Coven of Calahree Changelog

See the title! This page will get updated every time that I make significant changes/progress on the game. Some of these things are based on fan requests/suggestions, the others are just little spoilery bits to keep y'all invested as I hammer out the last parts of the chapters ahead. 

Where applicable, I'll link to other posts on my Patreon.

v0.9.1.4 (5/21/22)

Updated the attached bug report sheet - now goes up to this version :)

v0.9.1.3 (5/19/2022)

New Bug Report Sheet that was written after the Great Disaster wiped my files. Feel free to consult!

v0.8.2.6 (3/28/22)
Attached a .docx file of bug writeup found by bugtesters on the discord channel. Will continue to update/replace.

v0.7.0.1 (10/25/21)

some of the rifts were patched with Bobo's tears, removing impassable lanes. (four maps)

No longer teleport immediately into chapter 7 from chapter 6 when trying to enter the mountain town.

v0.7.0.0 (10/25/21)

oh god, where to start.

Fixed Padget blocking you into conversation in the safe zone (Chapter 6)

All doors go where they're fucking supposed to (hopefully)

This chapter 5 softlocking issue is going to kill me I hope to God that splitting it into two different rooms (one for Bunny's event in Chapter 2 and one for the scene in Chapter 5) fixes it or I'll throw myself off of a bridge.

Ginny and Gabby and Griselda and Tia and Delilah can actually USE the weapons that I programmed in now, so super.

New class White Witch - don't worry, it won't come into play until the latter half of Chapter 7

Sprite changes with Ginny, the custom Bobo face sprite

Fixed that goddamn staircase in Chapter 6

A slew of new maps for chapter 7

Biggest Tia sprite ever, as well as a lorg Ashani sprite for the occasion.

v0.6.2.0 (09/27/21)

New Additions:

Fourth Wall Sitter

Lady Matilda (no quests yet)

Changes/Adjustments:

This one has a BIG weapons and armor change. This should make playing the game a bit easier in the early levels, as well as allow for a bit more customization. I'm going to do a few more changes here and there with what items you can equip to the playable characters, but that will wait until I'm satisfied with the stat changes.

Tora's bugginess SHOULD be fixed. If it's not, let me know. Because holy shit, this one is kind of what took so long to figure out. I need to get it fixed so that I can figure out how to script the epilogue in Chapter 7.

Stat adjustments continue - debuffed Alma so that Chapter 6 is a bit more fair. In a similar vein, there is now a functioning item shop where you can apply weapons to the characters. Don't try to put swords on any of the witches yet - that's addressed in an earlier point, but it's coming.

On top of that, a few more minor hitboxes and spriting issues were fixed. Some characters got new spritesheets with miniscule differences, but that are all on one page now (like Remi)

Remi and Kara's scenelets have been culled - the story no longer diverges depending on whether or not you rescued Remi in Chapter 2. Instead of a dramatic scene involving both of them, you can now interact with everyone at Granny's house (except for Kara in Chapter 3, who is still at the Tavern)

v0.6.1.0 (8/17/21)

New Additions:

Weapons System/Stat revamp

Second half of the secret code on the back of the Odd Trinket

Dev Room Revamp (not finished)

Adjustments:

Paul now has dialogue for Gabby in Chapter 4 and 5

Door and Action button adjustment in certain parts

Alma is now adamant about not being able to be recruited to work for Malary.

Meat Stand Dialogue has been adjusted following the Fat Housewife Quest

Shops now have signs in the Eastern part of Aemple.

Fight Club can now be accessed.

Tora no longer repeats herself, but still has issues actually going to her room once you've given her enough money for it. (still working on that!)

Grandma will no longer say stuff despite not being around. Begone, Ghost Grandma!

Tileset Accessibility adjustments (across various maps)

Bad Lands sign can now be read.

Finally fixed Thanya's restaurant bug - headcount is now accurate, and she gives you your rewards.

