The last Beta hotfix developed in 2023, but also the first to be released in 2024!  (Great heavens, where did the time go?)  As always, this build ended up bigger than anticipated, so let’s get underway with explaining what’s been changed.

Patch notes

+New storyline; The DownTownean Dream Team head into the Deep Dark Dungeons in Camp Laryss hoping to find Loiman Laryss and Henseth Stratman there.  Unfortunately however, it seems as though their search is to no avail, and they have to go back out again and head back to the tower they’d found themselves in after exiting that very long cave.  Whose voice from afar will greet them when they get there?

+Added the following plugins;

1. CGMV Toast; This will allow the use of small message boxes to appear when you open chests for example.
2. CGMV Vehicle System; Now the DownTownean Dream Team can walk around in their boat.  However, you will not be able to do this on a controller until the next major release.
3. Cae Battle Message; This will allow me to finally have some more control over the Battle messages, such as changing the emerge message per boss.  Special thanks to rpgLord69 on the RPG Maker Forum for directing me to this plugin!
4. Enemy Bars; Now you can track your progress while fighting enemies!

+Added voice lines for Mr. ESE from Quest 2 (Camp Laryss) up to the Loiman Laryss boss battle

+Implemented a new animation for Focus Transfer as well as Platinum POW!

+Added two new item shops in Camp Laryss, and also made it so different characters are serving each one

+Touched up the end credits with colouring in certain parts

+Gave Tui Strike an FP Bonus of 15 when used since it didn’t have one yet

+Added a new skill; Wind Vortex, unlocked after The Twisting Tornado is defeated

+Added another new skill for Mr. ESE; Cyber Zappy, which gets more powerful the more Focus Points he has (You may need to start a new save to be able to try it out)

*Altered Grace’s Parameter Curves.  She should now be less UP. (underpowered)

*Touched up the tent in the vast desert

*In the run-down house, changed the option “You feeling alright?” option to instead say “Wait, who?”

*Fixed certain dialogue boxes that didn’t have name windows yet

*Altered certain skills

*Upgraded items now cost 5 times their default counterpart.  For instance, Potions costed ₫5 before, and Super Potions now cost ₫25!

*Updated the Deep Dark Dungeons in Camp Laryss; each member of the DownTownean Dream Team has been put in a different spot in their respective cells

*Tweaked the prices in the Camp Laryss item shops.  They now cost three times more than they would’ve back at DownTown Village.

*Refresh should no longer assist the enemy (I can’t believe I wasn’t aware of this until 11/12/2023, when I used it for the first time!)

*Changed the “Shield of Darkness” enemy ability to affect the entire party, not just one character

*Fixed the Skeleking not being able to use the “Shield of Darkness” ability.

*Altered some more system dialogue

*Reworked the event where you go see Loiman and Henseth and they’re not there so the player automatically exits the tent once that bit of dialogue finishes

*Changed the vertical length of the prison cell in Tower 1-4
