0.4 is leaking! Literally! (Version 0.4.1 is up)

FIRST OF ALL, I'VE GOT RID OF ALL SILLY MODE EXLUSIVE MONSTERS!

Old players might remember seeing Digimons, Pokemon, Diablo, Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy characters etc. Guess what? They are no longer here with us. All of them are replaced (unused old tracks and battlers are deleted), reskinned and added to the core game. Some silly dialogues got altered, turned them into semi-serious stuff. Exlusives were bad design choice, so I turned them into reasonable things. You can now collect the Silly Mode exlusive equipments in the core game. Let me write the changes here;

• Digimons are replaced with Conjured animals
• Pokemon trainer is now searching for his Onigiri
• Onigiri (It was a pokeball) calls some other monster
• You can still get Spirit Urn; the story is no longer related to Tristram (Diablo)
• Snowman got reskinned, no more a MapleStory boss
• Nemesis is just a regular zombie now
• Gilgamesh is now called Zombiemesh (reskin), same skillset but no more Gilgamesh related dialogues
• Sephiroth is no longer, instead you can get a hunt mission from Chronix to defeat Sephiroth like boss.

Have you ever wondered what if you can travel in time to stop the Slayer very early? You can try it!

New stuff on the old maps!? What's that?

A classic JRPG curiosity... What's up with those wells? Why I can't go down? You can have your answers soon! Prepare to explore the underground by going into the wells! Some paths are long, some are short... Explore everywhere once again!

Underground? Why would I want to do that? Well, a new path on Lumberjack Camp has opened. In order to explore the new and amazing adventure you'll need to collect 20 Silver Tokens from all around the Shattered Hourglass! Some are well hidden in wells!

That sounds amazing, but what's this new adventure will take me?

WE ARE GOING TO THE UNDERWATER CITY! IT'LL BE A LONG JOURNEY AS LONG AS YOU GOT THE SILVER TOKENS~

---CHANGELOG WITH 0.3 + 0.4 + 0.4.1---

ADDED

• Collectible Silver Tokens across the game
• 27 new maps, 3 music tracks, 4 new enemies, 4 armor and 2 weapon
• A new time travel choice when getting your Ship
• Ability to enter the wells
• A placeholder map icon when you have 20+ house upgrades (check near of your home)
• Version number on the title screen (... :D yeah finally)
• Made cute trees on the whole Icdalen's world map
• In Lumberjack Camp you can get Ailments Tutorial book from the rightmost NPC

MAP CHANGES

• Dark Tunnel is now darker >:~D Also Sunbeam Crystal finally working as intended
• Deserted Tower got some makeover (again), walls got taller and added some neat stuff

• Edited most Karma Book entries a bit.

MONSTER CHANGES

• All Silly Mode monster added to the core game with their reskinned counterparts.

Happy Little Trees (0.3 version is secretly up)

Hello there once again! This is actually not a patch note or a new version blog, which is quite a rare sight for this game!

Whenever I play my game I always hate how empty looking my world maps are. Well... guess what! I've started to overhaul my world maps slowly... I'd few ideas on my mind, like smoothing the sides of ocean... I couldn't do it... Maybe I might, I've no idea I DID IT!!! I've also started adding little happy trees on most mountains! Icdalen is a tree rich place, so why not just add more trees!



I've also overhauled Deserted Tower (first dungeon), added some neat stuff to its walls. Fixed some tiles! Also added a dungeon boss frame!



Well, I just wanted to share my progress! I'll see you in the next patch or something :D!

MAP CHANGES

• Neutral Karma route; A gravestone for someone you lost (happens after the ending, you can't see until postgame area is complete, not possible at the moment)

Shattered Hourglass is in Patreon!

Wow, time really flies... It's been 5 years since I've created my first version of Shattered Hourglass which was pretty atrocious game on its core.

I've decided to take my game on a next level~ Gotta add a new chapter, some QoL changes, new end game content and hopefully getting a music composer for it. If everything goes well, I can even make a sequel of Shattered Hourglass. If you want to be a part of my journey you can support Shattered Hourglass from now on!
