Crane’s Romantic Nightmare [v0.4] [Funk Dangerfield]

This update does not include the next part of the main story, and instead focuses on side content. The rest of the main story will be released with version 1.0 in the coming months.

H-Scenes/Story/Characters:

12 new fully animated H-scenes.

New animated H-scenes for existing characters:

  – Black Hound x2

  – Fairey x1

  – Gloster x1

  – Princess x1

New Characters:

  – Several new characters can be found in the new areas. With a total of 7 h-scenes between them.

Expanded quest content for the Mermaids, Black Hound, and Princess.

4 new Diaries can be found, each with 2-3 CGs.

System:

– The Space Bar can now be used as the ‘Okay/Interact’ button, same as ‘Z’, ‘E’, and ‘Enter’

– The Quick Field Skill menu will no longer crash the game if an enemy touches you while it’s open.

– Crane’s Journal is now accessible from a menu option, rather than just from using the item.

– Quest Progress/Stages have been overhauled slightly to provide better direction on how to proceed with character quests.

– When a new journal entry is unlocked, a notification will appear on screen.

– The Merfolk now have a page and objectives in the journal.

– Changes to the journal system will likely lead to issues with saves transferred from older versions. Check the debug menu to update Journal progress to match the end of v0.3 if you transferred from an earlier version.

– The key to unlock fast travel can be unlocked earlier, dropped by the first ‘?’ enemy that you fight. (The rare black and white female enemy.) There are two that can be encountered in Lampcrop, though they’re a bit more difficult to find than the one in Flooded Colony.

– Both the Vault entrance and the Mermaid Village now have a fast travel location once they’ve been reached.

Combat/Exploration:

– Three new areas have been added and are explorable: (Floor 5 of the Vault is not available in this update.)

  – The Merfolk Village

  – The Vault

  – South Tar Pit

– It’s recommended that you finish exploring Flooded Colony before entering them, as they may be fairly difficult if you are unprepared.

– The Vault can be accessed any time from the hole located at the South East edge of Flooded Colony. However you will not be able exit the same way that you enter from.

– The Merfolk Village can be accessed after finishing the quest that is unlocked from fighting all 4 mermaid scouts across Flooded Colony. The entrance is located at the North East end of Flooded Colony.

– The South Tar Pit entrance can be found along the southern edge of Flooded Colony. The gate to enter it is locked, and the key can be obtained from a few locations. (Two of which are located in the Mermaid Village and The Vault.)

– The book next to Bunyan has been updated to reflect accurate damage numbers for all weapons/upgrades.

H-Scenes/Story/Characters:

– New characters: The Gremlin Sisters can be found in Flooded Colony.

– New characters: The Mermaid Warriors. Can be found and fought throughout Flooded Colony. Defeat enough of them and prove yourself to unlock special scenes.

– New Animated H-scene for Squonk.

– New Animated H-scene for Black Hound.

– A new diary can be found somewhere in Flooded Colony.

Systems:

– Fast Travel can now be unlocked. You’ll find the means to access it somewhere in Flooded Colony. Enables you to instantly travel to certain areas that you’ve been to before. If you are loading a save from a previous version, you may have to re-visit certain areas (Princess’ Cabin, and Moonview Brothel) to unlock the ability to fast travel there.

– Fast Travel Can be used from Maps that do not have enemies or have been cleared of enemies (For players transferring saves from older versions, this will probably not function correctly in Lampcrop Borderwoods, sorry.)

– You can now donate “Diaries” to Black Hound’s library. Donating enough will unlock new scenes with her.

– Fixed a bug that caused “Peek Mode” to slow down your camera until you changed maps. Oops.

Combat/Exploration:

– Brand New Area: Flooded Colony. To access, find the “Note – Flooded Path” by checking the river in the South East part of Lampcrop and give it to Bunyan. After fighting the Horsewoman, talk to her again to open up the new area. (May need to leave the area and re-enter again to trigger properly.)

– New enemies in Flooded Colony: 3 basic enemies and 2 types of elite enemies.

– I haven’t done that much testing for Flooded Colony yet, and further weapon upgrades aren’t available yet. So enemies are likely a little weaker than they will be in the final version.

– Combat on the backend has been slightly overhauled. New damage formulas and adjusted stats. Goal is to make defense and effects that change defense more impactful.

– Wooden Shield and Knight’s Shield now provide flat defensive bonuses, rather than percentage based.

– Some Quick Skill attacks now deal extra damage based on your Speed stat. Default Speed reduced to 25.

– Critical Hit damage has been changed. Now deals 50% extra damage by default, increasing by 1% for each point of Luck. Default Luck reduced to 20, some items now grant flat Luck stat.
