King of Grayscale version 1.7 is now available! Bug fixes after UPRC's playthrough are listed as follows;

- Removed saves from zip file. (Oops!)
- Fixed numerous Boss Battles that were playing the wrong music.
- Reduced Gorant's obvious green-ness in a black and white world.
- Had Byles discovery in the Ashen Bog properly lower the secret count.
- Make the Achromatic Temple tablet more noticeable.
- Boosted XP and Golds rewards for enemies in the Ashen Bog and Castle Grayscale.
- Grayscale Castle monster count now properly set.
- Fixed chest to secret count ratio inside Achromatic Temple.
- Added more flavor to a particularly curious end game weapon.
- Removed Julius from the dialogue in the castle throne room. (Who is this guy?)

We'll have to see if any more bugs spring up from this title! Have fun everybody!

A minor update!

Edited one boss (Bone Knights) encounter slightly.
Adjusted end credits as necessary.

Enjoy!

Hey everybody! It's been a long time and I didn't expect to be making such a substantial update to King of Grayscale after the last one, but lo and behold after watching a few playthroughs of this game I've decided to make several quality of life changes into what will hopefully be the final update for my game here.

Changes are as follows!

- The Kitties Boss no longer lurks in hiding in a tile near Castle Grayscale.
- All party members recruited are now always conversable in the Tavern instead of just the ones not in your party, and they all now offer advice on how to unlock/find their abilities and/or items.
- Podo is more impatient for knowledge, and as a result now reads books immediately if they are found while he is in your party and doesn't even bother asking permission!
- Area Bypass for monster filled locations is unlocked by getting through the area as opposed to clearing every enemy out now.
- Now unique treasures are recovered from clearing enemies out of areas!
- There are notification counters on monsters, treasures, and secrets upon entering an area from the map.
- Monochrome has picked up the item shop hype of all the other villages, and as a result all item shops sell all the available consumables.
- A lot of NPC's now have updated conversations after making progression through the game that hint towards endgame secrets!
- Wryn's Chi Blast is now based off his Attack instead of his Mind. It still deals magic type damage.
- There's a notification directing the player towards Grayscale once the last village is recruited.
-The Achromatic Temple endgame secrets have had a bit of an overhaul and should now be easier to figure out.
- Several typo fixes.
- The credits have been updated.

HAVE FUN WITH THE QUALITY OF LIFE IMPROVEMENTS EVERYONE!

Hello folks! With a very special thanks to Liberty for playing KoG and pointing out some flaws that needed repair, I bring you the first and hopefully only needed patch update for King of Grayscale! Change log is as follows;

-Buffed Mind on primary caster weapons.
-Nerfed Attack on primary caster weapons.
-Buffed Stat Increasing abilities to be status granting with a temporary duration and higher strength.
-Ability on use items fixed, now correctly cost 0 MP and work as intended.
-Healing abilities buffed all around in order to try competing with the mighty Herb at late game.
-Byle is now immune to magical beneficial spells, as was initially intended (healing, reviving, buffing).
-Added a notifying message upon entry to Slate Woods about Bypass clearing.
-Added an NPC to Monochrome that clarifies the nature of battlegrounds.
-Unscrunched the face sprites.
-Switched positions on the Platina Elder and his assistant for poor Libby's sake.

Thanks for reading and enjoy!

Making excellent headway on this project. I would estimate that the game is now 75% complete, and at the rate I'm going, it's possible I could pop this sucker out before next year.



Monochrome, Soot, and Silver Vale are all finished. All that's left is Platina, and the final dungeon! Woo! Time to start looking for some testers!
