Developer Note:
Last update before release! Focus for July has been knocking out some much-needed revamps & enhancements for Waifu Tuber and Waifu Fish. The assets were finally completed for the two Monster Series waifu, "Coral" and "Kugi" who are now obtainable in-game as well.
Other than that, it's been a matter of going down the to-do list and checking stuff off. The Battle Pass system had been started a long time ago, and it was time to finish it! It's an easy, passive way to get some good stuff, with a "prize" Waifu at the end. Also, no FOMO! Battle Passes are always going to be available!
Changes:
Fixed banners not scrolling down all the way (yay rounding error)
Waifu Survivor Quest: Capped weapon "Amount" per waifu.
Waifu Survivor: Changed "Homing" behavior to bounce off non-target enemies instead of "cutting" through them.
Waifu Tuber changes:
- Revamped the UI/UX of the minigame; the Waifu is now on a "phone screen" (whatever that is!), and interactable buttons along the bottom offer new mechanics[/p]
- Added clothing countdown timer bars; visually shows how long until clothing options are shown, and then how long the clothes are shown.
- A "Goblin Raid" will happen around 100% stress. Chat will flood with "bad" messages which cause a spike in stress. A Guard/Lancer is vital! Be sure to extinguish the fire on the Castle icon as well!
- Picking the correct clothing has a chance to enable the "HYPE!" button (chance increases with every good pick). When ready, a "dancing cat" will appear on the center icon in the app-bar. Pressing it will spike total viewers and generate a burst of good chat. It adds a little of fatigue, however!
- When fatigue is about 75%, the "repair" button will be enabled. It's a one-time use which will recover fatigue and cut stress in half. Time its use carefully!
- Every 5-20 seconds, the active waifu can "chat" with...chat! Once active in the app-bar, pressing it will cause some good effects at the cost of some fatigue.
- Adjusted chat; added more lines for the Markov generator to chew on. The full chat appears on the "phone", and the large chatbox now only shows action messages.
- Follower milestones have been added. The target increases exponentionally, but when it happens, a message will appear in chat, and donation chance will increase.
- Random sub-goal objectives appear above the app-bar. Complete the objective to get the reward!
Waifu Fish changes:
- A "tackle" screen has replaced the bait-only selection screen. Can change fishing rod, line, and bait.[/p]
- Several new fishing poles have been added. They have different stats, and the better ones require progression.
- Fishing line is available from the Marketplace, however higher qualities require progression.
- Fishing mechanics have been tuned for a better experience.
- "Coral" is now catchable from the 5th "treasure" on the Ocean map.
- Fish shadows have been added, which will represent fish (can still "catch" without bait being on one though!)
Portraits now update when injuries are healed.
Battle Passes available in Offline mode as well.
Battle Pass rewards will be given per milestone (every 1000 points, ends at 10000 total).
Battle Pass points reward amount increased (earned from Quests and World Boss attempts)
Ambassador: Added proper controller glyphs and button mapping
Storybook: Show "Autoplaying" text when auto is active
New:
Portrait borders added; they're visible borders for each player's avatar waifu. They can be changed through Profile > Change Portrait Frame.
- "Border" portrait is available in the Marketplace Items for 1000 currency.- "Gilded" portrait is found in the Marketplace Guild for 100 guild coins.
- "Toothy" portrait is in Marketplace Warband for 10000 war coins.
- "Hearts" portrait is in the "BP ALPHA" Battle Pass
Added "Fishing Journal", accessible through Waifu Fish game and also School Library. Records details of caught fish.
The Monster Series Waifu, "Coral" has been given a proper skin and clothing. She's obtainable from October's "Monster Series" Banner as well as Waifu Fishing mini-game.
The Monster Series waifu, "Kugi" completed properly. She charges at you with her large spiked shield. Can be obtained in the "October Monster Series" banner pool and "BP ALPHA".
Added new Waifu banner for December: "Christmas Elf"
Character Details: Added a "Suggested" box for next steps to make the Waifu stronger. This should help with guiding players what to focus on next.
Guild Shop (Marketplace) is now stocked with some items and consumables. Spend wisely, as Guild Coins are hard to come by!
New Skill: Boss: Charm - "steal" a waifu, based off Bond; complete failure if bond is maxed
New Skill: Lava: "Burn" - endless DoT (not as damaging as Poison/Plague, but doesn't expire)
New Skill: Lava: "Cleave" - Damage that exceeds remaining health is applied to random opponent (if exists)
New Skill: Lightning: "Hide" - Can't be targeted (unless last one left)
New Skill: Sky: Trip - make target do faint animation, reset activation
Added "Lost Princess" Event; this will be active from August 31st through September 30th.
