* Improved tooltip display behavior and display speed.
* Adjusted the price of Little Capture Balls.
* Removed the minimum development value for Little Garden (allowing development to drop into the negative if Littles are killed).
* Adjusted the damage amount for suffocation.
* Adjusted stair movement so that the PC is not pushed out when there is an NPC on the destination staircase (to prevent drowning in Lumiest, for example).

[Notes]
[Notes]
* Regarding the policy for game balance adjustments, it's similar to Elona. We aim for a balance that seems about right (generally similar to Elona) and introduce various content into the game. Then, based on feedback, adjustments are made gradually if things seem off from the initial assumption. Long-term adjustments are considered for balance.
* The source of the buffs/debuffs affecting “Fox Ward” does not matter. The calculation is based solely on the number of active buffs/debuffs.
* Due to a backlog in processing feedback, this build temporarily restricts feedback submissions to the Nightly branch. Feedback can still be submitted outside of Nightly if a DLC code is activated.

  I’ve been receiving around 200–300 pieces of feedback per day, which I’m truly grateful for. However, I’m finding it quite challenging to keep up with everything. My PC is still not working well, so until the new one arrives, I’d like to focus on improving my development environment, including looking into recruiting staff to help with feedback and support. As for adding side quests and unique NPCs in towns, I’m hoping to start working on those in December.


[Additions and Changes]

[Notes]
Spellbooks influenced by specialty attributes only affect magic that has elemental counterparts (hand, arrow, bolt, ball, miasma, song). The generation rates of other types of magic, such as healing or support spells, are not affected. (However, currently, Meteor and Disenchant are influenced by specialty attributes.)
* The ability to increase the number of usable slots on beds to unlimited using a wrench is currently an intentional feature.
For procurement requests, items whose names do not match exactly will be treated separately, even if they have similar names.

[Notes]
* A method to completely prevent equipment destruction by ice or fire attacks will be added in the future. This may be a reward from unique quests. Additionally, many mid-to-late-game content, such as automated farming and high-level crafting recipes, are still planned to be introduced post-EA. Please note that Elin's beta is not the final version of Elin's beta, but rather a beta of early access version of Elin. Early access refers to a game that is playable to some extent but still under development, and Elin is planned to be in early access for several years.
* For Zephyr and Gunlance, the occasional firing during melee attacks is intentional.
* It is normal for some files to be reacquired during Steam's game file integrity check. This is likely because some dynamically changing configuration files are included in the execution folder.
* 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.

[Note]
<big>'''Hotfix'''</big>
  Regarding the changes to Ether Disease yesterday, it has been confirmed that curing Ether Disease, which had already manifested in previous versions, would be based on the effects of the new Ether Disease. For example, if the old Ether Disease reduced magic by -15, curing it would only restore the -4 from the new Ether Disease effect, resulting in a discrepancy of -11. Unfortunately, it is difficult to fully correct this issue, so a "Fix_EtherDisease" command has been added to the console.
* Fixed an error when sending feedback.
 
  If you experience the above symptoms, open "System Menu > Others > Console" and enter "Fix_EtherDisease". This will cure all current Ether Diseases, and if your status is below the initial value, it will be restored to the initial value +1. If there is still a significant difference from the original status, please adjust it using SetElement in the console, or contact me via Discord or the feedback section. I apologize for the inconvenience.

* The plan is to ease the difficulty of the very beginning stages by the beta release. Rather than just adjusting numbers, we are considering introducing features or items that make the game more enjoyable (feel free to share any good ideas you might have).
* Creating a field and digging with a shovel yields soil of that type, currently available in unlimited quantity.
* As for guild quests and rewards, they are currently treated as passive quests and rewards in Elin, resembling daily quests that are completed without active effort. When higher ranks are unlocked and players can exclusively advance within specific guilds, more interesting features might be possible. However, since there are multiple guilds and a lot of content, this will likely be delayed due to the current individual development situation.
* Dice rolls decrease when equipping fist weapons, by design (fist weapons’ performance fully combines with unarmed attack capabilities, including enhancement levels and penetration, which can make them overly powerful with enchantments or upgrades).
* Regarding the War-Torn Ivan, faith can be placed in it, but its implementation is not yet complete. Full implementation is planned within a few days.
* If movement is blocked by an obstacle, self-harm may occasionally trigger teleportation.
* Piety is a hidden value.
* If unable to speak with Fiama or Ash, it’s likely they are angry and neutral. Try talking through the middle-click menu, kill them temporarily, or allowing a few days to pass.

