight.
-Fixed an issue where "End of Demo" text show before end of demo.
-Fixed a video studder issue during cave attack scene
-New Airship deck looks much better. Also, nice crystal effects.
-Changed the text color during some scenes so that it is more visible.
-Fixed some voice blips that were improperly placed
-Removed some context keys from World map . They were useless.
-Fixed some of the tutorial prompts. I will probably have to do this again soon, since localization is going to be a thing.
-Changed some tile priories that caused Luccia to appear under the tiles inappropriately.
-Fixed an issue that caused Luccia's Orc Skin not to toggle when in a lewd scene
-Fixed some wall clip tile issues.
-Fixed an issue where Dog's lines at the beginning of his platforming level did not display.
-Rhed now talks to a new character appropriately during his ship rescue level
-Removed the Slime character that traded stuff. Kyr is so much better anyway.
