IndoorMinotaur Posted September 1, 2020 Author Posted September 1, 2020 New Release: Version 0.142! Hey everyone! Not doing an image this week, because almost all the new stuff is system tweaks or changes to stuff that already exists. You can get the full scoop down below, just remember that all bets are off for old save files at this point until the full launch. I've knocked a lot of the features out I was hoping for, so here's what's left to tackle: - New Art - More adult scenes - Playtesting - Balance - Bug Fixes - Fleshing out all the endings a bit more Until next time, hope you enjoy! Version 0.142 - 8-28-2020 - (Breaks old save compatibility) Added a new cutscene with 2 variations which helps to contextualize some of the endings Added an “overkill” feature, granting bonus rewards for overkilling easier enemies Base weather effects now carry over into battles from the map Added a shortcut keybind to the Stat Allocation menu (“P” by default) Added keyboard functionality for name & number entry Added the ability to rename most weapons and armor (useful for keeping track of rune upgrades or hidden abilities, or just for fun) Added a “message speed” feature to the options menu Redesigned the shop buttons for use with a mouse Made some minor tweaks to the early cutscenes for better quality & continuity Mercy no longer starts with 100 SP; instead, she gains 100 after choosing her Essence Type Fixed an issue where spending 300 SP only increased crit chance by .5% instead of 1% Fixed the coloring on some of Orus’s weapons Adjusted a typo in the target rate distribution & made it cost 100 SP instead of 300 Fixed an issue where trying to leave the throne room in the opening dream sequence revealed the wrong portrait Want to become a patron or try the public build?

IndoorMinotaur Posted September 5, 2020 Author Posted September 5, 2020 Release 0.143: The Exterminator Hello, everyone! Version 0.143 is here! I'm working on a couple of actually COOL things this week (that you'll learn more about soon), but most of my fun took a backseat to the Biblical plague of bugs that I've been busy annihilating. Thanks to JJJ from the Discord for reporting a number of these. The full list is down below. The keen observer might also notice some new content and fairly significant balance changes sneaked in there, and I am caught red-handed: it's been a busy week in Development Purgatory, but the finished result is a much refined and improved experience for everyone, I think. And it's all fully compatible with last week's build, so don't fret there. Chances are, everything will be compatible now even up through the full launch and beyond. Ready to try the public build or become a patron? Visit https://www.patreon.com/indoorminotaur Version 0.143 - 9-4-2020 Made equipment scale slightly higher to avoid scenarios where the player never upgrades once they have runes slotted into early gear Reduced the point value of HP on gear and in the upgrade screen from 20:1 > 15:1, which should also address axes seeming disproportionately easy to use at lower levels Added Maven back to the cove post-siege Added a new campsite in the Glass Sea only accessible with Qel that starts a new quest (WIP) Level caps are now 50 instead of 99, though SP can still be earned indefinitely. Stat allocation is capped for primary stats at 100 each and 33 for special parameters like crit and evasion Fixed an issue where renovating the throne room after accepting the Iron & Scale quest could result in Meghan repeating dialogue about it Fixed an issue with the doorway from the cove to the residential area sometimes not showing up correctly Fixed a few outdated cooking fires Fixed an issue where Lily could still remain after the first siege even if she died Fixed an issue where Lily could mention Bartleby even if he wasn’t recruited Fixed an issue where Mercy’s “Coat On” Switch wasn’t properly tagged when entering Esterholt, resulting in the wrong fishing animations Fixed a missing portrait issue for Beatrix in the Carvannah palace dungeon Fixed an issue where the mining cart riding sprite wouldn’t appear correctly in Hawk’s Keep Fixed a portrait issue in the frozen caves passage Fixed an issue where donating wool or milk to Lindsay in Aster Valley would incorrectly subtract a cumulative amount from your inventory equal to everything you’d donated so far Fixed an issue where a guard in Fogsborough could appear in more than one place at once Fixed an issue where Marlan could appear twice during a cutscene in the cove Fixed an issue where the lumber could remain