> Spike warning. An exclamation mark will pop up at 3 tiles range within the spike, you might not feel cheated. Will not work on hard mode difficulty.

> Minor dialogue changes at the ending to connect with the sequel (probably a kinda important one).

As for why I updated this, really I have no specific reason other than just satisfy myself. I also feel bad after these years not updating it after I got much feedback from my players.

New stuff:
> Added one new battle music
> Added new element damage popup (Some of my players keep missing damage elements)

> Added clue to find hidden item (Blinking object, but it will not be available in hard mode)
> Added clue for floor 3 (will not be available in hard), because it's the least fave floor based on some of my LPers

> Added states information (shown by pressing SHIFT during actor selection), because some people don't know what these status does.

> Added shop heal limit (easy/normal = no limit, hard = 2 times)


Bug fixes:
- Fixed bug: Reflected projectile didn't kill actor
- Fixed bug: Necromancer use heal on first turn (Hopefully fixed)
- Fixed bug: Corona strike didn't count as ranged attack
- Fixed bug: Opening Stella's skill menu cause crash (no need the old patch anymore)

Changes:
- Changed cutin BG (thx to tv.ghost)

- Changed enemy state name from "Diamond Skin" to "Metal Skin" to make it more intuitive regarding their weakness.
- Minor change to some of the dialogues
- Removed dual language support (too lazy to cross check)

Balancing:
- Enemy Vipersnake now acts twice
- Increase Lunar's eclipse and curse damage deal from 45% to 80%

Dev note:
With all these changes, I somehow sure that I might missing some of either bug, glitch, or typo (especially on state description). If you found one, please let me know!

Oh I also plan to redesign the whole character, for maybe the sequel (or just promo art in general), and I just finished Stella. Here is the preview :D

Heyo, it's been a while (I mean a really while) since the last time I touched this game. Even though I'm still quite unclear how it's gonna be, but at least I proudly announce that now I'm working on the sequel right now. Here's a little video teaser. Be warned though, the game video contains a major spoiler of how the game ending

Ok, folks! I've made up my mind that I'm going to update my game, Skyward Temple. I'm aware it has a lot of design flaws ever since I watched most of people did Let's Play video. Some people complaint about the exploration, some didn't know some essential features like Free Turn Battle. They just command the actor without selecting who will gonna do the first action.

First update list. This is my top priority
An additional help window to show the skill details (and even for the normal attack). Some people I saw they didn't know what the skill element and type. Picking the right element to attack the enemy is important here.





These are working screenshot and probably not final yet. That's why I didn't put them in image gallery

Second update list. A battle tip for Free Turn Battle
Just added a little help tell you that you could select the actor which is going to do the first action. Some people really missed this feature. Ok, that's could partially my fault since I never told the player



Third update list. Encounter rebalance
Even I use evented encounter, there's a chance that you might be surprise attacked. When your party surprised, they could do one hit kill to your actor. In hard mode, you could instantly gameover without doing anything because the enemies were so overpowered. That's not fair, I'm aware. Now, I added a little bonus when your party surprised. They automatically switch to defend mode so they took a half damage while the enemies surprise them. Fair enough?

Also, I saw some people were annoyed with the map encounters. They were so fast, hard to avoid, yet many. As the developer, I could escaped easily since I know well the dungeon map. But it isn't for the player. I decided to make them slower

Fourth update list. TSBS version 1.4 stable update
Yes, it will still be the sample game for my battle system. I will release the stable version of the TSBS together with the sample game. Though, this game won't do a showcase what's new in the newest version of TSBS (like battle camera or such). I just updated the battle system.

That's all folks! :D

P.S :
- Lunar is a he, not a she :P
- If you wonder why the Stella's hat looks like a mage hat, here is her full portrait

If you ever experienced a crash when accessing menu, you can download this patch. You just need to replace the script.rvdata2 in Data folder. Though, this issue is actually avoidable. I'm sorry for inconvenience everyone m(_ _)m
