Hello, Farians.
I have a smaller update being deployed today, that addresses a few of the leftover bugs in the game. Also, a brand new opening cutscene!
1.) New Cutscene
Let's start with this, shall we?
The opening cutscene of the game is a little "tame", so to speak. I'm very much the sort of person who appreciates a slow-boil. I like stories that take time to get established, and the same goes for characters that drive such tales.
Of course, there are those who think such an approach is boring. And that's fair criticism. But I decided to create an opening cutscene that is a lot more meatier. Many of the scenes allude to the closing events of FARIA: Starfall's ending, redone in 3D (Spiritbird starts off before Starfall).
Starfall's Ending: Reclamation of Fort Solitude (which is lost after Renee leaves with the Heart) with Highlander, Knight Ari, Wavemace, Ivy, Baldrick, Xander, Skargron and the armies of The Legion of Steel, Flames of Liberty, Rangers of the Song, Knights of Eternity and Protectors Guild right before the Black Star comes and stars fall.
Also, Blackheart breaks the Aural Mirror, trapping Skye and Lollipop --somewhere-- and leaves Princess Luna, Gob, Fiona, and Kristian with the Mekolo Demons (but are later saved by Zula).
What happens with the Fellowship of the Heart (Renee, Sarah, Bear, Linda, Thaddeus and Alvea) and their deliverance of the Heart of the World is not touched upon, however.
Anyway, this was such a good idea! While it does not contribute much to the grander scheme of this game's development, it's a lot more interesting than what it's like currently.
It's not perfect, but it's much better and will most likely see further improvements in the future when I have more assets and recreations of certain Starfall stuff in 3D.
2.) Accessory Fixes
Have you spent a good deal of money at Treasures of the World for an accessory, only to find that it doesn't work as advertised? Well, worry no longer!
All accessories should be working as intended now, with updated descriptions and revised prices.
3.) Misc Fixes
You know the dance. I know there's a bunch of other things, but I didn't list them!
