Goblin Layer [v0.57.1.1]

v0.57.1.1

Highlights:
– Improved writing in places
– Overall map and gameplay improvements
– Shitload of bugfixes
If you are a Public/Free member, this another one of those combined updates.
So 0.57.1 + 0.57.1.1
Normally I don’t do this, but yet again… there were to many important bugfixes that needed releasing.

0.57.1.1 “New Beginnings-s” – Edition
(Title screen will still say 57.1.)

………….
Scenes
………….
Improved the writing/dialogue for various scenes
Added a dialogue reaction from Gobrielle (Paladin), during Anvil’s Potion quest. If you’ve finished up Ch6 before doing it.
Some extra dialogue with Farm Girl during the scene where you “fix” Anvil after her potion quest. You’ll have to have read two specific books for it to trigger though.

………….
Gameplay
………….
New Walk + Combat Sprites for Priestess
New Combat Sprites for Goblin Layer. [You can find the old ones in img/sv_actors/old]
Adjustments to the Textbox position
Grinder Lvl 1 is a bit easier now, got some more things planned in the future
Gobelyne’s scene is now unlocked after doing Grinder once.
Added a Variable that tracks how many times you’ve Grinded, might come in handy in the future
Previous version added some small secret events here and there. You might now get a random stat boost if you find some of them.
Removed some events from the Hubtown main, as the map has become a bit ‘heavy’. (they only affected visuals)
A new room with a little loot in the Watertown/Sewer Dungeon. Well, to be honest it’s been there all the time, but I accidentally made it inaccessible. But now it’s accessible.
General map touch-ups
Updated cursor behavior for some events
Added shadows to some events that lacked them
Added a small secret room in the Biz district
Remove TP requirement from Barrel’s Moonshine skill, in exchange for a higher MP cost.
The quick-time defense/parry during combat is still kinda janky, but I’m working on it.
Different music in the Ch4 areas
………….
Bugfixes
………….
I’ve done a full playthrough from a New Game, every main quest, every sidequest, every frontier conquest clearing.
So the game should be fully playable with a fresh save, but I’m sure you people will figure out a way to break things anyway. Please report the bugs when you do.

I experimented a bit with dialogue window width in a previous version, which lead to text getting cut off in some cases. Should be mostly fixed now.
Fixed many bugs that could mess up the game when using Chapter Select.
Fixed a bug that could prevent the game from progressing after Chapter 4
Fixed party members going invisible during a cutscene in ch7
Fixed a missing reaction when asking Town Hall for a quest after the prologue
Fixed typos
Fixed some duplicate dialogue lines
Cleared out a bunch of junk files that had been accumulating, unused image files, plugin code and such.
Fixed Lonesome Lighthouse being visible on the world map too early.
Fixed flickering map icon for the Burnt Elven fort
Fixed a whole bunch of bugs with the farm, that got you stuck in walls and shit, side effect of changing things on a map where a lot of quests take place…
Fixed bugs with the bath that did the same
General map fixes, in particular during CH6
Fixed a bug that broke the flame trap in CH3
Fixed the wrong background music kicking after listening to the Bard in Watertown/Capital
Adjusted the location of message boxes & choices to prevent them ‘cutting into’ each other
Removed a superflous teleport trigger in Watertown/Capital
Fixed a sewer goblin with the wrong type of trigger
Fixed a sewer goblin ending up in the water instead of on the walkway
Fixed Anvil’s sprite not behaving properly during the potion quest, movement/visibility
Fixed the Potion shop reverting to an old empty version during a cutscene
Music fades out properly after Anvil’s ‘flattening’ scene
Fixed some minor issues with the Quest Log
Removed some duplicate dialogue
Fixed the text not displaying for some signs, apparently if you put a sound effect between the ‘display’ box command, and the command defining the text in the box, the text disappears.
