And I finished! That was a great game! Thank you

[Aevin]

Thanks for playing! Really glad you enjoyed it!

A fairly large bugfix patch is now live. This will break current saves.

Changelog

- Leech Jellyfish have had their behavior reworked. Large jellies move more slowly and grab, rather than leech. Medium and small no longer leech, instead simply moving faster while having more HP and splitting into more smalls.
- Splitting Kamens now stop moving when their masks separate to reveal the core.
- Submerging Bone Worms and Skull Fish have had their HP significantly reduced.
- Bonus areas have minimap markers for keys now. Cases of the minimap showing nonexistent paths have also been fixed.
- On that note, several minimap bugs, such as items not being displayed for some rooms or duplicate boss markers appearing, have been fixed.
- A critical bug that could result in enhance being removed from your inventory has been fixed.
- Several elements that weren't haltable before, such as some traps, should now behave correctly.
- Horizon and Autimecia no longer deal absurd damage with certain attacks.
- Several misc smaller bugfixes, too numerous to list, have been fixed. While a few more pesky ones still remain, this should resolve most of the bugs that have been reported since release.

The next update should feature a decent amount of new content. However, given the serious nature of some of the bugs found recently, a bugfix update seemed warranted.

Have a bug fix update for our bug fix update!

 

The last update introduce some unexpected issues, including one that could prevent people from finishing their runs. Definitely recommended to update to this one, but if you're still in the middle of a run from one of the original release files, this will break saves.

 

Edit: Aaand another quick update. This solved a minor issue with leeches and includes optimizations that should minimize lag in most situations. More optimizations are coming in the future, (looking at you, bone worms), so hopefully we'll soon have this running as smoothly as possible even on low-end machines.

Where am I supposed to go with the cursed souls? I've gotten all 8 of them and I'm not sure what to do with them. I'm playing the Yurei map if it makes any difference.

There is a room in Willville that seemed to be a completely empty dead-end and do absolutely nothing at all. Use a certain spell you got from the bonus areas in the middle of this room. The game will tell you where you need to go next.

Does one miss out on the hint on what to do next, if one beats the venser boss after collecting the 8 things?

[Aevin]

When you collect all 8, you get a hint of where to take them. When you beat the boss, most characters get a "you need to explore more" message. If you try to trigger the event in the Willville room before beating the final boss, you'll get a hint telling you to do so.

 

We really ought to have a repeatable hint, since the hints can be a bit obscure and easy to forget ... But no matter what order you do it in, you should still get all the hints.

[Aevin]

We just submitted a very important update! We've resolved some global script structuring issues and eliminated nearly all frame drops from the quest! Players on low end systems should see a very significant improvement in performance. Some frame drops and slowdown may occur rarely with certain combinations of enemies and weapons (ie, Sunsphere on that screen full of 4 giant skull worms), but it should no longer hamper the overall experience.

 

There have also been various bug and balance changes. You can see a more detailed change log in the notes on the quest page. It's highly recommended you update before doing any new runs, but switching in the middle of a run isn't recommended.

 

We're hoping to post an update with some substantial new content in the near future as well. I hope you'll look forward to it!

[Russ]

Small update today. The biggest feature is that wind and magic stream can now reveal block markers, if you sustain fire on the wall, making sound no longer the best choice for revealing item triggers. We also fixed a bug where bosses would fail to spawn if playing as Ava, buffed playable Holm, and fixed a few smaller bugs.

I can't seem to find the cursed soul for the challenge version of Cocytus

Not sure if you got an answer on this yet, but ... This is an odd one based on some obscure knowledge of original Hitodama. It's honestly kind of bad, though there is at least a little bit of a hint. In the electrified water room at the south end of the area, where you previously got a key, dive in the upper left corner of the room.

so I think it would be nice if Yuurand had an option to turn off that strobing light pattern from the Reikon labyrinth cathedral area, that one that flashes across the screen in diamond patterns. (as well as the other areas that effect shows up in, Reikon's Venter Mortis and like a single screen in Radiant Prismia iirc)

 

that would be a helpful option for accessibility imo. I know for myself personally, due to my photosensitivity, those areas are always nigh unplayable for me because that light flashing thing is so elaborate and intense that it's just extremely unpleasant and nausea inducing.

 

at the very least, it would be good to have an option to replace it with something less intense, if outright disabling the effect would be too much of a design concession for those areas.

 

anyways, just a thought i've had for a while and wanted to put out there.

 

 

 

(btw, entirely unrelated but where's the music of the new Mictlan area from? it's good as hell lol)

[Ether]

 

Can't help with the rest, obviously, but that's Mictlan.

You do raise a good point there. I'm hesitant to outright change it myself, as those areas are Aevin's, and he's expressed an attachment to the effect, but I can certainly approach him regarding an accessibility option for it. With your photosensitivity, what is the worst aspect of the effect? If it were to be a single, duller color but still play the same animation, would that be better?