Item Shoppe has been adjusted with new characters and dialogue (not complete)

Shirewood Questline hiccups have been further ironed out.

v0.6.0.3 (7/28/21)

New area - Mountain of Zark

New party member - Padget the Paladin (+ retroactive scenes)

Tileset fixes

lots and lots of problems with that fucking bridge in the Death Mountain areas. It took me from .0 to .3 to fix it. Goddamn.

Thanya's questline - fixed!

plenty of other smaller QOL fixes (sorry, I fell behind on listing these!)

v0.5.1.0 (6/?/21)

Bunny Bombshell Quest line - complete!

Shirewood Shipping Quest - Complete!

New Character - Sady, the Perfectly Legitimate Businesswoman

minor bugfixes

nameboxes for certain characters

Church Redesign (complete)

Item Shop Redesign (partial - still incomplete)

v0.5.0.1 (5/31/21)

there will no longer be 2 Beckies. Time loop has been stabilized.

The portal will no longer trap you in the realm of the dead.

Fat Delilah is actually programmed into the game now, so neat.

Uma now has a nameplate! Which is great, considering that she's one of the folks you've gotta deliver to.

v0.4.1.3 (4/15/21)

Entering Town Square as Griselda in Chapter 3 from the southern entrance no longer causes the game to freak out.

Griselda will no longer complain about going up a flight of stairs twice

Entering Town Square in Chapter 4 from the righthand entrance in the first part of Aemple is now possible.

It is once again impossible to go into the employee rooms. They're locked, you pervs.

Leaving the tower in the Badlands, once you've defeated Lily Beth is now impossible, and therefore you will not be able to repeat the cutscene.

Exiting the Land of the Dead in Chapter 4 is now impossible, as a complement to the fix above.

Dienro Scenarios have been temporarily walled off until I can figure out just what the hell is making it so that they freak out for everybody. Hopefully they'll be back soon.

v0.4.1.2 (4/13/21)

Emergency patch - I accidentally left the game in Dienro Debug mode during distribution.

v0.4.1.0 (4/12/21)

Patched looping problem with the Bunny Girl Switcheroo 

Added 20 nameboxes to characters who did not have them before

(Most) doors now open onto black spaces, rather than walls

All doors now require the "action" button to be pressed

All trails now respond to player touch

Minor sprite issues with Shirewood Shipping Heiress

Tora is now able to rent a room in the Tavern for 5000g (not time-sensitive/can be completed after chapter 2)

Character sprite will no longer be invisible after interacting with Dienro items, and Red Bunny Ears is now rendered in-game.

Fixed bug in chapter 1 that could softlock game after defeating minotaur

Addressed issues of wrong characters appearing in face icon slot during Chapter 3

Tora can no longer hustle you for gold/steak more than once per chapter

Yet another patch on the Fat Housewife delivery quest, hopefully the last. Removed the former requirement of "delivering" the meal entirely, giving her advice is now how you get the credit for delivering the meal.

v 0.4.0.1 (3/14/21)

Fixed tileset issue making chest behind tower inaccessible

Fixed game-breaking bug in the delivery quest causing Ginny to stare at the wall as if in shame, with no hope of rescue.

New additions- 

5 new areas added - Aemple (Outer District), the Badlands (both retroactively added to be accessible as early as Chapter 2), Abandoned Tower, the Deadlands, and Pandemonium

New characters added - Thanya the Chef (Pandemonium) the Shirewood Shipping Heiress (Outer District) plus [REDACTED] as a recurring miniboss! (Abandoned Tower and beyond)

Shirewood Shipping Heiress's quest line will be added to help flesh out Chapter 3

Fairy Realm will (eventually) be explorable with NPC's and dialogue after defeating Queens Mab & Titania in Chapter 3 - full extent of this will likely take place over several smaller updates.

Graphical updates for certain areas - Witch's Tower to receive remodel

Deceptively Wise Cat can now speak to all of the player characters, regardless of playthrough.

What If? Scenarios are now run in-engine instead of being pre-rendered

Made it possible to talk to Ashani

More hitbox editing

Changed chest behind the tower - now it doesn't replenish automatically every chapter.

Minotaur in Part 1 now responds from all angles, rather than just the front.

