Daily Update.... Late night again.. So... 10/11?

Ok so BIG NEWS! I have finished my tested, I solved quite a few things that were brought up to me about the game, 1 change I literally JUST MADE! like no joke like 15 minutes ago?
To test the build I did a long playthrough right? Like played through the entire game the way it's "supposed" to be played. A lot of you players love to play the game in weird ways, not hating on you btw thats how we find and fix bugs, by finding what breaks when you poke it. But yea during my playthrough I got SUPER annoyed so most of the playthrough went great I was playing with all of the characters slowly leveling them up doing all the missions, getting some neat new legendary gear, testing out the new skills, all sorts of fun stuff. Then I got to the 1st Slavers battle. Basically battle 1 of the Pursena Rescue Arc, you know what I mean the one where its like just 4 of them? So I am fighting these dudes right, and I have like the full kit going on. Rudeus has 4 Legendary items that are all +4 I have Sylphy with the Advanced Rank Wind magic so shes doing AoE and getting a juicy 50% bonus damage because of the newly added Same Type Attack Bonus mechanic that I obviously straight up yoinked from pokemon. And Rudeus is rocking 2 of the super secret skills that I dont want to spoil. Just a hint though, it involves combining skills together and making new stuff. So you know test it see what you can make some of the are pretty good! Right not the point. So on this Battle Rudeus is level 17 enemies are level 20. So I should have like a 30% chance to miss right? No joke I missed EVERY SHOT like 50x in a row. I was like NOPE FUCK THIS IM DONE! It was one of those throw the controller kinda moments we all had when we were children. I dont even wanna play anymore mom shut the game off I dont care! Like that you know what I mean... just me...? Well... shit... Ok So I was like you know that whole accuracy based on level shit nah fuck that its gone. I Nuked that bitch from existence, it was killed violently with fire. Needless to say I already didn't like it, then it went and pissed me off. And I mean come on code don't piss off your creator stuff just doesn't work out well for you when you do that. I mean didn't your mother ever tell you "I brought you into this world I can take you out of it!"... Nope just mine....RIP me... Yea so the battle was straight up unwinnable I couldnt figure out why. So I nuked that mechanic. Then had to dev cheat to see the stuff after that. By dev cheat I mean I was like ok rudy now your level 40 with 1mill hp and 10k atk, eris and sylphy to, ok what chapter was I on ok cool we are back there now, do battle, win battle, do next 2 battles win those, go home sleep 2x, nanahoshi came in, talked to her for a bit, did another battle and GG playthrough done.

So what am I doing right now? Building the builds, and since it was mentioned on the Her Fall page, I will be bringing back the uncompressed version. So that will be uploaded probably first? I say probably cus that bitch is like 14GB right now, and I need to upload 2 of them. So... its gonna take a while. But I also need to make the compressed versions too, which take around 3 to 3 and a half HOURS per run, which REALLY sucks when you need to get the itch.io version to be under 1gb and after 4 hours it says its done and its like 1.05GB and your like.... well that was 4 hours wasted doing FUCK ALL now to do it all over again... oh look I took 8 hours doing nothing today but waiting for a stupid thing to compress.... It wouldnt be as bad if I could do multiple compressions at once you know Like do the 1gb and the lightly compressed like 4gb versions at the same time. But no! tbh it actually is a HUGE strain on my PC to compress it, and I essentially have a super computer so I feel bad for the people with bad PCs that compress their games. I mean I have a liquid cooled 16 core 32 thread Ryzen 9 5950X. 2 RTX 3080TIs, and 128 GB of Ram, and 20TB of storage on this PC. So if it slows down on my PC I am scared to think of what it would do to someones laptop lol.

But yea so the game plan for right now is to run the RenPy builder, which doesnt take very long like 10-15mins should be done before I finish writing this post, then upload that to 2 sites probably Mega and PixelDrain Because one of the users told me PixelDrain was blocked in Italy so I gotta make sure the homies can play and he said Mega works there, the only reason I didn't do mega before is because its more likely to get leaked if you upload to mega. But since this update is already 2 weeks late, its public release was supposed to be in like a week anyways so if it gets leaked its not the end of the world. Though I would prefer if it didnt, only because when you patrons play an update you give me a bit of a buffer to find and patch the last minute stuff I missed so that everyone doesnt have to deal with the bugs.

SO for my daily progress report of stuffs I did today..

Made 78 Skill images

- Did not make images for EVERY new skill because I essentially made ALL of the skills the game will ever have all at once

- Even though we will only have access to the Elementary-Advanced skills for now.

- The release plan is to get the Saint tier skills in the Demon Continent Update, King Tier on the next City, Emperor on the Following City, God Tier in the Final city.

- I will make the images for the other Tier skills when the time comes.

Added a Same Type Attack Bonus setup giving more depth to why you may want to use certain characters over others for certain fights.

Tossed all the skills from Elementary - Advanced into the Erik teacher NPC in the school for now. He is tested and working.

Tested the Combination mechanic found 2 major bugs, solved those bugs.

for context they were:

-You would select 2 skills and combine them then when you opened the menu again it would keep the same skills selected even if you did not have those skills anymore

-Which if you were not paying attention and just hit combine skills again, your game would crash.

- The other bug was it was taking your 2 skill points at the beginning of the interaction and it would continue with the interaction, and at the end tell you that you could not combine skills.

- it was taking your points even if you only had 1 then being like oh hey you cant combine but rip that skill point huh.

So those 2 are solved.

Added a revive mechanic to the game as an Advanced Tier Healing spell.

Made some UI improvements, now when you hover over your characters in battle it doesnt just give you atk and def stats.

it now looks like this

Name

Atk: - Int:

CC: - CD:

Def: - Dex:

Also changed monsters to show their Level name and element when hovered

And changed skills to show Name - Power - Element when hovered.

Also to try to help with order of operations errors, I am going to be changing it so boss battles ONLY show when you are on the right chapter.

I need to tighten up on the way that chapters work so that players can better experience the game. I cleaned up some of the flow of the game during the bouncing back and forth between sylphy and ariel section. I made it so the game should not bug out there, and it makes it really obvious what you need to do next lol.

I will post the uncompressed version to a different post as soon as it is ready. I will then update that same post with the lightly compressed, followed by the heavily compressed/mobile version. So expect all those to be up throughout the day. I figure I will take a nap during the compression times since they take 4 hours lol