* The basic tax will increase by 100 Orens every month for five years.
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.
* The celebrity tax is a temporary measure, and in the future, I'm thinking to lower it and implement a system where taxes are applied to optional purchasable licenses (adventurer license, pioneer license, etc).
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.

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

* English translations will be commissioned collectively once the story is completed or if there is significant demand.
* To display damage as numbers, change "showNumbers" to true in config.txt. Note that this setting cannot be changed in-game since mid-α.

* Mandrake's Scream affects all targets without sound resistance, regardless of friend or foe.
*  
* Currently, Jure’s feather fragments have no specific use.
* The general distribution of beta keys is planned for early June. This is to ensure that major bugs and balance issues are fixed before those playing Elin for the first time can play the game, as their fresh feedback are important and I want them to be not distracted by bugs or balance issues..
* If a gene already added is removed with a recessive gene, feat points are returned (although the gene itself does not return).
* Although I wanted to add areas like cafeterias, chapels, and training grounds that would boost effects based on nearby facilities, focus on release testing for EA means this will likely be the final version for the beta test.

* Other minor fixes and adjustments.


[Notes]
[Notes]
* Due to changes in the metadata format of Moon Gates, using Moon Gates from the alpha version of Elin might result in errors.
* The speed boost effect on the Seven League Boots is intentional.
* Mods from the alpha version will not be compatible with the beta version. Starting from the beta, please add a <version></version> tag in the package.xml of the Mod and specify the version in which the Mod's operation is confirmed. Documentation for this will be provided in the future.
* A dedicated merchant for cassette tapes is planned for the future.
* Save data compatibility will be maintained as much as possible from the beta onwards; however, there might be instances where compatibility is lost due to specification changes. Additionally, since the game is still in development, items that are intended to be quest rewards, such as Moon Gates and Stargazer's Moon Gates, might be obtainable through unintended means before the quests are introduced. Your understanding is appreciated.
* Hair on resident animals will only regrow if they are raised as livestock and fed hay.
* Due to the short update intervals of the game, Chinese translations are currently lagging by several versions. Options such as releasing the Chinese version on a separate branch are being considered for the future.

* When sleeping at home, on the global map, or in random outdoor locations, the passage of time will be simulated for all owned homes.
* Refurbished the Truce Grounds (maps from versions prior to this update will regenerate once. As quests will eventually be added to this area, it may be best not to destroy it indiscriminately).

* Guests at the home will now generate with pocket money. The amount will be influenced by their hobbies and jobs.
* Added casting to the "Itzpalt" faith bonus (due to limited skill growth after resistance growth halts).
* Guests will go to sleep at bedtime. If they still have pocket money, they will pay for accommodation (based on the home’s tourism value) and use guest beds.
* Added two new plants, Blue Grass and Red Grass.
* Tourism value will be set for homes and displayed in the home bulletin board tooltip.
* Introduced a new item category, "Herbs."

* Added herbs as optional ingredients for the "Boiled Weeds" recipe.
* Income can be earned from guests based on the tourism value.
* Updated the "Bandage" recipe, removing the need for bones and adding herbs and fabric as optional ingredients.

