Hello everyone,
here's the second part of our anniversary celebration!
We just released v.2.0 a few days ago, but we're already here with v.2.1!
Here's the detailed change log for v.2.1:
⭐ New content:
- ❗Added some voice clips to minor dialogues in Chapters 6-7-8-9.
- Added SFX to some attacks that were missing them before, and improved the SFX of a few other attacks.
- The drink displayed on the Inventory screen will change according to the current chapter and location: coffee for Hoikade, beer for Lazulis, wine for Magnolia, hot tea with marshmallows for Pylum, cold hybiscus tea for Midbar.
🍀 Quality of Life improvements:
- ❗An exclamation mark now appears when there are new conversations available in the camp.
- You will now see how much Gold you have already donated to Luckos in the donation menu.
- You can't sell Soul Dust or Venom in Chapter 8 anymore, since they're needed to complete some quests.
- You can't prepare Phoenix Tears at the camp in Chapter 8 anymore, since "Venom" is one of the required materials, which is also needed for a quest in the same chapter.
- Added a checkpoint in the Encampment during the second day of Chapter 8.
⚖️ Game balance:
- ❗Mana-shredding enemy skills will deal way more damage now. Among these, "Spirit Fission" will also have a chance of inflicting Poison.
- Scarablades will start using Wide Slash from Chapter 7. Samuwraiths will have a chance of using Wide Slash as well.
- Improved the damage and chance of inflicting status ailments of single-target enemy skills after Chapter 7.
- Tacitus will now Resist all damage when he's calm, and he'll be Weak to all attacks when he's furious.
👾 Other fixes:
- ❗Fixed a bug where the game would freeze if a status condition or Adjutant acted immediately after Faratras, after she wasn't able to cast her spell due to a lack of MP.
- Fixed an issue where the arrow used to navigate the Food inventory would disappear after eating something and then canceling the selection.
- Fixed an issue where the name of Adjutants was displayed improperly on empty slots when the player tried to un-deploy them.
- Fixed a rare bug in Ch.7 about the behavior of a Boarshroom on the map.
- "Resist!" will appear when you hit shielded enemies & bosses now.
- "Resist!" won't appear for Poison damage anymore if the character is shielded.
- Corrected an error in the enemy's battle behavior that didn't allow them to use certain skills under some very rare circumstances.
- Fixed an issue where the "evil font" of the message box would revert to white after opening the Pause Menu mid-sentence.
- The foliage of a tree on the map of ch.7 no longer covers the chibi character improperly.
- Fixed some typos in the Italian script.
- Changed a detail on Shiori's portrait in the Victory Screen after a certain chapter.
- The time & gold icons will now disappear properly upon refusing to donate gold to Luckos.
- Fixed a very rare, faulty interaction between the time & gold display and the Pause Menu in Chapter 8.
- Faratras' portrait was missing from a line she said during Ceapana's recruitment scene in Chapter 8.

✅ Known issue:
- There are 3 scripted bosses in the game (that aren't on a Tactical Map). If you saved in front of one of these bosses in version 1.3 or earlier, then after updating to version 2.0 (or later) you might not be able to challenge them anymore. This is a side effect to the recent "Restart Boss Fight" feature that was added in v.2.0. In the rare case you have an old save in those specific locations, it's advised to load another save file and just progress to the boss scene in v.2.0 (or later).
➡️ Next steps:
- I will release another minor update soon with a few balance changes for the final chapters of the game.
- Later this year, I will release a big update! Among other changes, it will include: New Game+, Steam Overlay and Achievements.
That's all for today!
As usual, thank you so much for following the development of Path of the Midnight Sun.
Our studio has a lot to show this year, so I hope you will stick around!
I wish you all the best. ⭐
