Elin:Changelog

Beta

Beta 22.71

9/4 2024

[Additions and Changes]

Multiple help topics have been added, and the explanation of operation keys has been improved.
A snow toggle button has been added to the texture viewer.
Influence will no longer be displayed in shops (since it affects the visual presentation). However, it can always be checked via the bottom bar.
Windows for shops and crafting will no longer close when left-clicking outside the window (to prevent accidental closures).
Pets' inventories can now be selected when using material conversion, appraisal, and other item selections.
Added icons for Holy, Bleed, and Acid attributes.
Bed information will be cleared when residents become livestock or leave the base.

[Fixes]

Fixed an issue where the status of mounts and parasitic pets was not displayed on mouseover when holding Shift, even if there was a collectible object at their feet.
Other minor fixes and adjustments.

[Notes]

The fact that turns do not pass during fast travel is currently intended behavior.
Loytel has Fiama's pet flag enabled.
The Fragrance of Goddess grants the rights to a wish and is obtained when one is not already in possession.
The ordinances such as "Breeding Season," "Milk Faction," "Egg Faction," and a few others are currently disabled from appearing.

Beta 22.70

9/1 2024

A hint icon will now be displayed above NPCs when they have important conversation events, such as at game start.
Cards will now display a number in the Card Encyclopedia.
The search function now allows searching through the possessions of residents as well.
Added a tutorial for Nerun.

Residents who are set to not use shared equipment will no longer place surplus equipment in the shared container.

[Fixes]

Various glitches with the possession search widget have been fixed.
Other minor fixes and adjustments.

[Notes]

The reason the game saves right before entering a new map, rather than immediately after, when using a Return Scroll, is to ensure safety. This is because various processes, such as simulating time passage and updating the map version, occur when entering a map. This may change in the future to save immediately after entering the map.
"Ash" is the nickname for Ashland, and "Fia" is the nickname for Fiama.
The zoom level of the game screen can be adjusted using the map tool next to the mini-map.
The current pet upgrade system gives a 10% chance to gain a new feat, a 30% chance to gain a new skill, and a random increase of 2 to the primary attributes the rest of the time. If there aren’t enough points to gain a new feat or a skill, they will be saved until there are enough points.

When the product code is distributed, individual keys linked to each backer ID will be provided. If there are additional keys, they will be distributed accordingly.

[Additions and Changes]

Other minor fixes and adjustments.

[Notes]

Mount graphics are not displayed indoors by default. This can be changed in the game settings.
The ability to play panties is currently intentional.
The smell trait of rotten food will be reduced when it turns into cheese, which will always have the [Stinky] trait. This is currently intentional.
The fixed recipes for BBQ tables and cooking appliances are undecided at this time.
The usefulness and strength of attributes (such as fire, cold, chaos, etc.) vary to some extent by design, and this balance is expected to remain until the main quest is cleared. However, adjustments are planned for the late game, where high-level attribute attacks exceeding a certain power level will trigger upper-level effects. These upper-level effects will vary by attribute, such as adding status effects, piercing attribute resistance by a percentage, and other balance adjustments, especially for attributes that are currently weak or difficult to use.

Beta 22.67

8/20 2024

[Additions and Changes]

Removed the Steam Deck check when launching mini-games (Mods can be enabled depending on settings even on Steam Deck).

[Fixes]

Fixed an issue where the harvest bonus would disappear when saving and loading within a quest instance in harvest quests.
Various minor fixes and adjustments.

[Notes]

If using tools like scissors results in unintended attacks on neutral creatures, try adjusting the auto-combat settings to “Do not use auto-combat on neutral creatures.”

Beta 22.66

8/17 2024

 Significant changes have been made to the crafting system. For full details on all changes, please refer to the previous Nightly update notes.

Various other minor fixes and adjustments.

Beta 22.65 (Nightly)

[Additions and Changes]

For now, shearing wool from animals in towns is intentional. The wool of residents in livestock status will recover when fed grass. A quality bonus occurs based on the livestock's level, and a quantity bonus occurs depending on the length of time the wool is grown. (Quantity and quality are planned to be adjusted in the future.)

