Bestiary, battle animations and more!


We finally have all the battle animations ready! This update took a while because I quite literally had no idea how to make most of those animations, so I had to dive into hours of internet tutorials and the good old trial and error. That said, the battles should be infinitely more engaging without the bad 3 frame animations and all those place holders flying left and right!

Another big change is the addition of a bestiary where you can see enemy info both inside and outside battle. Unfortunatelly this change is incompatible with old saves, so they will crash the game in this version, but this is a game changer for this game's health going foward.

Here is the full change log:

  • Added a "Bestiary" option to the menu by Venka
  • You can also see the enemy info during battle
  • Battle VFX overall. All the basic animations were added, changing all the old ones to more competent animations
  • All the Hunter's Ammo were rebalanced to still amount to a strong physical character, but not physically stronger than the Warrior class with high investment
  • Some edits in the battle UI
  • Princess Nymph's sprite completely redrawn with some differences in the design
  • The Cultist's healing price now properly updates after you beat a boss
  • Tsuchinoko's spell is changed to the new earth spell "Emerging Earth"
  • Damaging skills now have the base power in the description
  • Arousal's effect now last from 2 to 6 turns
  • Infatuation's effect now last from 2 to 3 turns
  • Bind's effect now last from 3 to 4 turns
  • Freeze's effect now last from 4 to 8 turns. It also makes you weak to fire attribute
  • Fear no longer let you fall asleep
  • Loneliness makes you weak to dark attribute
  • You can no longer freeze while burned, but the oposite can still happen
  • Decaying characters cannot be affected by poison or bleed
  • Fixed Decay's lack of icons
  • Added other miscellaneous icons
  • When you use Freezing Light, the game no longer says "... casts Banishing Light!"
  • Wave Dance changed to a Spell
  • Cursed Treasure added
  • Magic Paper added
  • Minor enemy rebalancing done
  • More NPCs added to the existing dungeons

That's it! Rather than shoving in more content, this update aims to make what is already here more enjoyable to play while also offering the players reasonable tools to keep up with the game's challenge.
