Patch 3.5.1
Various tweaks to animations and motions New animations added for some skills Normal attack is now split into two possibilities: strikes (vulnerable to spiky enemies, steals more mana) and projectiles (able to hit flying enemies, bounces off shields, less mana gain than strike).
Various tweaks to animations and motions
New animations added for some skills
Normal attack is now split into two possibilities: strikes (vulnerable to spiky enemies, steals more mana) and projectiles (able to hit flying enemies, bounces off shields, less mana gain than strike). The input pressed determines the outcome.
Shield mechanics added. Shields nullify all damage once and then are destroyed.
Added new enemy to Airship: V-Drone.
Added outside battles to Airship
Added a new mechanic to Brawn boss fight
New mechanic: StarTokens. Super Skills must expend a StarToken to be used. The more Tokens expended for the super, the stronger it is and the more effects available. Tokens can be accrued by parrying, using items or landing criticals. Only 3 can be held at once and they persist across battles.
Focus command now uses old normal attack die/coin mechanics.
Wait command removed. Defend/Guard serve the same purpose.
Skills now have differing slot sizes, ranging from 1 to 4.
Changed around some stats to make battles quicker.
Added some experimental jumping mechanics.
Probably a bunch of other things I can't remember.
Probably a bunch of new bugs accidentally.

I guess this is kinda a big patch…it wasn’t supposed to be this big, but I was able to quickly fix a lot of things that bothered me and also add new content because I can’t help myself.
Adjusted sprites in the key cutscene because I hated how May’s tummy looked.
Finally fixed the stupid Grab bug, though I’m still not 100% certain why it happens. Rest in piss, Corpsbot bug. Finally.
Adjusted special stage anti-softlock region slightly
SwordArm’s arrow attack easier and uses Raz’s proper sprites
Comedian now can debuff enemies
RudeBoy state renamed to Locked-On and given new animation
Crash now uses proper sideview motions
Free Mode tutorial added to Airship
Solomon bribe scene now has the correct background
Maylee’s low health attack buff both nerfed and buffed. It kicks in at 50% HP instead of at ANY HP loss but the returns are low and snowball quickly until she does double damage at 1 HP. No longer applies to normal attack, so she can’t one shot bosses with a normal attack crit anymore (at least not because of her special buff)
Zora’s skills had many animation changes
Free Mode skills now should all look consistent where applicable (e.g not the Airship or Digital Playground spike trap).
New enemy: Testudo. Turtle enemy that primarily uses Free Mode skills
Adjusted Neklaw slash/punch animations
New flame animations in battle
New skill for Yuuzal: StarBomb
Reworked skill for Ruby: 6pack
New skill for Maylee: GuillotineKick
New skill for Maylee: BrokeElevator
Maylee can now use items while Flying
Buffed SwitchBlade. Now has high crit chance but low damage otherwise.
Added character specific tutorial battles
Fixed issues with Edge2’s row swap attack
Added some extra tutorials
New animations for several skills
New enemy type: Testudo. Only uses free mode attacks.
I spent a lot of time on this one, so I can't really remember all the changes I made....