Hotfix 1

Various other minor fixes and adjustments.

[Notes]

The Magic Book Author is an NPC planned to be implemented in the Home Story "Seimani" chapter.
Regarding when income from the Home Ranking will start to appear, there are no specific actions, timing, or guidance planned for Home Ranking or other player income strategies; it is intended to be flexible.

Added a shortcut key for picking up all items to the key settings.

Fixed an issue where the "does not rot" property of food was missing.
Fixed an issue where the item investigation key (x) was not being assigned when loading old version configuration files.
Other minor fixes and adjustments.

[Notes]

Regarding the Wish Rod, for balance reasons, the usage count is fixed at 0 in the Backer Object route, and there is also a chance for the usage count to be set to 0 in normal generation.
If I recall correctly, items that start off rotten do not turn into fertilizer even when placed in the fertilizer box.
With the ability to inherit properties on processed items, some items may be able to inherit different properties by repeating the processing steps. If any unusual behavior is observed, reports would be appreciated.
Crop enhancement levels will be reduced to 1/10, but the effect and value increase per enhancement level is multiplied by 10. Feedback on this would be appreciated.

Hotfix 1

 In previous versions, the enchantments and traits granted by materials were stored as actual values on individual items. However, starting from this version, they are no longer included in the save data. While the effects of materials in the game remain unchanged, all items generated in previous versions will now have doubled enchantments—one from the saved item data and another temporarily applied by the material.

[Additions and Changes]

Internally, the enchantments and traits granted by materials are no longer stored in the save data but are instead temporarily applied within the game instance.
The name of the material is now displayed on stones and crystals (excluding the default material).

[Fixes]

Various minor fixes and adjustments.

Various minor fixes and adjustments.

Beta 22.61 (Nightly)

8/10 2024

In this Nightly build, there have been significant changes to the crafting system and its surrounding mechanics. These changes are expected to have a major impact on game balance, but rather than focusing on adjusting the current balance, the modifications are made with a long-term perspective, considering future development in terms of scalability and the overall direction of the game. Some parts are yet to be implemented, but the main changes can be summarized as follows:

Traits like "Sweet," which were previously seen only on food items, will now be applied to regular items as well. Additionally, the traditional quality rating will be converted into a quality bonus trait.
The base quality will no longer change through crafting or farming. If a quality bonus trait is present, the base quality will increase proportionally.
The impact of quality on item prices and effects will be reduced. Instead, new traits such as value traits and recovery traits will be introduced in the future.
When crafting, if multiple materials have the same trait, traits marked with a "+" (mainly food-related traits) will have all instances of that trait added together, while for other traits, only the highest value will be inherited.

The following are additional changes:

[Additions and Changes]

Modifications to the crafting system.
More detailed information about crafted items will now be displayed in the crafting screen. Additionally, the quality display in the crafting screen has been removed.
Food traits will now display up to five slots, excluding fixed slots, and will be shown with a "+" symbol in the crafting screen. Traits with higher effects will be displayed first, and only the displayed traits will have an effect when consumed.
Nutrition information will now be displayed in tooltips for food items.
The probability of production-related skills appearing as random enchants on equipment has been reduced (on a trial basis).
Item levels will no longer affect item prices (enhancement levels like +1 will continue to increase prices as before).
Pressing the x key while hovering over an item will display detailed information, including traits.
Added the "Healing" trait to cotton.
Reduced the probability of furniture having enhancement levels applied.

[Fixes]

Fixed a glitch where the resize icon would appear on the background window when moving the mouse.
Other minor fixes and adjustments.

