Major Changes New boss - Chiwa has been added. She’s still missing story implementation, which will be the focus of the next update. Vermillion Vixen Nia has been removed from the demo. (Change of plans, so she won’t be in the demo scope. Wait till the full release to see her aga
A boss rush gauntlet mode has been added. It’s a new mini-hub area that’ll let you tackle 5 bosses in a row, automatically skipping all story bits apart from the intro cutscenes (if any). If you die during the gauntlet, you will be sent back to this hub area. This may replace the
This update was supposed to come out at the start of the month, but one thing lead to another, and well… Redesigned most of the in-game HUD. Redesigned Jin and Kouta. Most of the elements are largely the same, but it’s just modelled better. Jin now has his own boss fight. (Althou
Reworked all hit animations. Rewrote the bulk of the main animation-related code. As a side effect, some animation locks related to getting hit have been changed. In general, it lasts a tiny bit longer now, due to it being tied to animation speed (affected by hitstop) vs unscaled
Complete overhaul of Kana's attacks and arena. She's now intended to be the first boss of the game instead of Louise. Disabled story mode. This will be the focus for the next update. Louise's defeat scene now has a new cutscene. Other bug fixes. Unfortunately, IRL work has been e
Complete overhaul of Louise’s attacks and mechanics. (Lance moveset is still missing some stuff, but the important bits are there!) In general, her animations should be easier to read... I hope... For now, she no longer has attacks to transition between weapons, and each weapon i
Added slow time effect upon parrying, stance break, and death. Fixed bugs relating to on-parry effects occurring more times than intended. Some visual tweaks. Parrying now makes enemies “forget” some of your moves. (This does not apply to parry response actions.) Additionally, st
Added a screen shake intensity setting. This defaults to 1x, and ranges from 0-10x, so please feel free to give yourself as much juice as you feel is necessary (this will probably be changed back to 0-1x with a default 0.5x in future xd) Increased screen shake intensity in genera
Tweaked movement code and configuration. The transition between directions should feel smoother now. Remade all running animations. (Walking animations and weapon-specific variants will have to wait for now. ) Changed Mist Form — Leaves behind a clone that deflects attacks tempor
Balance Changes: Reduced the stance regen delay across all bosses. Reduced stance regen across all characters in varying amounts. Greatly reduced player passive stance regen. Increased player stance regen from parrying. Parry damage has been slightly increased. The parry damage m
Tutorial has been reworked, and a new tutorial character has been added to help you train. Normal attack combo has been reanimated. The frame timings are mostly the same as before. Flow Reversal (Charged) now fires a projectile. 4th hit (Charged) of the attack combo now fires a p
Tweaks to Player Moveset: Rimefang now has a jump follow-up. This acts similarly to a regular jump, so you can chain it into any other aerial actions. Rimefang’s 2nd stage (uncharged) windup has been reduced. Rimefang’s 2nd stage minimum charge time has been reduced. You can stil
Reworked how the camera works when locked on: The camera now allows for targets to stand to the left or right of the screen, where previously it would always frame the target to the right of the screen. Rotation speed is now controlled by a bunch of parameters, but what this mean
Added a new attack for Lynette. Improved some VFX. Changed collisions in Lynette's arena.
Fixed a bug where characters would be placed incorrectly after returning from Lynette's boss fight. Fixed a bug where interactions would be unavailable upon sitting. (You will now also be able to re-trigger dialogue without having to get up again. )
Fixed dialogue controller focus. Added controller stick dead zone settings. Cursor now hides in menus again. The threshold for mouse movement to re-activate the cursor has been increased. Tweaked a few hitboxes and attacks. Tweaked VFX for double jumps. Added some more sounds to
Reworked how Nia's grab works. Previously : Heals 3 bigger chunks of HP during the grab. New: Heals 3 tiny chunks of HP during the grab, and adds a new status effect to herself that will heal her for the old amount over about 10s. This effect can be cancelled by hitting her.
Fixed an error with the dialogue camera when returning to title and loading back in-game. Fixed an error with dialogue spawning not assigning characters correctly. Slight tweaks to dialogue. In Boss Select mode, you can now ask for tips on how to fight each boss. You can verify t
Changed some more logic for NPC spawning. Hoping this fixes things. Slight tweak on Nia's level area. The actual fighting area is unaffected. Fixed main menu BGM not being removed when returning to title. You can verify the game files through Steam to force an update check.
Changed some logic for NPC spawning and dialogue to prevent black-screening. Fixed an issue where the black loading screen fade-in would not be removed on retry. I was able to reproduce these bugs occasionally on my Steam Deck, so it seems that my main development PC was just too
