As discussed in our previous update, Randomizer Mode is here! To start a new playthrough in this mode, create a new save file, select a difficulty, and then choose "Randomized" to start playing in this mode!
A new challenger enters the game in the Astral Sanctuary! This is a post-game exclusive fight against Aldebaran's own mirage, so beware, she is not fooling around! To fight her, you can simply warp to the Astral Sanctuary's first teleport and then head to the Taurus room. Good luck!
In our Kickstarter campaign, our NPC tier was fulfilled by two very generous and supportive backers, and we cannot thank them enough for their kindness. As a result, we decided these NPCs had to be special in some ways to show our appreciation!
Some of you might already have met the mysterious gentleman dino, who sometimes appears out of nowhere to give wonderful gifts. However, that is a rare event, which means it won't happen again until a new playthrough. To remedy that, we have given Dino a permanent house somewhere in the game world! This way, you may visit him anytime you wish (Sadly, unlike the rare in-game event, there will be no gifts here. Dino is relaxing at home!)
This brings us to our newest NPC, Frances, the Crimson Witch! She sits at the town square fountain, daydreaming and playing some fun magic tricks. Make sure to stop by and talk to her throughout different story events!
We have made a few changes regarding user experience in the game: First, we made a new system notification system to show important messages without cutting them off, like the old pop-up used to; secondly, we have adjusted system and menu fonts so players with handheld devices can have a better reading experience. And lastly, we have made it so that the game window in windowed mode can be manually resized by the user.
We hope these changes prove to be useful to everyone!
We'll continue to do our best to improve the game as much as we can, and we also wish to finish our Spanish localization soon. We're looking forward to providing everyone with the best version of this game!
Please stay tuned for more news and information, and thank you, everyone, for your continued support!