at Fort Wilkes even after the raft was built Fixed an issue where riding in the Hawk’s Keep mining cart in chapter 9 could send you back to the chapter 7 Hawk’s Keep Fixed an issue where the quest log still referred to the Emperor Crab as a fish Fixed an issue where Quinn and Bartleby might not appear if they were recruited from the flame temple quest Fixed an issue where Bartleby and Quinn would have dialogue based on the wrong death flags instead of their partner’s Fixed an issue where you could enter the cove’s boathouse during the red moth cutscene, causing a scene break Fixed an issue where Franz could appear before the final siege even if he had previously died Fixed an issue where Mercy was unable to ride Orus in certain cove map variations in later chapters Fixed an issue with the Red Iron Stump greatsword where it was not correctly applying the Dizzy state Fixed an issue where leaving Mercy’s bedroom after ch. 8 could fail to prompt a choice to leave the dorms directly Fixed an issue where Mercy’s “Daughter of Essence” class wasn’t correctly applying the added physical damage penalty Fixed an issue where a number of quests in the journal without names or places would have placeholder names Fixed an issue where Marlan could appear in two places at once when returning from Witchdale

IndoorMinotaur Posted October 12, 2020 Author Posted October 12, 2020 New Release: v0.148 (Alpha & Weekly!) Konbanwa, comrades. We have made considerable strides (finally) with a new system for overhauling the game's overlaying image systems, which will hopefully improve performance quite a bit in builds to come as well as make maps look more interesting and dynamic in the process.

IndoorMinotaur Posted October 25, 2020 Author Posted October 25, 2020 New Release: v0.150!!! What the HECK, version 150! This week's build continues last week's optimization efforts and extends the visual upgrades to a number of maps across the game, but perhaps more excitingly, it also begins a brand new side-story set in all-new explorable territory! This side-adventure prominently features everyone's favorite innkeeper, Leite, but it also promises to reveal some more fairly deep game lore about a couple of other mysterious characters, so I hope this catches your attention. The area is fully explorable now and already contains some new lore, but's still a WIP, so there's a lot more to come. If this wasn't exciting enough, we are going to have another big announcement coming soon, so stay tuned. - Nym Version 0.150 - 10-23-2020 Added a new large, explorable region to the game (WIP) Added the beginnings of a major new optional side-chapter that will reveal a lot of hidden lore Updated a number of maps across the game for improved quality, performance and tile diversity Fixed some tile overlay issues Fixed some lighting issues Fixed an issue where grey stalkers were incorrectly in possession of night’s essence instead of earth’s essence Fixed an issue with Orus’s Overgrowth spell, where it would remove the old Overgrowth effect before adding the new one, effectively resetting any overhealing each time.

Carlisse’s Diamond Shell status now correctly reflects all physical damage types Fixed a chest sprite issue Fixed a stray reaction bubble during a cutscene Fixed an issue where resisting Moon’s essence left her things behind in Witchdale Fixed some tile passability issues Fixed some incorrect portrait issues Fixed a missing transfer event in the New Light tavern Fixed an issue where some of the paths through Mubarek Monastery would result in the Moon/Elijah scene image not correctly displaying New to the game or want to become a patron?

IndoorMinotaur Posted December 12, 2020 Author Posted December 12, 2020 New Release: The Test ZONE (v0.157) Hi everyone, excited to report that I'm doing a final super thorough start-to-finish run through now to polish things up before the official release. Consequently, there are a LOT of small tweaks and changes and revisions and bug-fixes in the list this week, but don't be daunted. Many of them are relatively minor changes, and there shouldn't be any issues with save compatibility. The majority of these changes are to phrasing, line-breaks for clearer readability, minor battle positioning, things like that. Some of the "larger" changes come in the form of changed scene dialogue and a fancy new battle cursor. I'm only about halfway done the sweep now, so expect a similarly long list of changes next week. Then it mostly comes down to waiting for art, maybe adding a few little bonus features here and there!