[Notes]

Traits that count towards the five slots for food traits, excluding special traits like collagen, are those that provide positive experience points to abilities and potential abilities. Negative traits are always treated as separate slots.
Existing seeds will receive a quality bonus according to their enhancement level once they have been grown. Apologies for the inconvenience, but please grow the seeds. Traits on cotton are inherent to the material itself and will not appear on seeds, but the enhancement level will be applied upon harvest.
While nutrition is now displayed, there are no changes to the mechanics of eating. Nutrition = the amount of fullness restored, and it also serves as a multiplier for the experience points added to abilities and potential abilities. For example, a food item with 20 nutrition will restore twice as much fullness and grant twice as many experience points as a food item with 10 nutrition.
The item level and base quality of equipment will now be fixed, regardless of the level of the dungeon (Nephia) they are found in. However, since the performance of equipment has always been determined by the content level at the time of generation, rather than the item level or quality, this change will not affect the performance of generated equipment. However, the reduced item level will result in lower sale prices for high-level equipment.
Due to the changes in the crafting system, there may be unintended behaviors or imbalances. Your feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Beta 22.60

8/5 2024

When items are made lighter with scrolls of feather, accuracy (or DV for armor) will increase. When items are made heavier, accuracy (DV) will decrease.
Critical hit determination will occur after the hit check.
The hometown discount will not affect the selling price of items sold by the player.
Reduced the rate of damage increase for landmines based on danger level.
Rest shrines will also cleanse curses and debuffs.
Adjusted the experience gained from using magic: slightly decreased the bonus experience for low-level spells and halved the experience penalty for high-level spells.
Replica equipment will be labeled as such even when unidentified. Shops that use currencies other than Orens will always sell non-artifact items in an identified state.
If crops from harvest quests are taken away or offered at altars, karma will decrease.
Changed the total assets field on the character sheet to elapsed time.
Adjusted rewards for high-level bounty quests.
Set a limit on the speed adjustment provided by the Ether Hoof.

[Fixes]

Fixed an issue where the content level of random treasure chests generated in Nefia was not dependent on the dungeon floor.
Fixed a rare issue where minions would attack allies right after loading a save.
Fixed the Kizuami feat, which was not functioning correctly following the last update.
Fixed an issue where the frontline command feat was being counted as a single bonus even when multiple allies had it.
Various minor fixes and adjustments.

[Notes]

There are still substantial improvements we want to implement for crafting and containers in the beta phase. We are currently evaluating and testing ideas.

Beta 22.59

7/31 2024

[Additions and Changes]

The fame tax will gradually slow its rate of increase after the fame cap is lifted.
The tax tooltip will now display both the amount evaded and the original amount.
The benefit of Kizuami now includes "elemental status effects remain effective even when damage cannot be inflicted."
The headhunting benefit of Kumiromi will no longer activate on faction members or minions.
Unique characters will not age (visually).
The rewards and drop categories for boss chests and random chests have been adjusted (light sources and ammunition will no longer be generated). The probability of generating artifacts has been added. A guaranteed artifact slot has been added for boss chests in fixed quests.
The lock level for treasure chests will gradually decrease in its rate of increase after level 50.

[Fixes]

Fixed an issue where using a rush enchantment to attack distant enemies would cause reflection damage to be received.
Various minor fixes and adjustments.

[Notes]

Regarding the tax balance adjustment, the fame cap is expected to occur around the 50th floor in the beta, and the balance is designed to be roughly break-even with museum + inn fees + guild salaries.
The attribute given to hatched pets in the previous update is an "element" such as a fire hound or an ice hound, not a bonus to attributes. Bonuses to attributes are planned to be increased by feeding milk and imprinting during the baby period.
Marriage will be possible in the future, although it might be introduced post-beta.

Beta 22.58

7/30 2024

[Additions and Changes]

The magic control bonus for allies' area attacks now also applies to residents and temporary allies. Additionally, self-destructive attacks can be avoided through magic control.
Plants generated by Kumiromi's blessed weapons are created as special minions that do not count towards the minion limit and do not follow.
If a Nefia boss escapes, it will be considered conquered.
Adjusted currency rewards from high-level boss chests and extermination quests.
The deepest reached level will not be updated in maps outside of dungeons.
Pressing the shift key while hovering the cursor over the PC will display the status effects of mounted or parasitic allies.
Pets hatched from fertilized eggs will inherit the attributes of their parents (only applies to eggs laid after this version).

