Hi Deer Players,
A week after launch and I'm still to see more positive reviews and a fairly good start in terms of players! I've got a few changes and tweaks for v1.05 based on some bug reports, and some oddities I've discovered myself while testing the bug fixes.
[b]Functionality Changes[/b]
[i]In previous versions if you could get down into the lower level of the colosseum screen in Autumn Arena there was an invisible wall I placed between the ledge and the lower level but it was found jumping at a certain position can sometimes allow the player to fall through it, causing a softlock.[/i]
[list]
[*] Removed the invisible wall between the upper and lower levels of the Colosseum in Autumn Arena.
[*] Made it possible to leave the lower portion of the Colosseum in Autumn Arena, except during the Joust Minigames and when collecting the Grand Present.
[*] Added missing music to the Joust at Autumn Arena.
[*] Changed Minigame music to be set to the default music for the area after minigame completion rather than the last track played.
[/list]
[b]Bugfixes[/b]
[i]A few minor bugfixes were made for this version. I found the final Joust against Chestni did not reward the Walnut item correctly and a bed in Autumn Village would crash the game due to a missing effects layer for the green healing flash effect. The Gauntlet in Autumn Arena has been made inaccessible after first completion due to not being intended to be repeated[/i]
[list]
[*] Fixed a crash which would occur when trying to sleep in a bed in one of the Chestnut houses in Autumn Village.
[*] Fixed a bug which prevented Wallnuts appearing in the rewards from the Joust against Chestni.
[*] Fixed a bug which allowed the player to re-enter the Gauntlet in Autumn Arena after completing it the first time, leading to a softlock.
[*] Fixed a few typos and a missing NPC dialogue in Autumn Village and Autumn Arena.
[*] Fixed a room transition on the east wing of Autumn Arena which would skip the room with the stairway to the colosseum when heading north.
[/list]
[b]QoL[/b]
[list]
[*] Slightly increased the volume of the Snowzone exploration track.
[/list]
I hope these changes help improve the experience of Reindeer Story, thanks for playing and please keep providing feedback as it's helpful for these patches!
Thanks for reading,
Azzie
