After about a week of sick leave (as COVID-19 finally caught up to me) resulting in having to push the release to the month after I’d initially intended to publish it, Mr. ESE’s Adventure v0.12.0b is finally complete!  Hopefully it was worth the wait.

Patch notes

+New storyline; After getting the heck out of that tower, the DownTownean Dream Team proceed to board a new ship that would be able to take them to the outskirts of DownTownea, where they would stumble upon a brand new island.  What is that island, and who will await them when they get there?
+Added the following plugins:

1. CGMV Menu Command Window; Vital for pause menu customization.
2. CGMV Achievements; Now you can complete achievements in Mr. ESE’s Adventure!  More will be added down the line, and you might need to start a new save file in order to get them all.
3. QPlus; another base plugin.
4. QInput; for mapping the “Enter Vehicle” command to a button on the controller.
5. Iavra Splash Video; For improving the splash screen drastically!

+Added voice lines for Mr. ESE and the Narrator from Cave 2 to the Supreme Spellcaster battle
+Added voice lines for Mr. ESE and the Narrator from the start of the new storyline to Cave 3
+Added two new powerups; Droplet Boulder and Rose Splash, for Mr. ESE and Lisa respectively
+Added some Armour accessories as part of the Achievement update
+Added two new enemies for the caves; the Rockboulder and the Stonepebble
+Added the interior for the Ship
+Added some trees to DownTown Village (in the DownTownea map)