Enjoy, Nym Become a patron or try the public build at https://www.patreon.com/indoorminotaur Version 0.157 - 12-11-2020 Added some new dialogue and cutscene visuals to create more foreshadowing about Mercy’s fate Added battle selection cursors to more clearly indicate targets Updated some maps for better quality and tile diversity Fixed a portrait-related crash in Mar’Liore Fixed some typos Fixed an issue where Fishmaster Luca incorrectly reports the Goofer record as 0 cm.

This allows for a broader range of variable ATB speeds and also better matches the maximum speed of 2.5. More images are now preloaded to help limit delayed parallax pop-in on larger maps Fixed an issue where interacting with the statue in the cove extension before the timer expired would disable the timer without disabling the switch, leaving all the gates open on the way out The Health Rune’s item description has been corrected to reflect a gain of 90 HP The Mana Rune has been buffed from +15 to +24 MP, and the Staff Rune has been buffed from +12 to +20 MP Target Rate bonus has been increased from 3% to 5% when spending Skill Points Fixed an issue where the ship lighting persisted into Carvannah, resulting in exterior lighting appearing indoors Fixed an issue where Ralph’s tent plays the wrong music after fading back in on the first cutscene Defeating Hallie now yields 275 XP, up from 125 Adjusted the Disarm animation Fixed some repeating animation issues Mercy can now rest in the Crows’ hideout after defeating Silas Madame Remora now correctly takes her 15 gold as payment for the fortune reading Fixed an issue where a few items couldn’t be looted as they incorrectly required the player to be facing upwards (including a Silver Card) Fixed some wall-crevice events which required talking to the wall twice to climb inside Fixed some bedroll events Fixed an issue where entering a building while riding Orus, then attempting to ride Orus while in the building, would fadeout the screen for a moment Re-fixed an old issue where Mercy could mention fishing on the Carvannah execution platform while absent Fixed an issue where Moon could skip a phase of dialogue after chapter 2 Fixed an issue where a number of enemy animated sprites were affected by the “breathing” plugin, causing pixel issues Mercy now fishes up unrefined essence of the sea instead of refined, ranging from 1-4 Fixed an issue where cooking fires were no longer extinguishing after 3 uses since the cooking system update When lit, cooking fires now also provide illumination in dark areas Fixed an issue where cooking fires were no longer providing the Warm status since the cooking system update Replaced some outdated cooking fires Adjusted the cooking fire sprite slightly to avoid pixel shifting when going from unlit to lit Fixed some passability issues Fixed an issue where Mercy could ride Orus into several Danforth Crook homes Fixed an issue where Mercy could ride Orus into the Nestmother’s home during a cutscene Fixed an issue with encounters not properly updating in Witchdale Adjusted some item descriptions to contain more information
IndoorMinotaur Posted December 19, 2020 Author Posted December 19, 2020 New Release: The TEST ZONE, Pt. 2 Hi everyone, back tonight with another huge list of tweaks and improvements as I continue my full start-to-finish sweep. I expect by next week, the revision phase will be completely finished and the game will be all polished up and ready to launch apart from unfinished art assets. Once those are all wrapped up... off to Steam, I guess!

IndoorMinotaur Posted December 25, 2020 Author Posted December 25, 2020 Happy Holidays! (Special Release) Hi everyone, I'm releasing the latest build early this year on account of tomorrow being Christmas, and because I wanted alpha patrons to be able to experience all the latest revisions before I take the next week to relax. I finished my 95 hour playthrough today and worked solidly over the weekend so I'd be able to deliver the most polished and perfected build to date for this strange and unprecedented holiday season, particularly while most of us are stuck at home away from friends and family. The patch notes are perhaps the longest I've had yet. Read them if you like, or don't. Whatever suits your fancy. Happy Holidays and much love to everyone, from Nym and Audrey.

