Hello, beta testers! We've been closely reviewing your progress so far, and we are pleased to announce quite a few changes based on our observations. [h3]Improvements[/h3] [list] [*]The game will now memorize the last skill slot you used during battles. [*]You will now get bonus EXP for beating higher level opponents. [*]Battles will yield many more coins. [*]The shops have been visually revamped. [*]We've tweaked the overall difficulty of Drake Isles onwards. [*]Added sound effects to the Warpstone teleportation, and also updated its animation. [*]The "demotivated" status effect used to last indefinitely. Now it lasts 2-4 turns. [*]We've moved Trebly's second skill from level 8 to 7 as it took too long for new players to learn a new skill. We will also review and improve the slowness of skill-learning in general. [*]Some storage consoles outside of Healing Centers were not obvious. We have added an icon on top of them. [/list] [h3]Bug fixes[/h3] [list] [*]If you progress a lot in the story, certain monsters can become undiscoverable. This update ensures that they remain no matter how much you progress. [*]The low health sound sometimes played before your HP bar actually got red. [*]The playtime counter was being interrupted during battles, so the time logged in your profile is inaccurate. You'll have to check your Steam profile for a better estimate of your gameplay time. [*]A small portion of Ignitia had no encounters. [*]Gradow was completely undiscoverable. it has been added now. [*]Secondary status ailments such as "frail" did not increase your capture chance. [*]When replacing a skill with a new one, they didn't actually swap. Instead, the old skill was removed and then the new skill added to the top of the list. [*]A few items were unreachable. [*]A small section in Palmaya was walkable, despite having large rocks. [*]If your Nexomon has "bind" or "planted" status effects, it means it cannot be swapped. However if it faints, you need to swap. Thus you would be stuck with a fainted Nexomon until the effects wore off. [/list] There is a lot more to do! And you can help us shape the future of the game with your feedback!