Griselda will now comment if Ginny has done nothing of note in chapter 2

v 0.3.2.0 (2/2)

Rearranged hitboxes for scenery items

Added new shops/characters

Removed bug where you could keep activating the "get turkey" animation in the Bunny Girl sidequest in Chapter 1

Fixed bug where Sister Maria was not appearing in part 1, allowing Gabby to go to Town Square in part 2

Fixed sign leading to Hermit's Peak - now all characters can read it

Fixed bug allowing Hedge Master's maze to be completed indefinitely, allowing for infinite Strange Tokens

Fixed dialogue with Griselda's Tome of Calahree - now all sisters have an individual opinion

Box behind counter in Chapter 3 is back, preventing you from going into the kitchen and finding a mysterious second Jae.

v 0.3.1.3 (1/9)

Removed bug where, if employed, Alma sticks around after the end battle in Chapter 2.

Fixed Griselda's chapter 3 narration occurring for all entrances in Chapter 2.

Fixed doors in the Tavern all leading to the same Private Room.

Fixed issue with the beds in the tower - they no longer lead to an endless slumber of black screen.

v 0.3.1.2 (1/8)

Fixed an issue with Freya's delivery. Removed the random movement on both her delivery mission and the Basement Fairies so as to avoid potential softlocking.

Save file continuation is still an issue (continuing from chapter 2 to chapter 3). Will attempt to get to the bottom of issues that some players are having.

v 0.3.1.1(1/8)

I've found a few key dialogue spots where Griselda's portrait is replaced by Ginny, which I've fixed. I'll be on the lookout for more parts like this that I may have goofed on when I start working on the 3.2 update.

For now, I've patched the guard's meal quest and the beds making the screen fade out, as well as an issue with making the delivery to Freya's house.

As for the save file issues, some players are having issues depending on WHERE they've saved, and unfortunately that's going to take more time to fix. For now, here's a cursory patch that should clean the game up a little for now.

v 0.3.1.0 (12/?)

New Additions:

* New look for Griselda, courtesy of Calahree (link)

* New areas to explore! The Eerie Forest, the Fairy Realm, and Dienro House 

* A new Shop in Ashani the Seamstress, who will take the Hat Charms and other trinket items from the Magic Shop

* New "Night" NPCs, Lady Dienro, the Lazy Guard, and Jae

QOL Fixes: 

* A Healing Station located in the tower to restore HP/MP. Each sister's bed works for that respective sister. There are dialogue choices that let you know when you're looking at the player character's bed in each chapter.

* Gold drop rate increased on certain enemies (Cave Fairies/Slimes)

* Befitting her great big new look, Grizz will walk slower than Gabby/Ginny. This can be changed through interactions with Calahree's crystal.

* Encounter rates in the Forest Maze are half what they are everywhere else, by way of the popular vote of Beta Testers.

* New individual dialogue for certain interactions have been fixed (wells, the cat, the Great Big Door in the item shop, and the chest behind the tower)

* Smoother scene transitions in a few spotty areas in Chapter 1

Spoilers/Common Questions:

* Bunny Bombshell's quest is linear - if you didn't do it right in Chapter One, she won't be available for the quest in Chapter 2 and beyond. Working on a substitute/"second chance" scenario later down the line. (If she's fat in Chapter 2, you did it right)

* Kara will gain weight regardless of your interactions with Remi. Remi will only gain weight if you kick off her quest line in Chapter 2. If you're not sure whether or not you did it right, there will be a way to check come Chapter 3.

* Key Items will play a much bigger feature after Chapter 3. Key Items will be awarded for completing side quests around Aemple. I plan on adding in these rewards retroactively through the autoscript in Chapter 3, but replaying the first two chapters will be highly encouraged. Though the What If? scenes may not be available, it's essential for players to have them so that you can view them when they ARE available.

* The Fat Housewife Quest branches in three ways. One where you told her to move back in with her sisters, one where you told her to branch out on her own, and one where you didn't do anything at all. This will not be implemented until Chapter 4, but Chapter 3 has a way to tell which way this quest is leaning if you're unsure.