When damage is zero, additional effects from elemental attacks will not occur.

Items marked as important will now display an icon.

Corrected a bug where regions that couldn't be changed via keyboard shortcuts could still be altered in the region selection options.
Fixed the faction-wide enchant for vitality multiplier not functioning.
Other minor fixes and adjustments.

[Notes]

The shrine for armor enhancement exists because the number of armor pieces is higher compared to weapons (weapon enhancement).
Regarding the blessed equipment of the gods, the aim is not to achieve perfect balance for each individual piece. The balance of the gods is considered as a whole, including factors such as apostles and primary blessings. We appreciate your understanding as we consider feedback and make adjustments over a long period. Feedback on which gods are strong or weak is always welcome.

Added random enchantments for mana management.

Various minor fixes and adjustments.

[Notes]

Residents will stop attacking when dismounting from the gallows. If you find reproducible methods for gallows-related bugs, please provide feedback.
The weight of items inside a tent varies based on the tent's material, which is currently intended.
Regarding companion feat points growth, it can be reset, so the plan is to allow free resets when specifications change.
The detector was originally an item for discovering backer gravestones, so it may stop responding to anything other than gravestones. Feedback is welcome.

Hotfix 1

Fixed an error that occurred when loading the extermination request map.
Corrected a bug where the final bonus (+5) was applied in addition to the initial +2 when the main ability feats were first acquired.

7/14 2024

[Additions and Changes]

(Backer Wish) Added "Eureka, Firebrand of Strife"
Changed the effect of the feat "Frontline Command" for Yevan's apostles from a fixed stat increase to a percentage increase (up to 30%) based on the number of enemies. The percentage increase is higher the more allies with the "Frontline Command" feat are present.
Display faction-wide enchants on character sheets and such. Also, display the names of faction-wide enchants and faith bonuses in a different color.
When pressing the F key without a ranged weapon or magic in hand, if there are ranged weapons or attackable spells in the hotbar, or if the equipped weapon can perform ranged attacks, they will be used automatically.
If a map file fails to load due to corruption, generate an empty map instead (better than being unable to load at all).
PCs will not get very angry if they have not handed over the wedding ring (such as initially generated).
When purchasing or exchanging items, mark limited-quantity items clearly in their names.

The quality bonus of food based on content level will now gradually decrease.
Summoned NPCs will not affect performance scores or tips.
Enchants that have no effect on ranged weapons will not be displayed in tooltips.
Set attribute conversion rates for attribute attacks from songs and rods. For example, with a 50% attribute conversion rate, half the attack will be the usual attribute attack, and the other half will be a normal attack (subject to piercing).
Added attribute conversion enchants that permanently grant attribute attacks to weapons. Attribute weapons do not benefit from song buffs and do not consume song buff uses when attacking.
Added the "Drill" enchant that allows weapons to attack all enemies in their path, piercing through them.
Implemented Lulwy's second blessing.

[Fixes]

Fixed a bug where watering could be performed on distant tiles if interrupted by status effects.
Fixed a bug where priority settings for some shared containers did not work after adding advanced sorting settings in a previous version.

Fixed various erratic behaviors when selecting items in hand in build mode.
Other minor fixes and adjustments.

[Notes]

Attribute conversion and "Drill" enchants are not currently available as random enchants. They will be added as random enchants after adjustments.
Mod rapid-fire does not deal the same damage with all shots; the damage decreases with each successive shot.
Due to changes in the management method of limited-quantity items, existing save data for limited-quantity items will be reset.

Hotfix 1

Fixed an error that occurred when talking to trainers about skills that have not been learned.
Fixed an issue where Eureka would not appear in existing save data.