IndoorMinotaur Posted January 9, 2021 Author Posted January 9, 2021 New Weekly Release: v0.160! Hi everyone, hope you had a nice holiday. I took a much-needed break from releasing a new build last week and just focused on adding content, fixing bugs and trying to finish up the polish for our upcoming Steam release. I've also been working on the store page and a new trailer, as well as talking with artists, voice actors and reading up on best practices for publication. It's so close to being finished that I'm starting to go full stress mode over every last tiny little detail. Anyway, another long set of patch notes with a lot of nice new features. Happy New Year, and I hope you enjoy. - Nym Become a patron to try this build or access the public version at https://www.patreon.com/indoorminotaur Version 0.160 - 1-8-2021 A fishing guide has been added to the fishing journal, and the basics are displayed when the Fishing Rod is first acquired The Quest Journal is now bound to the “J” key (old saves must reset controls to default before the change will take effect) The shortcut to call the Skill Point allocation screen is now “K” The keyboard controls overlay that appears on startup can now be accessed in-game, and is also updated to reflect the journal and advancement shortcuts Fishing has received some bug-fixes, improvements, and tweaks to Lures Mercy’s fishing sprite now differs slightly based on rod type A special new fishing rod can be crafted by upgrading Gertrude’s forge Declining to fish while riding Orus no longer dismounts Dismounting Orus to fish now properly flags the “dismounted” variable so the screen will no longer fade out while trying to re-mount in an unacceptable area Lures and Bait now have colored options in the choice menu, and can also be used simultaneously Lures have been changed; now instead of being a flat Luck multiplier, Luck is multiplied based on the initial fishing check. This is to prevent high-luck characters from over-fishing essence while still ensuring Luck applies to fishing success rate Some of the wait commands have been removed from fishing, reducing the down time The fishing success sound effect has been changed from a bell to a gentler chime Items were made easier to fish, down to 10 inputs from 13 Added an additional short sequence to the “keep fighting” ending route “Trance” has been removed. It never worked correctly to begin with, and never quite lived up to the ideas for implementation that I had for it, so I’ve cut it in preparation for 1.0 Added missing glasses to a couple of Agatha’s portraits Added new pieces of Mercy’s backstory hidden around Shiveworth Added a little more evidence of something hidden at the Carvannah aqueducts entrance Added a new recruitable character & bathhouse suite The 2nd floor of the bath house is now accessible after a certain point even if Liis was not recruited--it is merely empty The empty “Advancement” menu has been removed from the skills category, a carry-over from the old Skill Point distribution system that no longer did anything The “Equip Skills” command has been changed to “Prepare,” since skills is its own command and spells can also be equipped The “Skills” command in the main menu has been changed to “Abilities,” since skills and spells are separate. The Skills submenu has been changed to “Weapon Skills” for clarity The “Item” menu option has been changed to “inventory” The timed attack cursor has been modified from a plain white line to a colored diamond Full-length busts are now shown in combat for characters who have them instead of only the small face portraits Fixed a tile overlay issue Fixed some pixel errors and flickering on Mercy & Orus’s injured battler sprites The timed attack result is now all caps for better spacing, and the result parameters have been adjusted slightly to allow for “perfect” results The timed attack target points have been adjusted slightly to to better match the visuals Fixed an issue preventing dialogue from appearing during the fight with Corrine Fixed some typos Fixed an issue where a colon appeared after Mercy’s name in a couple of encounters Encountering 2 vox silvae at once now correctly counts both enemies’ deaths towards the full tally The minimum ATB and HP bar lengths have been reduced to mitigate instances where a bar could overlap another enemy’s sprite Fixed an issue where Fukuro wasn’t properly loading into the fight against the Grey Lions Interacting with the bird in the Aster Canyon while riding Orus now properly dismounts so she isn’t speed-walking after the scene Added some additional effects to the final canyon sequence The background sound effect now properly fades