Spirit of Diwata · published

Hello everyone,

A small update to the Spirit of Diwata demo is out today! You can now practice after finishing the prologue.

See what else has changed below. As always, saves carry over! Find a problem? Press F2 in the demo, or tell us on Discord.

Our journey continues.

Changelog

  • Calming is quicker: holding a note ticks faster again, and creatures need about a quarter less calming (rapikas a bit less still).

  • People you have a karma bond with now greet you and ask if you need anything, instead of opening their card straight away.

  • Many lines in Tsanport and chapter one are rewritten.

  • Practice now gives you a card for each Help topic, and asks if you want to go again.

  • The Help book is shorter: a few pages are gone and the rest are trimmed.

  • After the prologue, a short line points you to Practice in the Help menu.

  • Friends now share their name from Bond Lv 2.

  • The earth wall is now a row of five standing stones instead of round clods.

  • Releasing a carried friend now takes holding Recruit Ally (RB / R1 / V) for 1 second. Holding the bond button only buries, so friends no longer get let go by accident.

  • The Help book gets pages for Karma bonds and Karma echoes once you form your first karma bond.

  • The camera rises at look-outs only once everyone you play is past the line, and comes back down as you cross it.

  • The name you type on the naming page now sits centred on the note, and long names fit.

Fixes

  • Fix: Highlighted words on Help pages showing oversized. They now show in color at the normal size.

  • Fix: The Help banner staying on screen after Practice.

  • Fix: HP showing 1 after leaving Practice.

  • Fix: Not being able to enter Practice again after a trip.

  • Fix: The orange dot on Change Spirit Bonds staying after you release a friend.

  • Fix: Party bars showing over the black during scenes.

  • Fix: The Yarlung Crossroads scene sitting at the top edge of the screen.

  • Fix: "Sit for tea?" only showing from some sides of the table.

  • Fix: The pad cursor running away on the demo end card and the Inner Garden's Pieces.

  • Fix: Friends sinking under the party panel when the look-out camera came back down.

  • Fix: The Mentor's line after the attack reading as scolding in Japanese.
