1.0 {Delayed Release}

This is a bit late, it turns out I forgot to schedule it last week -- my apologies.

• Android - (Not sure if this works, if not use Joi Play!)

Summary Of Changes:

• Completely revamped the intro / first 30 mins of the game.
• 350 new renders total (some to replace the older images)
• Stability Fixes (Early)
• Bug Fixes (4-5)
• QOL Additions
• Training (of any type) now contributes to HP or FAT growth on a per scene basis (may change in the future).
• Streamlined battle and all roles of battle. Fixed some unintended behaviors and tweaked some values to make battle more fun.
• New (and smaller) NPC videos for the various characters.
• Title Screen, Quit Screen and Confirmation Screen Changes
• New Ryoko Events (+3)
• New Ziphyr (man in the open sea) events.
• Dream Events + 2
• Deciphering the Journal Events
• 2 more Main Story events + 3 New Character appearances (Melty, Mom and Sis).
• Added more functionality to "exploration". You can now raise enemy or material levels.
• With higher material levels you begin to get material traits (will be revamped in the future a bit more).
• Can turn any material into gifts.
• Item Duping and some other features are converted to spells which you can learn from Ziphyr.

Things I did not get to, aka next version:

• Updating the main story direction / instruction prompts. Basically once you get to Creating the tower core, the story still dead ends, but all of the new events added are still things you can witness / play through.
• Fix the item paging with inventory/ crafting.
• Expansion on Lyra, Grimm and Ryoko's stories (I have the entirety written through prologue , scenes need added).
• Skirmish Magic - Incomplete
• Revamp Spells Screen so that you can tell what's what and what each spell does. (incomplete)
• Revamp the Grimoire, adding in new tabs for info. (Incomplete)
• Infiltration (Main Story Event) Incomplete. (Needs monster update and companion feature)
• There are a few scenes that have been written, but images have not been applied and therefore they aren't accessible in the game as of now.
• Companions (not added, need to progress Fira's story + Pichi's Story)
• Elemental Bullets (Progress Fira + Pichi story)
• Ryoko's memories (new characters)

Additional Dev Note:
Somehow, I always end up feeling like I didn't make as much "progress" as I intended with updates. I have nothing concrete to base this on, but some feedback about what is normal from like game/devs would be helpful and appreciated!

This month,  I found that re-doing some of the earlier renders took longer than I thought. (Like, almost 4 straight days XD -- it was a test of endurance). Long story short, I feel as if that cut into my initial plans for content -- but was also necessary.

As always, I hope you enjoy. I am now intensely focused on washing away this feeling and will proceed to overcompensate in the most epic way ever in the coming month with new content. -_-
