April Fool's Calendar Event, New Side Quest, New Features, and more!

Welcome to Einlanzer version 1.212!

Foolish Fool's Day calendar event

Riddari's annual Foolish Fool's Day Festival is here! A brand new foolish event has been added for this year's holiday with unique rewards that are ONLY available during THIS YEAR'S event! Next year will have new unique prizes.

The event ends at midnight EST on April 8th, so go talk to the jester in Riddari to play before this calendar event is over!

Updates with v.1.212

You spoke and we listened! Based on player feedback, there are several gameplay updates with this patch. Every change is detailed below.

New Sidequest and items!

There is a brand new side quest available in the town of God's Grove. Go in the building on the north side of town to begin the quest. The reward will be a brand new purchasable, usable item type that could potentially drastically change your strategy in battle!

I have another sidequest in the works right now that will take you to an ancient, buried Fusilier fort. Expect it to be done around mid-April. Players said they wanted more side quests! :-)

Quick World Map Button

Einlanzer now has a button/key that lets you instantly look at the world map (Lanzer's realm) without having to fumble with the menu and key items. Thank you player unknown_zzz for the suggestion!

• Steam Controller/Keyboard version: the letter V or TAB on your keybard, or the < button on your Steam Controller.
• PC Gamepad version: the letter A on your keyboard or button 4 on your pc gamepad by default.

Also, a couple lines of text are added through the early part of the game to let players know that they can use the quick world map button. These happen when you first get the world map from the blacksmith in Sea Breeze, when the shipbuilder sends you off to Riddari in Elnae, and when you first get your sailing ship. Also, The controls graphics you see when you start a new game have been updated to show the new "Instant World Map" buttons/keys.

Stat Explanation screen

One player on the discussion board said they wanted a detailed explanation of all the stats from the menu. I agreed this was an excellent addition, especially for how RP, percentage stat increasing items, and the Luck stat works.

Full Heal spell buffed

Alice's spell "Full Heal" had little use before. It seemed to always make more sense just to cast a strong "Recovery" spell. Now, "Full Heal" will not only give the target 100% of their HP, but it will also heal most status effects! It's not *quite* as thorough as a "Cure II" spell, but it does eliminate most status effects.

Status effects "Full Heal" cures: Poison, Blind, Silence, Sleep, Paralysis, Stun, Immobile, Arm Injury, and Strong poison. Notable exceptions are Stone, On Fire, and Confusion.

Options Screen (change window color, volumes, autorun, etc.

The final update to Einlanzer in this patch is an expanded options screen. Many of these features (especially autorun) were asked for by many players in the discussion board.

This replaces the bottom menu option that let you quit the game. The option to end the game or return to the main menu is now at the bottom of the new options menu.

New in the options menu:

• Customize the window color
• Adjust music, background sounds, and sound effects volumes
• Allow for auto dash (highly requested in discussion board - I hadn't implemented this before because I needed to do extensive playtesting to make sure it didn't mess up scenes throughout the game)
• Allow you to make text appear instantly
  

  That is all of the updates for this patch! Remember, the April Fool's Day calendar event ends after only one week, so take part in the festival while you can!

  As always, thank you for all the support, encouragement, suggestions in the discussion board, and reviews. If you can spare just a couple minutes of your time, writing a review of Einlanzer helps tremendously.

  Thank you,
