=== Pre-Beta 22.3 === | |||
<big>'''5/25 2024'''</big> | |||
The first public build of the pre-β phase is now available. Those participating in the α test can update the game via Steam. | |||
[Additions and Changes] | |||
* Added new explanations for various new base functions to Loytel's dialogue. | |||
* Improved loading speeds for conversations and other content. | |||
* Added several new furniture items. | |||
* Added paintings by Felmera. | |||
* Adjusted PV and DV modifiers based on enemy levels, making tougher enemies even more distinctive. | |||
[Fixes] | |||
* Fixed a glitch where uploading user maps would cause the PC character to reincarnate and be included in the map. | |||
* Various minor fixes and adjustments. | |||
[Notes] | |||
* Please expect a fair number of bugs from the past two months. Please report any issues using the bug report form. | |||
* Balancing has been adjusted, with a gentler HP growth compared to the α phase. The mid-game might feel tougher as a result. This is intentional, as more powerful artifacts, enhancement items, feats, and features will be introduced later. For now, the difficulty is set to be more challenging. | |||
* To display damage as numbers, change "showNumbers" to true in config.txt. Note that this setting cannot be changed in-game since mid-α. | |||
=== Pre-Beta 22.2 === | |||
<big>'''5/24 2024'''</big> | |||
[Additions and Changes] | |||
* Added low bushes of Api berries. | |||
* Added paintings by Felmera. | |||
* Various tests and adjustments in preparation for the beta release. | |||
[Fixes] | |||
* Other minor fixes and adjustments. | |||
[Notes] | |||
* There won't be any special announcements, but around the 25th-26th, the playtest will be renamed to Beta, and the pre-beta build will be uploaded. Once the release is complete, a post will be made in this channel. | |||
* | |||
* 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.. | |||
=== Pre-Beta 22.1 === | |||
<big>'''5/23 2024'''</big> | |||
[Additions and Changes] | |||
* Adjusted the amount required for investments. The higher the investment level, the higher the required amount. | |||
* Adjusted the prices of taxidermy items. Unique NPCs will have double the price, and larger-sized NPCs will have quadruple the price. | |||
* Unique and sparkling NPCs will guarantee a drop of taxidermy items the first time they are defeated and have a high drop rate on subsequent defeats. | |||
* Tax-related policies will not take effect until 30 days have passed. | |||
* Added a display of the number of days since a policy became effective in the policy tooltip. | |||
* Adjusted the amount of experience required for feat level-ups. Doubled the amount of feat experience earned by non-PC characters. | |||
* Added a home skill "Emergency Rations" to mitigate penalties when the number of residents exceeds the limit. Replaced the "Food Supply" job skill of farmers and other similar roles with "Emergency Rations." | |||
* Set a maximum size for store inventories. | |||
* Added version data to the metadata of user maps and Moon Gates upload files. User maps that are incompatible with the version will not be loaded. | |||
* Added version data to the metadata of Mods. Mods that are incompatible with the version will not be loaded. | |||
* Changed the basketball mini-game from a Mod to being integrated into the main game (temporary measure for SteamDeck). | |||
* Changed the reward calculation for blackjack to Bet * Consecutive Wins * 2. | |||
[Fixes] | |||
* Various minor fixes and adjustments. | |||
[Notes] | |||
* Due to changes in the metadata format of Moon Gates, using Moon Gates from the alpha version of Elin might result in errors. | |||
* 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. | |||
* 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. | |||
* 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. | |||
=== Pre-Beta 21.11 === | |||
<big>'''5/21 2024'''</big> | |||
[Additions and Changes] | |||
* When sleeping at home, on the global map, or in random outdoor locations, the passage of time will be simulated for all owned homes. | |||
* Every time the number of collected sketches in the artbook reaches a certain threshold, Felmera will present a unique painting (which can be displayed or sold). Additional paintings will be added sequentially. | |||
* Added tourism tags to paintings and posters. | |||
* Taxidermy, statues, and cards will only count the tourism value of one item per species (e.g., if both a taxidermy and a card of the same species are displayed, only the value of the taxidermy will be counted). | |||
* Covenant Stones will now automatically level up when they reach maximum experience (manual upgrades and upgrade costs have been removed). | |||
* Added initial home policies to suppress or promote the growth of Covenant Stones. | |||
* Updated the dialogue for the Covenant Stone explanation with Loytel, and added explanations about tax-free zones. | |||
* Adjusted the cost of crops. | |||
* Set multipliers for the number of furniture collection tickets required by item category. Furniture related to facilities, power generation, and tools will require about 20 times more tickets. | |||
* Added a new initial home skill, "Heritage Management," which increases the number of heirlooms that can be handled. | |||
* Added a policy, "Tourist Protection Ordinance," which increases home visitors. | |||
* Added a policy, "Traveler's Inn," which adds the quality of beds to accommodation fees. | |||
* Added a policy, "Suite Room," which gouges accommodation fees from the wealthy. | |||
* Added a policy, "Celebrity Heaven," which increases wealthy visitors. | |||
* Added a policy, "Mass Exhibition," which counts duplicate tourist exhibits as having a slight tourism value. This cannot be implemented simultaneously with "Solo Exhibition." | |||
* Added a policy, "Solo Exhibition," which increases the tourism value of tourist exhibits. This cannot be implemented simultaneously with "Mass Exhibition." | |||
* Added a policy, "Platinum Ticket," which increases tourism revenue from the wealthy. | |||
* Added a policy, "Rip-Off Shop," which significantly increases the sale price of goods but greatly reduces purchasing power. | |||
