V0.11.02 (July 21, 2025)

New game features

- Some form traits can now cause battle entities to give nearby battle entites a status effect

-- This is used by having Humans Protostars (any of the three classes) give other Protostars the Friends United! status effect, buffing multiple stats for two turns

New game content (quests/writing/art/etc):

- Added new world map region, Exile's Trailhead. Recommended for players minimum level 14 and above

-- This region is found in the southwest corner of Giusburg Outskirts and will involve the new Nova's Magical Girl Academy quest, as well as the next main storyline quest, Friends in Far Away Places

-- This region is not accessible until the quest Friends in Far Away Places has been started

- Began work on Nova's Magical Girl Academy quest. This can be found in Exile's Trailhead and is a recommend level 16+ quest

-- Human Protostars Classes OBA, KM, and FG are drawn by GlobbinArts

- Added Anatu the kimono-wearing kitsune graphics. Art is by LadyCleopatra

Miscellaneous:

- Refactored follower dismissal/knockout map departure data to allow for the location for knocked-out player/companions and dismissed followers to return safely to change according to varying game states

-- This is used in the new Exile's Trailhead world map region. If the Nova's Academy map has been discovered, a knockout goes there, otherwise it goes to the Redemptor safehaven in the Giusburg Outskirts region.

- Added acessibility feature to disable lights flickering in maps / battles / title screen. This can be done in the Gameplay Settings panel.

-- This is off by default. When enabled, lights remain the same color and intensity as a way to be less distracting

Cheat/Debug controls (patreon-backer builds only):

- Added teleport targets to Exiles Trailhead and Nova's Magical Girl Academy maps
