NEW DEMO (v0.8.9.9b) RELEASE

Hi there!

We finally got an update for you all! The progress on Version 0.9 is going very good and its release is pretty close and that's why we decided to release a new Demo before the big release!

This Story Demo may not continue the plot from v0.61a, but it shows you the (nearly) final build of the first areas in the game, including story, graphics and gameplay. You will even be able to use your saved progress for v0.9 and 1.0.

All the changes in detail:

• STORY (complete with v0.9):
  • Reworking of dialogues, scenes and lore texts
  • Prologue, Chapter 1.1 and 1.2
  • 18 Side Quests
  • 13 Mercenary Errands
• AREAS (complete with v0.9):
  • 5 Villages, Towns or Cities
  • 5 Wild Lands
  • 5 Dungeons (obligatory and optional)
  • 5 Optional Locations
• GRAPHICS:
  • Updated artworks with the help of Phineas "Corviday" Klier and AbsoScribbles
  • Updated menu designs and user interfaces
  • Updated pixel art assets
• AUDIO:
  • Updated and added music tracks (e.g. YouFulca)
• GAMEPLAY:
  • Changed the battle system from ATB (Time Bar filling up) to CTB (turn based similar to Final Fantasy X)
  • Updated Balancing
  • Update of status effects in battle: status effects ALWAYS hit their target, as long as it's not entirely immune. This resistance increases with each hit though; so you can probably poison most of the enemies, but only a few times during the same battle
  • Adding a talent system (passive abilities which can be learned from accessories and freely selected)
  • Updated system for questlog
  • Updated system for skills (learning and level up)
• OTHER:
  • NPC, shops and quest target are marked
  • Unified marker for interactions with treasures, puzzles and secret passages
  • Unified special battle mechanics like breaking barriers or weakening enemies
  • Several quality of life changes to make combat more intuitive and dynamic
  • Information about treasures, relics and essences in areas is accessible from the world map
  
  

We hope that you're gonna have lots of fun with this demo! We'd appreciate some feedback and we will see us soon in version 0.9!
