* The balance and management of Homes in the beta version will be quite different. Currently, there is no limit on the number of residents for load testing purposes and such, but a normal Home is expected to have about 10-20 people(Not that 100+ Home will be impossible). A month or so before the beta, I plan to radically overhaul Home management and various aspects of the game based on feedback from the alpha.

[Notes]
[Notes]
  Issues with Japanese character input and character corruption are likely errors in Unity itself, so I'm considering updating the Unity version used in Elin. However, updating Unity might cause unexpected errors in the game, so it should be tested thoroughly at a later date.
* For Zephyr and Gunlance, the occasional firing during melee attacks is intentional.
* Regarding gene hunting in Moon Gates, this is currently considered a gray area. It will be reviewed when more methods for obtaining genes are introduced.
* Quests removed from the quest tracker can be re-displayed by clicking the bell icon in the quest list in the journal.
 
<big>'''Hotfix'''</big>
* Fixed an issue where the version was still displayed as "Hotfix 2" from the previous update(23.26). By design, this hotfix is now Hotfix 3.
* Fixed an issue where the pet's name would not appear in the interaction menu when mounted and with a parasitic pet present.


  Due to meetings about the additional production of acrylic blocks and re-shipment of thank-you cards, development time might be limited for the next few days. Bug reports have been settling down, so I plan to start working on monster behavior settings from tomorrow. Changes and additions to individual monster behaviors will not be specifically mentioned in the release notes.

<big>'''Hotfix'''</big>

<big>'''11/11 2024'''</big>
* Fixed a glitch with a single vertical and horizontal line appearing in sea animations (We've received several reports, but as the glitch seems to depend on the graphics card and couldn't be confirmed on our end, this is a predictive fix.

For all previous changes in the Nightly version, please refer to past updates.
* Fixed the transition process of BGM for rooms, maps, and jukeboxes.
* Fixed a bug where the PC would spawn in strange locations upon death.
* Other minor changes and fixes.
 
[Note]

However, as it might take some time to implement all these features, I'm considering adding a temporary 'Managed Home' ordinance.

* Plans include instance-based map requests for subjugation quests, similar to elona.

* Currently, it is intended behavior that food-related enchantments are not applied when cultivating medicinal herbs.

[Notes]
* Gwen's replication is intentional.
* As merchandise shipping has started, I may be busy handling that and updates might be slower for a few days. Regarding shipping, due to the large volume of orders, items will be dispatched sequentially from the warehouse, and it may take several days to complete all shipments. I will post an update once all shipments are complete, so please wait until then.
 
Hotfix
* Fixed a bug where items inside tents were not being saved.
* Due to changes in the world save format, for safety reasons, it has been uploaded as a Nightly version.
 
  The Nightly version is a test version of the game before it is officially updated. You can participate in this by right-clicking on Elin in your Steam library, then going to 'Property > Beta'. As I develop the game alone, it's difficult to allocate sufficient time for testing, so in the future,  I plan to start releasing  the latest  updates in the Nightly version, and once their stability is confirmed, I will proceed with an official update.
Currently, save data is shared between the Nightly and the official versions.

[Thanks]
  Thank you very much for the numerous bug reports and feedback since the start of the alpha! Before introducing major new features, the development team plans to continue improving the fundamental aspects of the game based on your feedback. In the meantime, we hope to write some documentation for mods and possibly open up the Steam Workshop. Please bear with us a little longer regarding the unlocking and adjustments of network-related aspects, as we have received reports of vulnerabilities in the PHP scripts.

[Notes]
[Notes]
  Individual recipes for weapons and armor, other than the initial recipes, were abolished just before the alpha release as they were not particularly interesting to craft and led to an excess of production facilities. Although it will be some time, we plan to introduce special equipment crafting and existing equipment enhancement.
* The Sun Lamp emits sunlight even when its light is off (also when there is no power).
More improvements are planned for Nefia in the future.

* Currently, if a feat is added by a mod and then the mod is removed, any skills or other stats granted by the feat remain. While this is an area of improvement we’d like to address in the core game, changes may need to coincide with a save data reset if required in the future.
[Additions]

[Notes] The save data backup function only creates backups; manual copying is necessary for restoration. For more details, please refer to the System section in Travel Wisdom. A solution for lost invoices in the Loytel debt quest is under consideration, so please wait a bit longer. Currently, there is too much feedback to read everything, so finding a better approach is being considered.

  • Various minor fixes and adjustments.

[Notes]

[Mod Notes]

  • Currently, if a feat is added by a mod and then the mod is removed, any skills or other stats granted by the feat remain. While this is an area of improvement we’d like to address in the core game, changes may need to coincide with a save data reset if required in the future.
  • For loading mods when launching Elin outside of Steam, the feature is already present, so this should be enabled from the EA version onward (currently, it tries to load the workshop folder for the production version of the app, so the feature is inactive).

Hotfix 1

  • Fixed an issue where the effects of the "Heavy Eater" and "Light Eater" feats were not applied correctly.

Hotfix 2

  • The “Seasoning” slot in cooking recipes now requires items categorized as “Seasoning” rather than items labeled as “Seasoning.”

[Notes]

  • Gene drops follow the same conditions as for regular enemies’ loot drops (applies only when not allies, residents, or while in user maps). However, as there are currently limited means of obtaining genes, they will temporarily also drop in user maps.

[Fixes]

  • Various minor fixes and adjustments.

[Note]

  • Files and folders previously stored alongside the executable have now been moved to the same location as save data.

If any issues or unexpected behavior arise due to this change, please consider reporting them.

EA 23.3

10/28 2024

  • Fixed a bug that caused unique character traits (such as a Yowyn horse’s speed) to disappear when adjusting levels for characters like infants or bosses during generation.
  • Various other minor fixes and adjustments.

[Notes]

  • Experience points will be gained upon casting the identification spell, even before an item is actually identified, as intended.
  • Unopened treasure chests with enhancement levels, as well as furniture enhanced with a wrench, already carry intrinsic value as heirlooms, given the associated cost. Further adjustments for added value are not currently planned.

  • Corrected the swapped positions of "Talk" and "Attack" options when using middle-click.
  • Various minor fixes and adjustments.

[Notes]

  • Evolution species not being included in the Warrior Guild's bounty hunts is currently intentional, as they are considered neutral beings.

EA 23.2

  • Evolved monsters in a neutral state that always drop genes now appear randomly.
  • Adjusted the traits of the final traces of faint goodwill left in this unbearable world.

  • Stationary enemies will no longer track the PC through pathfinding if the PC moves out of range.

[Fixes]

  • Fixed an issue where Heavy Armor Casting was no longer showing as an acquirable feat.

  • Corrected an issue preventing torii gates from being stacked on pillars outside of Debug Mode (proper placement is on top of pillars).
  • Various other minor fixes and adjustments.

[Notes]

  • Feedback on previous versions and ideas for improvements are always welcome. For pet skill acquisition, the current balance will remain (skills through skill books or genes). Given the demand for certain skills, there may be an option for the mysterious young girl to sell genes containing only specific skill memories.
  • In both the Japanese and English versions, the terminology for gene dominance and recessiveness includes playful language.
  • Regarding Specwing’s adventurers, the fairy town is intentionally designed as a gathering place for adventurers.