* Adjusted companions so their hunger recovery rate during meals no longer doubles.
* Some home skills are now non-upgradable, and some have an upgrade limit.
* Introduced two new feats, "Heavy Eater," which reduces hunger recovery from meals (nutrition remains the same), and its opposite, "Light Eater," assigned to certain races. (Outside of initial feats, it’s under consideration to make this available as a shift option or similar for PCs and companions. The penalty for Light Eater can be ignored with careful meal planning.)
* Unique policies with very powerful effects that can only be enacted in one or a limited number of homes have been added.
* Added snow accumulation graphics.
* Introduction of tax-exempt zones. Income from non-tax-exempt land will be reduced by a certain percentage.

* Various minor fixes and adjustments.
* Various minor fixes and adjustments.


[Notes]
[Notes]
  The concept of tax-exempt zones has been introduced. The initial land is tax-exempt from the start, and players can have two additional tax-exempt zones (currently). Income from non-tax-exempt land will be heavily taxed. This change is to prevent inflation from creating multiple profit-focused homes, especially with the introduction of home ranking rewards and tourism income. Many players may want to minimize home management to focus on adventuring, and the main Elin storyline envisions operating around 2-4 homes. In the future, it might be possible to increase the number of tax-exempt zones by, for example, paying an additional 10,000 Oren monthly tax per zone (assuming each developed home generates more than this amount per month).
* The Sun Lamp emits sunlight even when its light is off (also when there is no power).


=== Pre-Beta 21.9 ===
[Mod Notes]
<big>'''5/19 2024'''</big>
* 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).


[Additions and Changes]
<big>'''Hotfix 1'''</big>
* Changed the maximum level of the Hearth Stone to 7 (The maximum level will be increased further as development progresses).
* Fixed an issue where the effects of the "Heavy Eater" and "Light Eater" feats were not applied correctly.
* A third land feature is unlocked at level 7.
* Added "Network" as a benefit of upgrading the Hearth Stone to level 5.
* Homes connected via Network will share the effects of some land features.
* The content level (danger level) of a home will now be adjusted based on its distance from the road on the world map (the farther from the road, the higher the danger level).
* The home bulletin board will display the content level of the home.
* Added multiple land feats.
* Added the "Attractiveness" home skill, which affects shipment values and tourism revenue (this skill cannot be manually upgraded and is currently assigned to coastal and snowy lands).
* When the fishing skill is high, or under the effects of certain land feats, it will be possible to catch multiple fish at once. Catching multiple fish will consume stamina for each fish caught.
* There is a very low chance of catching a statue while fishing.
* Enhanced fishing behavior and effects (added random waiting time before catching fish, randomized time to reel in the fish after a hit, etc.).


[Fixes]
<big>'''Hotfix 2'''</big>
* Various minor fixes and adjustments.
* The “Seasoning” slot in cooking recipes now requires items categorized as “Seasoning” rather than items labeled as “Seasoning.”
 
* Fixed an issue preventing non-food traits from being synthesized during cooking.
[Notes]
* Fixed an error that could occur when PC or NPCs are pelted with stones during performances.

* Players can make additional tax payments to Mysilia through the home maid or the secretary in Mysilia territory. Return gifts from Mysilia will be given only when additional taxes are paid.
* The tax evasion skill will not apply to additional taxes. If multiple homes have the tax evasion skill, the total value will be used. Skills that use the combined total value of multiple homes' skills will be specified in the skill descriptions.

* Added "Pioneering Advice" to Loytel's dialogue.

* Various minor fixes and adjustments.
* Fixed an issue where stacking status effects on bosses did not increase their resistance to that effect.
* Other minor fixes and adjustments.


[Notes]
[Notes]
* With this adjustment, unlike before, the more homes you have and the higher their value, the more benefits the player will receive. The balance of taxes and other elements will be revised and adjusted throughout the beta.
* Item acquisition rates in jobs and hobbies are all influenced by the efficiency of the resident performing them. Treasure hunting will also be attempted based on the number of residents with that job or hobby.
* 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.

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

* As for the Backer Wishes "Village of Nefu" and "Yevan of Strife," I have already started work on them, but completion may be pushed to after the beta release. I appreciate your understanding in this.

