I might as well not keep you all waiting any longer.
Alpha v.4.0 - Chapter 2.5 (Using a different file hosting site since my dropbox is full.)
Changes: (Oh boy, and there are
a lot!)
-Chapter 2 is complete.
-the first half of Chapter 3 is playable
-Star Sapphire bug fixed.
-Miasma Field, Ruins of Vina, and Bypass Cavern's encounter rates were all lowered.
-All early game (Pre-level 10 characters.) spells had their base power increased.
-Miasma effect revive bug fixed
-Crystal Shield's effects changed.
-"Save" has been removed from the game menu.
-A new treasure chest is added at the end of Bypass Cavern. (Empowered Sunny Milk must be beaten before you can access it, however.)
-Sakuya now drops the
in addition to the Pocketwatch.
-5 Summons
are added. These are 100% optional spells that you can only get by completing certain tasks or defeating Lunatic Bosses.
-When under the effects of Miasma, the experience point rate is greatly reduced to prevent easy level grinding in the Miasma Field.
-Skills and Spells with both MP and TP costs now display both costs. (For instance, Insect lullaby now shows that it requires 30 MP and 30 TP.)
-Defeating
nets you the
along with
-Point items introduced. You'll start seeing them drop from enemies around the time you recruit Mystia. They are a very uncommon drop and serve to boost TP in battle.
-YuugenMagan's sprites are updated, and Mai now has a proper overworld sprite thanks to Searinox119.
-Moonlit Ray's behavior is now changed, the HP it saps is now roughly equal to 30% of Rumia's maximum hp.
-3 new superbosses have been added:
-Some of the new spells should be added to characters over level 10 but less than level 16 if you import a save file,
just don't import characters level 17 or over for now. -A sequence break was added, allowing you to access
early, but this is not recommended to attempt early-on considering everything in that area will
massacre low level characters.
-The outside of the Hakurei Shrine was given a slight redesign.
-
DONATION BOXES!-Gensokyo map updated.
-Myoren Temple added. Talk to Byakuren after recruiting Mystia to learn some skills.
-Blurred Boundary and Sanzu River added. They have no use at the moment.
Known Bugs:-Using Enshroud on anyone who isn't named Rumia will cause a message saying "<Party Member> took no damage!" before applying the Enshroud effect. The same applies to using Ice Armor on anyone who isn't named Cirno.
-If you import a save file, be sure to import one from
BEFORE you defeated Elis and left the Ruins of Vina. Otherwise you will have some serious cutscene bugs if you try to return to Gensokyo/re-enter Makai from Gensokyo.
-There may be a tiling error here or there on the larger maps, please report any obvious ones.
-Minor graphical glitches occur with K.O'ed party members. They do not affect gameplay and will be worked out in a later version.
-
's Bestiary entry states that you killed 0. (According to the game, this is technically true, since
is a separate entity.)
-When fighting YuugenMagan, if you defeat one of the eyes before every party member has taken their turn, and you have more than one party member targeting the eye, then the rest of the party members will attack the dead eye and do no damage.
-If you imported a save file from Alpha 3 from
after you defeat Elis, certain cutscenes will NOT work.
-If you imported an old save file, then certain monsters will show up in the bestiary which aren't supposed to be in there. (For example, YuugenMagan's eyes.)
-In the Miasma Field, it displays the EXP you would have received instead of the actual modified amount for that area.
Thanks to Searinox119 for Mai's overworld sprites and YuugenMagan's new eye sprites and Colticide for the new title logo and window skin.