during the scene transfer from the canyon Fixed some text runoff Adjusted some lighting for better performance Fixed a lighting issue in the cove throne room Adjusted some parallel processes for better performance Adjusted some of the ending narratives for better quality and continuity Attempted to fix possible crashes caused by some systems being slower to reference images that are flickering on and off Fixed a broken color code in a journal entry Fixed the formatting on the scene when inspecting the looted crab hide Fixed an issue where Fishmaster Luca could reference being in Witchdale when in Mar’Liore or Emerald Flats Changed the contents of a couple of different chests Swagger is now correctly removed at the end of a battle
IndoorMinotaur Posted January 17, 2021 Author Posted January 17, 2021 Huddle Up, Gang (+ New Release) Hi everyone! New release tonight with some finishing touches, bug-fixes and added dialogue. I'm just about done with the game, and now I have to wait for a couple of artists and a couple of voice actors to wrap up some new pieces for me. By next week, we should be working on the upcoming Steam release! So please keep your eyes out for that. We're really not sure what our next project will be. We've got some ideas but we're waiting to see how it all pans out. Thanks for taking the journey with us (and tolerating this really long thread!) Nym Version 0.161 - 1-15-2021 New scene art added Added new dialogue lines to some of the cove residents after the final siege Added a new Rondo segment to the Monastery chapter, in which the player can learn new things about the church and some of the supporting characters there Added a book in Aster Village with historical details about the crater Recruitable NPC Bandon is now useable during the siege & has new dialogue Adjusted a number of lines through the game for added context and better continuity Fixed a couple of lingering small portraits during combat Fixed an issue where Moon doesn’t correctly check for clovers to craft potion of plenty Fixed some typos Myerte will now correctly appear on the monument if she falls during the siege Adjusted some lighting for better performance Fixed some poorly-converted dialogue from smart text to plain-text & resized one of the Vincent and Gertrude scenes Fixed a tile and passability error in the post-siege residential area Made it impossible for NPCs to enter the doorframes of certain rooms to avoid them getting stuck for long periods
IndoorMinotaur Posted January 25, 2021 Author Posted January 25, 2021 New Release: v0.162! Hey folks, got another new release fresh out of the oven with some cool new content and a couple of important bug fixes. As you might have seen last week, we're coming up on total completion, and at this stage, besides addressing bug reports, I'm just adding fun bonus content and making little improvements while I wait for the artists and voice actors to wrap up. I'm shooting for a March release, so fingers-crossed all my assets are wrapped up in time. I won't set an official date until I have it all, but it shouldn't be much longer. Until then, I'll keep adding and improving and fixing! - Nym https://www.patreon.com/indoorminotaur Version 0.162 - 1-22-2021 Added a new hidden area in the Isle of Deer with a special reward Gertrude can fix the reward for Mercy’s personal use, or Belka can optionally use the reward, which increases her stats in the final siege Added a new Leite scene for the [Keep Struggling] ending route Dietrich can be found later in the game if he was not recruited early on, which makes the Aklas quest completable for a reward Added a variety of new stat-requirement hidden treasures to the game Made new grassy-door sprites for Aster Village Improved the Witchdale mapping The cove docks map in the outro is now different depending on the cove’s resourcefulness Fixed an issue where it was possible to crash into a wall in the Mubarek theater and get bounced into an object Fixed a possible portrait-related crash after the battle with Franz Fixed a passability issue on the 2nd siege planning room from version 161 Mercy now pays Dietrich 300 gold from the cove fund for his services if she chooses to resist his essence Fixed a move route issue when attempting to enter the Forbidden Tent in the cove before investigating it Fixed an issue with the Moon Shard incorrectly reducing Orus’s Defense by 500 (?!) instead of 5
