NyARES Demo v0.2.0-beta.7 is now available on Windows and macOS. Thank you for taking part in the beta test!
Before you play
The expedition save format has changed in this update. Runs started in v0.2.0-beta.6 or earlier cannot be continued. Please start a new expedition.
These patch notes cover the demo test version. The full game is still in development.
Battle replays and contribution stats
- Added a replay of your most recent battle. Seek forward or backward and select soldiers to review how the battle unfolded.
- Unified contribution panels across battles, replays, and rewards around three metrics: damage dealt, damage taken, and healing. Fallen and summoned soldiers are included.
- Fixed previews and replays changing the speed setting selected during an actual battle.
Only the most recent battle is temporarily recorded. The recording is cleared when you start the next battle or restart the game.
Customize your cat soldiers
- Added more fur colors and independent left and right markings for your soldiers.
- Select a soldier in camp and open customization to change their fur and markings at no cost. Preview your choices and confirm to save; closing the window restores the previous appearance.
- Adjusted how often newly generated soldiers have markings.
Battles, victories, and transitions
- Enhanced slow motion and impact effects on the final blow, with screen shake adjusted to enemy strength.
- Improved soldiers' victory jumps, carts, offerings, and report presentation after battle.
- Improved the giant cat's leap, landing attack, and shadow placement.
- Added parchment and paw-print scene transitions and loading cards. Refined loading-card skipping and battle timing: combat now starts after the camera reaches its battle view.
- Updated the in-game background music.
UI and controls
- Refined button backgrounds, hover and selected states, and lower edges. Adjusted button sizes and spacing to fit their labels.
- Enlarged the board and reorganized the soldier cards on the new soldier position screen.
- Improved shop refresh tabs, card selection, and purchase confirmation.
- Made sigil movement destinations clearer during fusion, and separated soldier and sigil information in the board inspector.
- Improved trait descriptions, numerical displays, growth previews, and enemy lineup lists on the map.
- Reworked the order and wording of the demo's reward guidance.
Fixes and performance
- Fixed missing soldiers in expedition summary and completion scenes, and soldiers on carts appearing dimmed.
- Fixed title-screen menu and logo overlap, summary gauge colors changing after visiting overall records, and formatting tags appearing in descriptions.
- Reduced unnecessary camera and effect processing in the expedition summary screen.
