Hello everyone,
thank you for your patience and support. I'm glad to announce that I managed to fix a great number of issues you have reported in the past weeks. I'm the only developer of this game, so it might take a little while to push major updates, but I'm always listening so feel free to reach out! The easiest way to send feedback is via our Discord server.
PATCH NOTES v.1.3
✨ General:
- (!) Renamed some Difficulty modes and their description to give a better idea of the game experience and to remove stigma associated with a lower difficulty. In short, “Easy” has been renamed to “Relax”, and “Normal” to “Classic”. The four Difficulties in PotMS now are Story, Relax, Classic and Hardcore.
- The color of text in messages has been enhanced to be more consistent.
⌛ Game balance:
- (!) Damage dealt by enemies in later chapters of the game has been slightly adjusted.
- Hellios will now give Faratras 3000 G (in addition to Vulneraries and Phoenix Drops) upon joining your party in Chapter 2.
- Hellios now starts the game with a Leather Vest equipped.
- Balanced the Mana requirements to unlock some of Rya’s skills.
- Rearranged the order in which Nefertiti uses her attacks, so that her buffs don’t get reset on the same turn.
- Changed the nutritional value of “Fa’s Special” from 7 to 6 (three apples).
👾 Game Fixes:
- (!) Fixed a bug that caused the game to softlock upon left-clicking very fast between the move selection screens of your characters.
- (!) Fixed a rare bug that corrupted your party upon defeating Squinking with secondary effects (poison, Adjutants, or Ultima skills) right after it summoned its Golden Squink underlings.
- You will now be able to immediately report the “potato quest” in Chapter 4 if you have already obtained potatoes in the forest before.
- The image assigned to a tutorial in Chapter 5 will now display correctly.
- The dialogue with the male guard in Chapter 8 during the stealth segment has been fixed and should now work properly.
- Triggering a Game Over by talking to the guards in Chapter 8 now works as intended.
- Inspecting the barrels in Chapter 8 before talking to Scott won’t trigger the green check (on cursor hover) anymore.
- Inspecting the vase after the female guard in Chapter 8 has returned home won’t mention the guard anymore.
- The transactions to enter the Hot Springs in Chapter 8 now work as intended and you won’t be charged with 5000 G anymore if you completed the Squinking quest and arrived before 5:05 PM.
- Changed some dialogue lines in Astra’s house so that it’s more obvious that Shiori already knew her, especially if you have also triggered her Legendary Hero cutscene in Chapter 8.
- Rearranged the enemies in a battle in Chapter 9 so that a foe in the rear isn’t covered by the Boarshroom anymore, making it easier to select the targets.
- Suzaku’s model won’t appear suddenly anymore but will fade properly in one of his supports with Faratras in the “postgame”.
- Fixed a glitch that changed Suzaku’s Max MP to 0 after a certain event in the story.
- Fixed 18 typos.
- Fixed other minor issues like “page flip sounds” not playing after a few select messages in the game.
That's all for now!
Please know that I'm always reading your messages and I hope to improve the game even further in the future, while also working on my second game.
Some changes might not be doable at the moment, or might take a long time before they are implemented, but they definitely are in my to-do list!
Thank you for your support, and have a great day!
- Alfred
