v.0.4a uploaded!

It’s been a while!

I apologise for being inactive during the past months. Apart from simple bug fixes, updates in the coming months will likely be slow as well due to real life obligations. However, Embers’ Pyre has not been abandoned and I am determined to see to its completion! 🙂

v.0.4a has been uploaded and can be downloaded here!

  •  – NEW FEATURES:
    • ‘Skip’-option that allows for some cutscenes to be skipped (This option will likely be added for more scenes later on)
    • Save points will now fully restore HP and MP
    • Resting will now grant a buff that lasts a few battles
    • Starting from a certain point of the story, there will now be an option to report in to Lt. Darrien, giving with random rewards
  • CONTENT UPDATE:
    • 2 new dungeons have been added! (not yet tested extensively, especially the last new dungeon)
  • OTHER:
    • new bust for Fyren
    • added more NPCs
    • revised dialogues

Thank you for your time!


Notes:

– A lot of the art has to be redone, especially CGs, but I will probably do that once EP nears completion

– This new version will likely be somewhat buggy because a lot of stuff was added non-linearly and has not yet been tested from start to finish, meaning there’ll likely be a lot of unintended ‘features’

– I’d love some feedback for the revised dialogues (if you can spot the difference)! I tried to trim them as much as possible and adding more tidbits of information.

– For the most part, the older long cutscenes have the skip-function implemented already. If there are cutscenes from the older version that you think should also be skippable but aren’t yet, please tell me and I’ll consider implementing it.

– Although the dialogues in the new content are still a bit awkward, I am interested in your opinion, especially because of the addition of new characters~
