Upgraded basketball mini-game a bit.

Alpha 20.69

3/22 2024

 I need a bit more time to finalize adjustments and bug fixes for the casino minigames, so the game is still a work in progress, but I will update it in the meantime. The effects of Ehekatl's and Jure's body pillows will be added in the next update (currently, the only effect is the stamina restoration during sleep when hugging the pillow).

Other minor fixes and adjustments.

[Notes]

I have replaced the Mod Publication Guide link texts with buttons as mentioned in our last update. Please scroll to check.
To save space, many items and furniture will lose their unique settings in Moon Gates (e.g., Moon Gate ID). This is something I plan to adjust during the pre-beta, including the complete preservation of item information.
Attacks with the electric attribute causing a 1-turn paralysis state will be treated as "Stun," and cannot be negated even with paralysis-immune equipment.
It is intentional that magic beams reflect back on the caster when targeted at walls.
I plan to remove adventurers generated in specific locations on the map, like the Spectral Wing, during the pre-beta.
It is by design that the Natural Appraisal skill cannot completely appraise equipment of high quality or better.
I plan to continue adding prizes and features to the casino.

The fact that Quruitzia and Kettle cannot be invited to the party is intentional (they are planned to be unlockable through quest progression).
The inability to cancel the steal action is currently by design.
Offering water at an altar not of your faith will grant cursed water.
Enchantments that maintain abilities are intended to only prevent reductions in abilities caused by weakening attacks (those recoverable by physical revival, etc.).

Alpha 20.63 (Nightly)

Fixed a bug where actions could not be cancelled with the space key.
Various minor changes and fixes.

[Notes]

The character "Quruitzia", known as "the Red-eyed Deceiver" in the English version of Elona, has a somewhat awkward translation. The original text actually means "Red Artificial Eye," and does not imply "Deceiver" at all. Quruitzia also appears in Elin, but I believe that this nickname in the English version gives her an impression of being a villain, so I mention it here.
Portraits for the wished-for guests and adventurers will take some time, so they will be added as they are completed.
It takes a year for the seeker's merchandise to restock.

3/4 2024

The processing speed of machines will increase with related skill improvements.
Improved some NPC character graphics.

[Fixes]

Fixed a bug where the keyboard's idle action could be executed even while the player was performing some other action.
Fixed a bug where Last Wish pets could be applied to minions (summoned wild monsters, etc.).
Other minor changes and fixes.

[Notes]

If anyone can reproduce the bug where dressing tables cannot be placed in tents or bases (they get treated as thrown items), reporting the method to reproduce it would be helpful.
If shortcut keys, etc., are activated while entering text in the game notes, reporting the keys that activate would be appreciated.
The fact that there are fewer equipment slots compared to Elona, making it difficult to equip items with resistances or maintain abilities, is currently by design. Adjustments are planned for the future with the introduction of artifacts and equipment enhancement features, so please wait for a while. We also plan to allow enchantments on light sources.
High-cost feats are planned as a use for feat points after acquiring all available feats.
Adjustments to the randomness of the change material scrolls are planned for after alpha. The materials to be transformed might be fixed, and like shrines, they could be generated randomly in Nefia as objects that can be used only once, and the scrolls themselves might be removed. A material hammer is planned for future addition.
Some feats, like Gourmet, have required skills set for acquisition.

(Backer's Wish) Added a portrait of a dog.
Upon regenerating towns and similar areas, newly added NPCs and others will now also be generated.

Rock salt will now generate on beaches and underwater.
Burning a beehive in a furnace will now yield sugar.

Added multiple pieces of furniture and recipes.

Added monster graphics.

[Fixes]

Fixed a bug where the effect of "Excommunication" included a decrease in luck.
Other minor changes and fixes.

Hotfix 1

Fixed a bug where the chest Fiama gives you turns into a broken light stand.

Fixed a bug where having a corn (a bug item whose model was changed in a previous fix) in a container would prevent interaction with the container. (Please dispose of the corn as it is a bug item.)

Other minor changes and fixes.

[Notes]

The balance of mushrooms is scheduled to be adjusted in the pre-beta.
The sealed passage on the 4th floor of the Puppy Cave has no significance for now.

Alpha 20.58

2/24 2024

By default, the "Apostle" race does not come with portraits.

[Fixes]

2/23 2024

Other minor changes and fixes.

[Notes]

Currently, the idea is that equipment bestowed by gods will only exhibit its true power when equipped by PCs or NPCs who worship that god.
The seed-spitting feat of Fairy-san feels weak at the moment, but I believe it will balance out when special seeds are added later.

Alpha 20.56

2/22 2024

The addition of Kickstarter memorial blocks has arrived, and I plan to start the shipping registration process shortly. Additionally, due to absences and other reasons, some goods have been returned, and I plan to contact each of those affected by the end of today. I apologize for the sparse updates, but I may not be able to update for the next 1-2 days due to shipping preparations, so I'm releasing 20.51 in the meantime.