* 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.
* Newly added or modified feats for races and professions will not apply to existing characters. Apologies for the inconvenience-due to data limitations, this cannot easily be changed. Possible remedies such as character regeneration or gene-based solutions are being considered.

  The pre-beta development is progressing well, and I'm planning to start significant changes to the home and tax systems from next month, aiming to begin the beta in early June. There may be a pre-beta build release for alpha players around the end of next month for testing purposes.
* While the Mana Body 2 Feat is somewhat overpowered, this approach allows for some race or class abilities to remain strong. No changes have been made for now, though future adjustments may be considered.

Latest revision as of 02:12, 24 November 2024

Early Access

EA 23.37

11/23 2024

[Additions and Changes]

  • Added a key binding for quick load in the input settings (only enabled when allowed by an Oath).
  • Displayed the level of negative traits with -1 (internal values remain unchanged; this is a display adjustment only).
  • Evolved species can now become bounty targets.
  • Renamed short-circuited generators to make them more distinguishable.
  • Improved behavior where the PC would move erratically at high speed when the game becomes laggy.
  • Improved tooltip display behavior and display speed.
  • Removed the minimum development value for Little Garden (allowing development to drop into the negative if Littles are killed).
  • Adjusted stair movement so that the PC is not pushed out when there is an NPC on the destination staircase (to prevent drowning in Lumiest, for example).
  • Made the maximum danger level of crafted maps dependent on fame and displayed the maximum craftable danger level.
  • Enabled specifying the quantity of materials to retrieve from a base container using a middle click during crafting.
  • Made mana recoil no longer reducible by magic resistance.
  • Residents and allies now provide an XP bonus to feat points based on their favorability (-50% to +100%).
  • Rare enemies now generate miracle-tier equipment or small medals as drops at a high probability when they would otherwise drop nothing noteworthy.
  • Restricted quests that display enemies on the minimap to specific quests only.

[Fixes]

  • Fixed a freeze issue when moving across maps with a large number of companions.
  • Fixed an issue where bosses capable of terrain destruction could move twice in one turn.
  • Fixed an issue where informants could unlock nested locked containers.
  • Fixed semi-transparent text appearing in the slave trade and bartender recall screens.
  • Fixed the “Fox Ward” feat for Mifu, which was always active.
  • Fixed abilities stored in backpacks being moved during auto-sorting.
  • Other minor fixes and adjustments.

[Notes]

  • The source of the buffs/debuffs affecting “Fox Ward” does not matter. The calculation is based solely on the number of active buffs/debuffs.
  • Due to a backlog in processing feedback, this build temporarily restricts feedback submissions to the Nightly branch. Feedback can still be submitted outside of Nightly if a DLC code is activated.

EA 23.36

11/22 2024

[Additions and Changes]

  • The Resident Bulletin Board now displays PC and party members in a different color.
  • The order of processing and messages when using a Grimoire for learning has been adjusted (processing now occurs before recipe inspiration or divine signals).
  • Pillow talk after using a body pillow now supports all gods.
  • Corgon’s speech style has been changed to the Fang Princess style.
  • When a resident is in another zone, clicking their name on the Resident Bulletin Board will now display the name of that zone.
  • Blackjack dealers will now always hit if their card total is 16 or less, even when a win is already guaranteed (previously, dealers would stop hitting once a win was guaranteed).
  • Reduced evaluation points gained when failing a performance and increased points for successful performances.
  • (Japanese version) Renamed item wands (excluding the Wand of Wish) and their category to "Magic Wands."
  • If crops require sunlight or are blocked by a roof, hovering over them with the mouse will display that information.
  • Livestock can no longer be ridden or have parasitic abilities used on them.
  • The signboard’s range at garbage dumps has been expanded.
  • Container priority settings can now accept negative values (experimental).
  • The name of Policy Blueprints has been changed to avoid confusion with base skill blueprints.

  • Certain items can now be directly gifted to mounted or parasitic pets via the middle-click menu.

