FATACLYSM v0.1.3 - A Little Bit of Everything

The 0.1.3 update, which I'm calling a Little Bit of Everything (yes we're titling these now), is out! It brings a host of changes that entirely change the feel of the game along with a bunch of quality of life improvements, so feel free to jump straight in if you don't want to read the detailed patch notes.

HOW TO TRANSFER SAVES BETWEEN VERSIONS:

1. Go on your old version of the game and make your way to the Cathedral

2. Open the Saves menu and click the "Save to Disk" option, and then save the file somewhere you'll remember (like your Desktop)

3. Launch the new build of FATACLYSM

4. Open the Saves menu, click "Load from Disk", and then double click your save file, wherever you put it.

5. And everything should work! Let me know if you have any issues with this process.

Here's the list of changes in v0.1.3:

• A new standard enemy has been added to the Palace, the Virtuoso. This good-natured musician excels at empowering every enemy on the field, though she's still a bit of a pacifist!

• A new character skin for Astrid, the Dread Pirate Sinclair! This equippable cosmetic entirely reworks all 8 of Astrid's weight stages, giving her a completely new look when equipped. A preview of one of its stage can be seen below.

• New art for every token and icon in the game, along with a new set of weight stage icons that indicate how fat each party member is.

• New artwork for every single skill in the game, along with a rework to the combat UI that changes the old text buttons to the new art.

• Animations for each character's fat numbers and bars (like the rolling numbers in Wasteline, but better!)

• Challenge mode options that unlock after beating Hard Mode, allowing you to start runs with the Gourmand or with any Affliction.

• The ability to skip straight to the Palace at the start of a run after Kassandra has told you about it.

• A RIDICULOUS amount of balance changes that have entirely reworked how the Palace plays. The area should be much closer to the difficulty that I intended for it now, so good luck getting through! The party has also received many buffs (and a few nerfs) along with totally reworked passive abilities, and the attached notepad describes all of these changes in detail. There are a TON. There's also a new fat-related token that some Palace enemies can now apply!

And that's about everything. The notepad below goes into more detail about the changes, including a rework of the game's code to allow party members to be added more easily, so take a look at that if you're interested in modding.

I hope you all enjoy! The path ahead to 0.2 is now clear, and Leona has been waiting for quite some time. I may release a couple more skins before then, but the next major update should finally bring the next party member!
