From my perspective it seems like most people are enjoying the game, there is just some QoL issues, and the beginning can be overwhelming with all the mechanics dumped on you really fast especially if you chose MEDIUM/ADVENTURER mode expecting a less punishing time and still got hit hard with survival horror that may been too intense for you. So I’ll be doing my best to address lots of that in this patch.
My next patch will be adding some more keybinding stuff and options like making sprint a toggle, and turning off the character voice sounds.
Now shows sanity effect passives on all modes after it has triggered at least once on a character.
Now allows pressing deselect to exit menus with [nevermind/no/quit] option. (Shop, checkpoint, upgrade, cosmic, dummy, fight)
When explaining passives in battle it now highlights the unit type that is being explained.
Switching between detailed status lists is now manual rather than a wait time. Also displays if you have more status effects to tab through.
When characters have many status effects all at once and it can be hard to track everything. So the status effects are now ordered to show all positive effects -> negative effects | stat changes -> length-based effects -> stack-based effects.
Battle unit overloaded status effects bar/list now rotate slower so you have more time to see/read them. [2 -> 3 seconds]
Added when a stack is reduced such as DODGE / BLOCK / HAZARD / COUNTER the status effect icon flashes red briefly after impact to make them easier to track and understand they are affecting battle.
Made stat buffs/debuffs create a new status that evens out the two values and round length. So if you get accuracy +35 and -25 they will combine for +10.
Some were confused by the Smiler dodging their attacks. So now when you normally miss an attack it shows MISS but when an attack is dodged by a status effect or passives it shows DODGE.
During dialogue character portraits are now faded/greyed out if there are two active and they are not the person who is currently talking.
During dialogue the speaker’s name is now bold.
On keyboard you can now show any menu tab you want by pressing 1-7 in the overworld as well as when the menu is open and you’re selecting a tab. On controller the previous mini-map key now opens the full map, and the mini-map toggle was changed to the right shoulder trigger. (I'll be adding rebinding for these in the future)
Checkpoint now displays which was the last save slot you saved to and also auto jumps to it in the selector when choosing to save.
Fixed an issue that caused controllers to not keep crouching/sprinting while holding them through interactions and area transitions.
Fixed battle softlock when you cancel your action and the first party member cannot act.