The console can be opened from the "System Menu > Others".
Regarding agriculture and archery, I plan to start working on these once the delivery of goods has settled down.

I have fixed the errors in "Last Wish" as requested and updated the Last Wish database.

The ordered thank-you cards and envelopes have arrived. I might not be able to update tomorrow due to packaging and shipping tasks.

Hotfix

Added monster graphics.

Hotfix

Add another dungeon generator.
Fix a bug where the paths between the ascending and descending stairs are sometimes not connected.

[Note]

 I plan to update the modifications for "Last Wish" requests around the end of each month. Please note that "Last Wish" is available as an add-on or a bonus for drifting souls.

[Notes]

The balance and management of Homes in the beta version will be quite different. Currently, there is no limit on the number of residents for load testing purposes and such, but a normal Home is expected to have about 10-20 people(Not that 100+ Home will be impossible). A month or so before the beta, I plan to radically overhaul Home management and various aspects of the game based on feedback from the alpha.
The newly added widgets (Side Screen, Note) might cause errors with existing save data unless all widgets are reset at least once.

Hotfix

Fixed a bug where eggs being cooked are mistakenly cleaned up by residents assigned to cleaning duties.

Fixed the issue where the BGM didn't change on the boss level of the den.
Other minor changes and fixes.

Alpha 20.40

2024/1/25

[Additions]

Started setting behaviors for monsters and similar entities (planning to handle about 5-10 creatures per day.

[Fixes]

Unified the Japanese term "制作" to "製作."
Fixed a glitch where snow removal settings were not being applied to roof installation items.
Other minor changes and fixes.

[Notes]

 Issues with Japanese character input and character corruption are likely errors in Unity itself, so I'm considering updating the Unity version used in Elin. However, updating Unity might cause unexpected errors in the game, so it should be tested thoroughly at a later date.

 Due to meetings about the additional production of acrylic blocks and re-shipment of thank-you cards, development time might be limited for the next few days. Bug reports have been settling down, so I plan to start working on monster behavior settings from tomorrow.

[Notes]

Currently, it is by design that a bucket filled with water cannot be offered at the altar.

 After the recent update, you might notice items with a plus sign, like "Empty Can +5". This is simply showing the base value, as junk items no longer receive furniture enchantments. Any junk items generated after the update will not have a plus sign.

[Fixes]

Fixed a bug where companions did not properly migrate after choosing the option 'I want you to move to this land'.
Fixed a glitch with a single vertical and horizontal line appearing in sea animations (We've received several reports, but as the glitch seems to depend on the graphics card and couldn't be confirmed on our end, this is a predictive fix. If the glitch still occurs, please report it. It's also likely fixable by changing the 'Pixel Snap' option in settings under 'Others').
Fixed the transition process of BGM for rooms, maps, and jukeboxes.
Fixed a bug where the PC would spawn in strange locations upon death.
Other minor changes and fixes.

[Note]

 Regarding actions like picking up vomit, collecting eggs from livestock, disposing of rotten food or garbage, I plan to integrate these with in-game jobs and items for resolution. However, as it might take some time to implement all these features, I'm considering adding a temporary 'Managed Home' ordinance.

Alpha 20.34

2024/1/20

Plans include instance-based map requests for subjugation quests, similar to elona.
The fact that one side of an L-shaped wall changes depending on the adjacent walls is currently a specification. This is because only one type or material of information can be held per tile.

Several minor changes and fixes.

[Notes]

There have been reports of character corruption when filling out the bug report form. This issue is related to Unity's core functions and is difficult to fix.

Regarding items in the hotbar, even if the "double-click to hold an item from the inventory" setting is enabled, not being able to double-click to hold an item is intentional.

[Notes]

Gwen's replication is intentional.
As merchandise shipping has started, I may be busy handling that and updates might be slower for a few days. Regarding shipping, due to the large volume of orders, items will be dispatched sequentially from the warehouse, and it may take several days to complete all shipments. I will post an update once all shipments are complete, so please wait until then.

Hotfix

Fixed a bug where items inside tents were not being saved.
Due to changes in the world save format, for safety reasons, it has been uploaded as a Nightly version.

 The Nightly version is a test version of the game before it is officially updated. You can participate in this by right-clicking on Elin in your Steam library, then going to 'Property > Beta'. As I develop the game alone, it's difficult to allocate sufficient time for testing, so in the future,  I plan to start releasing  the latest  updates in the Nightly version, and once their stability is confirmed, I will proceed with an official update.

Currently, save data is shared between the Nightly and the official versions.

 Individual recipes for weapons and armor, other than the initial recipes, were abolished just before the alpha release as they were not particularly interesting to craft and led to an excess of production facilities. Although it will be some time, we plan to introduce special equipment crafting and existing equipment enhancement.

More improvements are planned for Nefia in the future. To check if your Last Wish has been implemented, go to the in-game system menu > Others > Console, display the console, and enter 'LastWish [Name you entered for Last Wish]' to confirm.