Beta 22.50

7/12 2024 [Additions and Changes]

Changed so that items must be unlocked before they can be stolen from locked containers.
Added a recipe to remove mods from melee weapons in the barrel processing machine.
Added key settings for log switching to the config.
Mods that exceed +99 will be forced to +99 when equipped. This is due to the current save data storage limitations for mods.
Items shipped will not be displayed in the home log (they can be seen in the shipping report).
Added beehive recipe to Nino’s sales inventory (available from new game start).
Cursed equipment will be removed when the curse is lifted.

Fixed a bug where some faction-wide enchantments like floating were not applied to the entire faction immediately after game load.
Fixed a bug where selecting an item in build mode’s picker would consume materials without crafting.
Fixed an issue where item icons for category-specific materials were incorrect in the processing equipment information window.
Other minor fixes and adjustments.

[Notes]

The phenomenon of the PC holding mysterious food is due to pets eating while mounted or parasitized, making it appear as if the PC has the pet’s food.
Regarding wish spellbooks, scrolls, and staves, only items that exist can currently be wished for. For example, a minor healing staff cannot be wished for because it is not an item with that name but a staff with a minor healing effect, so it is currently not wishable.

Beta 22.49

7/7 2024

[Additions and Changes]
(Backer Wish) The "Pet Enhancement" feature has been provisionally introduced. The pet enhancement function will continue to be adjusted and strengthened.

The race "Demigod" will no longer receive divine punishment.

Mods in duplicate items' sockets will now become alchemical ash when dismantled or disassembled.

[Fixes]

Fixed a bug where the skill value would become negative when learning the Memorize (or Heal) skill while the mutation was in a positive state and then reverting the mutation.
Other minor fixes and adjustments.

[Notes]

Apologies to mod creators, but due to frequent game updates, older mod versions may display irregularly or cause errors. If the game behaves strangely, try launching it without mods once.
In build mode's collection mode, items will be collected to the location with the resource storage signpost or containers within the range (this version allows it without setting as shared containers).
Deliveries (such as tax invoices and items sent from the delivery box) will be received at a base once you enter any base, rather than being delivered to your home.
The third divine boon is planned to be introduced in the form of strengthening (reforging) the equipment received from the second boon. This is expected to be introduced a while after EA starts.
Thank you for reporting about the black cats. We believe all black cats have been protected. The black cats already generated in your save data will continue to exist, so please take good care of them.

Beta 22.48

7/7 2024 [Additions and Changes]

Ensure players do not die from overburden when exiting quest instances.
Adjust the formula for experience points entering the Covenant Stone upon shipment.

Experimental implementation of Unity Cloud Diagnostics.

Beta 22.45

7/3 2024

[Additions and Changes]

Significantly reduced the probability of party members speaking at the start of combat, with a further reduction as more party members are added. Also shortened the display time of party members' dialogue (to prevent noise without silencing them completely).
Overall reduction in the number of traps in dungeons.
Integrated some category tabs in the crafting screen.
Slightly remodeled the workshop map of Miral & Garokk's Workshop
A shipment report will now be displayed when shipping items. Added a setting in the config to 'Display shipment report.'

Items such as generators that require more than 20 times the usual number of furniture tickets are essentially not intended to be collected through furniture tickets. Most are planned to involve future quests or crafting using new materials.

If you set the container in the PC's backpack to shared and store food in it, pets will eat from it.

Other minor fixes and adjustments.

[Notes]

Roofs can be toggled off by changing the "omit roof" setting in the map tool or by holding down the middle mouse button.

Items can be split by entering the number in the split window to specify the quantity.

Hotfix 1

Fixed the issue where the quest tracker was behaving oddly.

Beta 22.42

6/28 2024 The combat balance adjustments are still in progress. Tomorrow's update will include adjustments to penetration, PV, DV, and damage resistance at higher levels.

[Additions and Changes]

Large tents will be made larger.
Roofs can now be displayed inside tents.
The third job/hobby for residents will no longer be generated (this may return as an effect of new artifacts, etc., in the future).

