Gardenia's Tale ~Wind and Dream~ · published · build 26340992
Dear players,
Thank you for your continued support of Gardenia's Elegy ~Wind and Dream~!
This update adds Japanese language support and brings Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and English together in a single game version.
We've also made improvements to enemy AI and certain battle configurations, along with language switching, save data display, and UI interactions.
When launching the game for the first time, you can now choose between Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and English. You can also change the language at any time through Settings → Reading → Language.
All three languages now share the same save data and read/unread progress. You no longer need to change the game's language through Steam's language settings.
Character names, quest text, and save previews will now be displayed in the currently selected language. We've also improved cross-language loading for some older save files.
We've refined dialogue line breaks in Japanese and English, and made further adjustments to text sizes and UI layouts across all three languages.
We've improved the decision-making AI of various regular enemies and some bosses. They can now make more situational choices when selecting skills and targets, taking into account factors such as party HP, defensive status, available resources, and status ailments.
Some enemies now make better use of status-inflicting abilities in combination with follow-up attacks, while clearly ineffective attack choices have been reduced.
We've adjusted enemy compositions in some regular encounters and expanded the skill choices available to certain enemies.
We've also improved the actions and skill coordination of some party members in Auto Battle.
As a result, some battles may be more challenging than before. Be sure to stock up on meals, healing items, and ways to cure status ailments before setting out!
We've improved the selection highlights and sound transitions on the initial language selection screen, as well as the transitions into the opening sequence and title screen.
The layout and animations of language dropdown lists and confirmation windows have been adjusted, with improved feedback when canceling an operation.
We've improved fullscreen state retention when switching languages and reduced occasional stuttering when entering certain shops.
Fixed display issues affecting some status icons, hover descriptions, and battle actions. Some party-wide buff skills will now play their casting animation only once.
Fixed issues where older quest descriptions, character names in save data, and dialogue that continues across map transitions might not update correctly when switching languages.
Your existing save files will remain compatible with this update.
Please save your game before switching languages. Once the language change is confirmed, the opening sequence will play again and the game will return to the title screen. Any unsaved progress will be lost.
Read/unread progress is shared across all three languages. However, to prevent text history from displaying mixed layouts from different languages, the dialogue backlog will be cleared after switching languages or loading a save file created in another language. This will not affect your read progress.
If you encounter any issues after updating, please feel free to report them in the Steam Community. If possible, include your in-game language, where the issue occurred, screenshots, and the relevant save file to help us investigate.
Thank you for being part of this journey. We hope this update brings you an even better experience as you continue your adventure through wind and dream.
