Build 0.2.931 Live! (Bleeding) (Patreon)
Content
Additions:
-New HScene added: Amelia Outside. To trigger, interact with the Hscene trigger after the Rhyme's Square encounter in Chapter 03, or select it from the main menu gallery
-Tweakable sharpen filter to help remove oversmoothing from temporal antialiasing
-New Style Rank
-new style rank UI
-style rank grants points depending on how frequently the last attack has been used. If an attack is used multiple times it will stop gaining points from that attack, so players are encouraged to mix it up
-Damage multiplier up to 3x depending on style rank
-tweaks to combo cooldown, point gain parameters
-rank decay will accelerate if player does not deal damage for 6s
-getting hit will reduce ranks by up to to 2 rank depending on gameplay difficulty
-perfect dodge immediately gains a lot of style
-MP system Framework:
-MP is broken up into bars. Each bar is 100MP. MP will replenish up to 1 bar when empty, but filling more than one bar will require items (in the future) or certain abilities. MP bar will be upgradable in the future.
-Ability System Framework
-Abilities will be equippable in the future. Currently Scan is hardcode equipped. Note this has no visible UI yet
-Perfect dodge now replenishes 100MP when executed. It's hardcoded as an ability currently, but players will be able to swap perfect dodge bonuses in the future.
Tweaks:
-motion blur dialed down
-renamed "motion blur" to "motion blur quality" for more clarity
-game no longer mutes when focus is lost. Better behavior for streamers playing in windowed or borderless windowed mode
-some UI elements have been scaled up a little and their fonts / styling tweaked a little for better legibility
-Corrupt and Probe's health have been dropped 500 points
-Gun damage adds less style rank points than other attacks but increases the combo delay, making it better for extending combos than other attacks
-Hit effects are more visible (their light influence has been increased)
-Enemies crack and explode when they're defeated
-Enemies can no longer be juggled after they're defeated
-Environment art tweaks / additions
-camera shake tweaks
-Time of Day length doubled
-Scan ability now also shows Save Points & Hscenes
-Some environment props are now destructible
-Save point added to downtown shops area, near the dialogue portion with Piro
-hair fake translucency effect added
-game defaults to 60fps fps cap for more consistent frame timing. User can override in settings
-Lock on now prioritizes closer enemies better
Fixes & Optimizations:
-If a player launches in normal mode, then the launch animation can be played again after a jump
-various places where player or enemies can get stuck between containers in ny_pier
-out of bounds in MIS_ST_01 and MIS_ST_03
-can jump over force fields in MIS_ST_03 Rhyme's Square encounter
-mission says new york at the beginning, when it shouldn't
-spamming buttons during load still allows moves to happen while the screen is black
-softlock with pause menu when entering / exiting menus quickly
-out of bounds in downtownstops
-not switching properly between gamepad and kb+mouse
-can pause during loading of MIS_ST_03, which results in black screen without the pause menu showing up
-running to the save point immediately after starting MIS_ST_03 skips receiving the quest altogether and breaks progression
-hitboxes stick around with some cancels
-patched a couple environment art holes in MIS_ST_03 area
-can get stuck in shoulder cam mode
-old runstop still plays in some scenarios
-groundpound decal spawns sideways when floor is set to "no collision"

-can throw guns instead of axe in some heavy attacks
-amelia keeps running if bonfire is triggered while input is in a direction
-fillrate optimizations for rain effects and ny_pier area