[Fixes]

Fixed a bug where stamina and mana would recover if they were negative when divine wrath was triggered.
Fixed a bug where items with a non-sellable tag were calculated at their original value when computing family heirloom rank.
Various minor fixes and adjustments.

[Notes]

Vitality, mana, and speed will only increase through racial base values, equipment, and feats in Elin, with no increase from experience.
The main balance adjustments in the β version target levels equivalent to a danger level of up to about 25 floors. Balancing at higher levels, both in combat and production, is provisional (though some adjustments will be ongoing). Generally, we aim for levels above danger level 40 to be quite challenging even for well-prepared players. This is because future updates will greatly empower players through quest rewards, companion enhancement features, equipment strengthening functions, and more.
Pet enhancement via Backer Wishes is planned and may be introduced during the β period. This likely involves using feat points to teach or enhance skills and feats for pets. This relates to the egg hatching function, envisioning that long-raised pets will ultimately become stronger than high-level monsters captured later.

Additionally, if there are multiple rooms inside the house, you can change the room groups with the room board and set different roofs for each group by placing house boards for each. All fixed maps are built using the in-game build mode, so refer to the buildings in fixed maps to see what kind of constructions are possible.
Harvested crops from auto-farming will be stacked beyond the enchant level stack tolerance to avoid scattering. (In such cases, the enchant level will be changed to the average value of the stacked items.)
Due to the structure of Elin's item categorization, the tree format allocation can be a bit cumbersome (some items are set to the parent category itself, making it impossible to toggle on/off all the child categories at once). However, improvements are planned if possible.

Hotfix 1

Reorganized categories and added a few new ones.
Improved the advanced sorting menu for better clarity.

Hotfix 2

Reconfigured item categories.
Fixed a bug where abrasive materials were not consumed when sharpening rusted weapons.

Hotfix 3

Beta 22.36

6/21 2024

Prepared dishes and preserved foods sold in stores will now have a "discount" tag. Items with discounts or markups will have this clearly indicated in the tooltip.
Fixed a bug where some stores were selling too many seasonings.
This should technically be a HotFix, but the version is updated due to necessary translation updates.

 In Auto-Farming, adjacent crops of the same type gradually become uniform in variety and quality to prevent the harvested products from being mixed. If you wish to avoid this, try planting crops one space apart or intersperse them with different types of crops. In future updates, I may adjust this so that the uniformity of varieties (enchants) only occurs when the seeds are at level 1.

Beta 22.35

6/21 2024

[Additions and Changes]

When advanced distribution is turned on, only the advanced distribution settings will be used. Several new items have been added to the advanced distribution options.

Added the "Automatically continue playing music" option in "Personal Settings."

Fixed a bug where abrasive could be made with a loom.
Fixed a bug where NPCs would cluster together in one spot on water-covered maps.
Other minor fixes and adjustments.

[Notes]

Due to Chinese translation work, there are fewer updates this time, but the version will still be updated.
Regarding the balance of end content (approximately danger level 50 and above), temporary adjustments will be made soon. As mentioned earlier, comprehensive adjustments are planned for the latter half of the beta test, but feedback is always welcome. If diving into levels above 200, attaching save data would be helpful.

Beta 22.34

6/21 2024

[Additions and Changes]

Abrasive material added to the millstone recipe.
Rusty equipment can now be polished with a grinding wheel.
The 1/3 chance of honey not being produced in beekeeping boxes has been removed. Instead, the probability of honey production will decrease with lower fertility and increase with higher fertility.
The level of honey produced by bees in beekeeping boxes will depend on the level of flowers planted on the map.
Outdoor map content levels will be calculated based on the distance from the "starting base" at the beginning of the game, rather than the distance from roads and the player's "current base."
Fame will no longer affect the content level of generated outdoor maps (it will only affect the level of monsters that attack).
The level of monsters attacking on the global map will be less influenced by fame the closer the attack point is to roads.

Other minor fixes and adjustments.

[Notes]

If widget display positions become incorrect, try resetting from the widget menu.
The new trading-related specifications have been tested, but there may still be undiscovered bugs. Any reports would be appreciated.

