Character autosaves from Version 0.12 and earlier cannot be loaded in this version.
- Added a save deletion button to the Settings menu.
- Added fullscreen and windowed display options.
- Added Esc and other keyboard shortcuts.
- Reworked the entire pill-use process. Pills will no longer be consumed when you have insufficient stock, do not meet the cultivation requirement, are in an invalid location, or have no valid target.
- “Qi-Gathering Palm,” the Blood Spiritual Root’s starting divine ability, is now a Blood-type ability. Its Spiritual Energy cost has been reduced, and it now inflicts minor Bleeding while providing brief health regeneration.
- After reaching Foundation Establishment, players must now explicitly choose a location for their cave dwelling. The current continent and coordinates are displayed, and players may cancel, travel elsewhere, and choose again.
- The identities, locations, and portraits of randomly generated wandering NPCs are now stored in character saves. After loading a save, Dao Companions, masters, disciples, and acquaintances will no longer turn into completely different people.
- Population constraints have been added to NPC cultivation breakthroughs, greatly reducing the number of Spirit Transformation cultivators appearing after extended play.
- Wang Mengmeng and Wang Mengmeng are no longer available for private trading.
- Added exclusive portraits for six key NPCs: Wang Mengmeng, Dazhuang, the White-Browed Daoist, Leng Ningshuang, Liao Bingxiang, and Su Xiaoman. These portraits are now used in story events, character profiles, and humanoid combat.
- Character creation now follows this order: “Daoist Name → Spiritual Root → Destiny → Portrait.”
- Spiritual Roots and Destinies can now be rerolled independently without limits. Rerolling your Destiny will not change a confirmed Spiritual Root.
- Personality is now generated in the same roll as Destiny attributes such as Comprehension and Charisma.
- Long periods of secluded cultivation now feature a “Passage of Time” transition and progress feedback, reducing the appearance of the game freezing while monthly calculations are processed in the background.
Work in Progress and Known Issues
- The M-key map, artifact riding/flight after Foundation Establishment, basic sect cultivation techniques, and explanations for disciple advancement are not yet complete.
- Delivery quest deadlines, formation guidance in secret realms, consecutive/batch pill consumption, and feedback for non-combat pills will continue to be improved.
- Some NPCs may remain at the peak of a cultivation realm for extended periods. Breakthrough distribution will be adjusted further.
- The Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment Pill currently has no normally accessible source.
- An issue preventing story events from triggering after Foundation Establishment is currently being fixed.
