v0.9.1.6 Patch

 I've released a minor update, v0.9.1.6. 

Get it here! 

v0.9.1.6 Patch

This minor patch mostly involves a few minor story changes and clarifications

- The dialog surrounding the possible major choice in Chapter 8 for those on the Alcinian route has changed somewhat in the case that you declined to recruit the optional character involved, to offer a little more closure.
- Added some slight further context on the nature of blood pacts.
- Added a little more clarification of Alexander's thinking on why the only choices for dealing with Kadmus were those that were offered.
- Added a line in Shadowreach in Chapter 3 clarifying that the magical taint left by the events in Hypernia are something that will naturally fade over time.
- Slapped some sense into a guard in Hypernia who was too bored with his patrol to notice that Ligaea is a woman.
- Corrected a bug that could occur via applying the adult content patch after having been playing without it.
- Fixed a few typos and other minor things.

v0.9.1.5 Hotfix

 I've decided to release a minor hotfix, v0.9.1.5, addressing an uncommon issue that could cause crashes.

Get it here!

v0.9.1.5 Hotfix

= Features
- Added the option to set the max number of messages for the backlog to the system menu. The default number of messages shown is now 25. If using an old save, your save will still be at 50 and you will need to reduce the number to 25.


= Changes
- Changed the buff icon on Sir Zethus's Unmoving Aegis for greater clarity.


= Bugfixes
- Corrected a bug where too much text in the backlog would crash the game. As this issue is an engine limitation, I can't fully prevent it, but the issue will now throw an in-game error message into the backlog instead of crashing the game.

Noblesse Oblige v0.9.1.2 "A Myrmidon's Honor"

v0.9 has now been released! 


Get it here.


Edit: Updated link to v0.9.1.3 to correct a softlock during a training room scene.

Edit 2: Several other minor fixes. 


v0.9.1.2 "A Myrmidon's Honor"

- 68k words of content 

- New section of the game and story

- One new combat section

- New optional boss

- Another major story decision (along most paths)

- See the Castle Town begin to transform with story progression!

- Begin commissioning Custom Armor, if the right conditions are met!

- This update will see a lot of past choices come into play, moreso than any previous update

- Sindarion's 50-loyalty skill is available

- Note: Ligaea and Ariadne's 75-loyalty skills are not currently available even if they reach this threshold, pending future story events; similarly, Cynthia's 50-loyalty skill is not yet accessible. 



= Balance Changes

- Reduced the damage on Whirlwind, given just how much it was doing as an AoE ability

- Reduced the defense piercing properties of Power Shot from 50% defense piercing to 25% defense piercing. This will mainly be noticeable against high defense enemies

- Corrected a bug with Wracking Poison dealing percentage-based damage

- Alexander's attacks now deal half "piercing" elemental damage to better represent his rapier, and Pierce deals fully Piercing damage. Piercing damage (currently only used in this fashion--other skills referred to as "Piercing" ignore part of the enemy's defense stat) is identical to Physical damage vs ranged enemies, but is not reduced by the physical damage percentage resistance of armored enemies.




= UI Changes

- Reordered the Battle Status menu windows to more easily check effects



= Misc Changes

- Added a new animation for Cloak Spin

 Added a new animation for Searing Wind

- Added one new statue option for castle interior customization

- Backend changes to ensure that proposal descriptions and effects can be dynamically updated as needed

- Various minor improvements to the mapping of the Castle Town

- New map-sized versions of Ligaea's arrow animation for use in cutscenes
