Rooster Wakes Up! v0.7 Out Now! (Patreon)

Alright everyone! v0.7 is ready to go!

IMPORTANT: The save system has changed as of this build. An alert will likely appear if you are loading data from the old system. If you've never had problems loading a previous save file, the transition to the new system should be seamless. If you HAVE had issues in the past, it's possible you could run into issues with the transition. You can still attempt it, but it may only bring over certain data. I'd say regardless, it's worth a shot to see what you can salvage.

Upon your first time loading an old save, the save will be converted to the new system.

If you have had troubles loading in the past, I would recommend closing, and re-opening the game right after you load old data for the first time, and things get converted. I could explain why, but it might bloat this post a bit, but essentially rebooting the game will refresh the scripts, so any issues from the old save system will go away, as it will then be loading using the new system.

As mentioned.. if you have never experienced issues with saves in the past, this can likely all be ignored.

--------------------------------

With that, let's get to the changelog!

Changelog:

MAJOR:

New Level: Zol'gan

New Ally: Rooster

2 Rooster Hscenes

Rooster's abilities:

Active > Soul Siphon: Shoots a low "damage over time" beam. If an enemy is killed by this beam, a ghost will spawn by you. This ghost will periodically shoot at enemies. Ghosts are very fragile. They will die in 1 hit by practically everything (including obstacles).

Passive > Life Tap: Upon running out of Thrust Meter, you may continue to use abilities and boost at the cost of health.

• Added function to Pom's passive. Once you have completed Neos, A box will now spawn once on every level. Destroying this box will reveal a "Power Cell". Power Cells will give you unlimited Thrust meter for a period of time (While your jetflame is yellow).

• Changed to a new save system

Minor:

• Added new SFX by Lewd K.

• Fixed an issue with Pigman and Titas' boss where Lana (and the new ghosts) would shoot the wrong place, or off-target from the boss.

• Changed the update methods of several objects like lasers (so laser registration is more consistent)

• Lowered base opacity for all buttons (This is to hopefully make them less "aggressive" and get in the way of images like Hscenes)

• Damage-over-time effects can now kill the player. (ie. purple claws latching on to you.)

• Finishing cutscene now removes DoTs (damage-over-time)... so you can't die during the cutscene.

• Added a vignette visual for when the player is at critical health (The edges of the screen will turn red).

• Attempted optimization on Titas (admittedly, I believe the result was quite fruitless, and likely only made minor improvements.)

While I didn't manage to get female Aether's stuff done in time, you can still use Female Aether in Rooster's 2nd Hscene.

As always let me know if you guys run into any issues!