  • Boss chests with locks no longer contain heavy furniture.
  • A new setting, "Mute when in background," has been added to the Miscellaneous section of the settings.
  • Big Daddy is now included in the resident count (as an unlimited number of invitations can be issued).

[Fixes]

  • Fixed an issue where items stacked inside containers within other containers during transfers. Normally, containers with contents cannot be placed inside other containers, but treasure chests retrieved from the field may still contain items.
  • Fixed an issue where dual-wielding could cause ranged talisman effects to target the user in subsequent attacks.
  • Fixed the syringe's synthesis time reduction effect not accounting for elapsed synthesis time.

  • Various minor fixes and adjustments.

[Notes]

  • If residents cannot be recruited, check if they have been designated as livestock.

  • Party members will immediately eat when they get hungry.
  • If an important item somehow ends up in a container not owned by the PC, it is now possible to unmark it as important via a middle click.
  • Mounted pets no longer consume a turn when the PC moves, except during combat.
  • When NPCs other than party members receive tips for performing music, any amount exceeding the cap (based on their performance level and whether they are considered livestock) will be stored as pocket money. (Currently, pocket money is only used when shopping NPCs make purchases.)
  • NPCs will no longer pick up unrelated items after performing music.
  • Little Sisters who die in Little Garden will no longer respawn.
  • Adjusted the fixed dice values for earthquakes.
  • During theft, ranged and throwing weapons will now apply the same difficulty adjustment as equipped gear.
  • Reading Kumiromi’s Secret Experience will grant 3 feat points if read by a character other than the PC.

[Fixes]

  • Fixed an issue where unique NPC residents remained in a livestock state even after being exiled.
  • Various minor fixes and adjustments.

[Notes]

  • Materials stored in containers within a base can now be selected when using processing equipment (experimental).

[Notes]

  • Duplicated Demitas does not cause any harm. If this is an issue, please open the console when there are two Demitas and enter "RemoveDemitas."
  • When Mani's genes are incorporated, the gene's name may change to that of an NPC. This is intentional (the gene itself is not directly Mani's but rather a random NPC gene item labeled as Mani).

  • Fixed an issue where the party member order reverted to its original position after loading the game, even if it had been rearranged in the Party Information widget.
  • Corrected a vision check error when using Bolt-type spells.

11/18 2024 

 I’ve been receiving around 200–300 pieces of feedback per day, which I’m truly grateful for. However, I’m finding it quite challenging to keep up with everything. My PC is still not working well, so until the new one arrives, I’d like to focus on improving my development environment, including looking into recruiting staff to help with feedback and support. As for adding side quests and unique NPCs in towns, I’m hoping to start working on those in December.

  • For Little Garden, the scale will remain 0 if the penalties for killing Little outweigh the bonuses for rescuing them.

Hotfix

  • The maximum number of maps that can be crafted is now determined by the deepest floor reached by the PC.

  • Various other minor adjustments and fixes.

A solution for lost invoices in the Loytel debt quest is under consideration, so please wait a bit longer.

[Mod Notes]

  • 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).

  • 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.

EA 23.1

10/26 2024

[Additions and Changes]

  • New “Brain Cells” item introduced, which alters AI patterns and ability usage rates. When a pet absorbs brain cells, its AI pattern (movement frequency, optimal range, tactical style, etc.) will change to match that of the NPC from whom the brain cells were taken.
  • The mysterious young girl now sells brain cells.
  • The development level of Little Garden now rises based on the number of Littles saved and decreases based on the number of Littles who have perished when the map regenerates.

  • Added an animation of bubbling to the Gene Synthesizer.
  • Reinstated the “Display damage numerically” option under the Experimental tab in Settings due to popular demand.
  • The race “Yith” is now granted the “Fear from Beyond the Stars” trait.
  • Monsters above Lv50 are now set to spawn closer to Lv50, as the current generation method rarely spawns monsters over Lv50 in areas like Squelch.

  • 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.
  • There are no plans for a specific announcement regarding the final beta test version. The update likely set for October 31st is expected to be the final beta version.