Patch 3.2.0
Big graphical update. I didn’t expect to spend so much time on this one.
★ ★ ★ Airship ★ ★ ★
Added more tutorial-y encounters.
Added some pitfall warnings on Alto where the floor and ceiling tiles seemed similar
Razizal’s skills streamlined and animations updated
SwordArm was locked to using a single skill instead of the like 5 other ones it has
★ ★ ★ Digital Playground★ ★ ★
Relics now only have stat alterations if it is part of their effect. I was smoking crack before.
Skills no longer affect stats besides enhancer skills. Again, I was smoking crack.
Added disclaimer that demo has no story since everyone keeps bugging me about there being no dang story IM SORRY ITS IN THE FULL GAME DAWG WHO OUT HERE PLAYIN DEMOS FOR THE STORY
Removed one of May’s fly skills because it was pretty pointless, but gave her the ability to use the normal attack while flying and she can also hit flying foes with it
Removed some skills that were rather useless/need reworking
★ ★ ★ Arizal Mode★ ★ ★
Arizal DIDN’T get updated sprites lmao
★ ★ ★ General★ ★ ★
Graphical update! I completely redid all 100 sprite sheets (except Arizal, fuck that guy) that were x2 scaled instead of x3. Which entailed actually redrawing all of them from scratch. Yes, I am insane. Ari’s will be updated in either a later patch or probably just in the full game because I don’t feel like redrawing all of this shit and he’s not even a regular character
Adjustments to animations and skills in order to accommodate the new sprites.
Adjusted title so the Z is more readable
Redid tutorials with new sprites and added extra tutorial for action commands
Free Mode skills now have a star that represents the hitbox, so despite the large difference in sizes between Yu and Ruby, everyone has the same hitbox
UI adjustments
Expanded playable area a bit more. Had to drastically change up the battle status faces, but I think the space trade off is worth it.
Updated some animations to reflect the new placements of UI elements
DeathCaps shouldn’t immediately one shot you, at least if you encounter them without triggering an Ananita tranformation
Rearranged some enemy battle placements
★ ★ ★ Known Issues★ ★ ★
Possibly some graphical leftovers remain or some jank because of resized sprites
Neklaw’s slash attack seems like you wouldn’t be able to jump over it now, I’ll have to adjust the animation
I believe Edge 2’s row swapping attack might be janky because I’ve changed the positions so many times. I also need to change it to account for dead party members
SwordArm’s “You Missed” animation uses Raz’s old sprites
Corpsbot cannot be grabbed the first turn the command is available. This bug has been around for so damn long, it’s got VIP points. This is the Michael Jordan of KazaK bugs. I can never fix this one, stupid ass bug
Solomon’s bribe scene is missing a background, but I kinda vibe with how it looks tbh
In some scenarios, the START button on gamepads stops working. A reset will fix it though.
The special stage has a teleport event that is a bit too aggressive on the last turn of both laps
I think the Avenger battle event can possibly be disabled

Patch 3.0.2
Substantial update this time, probably the largest in terms of content since the Airship update. I don’t think I’m adding any further content than this for the demo, so we’re going up to 3.0 even though I made title assets for 2.9.8 and 2.9.9 but FUCK em. Everything else will jus

Listen well, will you marry me? Not now boy. Are you well in the suffering? You’ve been the most gracious of hosts and I may be invited but I’m not coming in

New animation for full mana meter
Performance improvements/stabilization. Give me a stable fps on map and in battle or give me death

Second half of patches and fixes and balancing.
★★★Airship★★★
Fixed issue with SwordArm not having sfx for one of it's attacks
Fixed Brain using the wrong action prompt on her one single attack
Fixed erroneous transfer to Stratus from Nimbus if player ran out of time in the exploding lower deck
★★★Digital Playground★★★
Added two shortcuts, one in 2nd hall and one in 4th hall.
Fixed being able to move at the start of the special stage.
Fixed special stage softlocks caused by hugging walls. You might still be able to get yourself stuck if you try hard enough though...
Fixed Solomon accomplishments unlocking incorrectly
Practice dummies revamped and now can do practice jump and deflect attacks or be set to not move at all.
Fixed Yuuzal being able to appear despite ejection from the field via Edge's super
Buffed Solomon's health slightly
Added instakill for Regulators and Talpy
Added hint items to key item menu
New enemy: Pinbird. They do not appear on the overworld because I was too lazy to make a sprite...but they're in mobs
Amanitas gained two new moves
DeathCaps are slightly less bullshit. They die in 3 turns, hang in there brudda.
Avenger state works correctly now.
★★★Arizal Mode★★★
Added extra life crystals
★★★General★★★
Changed around some animations for better game feel
Many enemies have new and improved telegraphs and much more lenient dodge windows
Universally slowed down projectile attacks
★★★Known Bugs To Be Fixed In The Other Half★★★
Grab command added during Brawn fight is unusable for the first turn.
Actors can jump/deflect during some unintended moments/dialog. Uh....we'll call it a feature.
Occasional sprite ghosting while dashing on map. Wacky afterimages.
Brain's voice-to-text speech is based on the player's computer settings. Not a bug, but just funny to me
This update has less fixes but contains what I feel are the more important ones: making the dodge/deflect windows more lenient. Combat should feel much better now. 3.0 is the next and final demo patch, which will come out sooner or later depending on if any new or major bugs are discovered.
If you played the game, please fill out the feedback form! This game would suck major ass if I didn't have any feedback!

