Butterfly Dream 1.4.0 Update——Added progression system and new weapon

Localization Update

1. Full localization now supports 14 languages, covering all in-game text and CG cinematics.

Gameplay & Items

1. New progression system: Philosopher’s Stones. These shards are scattered across the map; collect them and use the new “Equivalent Exchange” option at any Lantern to consume stones for permanent upgrades. Warning: world-item placement was reworked to accommodate this feature; older saves that already picked up certain objects may be unable to collect every stone—we apologize for the inconvenience.

2. New item: Homunculus Flask. This sinister vessel grants immense power while continuously burning the wielder’s soul as fuel.

3. New item: Throwing Knife. Toss it to lure or stagger foes; a well-timed counter-throw can produce devastating results.

4. Soul prices for several statue-shop items adjusted; all weapons are now cheaper.

Weapons

1. New weapon: Bow, available at the statue shop.

Hero Feel & Combat

1. Camera angle refined for smoother, more comfortable control.

2. Camera collision improved—corners no longer snag the view.

3. Occlusion silhouette added: when the hero is hidden behind objects or large monsters, a gray outline keeps them visible.

4. Heavy weapons and dual blades can now perform executions.

5. The protagonist starts with empty hands; weapons auto-equip on pickup.

Enemies

1. Combat polish: werewolf leap height, priest great-spin wind-up, priest phase-2 & werewolf grab parry timing, scarecrow execution/back-stab windows, Valenbair phase-2 VFX, etc.

2. Increased both variety and drop-rate of enemy loot.

3. Raised early-game soul drops from enemies.

4. Enemy loot spawn point lowered to prevent items being knocked away.

Other

1. Opening cinematic now auto-skips after playback.

Bug Fixes

1. Fixed hero turn-around animation flicker.

2. Fixed combat module loss when unequipping left-hand weapon while unarmed.

3. Fixed “Interact” and “Dot” UI lingering indefinitely.

4. Fixed enemies standing back up after execution death.

5. Fixed sliding animation when running unarmed.

6. Fixed Valenbair phase-2 occasionally exiting combat at full health.
