Been working on adding a whole bunch of new features into the game. Here is a preview on what to expect for next patch.

Added in-combat dialogues to Versus Mode. It was one of the features in Heroine Rumble I, and its now implemented in soon-to-be Heroine Rumble II as well.

Added a Surrender option when the player is grabbed. Pressed JUMP key to initiate the surrendering and causes the AI to go for pin (and ending the match) instead of fooling around.


Added a new item category - consumable items. Consumable items requires the implementation of item stack sizes too, so that has been done as well.

Trading/shop is back as well. Even though the UI looks familiar the underlying mechanisms had been expanded to supported Party to Party trading rather than the first rather hardcoded version.
TBH these features are probably not super important for Versus Mode, but will be for HRT II. Even though there is no playable demo for HRT II, the background work has started (for sometime now).

Similar to trading system the events/story system had been updated to support Versus mode and beyond.

Added exhibition match options to customize the opponents during exhibition matches.

Finally, added this QOL cancel button during color selection to undo color changes.
Patch is not quite ready yet. In the meantime, @EterDecay released a kickass mod for the game. You can get it here: https://twitter.com/EterDecay/status/1661671145165258752
