Hello everyone and happy Tuesday! ❤️🔥 A brand new patch with fresh fixes arrives with the solutions to several issues still being reported by players.
🛠️ Fixes:
✦ Fixed an issue where the mouse would no longer advance the dialogue in Beatrice's 3rd cutscene (after defeating the Circle 2, Lust, boss).
✦ Fixed an issue where the Miracle of Beatrice charm (Revive) would carry over between runs.
✦ Settings global reset now works as expected.
✦ Fixed a bug where, upon starting the Scarmiglione mid-circle encounter, player could get stuck in a black screen or with dialogue overlapping the gameplay in a broken state.
✦ Fixed glitching sprites observed in one of the Circle 2, Lust, boss repetition cutscenes.
✦ Solved a bug where players would get stuck in the Title Screen due to not having SavedGames Windows folder.
✦ Solved an issue where Ovid's Poet Rescue cutscene (when clearing the quest successfully) would not play if the player was defeated immediately before it.
🪞 Visual:
✦ Improved the look of bold text of Charms' titles
✦ Fixed additional missing characters in Asian languages (Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese).
🤖 Optimization:
✦ All videos are now set to play in 1080p by default to prevent lag commonly reported by many players. A toggle to restore videos to 4k resolution will be added to the Settings at a later date.
Before wrapping up today's post, we'd also like to inform you on our plans for the game outside of pure bug fixing.
While we're currently focusing our resources on fixing many of the most pressing issues that are preventing players from accessing the game in its full capacity, we want to ensure you that we are also collecting information on many improvements, suggestions, and concerns expressed by players since the Early Access release.
Of these suggestions, we want to highlight a few that we are committed to in the near to mid future:
Difficulty balancing in Circle 2, Lust.
Improvements to player and enemy hit boxes.
Improvements to mouse responsivity in UI.
While there's other improvements we have planned out, we are a small team and will prioritize this list first and foremost in order to resolve the most common frustrations reported by players so far! 🙇♀️
We are so grateful to everyone who has taken the time to voice out their opinions and suggestions. Your interest for Hell Maiden is very appreciated.
