April 2022, Rapturous Public Update


Hey all~! It's been a little longer than I intended. I've been trying to add some features to the game for combat, which is always a big task. This update features several combat updates and a whole host of content.

===========================================================

There's quite a bit to explore! Here's a list of the highlights: 

  • New Composure/Fluster mechanics for combat, along with edits to cards to weave in strategies.
  • New armor and accessories system, still a WIP.
  • New scenes with Ares, including new artwork.
  • Expanded main story, now about 30% longer, going through Erenye's plot and introducing a few new characters.
  • Lots of new locations and dialogue menus.
  • Following Eik's quest will introduce you to the npc capable of increasing your Mental stat.
  • New side quest and special ability available through Tar and Zyyph.

That's not everything that was added but I hope it gets you ready for the new content!  Enter your name as "Skip" and you'll go to the end of the tutorial story. Also a note, the save system doesn't account for your current deck makeup, so you'll have to edit your deck every time you log off the game and log back in. I also recommend using the Q.Save and Q.Load features pretty much exclusively (it's more stable).

If you enjoy this project, I'd really appreciate support in the form of a donation, a patreon sub, or just feedback so I can make the project even better! This is mostly a one-person project (I've taken on some guest writers and designers,) so all support is really appreciated so I can keep working on it and do my best!

Fantastic update as always! Really enjoy the fluster mechanic. I did notice some bugs I wanted to bring up, but nothing minor! I don't think these count as spoilers, but I'll be vague as possible just in case. One, in my run through, I received the death tarot card, but was not able to access info when going to get it read. Secondly, I was able to bind creatures way before I was introduced to the character that binds them. I assume that mechanic will be expanded in the future? I hope so! It is a cool idea.

Thanks for finding that stuff! It's probably just some flags that I need to fix! I appreciate it. I hope you'll enjoy the next update as well. 

is there any way to update old saves to work with this version?

Sorry, there is not! Old saves just used different variables and will introduce bugs. Also some paths now have new content or new unlockables so it's just not possible.

in that case is it at least possible to back up old saves?
