While we've mostly been focused on Year 2 and beyond, we got a lot of good feedback during the Steam Next Fest and wanted to post an update to the demo! [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41292029/565717043e303bf2150072118ca5a0fcf3059b5d.png[/img] One of the biggest complaints I've had is that the battles are clunky, and this update attempts to fix that, along with a number of other quality of life changes and improvements! [b]Changelog:[/b] [list] [*] Improved battle UI - you can now memorize spells, and quick cast them without opening their spells list. [*] Added glossary to encyclopedia, and made some words clickable to bring it up. [*] Trial gives more info on each evidence (like date you got the evidence and a brief refresher). You can also bring up the evidence list at any time during a trial. [*] Many edits and improvements to Year 1 - including more foreshadowing for future years. [*] Added graphics for bars (like the health bar). [*] Added particle effects. [*] Added animations to using potions & items, and improved potion crafting animation. [*] Added enchanting animation. [*] Added icons to the inventory and crafting menus. [*] Any ally can now be chosen to make potions - not just the party leader! [*] Changed Options to Menu on the title page - as there are several things I wanted to put there (credits, community link, and later achievements). [*] Added load option in game pause menu [*] Minor improvements/stat changes. [*] Added a small shake when changing pose. [*] Removed animal guide and book from equipment. These were part of the original game to increase personality points, but we decided they were no longer needed. [/list] I'm hoping to have year 2 finished and uploaded to the playtest by the end of this month - so if you have access to the playtest, look forward to that!
