Week 21 : Patch 0.9.3 - Game Ending


More Accessible To New Players

I added even more changes to make the game easier for new players. First, when it comes to AI:

AL = Astral Link.

  • AI level 1 AL = no sacrifice and no evolution.
  • AI level 2 AL = Sacrifice no evolution.
  • AI level 3 AL = evolution and no sacrifice.
  • AI level 4 & 5 AL = evolution and sacrifice.

The second one is related to the required level to access each Astral Link level. Now it's a lot easier to access
the next levels which makes farming gold a lot easier too.

Astral Link 5

All missions can be completed now and Mephisto's last Astral Link level now has a different sprite and OST. The credits roll right after you win against him.

Some Astral Link level 5 aren't accessible directly, they require beating someone else first. This is to give a sense of a "story mode", even if there isn't one.

Alright, now that the game is complete, I can finally rest a little bit. The last 6 months or so have been crazy.