IndoorMinotaur Posted January 31, 2021 Author Posted January 31, 2021 New Alpha & Weekly Release: v0.163! WELCOME, one & all, to the last alpha release before launch (most likely)! Alpha releases will probably still continue after launch for a while to get people trying out bonus content, but in a different form; for instance, it might be like a build you have to opt into via Steam. A lot of nice little things have been added or improved since the last alpha release to be sure, but since just last week, we have entered what I am calling the Fun Zone, where bug reports have more or less stopped coming in, content is essentially wrapped up, and I am just adding fun bonus content while I wait for assets. The Fun Zone will continue for the next couple of weeks, along with lots of quality assurance, as I prepare for a hopeful March release. Somewhere between now and then, I'll also have to figure a lot of things out, like how to launch a game(?) & whether it's going to launch with achievements or whether I should implement those later (or if it's even possible). There's also a chance implementing achievements could break save files, so we'll have to wait and see. There is a lot of work to do if I am going to launch on time, and I'm sort of in denial about it all at the moment! Anyway, this alpha will be going up as the pre-release build on Steam after the weekend and as long as no bugs are found before then, so expect to see the store page some time next week. It's actually already finished, just waiting on the package before it can go live. Exciting stuff! The best way to keep your finger on the pulse of all these goings-on is probably to join the Discord (https://discord.com/invite/7hTwuTH) or follow along on Twitter (https://twitter.com/IndoorMinotaur). Until then! You can get the alpha build by becoming a patron. The older public build is still available. Both are available at https://www.patreon.com/indoorminotaur Version 0.163 - 1-29-2021 Added new NSFW scene art Added new voice lines to Leite’s outro scene Added new easter egg NPCs Added new hidden items Added a public library to Carvannah noble district (WIP) Improved some combat animations Added TOM, THE STRONGEST MAN ALIVE (optional super tough Marlan fight) Re-rendered battle backgrounds for better picture quality & optimization (+ reduced file size)
IndoorMinotaur Posted February 6, 2021 Author Posted February 6, 2021 New Release: 1.0????!!!! (0.164 also) Hi everyone, tonight's launch is going to be the official 1.0 Steam release (assuming nothing catches on fire tonight), which is really scary and exciting. However, I'm going to maintain the 0.x number scheme at the same time while I release weekly builds coming up to the Steam launch. Reason-being, I have to submit a build for approval to Steam before I can officially launch the page, so (slaps hood of build), I'm submitting this bad boy. Once the game officially launches on Steam, all the weekly builds between now and then will be rolled into a day-1 patch (something like version 1.01). Hope that makes sense to everyone! I've got a lot of new art coming out this week and more to come later, so I'm not out of the woods just yet. I've also got some Mercy voice lines coming in soon, and I'm absolutely determined to make those szarva game pieces do something before I perish. Anyway, that's where I'm at. For weekly patrons, things won't seem much different for a while as I keep cranking out builds every Friday. I hope you like 'em. - Nym https://www.patreon.com/indoorminotaur Version 1.0/0.164 - 2-5-2021 Added four brand new pieces of NSFW scene art Added a whole bunch of knowledge to the library in Carvannah Updated the title screen with new designs It is no longer possible to skip the opening chapter The opening splash screens are now skippable with 1 button press A “Quit” option has been added to the main menu for people on certain devices with only 1 USB who are using a controller (like a surface pro) Rockhide Eels are now skinnable for their hides, which can be crafted into gauntlets or a helm by Meghan in the renovated throne room Added an 18+ splash screen on startup When entering the Carvannah Library with Beatrix, she will read all the tomes to Mercy (given the circumstances) Fixed an issue where a secret fish was consumable & had no sale value Slightly modified font color palette Adjusted an image flickering scene to reduce instances where PCs slower to render images could result in reference error Changed menu, cancellation and confirmation sound effects to be more pleasing on the ears Every chapter you read in the library grants skill points!
IndoorMinotaur Posted February 14, 2021 Author Posted February 14, 2021 Steam Store Launch! Hi everyone, I'm excited to announce the approval and official launch of our Steam store page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1517470/Daughter_of_Essence/ The release date is set for March 12th.