Fixed a bug where tax invoices would disappear if paid when no taxes were overdue (in this case, the invoice will return, but since invoices are not supposed to stack, they will no longer stack as a feature).
Other minor fixes and adjustments.

[Notes]

For criminal characters, there may be no way to complete delivery quests except by using items like the Scroll of Incognito.
Regarding the generation of Nefia around Noyel and the snowfields, we are currently preparing snow-covered Nefia materials for the global map, and generation will be enabled once this is complete.

Fix a bug where casting magic arrows and beams from out of range consumes MP and stock without triggering the magic.
Other minor fixes and adjustments.

NPCs with fixed initial beliefs will not convert even if they read doujinshi.
Hitting an NPC with a minecart will not reduce karma.

Adventurers and other NPCs will no longer be placed on water.

[Fixes]

Other minor fixes and adjustments.

[Notes]

Body pillows are currently available as casino prizes temporarily. They may become rewards for other content in the future.

Beta 22.22 (Nightly)

6/11 2024

Body pillows are temporarily placed in the casino, but since their number is growing, the acquisition methods of existing ones might be changed in the future.
If the target does not meet the conditions to be invited to the party, they cannot be ridden or coexisted with (to add residents hired with gold bars to the party, the normal charm recruitment conditions must be met).

Fixed the fame requirement for body pillow appearance, which was ten times higher than intended.
Other minor fixes and adjustments.

[Notes]

To fix a bug, after the update, the "hired with gold bars" flag for all residents will be reset. (If this flag is set, a charisma check is required to invite the resident to join the party.)
For the succubus's pleasurable experience bonus, if the target's base stats are lower than the player's, those stats will be skipped.
Chinese translation will be implemented after the tutorial additions are completed, so please be patient.

[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.
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.

Mana warning dialogues for canes will not appear during auto-combat (canes won't be used when mana is negative).

[Fixes]

Fixed a bug where party members tied with a rope would sometimes stop moving.
Fixed an issue where deliveries would arrive at a base during simulations such as sleep. Deliveries will now arrive at the base the PC is currently visiting, not the home base.
Fixed a bug where summoned animals or allies would mistakenly buff enemies.
Fixed a bug introduced in the previous update where stacking of cooking items was not functioning correctly.
Fixed a bug where players could exploit the casino receptionist to receive infinite scratch cards by choosing "not interested".

Fixed a bug where impassable container types were ignored when restocking home items.
Other minor fixes and adjustments.

[Note]

 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.

 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.

Pre-Beta 22.9

5/30 2024

[Additions and Changes]

When enforcing the "Stolen Goods License" policy, thief guild contribution points will now increase when selling items (if the player is in the thief guild).
Added "Cheat" to console commands. Some console commands will only be available if Cheat is enabled (the state of Cheat is saved per game).
The severity of ability adjustments due to Ether Disease will now be determined by the level at the time of disease onset (or total feat points acquired in the case of the player character).

[Fixes]

Fixed a bug where boars breaking free from restraints during the initial tutorial.

[Fixes]

Other minor fixes and adjustments.

Changed the number of bandages crafted from 2 to 3. Bandages will also be provided as preparation items for the initial combat tutorial (vs. Wild Boar).

Increased the minimum stamina by 5.

[Fixes]

Fixed a bug where magic shop and bookstore owners would read the books they were selling.
Fixed a bug where NPCs tied to the gallows would not perform melee attacks.
Fixed a glitch where the number of uses displayed for currently held magic in the hotbar would not decrease when using magic.
Fixed a bug where the delivery box in the casino was unusable.
Fixed a bug where entering an already expired Nefia would cause it to be deleted immediately after entry.
Other minor fixes and adjustments.

[Notes]

Thank you for all the feedback on the early game balance! Taxes and early game balance will be adjusted by the start of the beta (planned for 6/7).
For the Ether Disease "Poison Dripping Hands," in this version, not only poison but all negative potions will be subject to generation.

