  Patch 1.1.1 - Steam Achievements! Happy New Year~

  A follow up to the past patch, thanks to the new engine, we now have... drum roll... achievements via Steam! Ta-da! This is a follow up to the prior patch (you can see info of that update here) and mostly focuses on making sure all the achievement stuff is up and working. Steam Achievements Achievements are checked once a minute, so if you open your past saves, just give it a minute or so and you should have them automatically unlock. You can also get your achievements unlocked on any save file, so if you have a separate save where you got some things done and another where you didn't, you will still get all achievements unlocked from those individual save files. Other Changes Additionally, the following has been adjusted... Fixed some more typos Added a screen with additional credits for people for EasyRPG Player and help with the achievement integration C7: Added checks and handling to make sure that you have these achievements in case you met the criteria but it didn't activate properly C9: Fixed issue where the Lime Green achievement wouldn't necessarily show as unlocked in the achievement area Save Files If your save files don't appear to be loading, sorry, that's an unfortunate side effect of this change; they're just in a different folder! Fortunately, follow these steps and they will be back and running as they haven't been deleted. Right click the game in your library, go "manage" and then "browse local files." Navigate to the "Data" folder. Your save files should be there as Save.lsd! Drag it to the main folder and the game will detect them properly! Outro That's all! As mentioned with the past update, if you want to see any merch we now have, you can see here. But besides that... Thank you for your time, and see you again with... Garenburg Penitence!

  Patch 1.1.0 - Engine Updates, Merch, & Future

  Hello all! This update is a pretty big one at the same time as pretty simple; it massively improves some features with the update at the same time as being not that different. If you already played through Garenburg Woods, you don't need to worry much about this update. That said, there is something planned you should still see that'll be coming! Engine Improvements This main update puts us on EasyRPG Player, a project that allows the game to run much better on modern platforms. This will mean that this should run more smoothly than before, have much more options and settings and features for toggling, and make it overall a better and less archaic experience. Huge thanks to EasyRPG Player for their great work with everything! Thanks to EasyRPG Player, the following settings and features are now present... Video settings: Toggle full screen, window zoom, FPS counter, V-Sync, stretching, scaling methods, resolution, and pausing when focus is lost. I recommend leaving "Pause when focus lost" on. You no longer need to select windowed or full screen at launch, you can just toggle whenever you'd like! Audio settings: You can manually toggle the volume of sound effects and music now. Input settings: You can now change key bindings and gamepad support. And you can also use Fast Forward, which will make your movement and the game speed way quicker if you want to! Additionally, the following has been adjusted... Fixed various typos and grammar issues C8: Fixed the color of dialogue text when Vincent is speaking to match his prior dialogue; this was an unintentional oversight Save Files If your save files don't appear to be loading, sorry, that's an unfortunate side effect of this change; they're just in a different folder! Fortunately, follow these steps and they will be back and running as they haven't been deleted. Right click the game in your library, go "manage" and then "browse local files." Navigate to the "Data" folder. Your save files should be there as Save.lsd! Drag...
