Hello everyone!

It's been a little over a month since the last update. Things are going slow, but okay. There's several things to discuss so let's get right into it.

Chapter 4

Some maps for chapter 4 have been polished more since the last update. Unfortunately, the events, loot and the monsters have not been created. This is due to the huge item database overhaul. More on that later.

What I can say about chapter 4 is that it will be just as big as Heart's chapter, if not bigger. There will be a good number of large maps to explore with secrets and great rewards. An optional mini dungeon will be added as a side quest.

Item Database Overhaul

The item database is close to completion. Rare items (blue) have been removed entirely and many items have been revised and created. There are currently 68 weapons and 136 armors. All the items have to be rearranged in the database. In addition, all chests, quests and monsters have to be edited to give the proper loot.

Item rarity consists of:

Common (white text color)
Legendary (orange text color)
Sacred (purple text color)

Weapons types consists of:

Swords (Warrior Momo, Shinichi)
Maces (Warrior Momo)
Wand (Mage Momo)
Dagger (Karin)
Miscellaneous (Shinichi)
Bow (Melon)
Hammer (Heart)

Armor types consists of:

Helmet
Body
Gloves
Boots
Accessories (2 slots)

Bugs/Issues Fixes

YEP Equip Core - Previously, if a character did not have full HP/MP and equipped a weapon or armor that increased max HP/MP, the character would lose a few points of HP/MP everytime the equipment was equipped or removed. This issue was due to a line in the code that was changing the rate of the HP/MP values. It was causing the values to be rounded. Special thanks to the members of RPG Maker forums, especially Aloe Guvner, for solving this issue!

Disable Map Regen by Trihan - This plugin disables HP and MP regeneration outside of battle. However, the plugin unexpectedly removed states after walking a certain amount of steps. This issue has been fixed. Special thanks to Trihan!

Warrior Momo's Falchion - This powerful sword was accidentally given at the start of the game, making Warrior Momo's path a breeze. This Falchion will be replaced with a Wooden Mace in future versions. Please avoid using this sword if you are playtesting the current version.

What's Next

Once the weapons and armor are all arranged, the database will be complete. Mapping and events will take priority. Character art and some redesigns will be worked on as well. I want to start incorporating character portraits so the dialogue will be a bit more lively and interesting. I have said before that they will be added after everything is finalized. However, I think it would benefit the game if I include some at least.

Example of a character portrait and expressions featuring Sayuri:

Slight Smile


Happy


Upset


Unfortunately, due to work and unforeseen circumstances, the next version (2.1) will have to be delayed until late September. I previously stated late August, but with a big job coming up, that isn't possible anymore.

Anyhow, thanks for reading! I'm always looking for playtesters so please give this game a try. Don't forget to subscribe for updates!
