Finally, v0.75 is finished!

This update brings a lot of changes, specially for combat. Please check the readme.txt for details on the changes in combat. Roughly put:

• Enemies now don’t repeat the same action twice in a row
• Enemies now indicate the last action they used
• Attacks and defenses only target a single enemy now and not the whole party
• There is now an intercept relationship between combat actions
• When parrying an Heavy Attack, the parried enemy is stunned for 1 round
• Damage has been increased and defense lowered, in overall
• All combat items were rebalanced and the unique effects were changed

Action interception relationships:

• Fast and Ranged Attacks intercept Grab and Parry
• Grab and Parry intercept Heavy Attacks
• Heavy Attacks intercept Guard
• Guard intercepts Fast and Ranged Attacks

And the Egg Flies are now part of the group, just as important :).

This version took a lot of work from me and my friend, and I have to thank him for all the help he provided, but since we’ve been very busy with our jobs as well, we will take a few days before starting work on version 0.80 as to not burnout.

Important details that I forgot to mention…

The game will attempt to update the save files from v0.70 to v0.75, but I have no guarantee that it works correctly all of the time, so you may get stuck with 15 base damage, instead of the new 20.

Also the gallery will be reset, because it suffered major changes on its identification of scenes and is no longer compatible with the system used in v0.70, so the updater will clear your gallery data and you’ll have to unlock the scenes again, sorry for the incovinience.

I advise creating a new save file, but even so there shouldn’t be major bugs from using one from v0.70. v0.65 and older are not supported however.
