Hello everyone! Spirit Valley has now been out for a couple of weeks and we've received lots of great feedback from you guys! In this first small update we will try to fix some of the issues many have complained about. There's also lots of bug fixes and some new content as well! Let's see what we've been cooking. [h2]Rare Spirits[/h2] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44798634/b6f5981e9e9b9e806488e75eb8263521de701585.png[/img] One of the most requested features has been rare versions of the Spirits. This new update brings a rare version of each Spirit with a new color scheme. The new colors apply to the combat sprites and lewd animations as well. The chance to encounter rare Spirits is fairly high and there is a new consumable item that helps you track down each rare. We will be listening to your feedback on the rares and adjust encounter rates in future updates if needed. [h2]New Consumables[/h2] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44798634/4fc192ecf7a71e922a2a7624ec51823c84934a85.png[/img] We've added new types of consumable items which can be used while traveling through the world of Spirit Valley. These items can help you find more powerful Spirits, rare Spirits, or even completely avoid encountering Spirits. We also received many requests for a way to deal with the poison effects in battles, so now you can use the Antidote to remove poison and the Cleansing Tonic to remove all debuffs. Status effects like poison and debuffs are now also displayed on the combat UI. [h2]Balancing & Changes[/h2] [list] [*]Poison status effect is now applied to Player's Spirit after turn action is taken, if action is "Send out", "Use item" or "Flee".