Patch 2.7 You Can (Not) Update

NEW LEVEL: Airship. Not exactly new, but it's back in the game again, though it's significantly changed. Level has two end bosses, though one is more of a mini-game than anything. There are three possible endings depending on player's actions.
NEW CHARACTER: Starknight Razizal, a fully maxed out character playable in the Airship level. Again...not REALLY new, but yeah. She's really strong compared to the three idiots, so I would recommend the Airship level for people that are unfamiliar with Mario & Luigi/Expedition 33 type of games.
Added a fifth button to Arrow Timed Attack skills and updated graphic.
Fixed bug with Animated SV Enemies displaying the entire new spritesheet whenever a swap occurred.
Adjustments made to remaining projectiles that were not carried over to the new method.
No one would even notice, but changed level select flashing animation to be an actual in-game animation instead of it being handled by event commands like a stupid idiot.
Learned that the animation database has a limit of 1K and I'm already at 900 and this is just the demo, ruh-roe.
Sped up some battle animations that didn't quite jive with the flow of battle.
Changed "abnormal" animations for characters that are afflicted with states in order to better differentiate the counterattack motions and abnormal motions.
Added battle start animations because I was watching Kirby Megaton Punch videos and I thought Kirby blowing kisses was cute so I went through all the trouble of added it in. This is how most additions happen, just stupid, spontaneous bullshit.
Added new profile images for the skill menu.
Added a new tier system to jumps, allowing for more dynamic mapping. I don't know why I worded that like an employee evaluation.
To the above point...I don't think I actually showcase this anywhere...just trust me bro
Simplified some enemy movesets.
Added "Enemy Report" to main menu. Battle foes to learn stupid lore descriptions.
Added additional achievements.
Probably a lot of other bullshit fixed too, I don't know. This is a big ass update.
All that needs to be done now is to finish the unlockable level and then this demo can kiss my ass.

(From 2.5 patch)
New Boss - Solomon
New effects on some skills
New events and dialog added
General bug fixes
Adjusted update time on battle hud in order to increase performance and stabilize frame rate.
.....um, I can't remember what all is actually different besides the obvious boss addition.
(From 2.6 patch)
Added a fifth button to Arrow Timed Attacks
Adjusted Maylee's timed attack commands to utilize new button
NEW: All actors now use their specified button for timed hits and in their skills instead of all using the same button (except for normal attacks, because that seems like it would be annoying).
Improved sprites for Arrow Timed Attacks
Completely reworked Final Hall area. Digital Playground should more or less be complete unless I decide to add more cutscenes or interactables or something.
Added ability to jump 1 tile farther while dashing. Don't need to be moving to activate the long jump, just holding DASH is enough.
Added Skill Point collectables on map because why not.
Restored camera resets that were supposed to occur on the map after a fall or jumping on Morningstars.
Added an additional way to end Solomon fight.
Fixed a skill of Solomon's that could display the projectile strangely if a party member has died.
Solomon dances slightly less. Only slightly.
Slightly sped up some of Solomon's bullet hell skills.
Assuming there's no glaring bugs or issues with this patch, I'll work on pushing out a patch that brings the Airship level back and then finally I'll work on the final playable character's stuff and that should do it for demo improvements. Goal is to finish completely by the end of the year.