 As I mentioned in the previous note, we are planning to hold the beta on Friday, June 7th. Here are the elements I hope to introduce by then. The % adjustment for Ether Disease is something I've wanted to implement for a long time, but it has been postponed due to programming complications with Elin. I'm thinking of a good way to handle it.

Balance adjustments
Introduction of Yevan, the God of Strife
Addition of mutations
Changing various Ether Disease corrections to a % format
Introduction of Nefu Village

Hotfix

Fixed a bug where taxes decreased year by year.
Enabled the payment of tax bills with negative amounts.
Corrected the display of tax amounts in tooltips on the home bulletin board.
Added the "Dream Waker" feat.

Hotfix 2

Fixed a bug where an error could occur when saving a game.

5/27 2024

[Additions and Changes]

Unidentified items will not be selectable as target items for collection requests.
Escort targets can now push companions out of the way. In towns, requests will not fail if the escort target moves away from the player character (PC), allowing for safe exits.

The Altar of Enlightenment now has a high chance of generating ancient manuscripts. Random treasure chests, fishing catches, and boss chests will now include ancient manuscripts.

[Fixes]

Fixed a bug in the "Gold in the Mine" quest where Loytel, who goes to Vernis, would return home after a period of time. If Loytel returns, take him to Vernis and speak to him there to proceed with the quest without issues.
Fixed a bug where farmers could craft shipment boxes.
Fixed a bug where the current Nefia would be deleted upon moving to a different floor when its time limit expires. The intended behavior is that the Nefia should not be deleted while inside it, even if the time limit has passed.
Various other minor fixes and adjustments.

[Notes]

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).
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.
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.

Pre-Beta 22.5

5/26 2024

[Additions and Changes]

[Notes]

The basic tax will increase by 100 Orens every month for five years.
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).

Pre-Beta 22.4

5/26 2024

[Additions and Changes]

Harvest quests will not result in a crime if non-harvestable crops are collected (though nothing will be obtained).

Various other minor fixes and adjustments.

[Notes]

To receive training from guild trainers, you need to become a guild member and get promoted.
The numbers displayed on items like stethoscopes and love whips indicate the number of uses, not the number of items, so they cannot be purchased in portions.

[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.

Fixed a bug where excessive amounts of water were being generated.

Hotfix 2

[Fixes]

Other minor fixes and adjustments.

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

5/23 2024

[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.

When sleeping at home, on the global map, or in random outdoor locations, the passage of time will be simulated for all owned homes.

Added initial home policies to suppress or promote the growth of Covenant Stones.

Other minor fixes and adjustments.

Pre-Beta 21.10

5/20 2024

[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

5/19 2024

[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

5/17 2024

The value of a home will no longer affect the tax amount.

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.

[Fixes]

Various minor fixes and adjustments.

[Notes]

The first growth stage of trees will no longer use the common sapling graphic.

[Fixes]

Fixed a glitch where the item guide display would be misaligned when trying to place items on furniture that has had its height altered.
Various minor fixes and adjustments.

[Notes]

With the completion of "Gold Beneath," I can finally start reforming the home system. This home system reform, along with the store and museum operations system if possible, is scheduled to conclude the content planned for the pre-beta.
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.

Fixed a glitch where the equipment icon remained on the previously equipped fishing bait after changing baits.
Other minor fixes and adjustments.

[Notes]

When placing house boards and room boards in build mode, they are installed in an invisible state by default. The invisible flag can be toggled in build mode.
It took longer than I expected, "The Gold Beneath" quest is finally finished. It seems developing quests and scenarios takes the longest in Elin, as it involves creating dialogues, settings, and translations. In the beta, I plan to gradually introduce subquests.

Other minor fixes and adjustments.

[Notes]

The home quest line (Vernis's quest) is still a few days away from completion. Since quest lines involve dialogue, they take the longest to complete. Please understand that the content of update logs may be limited during this time.

Changed the BGM of the Hill Cave to "PSML060 (live performance)."