* Added a policy, "Premium Shop," which increases the sale price of goods and reduces purchasing power. | |||

* The Wealth Tax policy now increases tax revenue from the wealthy. | |||
* The Faith Tax policy now grants additional tax revenue based on faith. | |||
* Adjusted the costs of home skills and policies. | |||
[Fixes] | |||
* Other minor fixes and adjustments. | |||
=== Pre-Beta 21.10 === | |||
<big>'''5/20 2024'''</big> | |||
[Additions and Changes] | |||
* Guests at the home will now generate with pocket money. The amount will be influenced by their hobbies and jobs. | |||
* 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. | |||
* Tourism value will be set for homes and displayed in the home bulletin board tooltip. | |||
* Items like taxidermy, statues, and cards will have a tourism tag. Placing items with tourism tags in the home will increase its tourism value. | |||
* Income can be earned from guests based on the tourism value. | |||
* If multiple items from the same species are placed in the home, they will not be counted towards tourism value (items of different types are okay). | |||
* A sales tag tool has been added, allowing items in the home to be toggled as for sale. | |||
* Guests will spend their pocket money to buy items. A sold-out sign will be displayed where purchased items were. | |||
* If a spot or container in the spot contains items from the same category as the sold-out item, it will be restocked automatically. | |||
* Guests with no remaining pocket money will leave the home. | |||
* Residents will no longer starve if the number of residents exceeds the maximum limit (a penalty to work efficiency for exceeding the limit still exists). | |||
* Rewards from the home rankings will decrease for homes with multiple entries, with lower-ranked homes receiving less. | |||
* Some home skills are now non-upgradable, and some have an upgrade limit. | |||
* Unique policies with very powerful effects that can only be enacted in one or a limited number of homes have been added. | |||
* Introduction of tax-exempt zones. Income from non-tax-exempt land will be reduced by a certain percentage. | |||
[Fixes] | |||
* Various minor fixes and adjustments. | |||
[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). | |||
=== Pre-Beta 21.9 === | |||
<big>'''5/19 2024'''</big> | |||
[Additions and Changes] | |||
* Changed the maximum level of the Hearth Stone to 7 (The maximum level will be increased further as development progresses). | |||
* 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] | |||
* Various minor fixes and adjustments. | |||
[Notes] | |||
* Currently, some land feats, such as specialty products, do not have any specific meaning. These will be adjusted during the beta test along with several policies that are yet to be implemented. | |||
=== Pre-Beta 21.8 === | |||
<big>'''5/17 2024'''</big> | |||
[Additions and Changes] | |||
* Adjustments to various settings, including the initial maximum residents and initial admin points of homes. | |||
* The value of a home will now be calculated based on the total value of the top X pieces of furniture (treasures) placed in it. | |||
* If a home ranks above 125th place in the home rankings, monthly rank rewards will be given (applies to all owned ranked homes). | |||
* The value of a home will no longer affect the content level of the home (such as the strength of appearing monsters). | |||
* The value of a home will no longer affect the tax amount. | |||
* The content level of a home will now depend on the level of the Hearth Stone. | |||
* Experience points will accumulate in the Hearth Stone through item shipments and resident actions. When shipping, experience points will be added to the Hearth Stone of the home that last accessed the shipping box. | |||
* When talking to the home maid with the Covenant Stone at max experience, the Hearth Stone can be upgraded (currently up to level 5). | |||
* The current effects of the Hearth Stone will be displayed in the tooltip on the home bulletin board. Upgrade effects will also be shown in the upgrade dialogue. | |||
* Added management and food supply to the initial skills of a home. Management, food supply, and construction skills cannot be upgraded with gold bars (instead, they are enhanced through Hearth Stone upgrades). | |||
* Added land traits (features that give specialties or growth tendencies to the land). Each obtainable land will have unique land traits randomly set (fixed for starting maps). | |||
* When on obtainable land, the land traits set for that land will be displayed next to the map name. They can also be checked from the "Locations" section of the journal. | |||
* The benefits from leveling up the Hearth Stone will change according to the land traits. | |||
* Additional land traits will be unlocked by leveling up the Hearth Stone. | |||
* Tax amounts will be calculated based on (a small fixed amount + adjustment for notoriety + adjustment for elapsed months + adjustments for special adventurer licenses and other optional features + additional taxes). | |||
* Resident taxes, ranking rewards, and (guild, etc.) salaries from each home will be consolidated into a single package and mailed monthly to the player's current home. | |||
* 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. | |||
* The ordinance for substitute tax payment has been abolished (no longer necessary). | |||
* Added "Pioneering Advice" to Loytel's dialogue. | |||
* Detailed the information that can be viewed from the "Locations" section of the journal. | |||
* Added "Actually..." options to residents and party members (for displaying various sub-options such as settings). | |||
* From "Actually...", players can toggle the use of shared equipment or expel residents. | |||
* From "Actually...", players can appoint maids. | |||
* Event items like the keys to the depths of Nymelle will now be actually obtained as items under "Important Items". | |||
* Adjusted the calculation formulas for maximum HP, MP, and stamina. | |||
* The number of gold bars required for land expansion will now increase according to the size of the land. | |||
[Fixes] | |||
* Various minor fixes and adjustments. | |||
[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. | |||
