Some people probably thought I was Jaded Lancer. If I was, this game wouldn't have even left 0.1 and you'd have been left in the dark. To those of you who thought it wasn't going to be finished... well. You thought wrong. Anyways, I know that the update finishing this game has come out of the blue. But, to be fair. I over calculated things and It turns out I had a lot less things to work on and worry about than I initially thought.
No, I didn't rush anything. No, the game ends just fine. No, I didn't cut content. I adapted, improvised and overcame things I couldn't do so that this game could game out.
I don't want to keep bashing on Jaded Lancer anymore. I know game development is super hard and that people are different and have different struggles. This game destroyed me. It destroyed my body, mind and soul. I lost so many things, so many people and just so much. I sacrificed my sleep, my health, my hunger, my apartment. I did it all just to make this game.
I sold my stuff just to keep going and I've been depressed as hell. But, I still pushed on and I still kept my promise and I still did the best I could, despite it all. This was never easy. This game was the most demanding game I ever made in my entire life. It cost me a fortune to make that I didn't even have. I really hope people recognize the hard work and dedication that was put into this and give it a chance.
Thank you all so much for the support from Itch, Kickstarter and Steam. I also want to thank the people who helped me behind the scenes in the discord server and other places where available. Thank you all, so very much!
Here is what is new:
-Added in the final portion of the story. (Is now complete).
-The Almadoren Arc is here until the end. (Make sure to have a save before the point of
no return if you wanna play the game freely and travel around/switch to a different Ashe).
-Added in Boss HP
-Added in a new Menu U.I.
-Added a Menu Cursor
^These new U.I. changes will crash current saves. If you are continuing from early access, please opt into the early access build. If an issue occurs at the start of a new game, just press the retry button. You should be okay after that.
-Added an animation to Holy Bind.
-Buffed the Rapid Slash skill.
Hotfix v1.5 recap:
-Fixed an issue where you would teleport to Male Ashe's world as Female Ashe.
For those of you who get trapped in the other Ashe's world by error or by those whose end game is to play both Ashes.
-I put in an Inter-dimensional Crystal behind a new door in Ashe's room. This allows you to swap Ashes at almost any time during the game. Keep in mind that some story progress doesn't carry over, but key items do so you can get through some content a bit faster if you already did it on one Ashe. Your entire inventory including your items, weapons and armor carry over as well. Ashe's levels and equipped gear do not carry over. Keep in mind that this is experimental. So yes, whatever level your entire party is when you swap will remain that way. So you can have the possibility to start the new Ashe's journey with a team of overpowered level 70 Guardian Teammates.
-Truffluffo, a new enemy and a type of thief that will roam the streets of Treshellon in the future Almadoren Arc is here.
