Hey buddy! Hope you are doing good ːcleasunniesː.
As promised, the final, ultimate test of skills has arrived. War Maiden Mode is now available in both Clea 1 and 2. Please note I will be testing the console versions after this, so thank you for your patience, and you can expect the same patch to drop on those platforms soon.
In Clea 1, War Maiden Mode can be unlocked by completing the campaign with the best ending. In Clea 2, War Maiden Mode becomes available once you have conquered Clea's Quest with a silver or higher rank. Survive War Maiden Mode, and the War Gear will be yours. Let it be a proof of your dominance and mastery. The dress contain a cute little ability, which I will leave as a surprise ːexceliaː.
Alongside War Maiden Mode, I have applied a series of tweaks/improvements:
- When you are in an area afflicted with the noise curse, the background ambience will be replaced by chants (for clarity).
- The peek blocking corruption no longer denies you from looking through doors. This felt too unfair.
- Chaos Spiders will now flee, or at least fail to kill you, if they attack right as you are entering a door or closet.
- On Chaos+ difficulty, players will be able to sneak closely behind enemies without being unfairly killed.
- Chaos+ exclusive foes now have slightly different sounding footsteps so you can tell when there are multiple hunters in play.
- Revised the spawn times of some Chaos+ exclusive enemies to improve fairness.
- Minor graphical fixes to some costumes (the candle flames were too solid in a few).
- Fixed bug where on rare occasions, the player character flickers for a frame when a chapter is completed.
- Audio balancing for a lot of sound effects, many of which were too loud. There were also sound effects that would play twice in succession when they were not meant to.
Remember, the Gaia dress has also been added to Clea 1. Complete the campaign with one save or less, and the costume shall be yours. With this third update, there is no better time to re-visit both titles ːwhappyː.
What comes after this? There may well be more Clea related news. We always got work going on, and speaking of which, I should get back to it. Thank you and have fun ːbibiː!
P.S. The Clea 1 and 2 artbooks have been updated with the new costumes, along with artworks tied to the One Year Mission. Hope you like them!
