Askaria the Decay: v.1.10

Hello! This is going to be a long post, so here we go...

Fixes:

-Kali now walks forward and should be selectable (she wasn't before for some players)

-A handful of smaller fixes (I've lost count at this point...)

-Thalion's Start Map: Instances of gifts being given have been updated to say what was given. (I'm so sorry for making you play the guessing game...)

-The south side of Thalion's Start Map has been edited. (I suck at this...)

-All starting characters should now face the appropriate direction when moving from their respective start maps to New Askaria for the first time.

-All glitteries (yup, I just made that up...) should remain small in all Library events now.

-There should be no more par-kour on the book shelves in the Library, nor should there be any possibility of spider-man moves on the walls...

-The Library exit should now be on 'Player Touch' and release you from its confines rather than requesting a click/enter key. (I promise I did not stick you in a room and lock the door....)

-Avani's Start Map: Jorin's message now says the appropriate item given.

-All starter weapons/armor have been changed.

-Kali now uses bows instead of staffs. (However, I still haven't figure out how to get her to have it equipped when you pick her... I have tried sooo hard to fix this >.< so instead it is in her inventory.)

-All classes have been edited to try to learn something at each level. (I'm still figuring out how to try to balance all of this... I'm so sorry >.<)

Other:

-All music is at 25. I can lower this further if there are consistent complaints about the volume level. (I can't do anything about the magic blast in the beginning though. I have tried... I'm sorry. Maybe I'll just remove it...)

-The vine on the wall in Askaria is climbable, but as this may prove to be confusing... I may remove it. (It remains for now...)

-Added some 'patches' to the 'secret' areas. (Is that good? Is it bad? I don't know... I'm very tired...)

-I can only use so much when it comes to creature sprites (and I am NOT an artist...) So all Forlorn will be represented as dark shadowy thingies... (Unless I can find a good substitute, like the zombie dogs...... I'm sorry >.<(again))

-The accessories... I set the first to wear earrings and necklaces and the second slot to wear bracelets and rings... (I... don't know if this is a good thing or not...)

-In the Library Event: Instead of mentioning an NPC name, Fae now simply says 'take someone with'. (I was trying to be cool and I've utterly failed...)

-I've been told that Characters start at less than full health...? I'm looking into it. (Ugh... Someone save me...)

-There is more content with this new upload. It's a bit earlier than I wanted, but I needed to provide these fixes in time for the Game Jam.

-Are there too many enemies? If so, I will destroy a few on the field maps... (EDIT: Sooo.... I went ahead and removed a few anyway.... Maybe one day I'll get the hang of this...)

-Loot. Do I need more? Do I need different loot? Is there enough money? (Probably not... There's never enough money...)

-I am working on weapons and armor names as well as over all balance throughout. This goes for both Characters and Enemies.

Final Notes:

I know this was a lot. So thank you for sticking with me till here.

I am a one person army at the moment trying to do a thousand things all at once. I'm not a coder by any means, and I've never built a game, but I'm doing all that I can to learn. I've spent the past two-three weeks staying up well into the morning hours trying to get a single event working. Then when that's done, it's on to the next event and more hours. (And sooo much coffee... I think I'm immune to it by now >.>)

I have one friend helping with code, but his time is also very limited.

I'm running in the dark most times. This isn't a complaint. I love what I'm doing here. But it is a call for some help. So, if anyone is interested and would like to be a part of this - I welcome you. 

My only requirements are these:

-I'm LGBTQ+ and so is my game.

-This is my passion and I want to finish and publish and sell it when it's done and ready.

-I want to create more games.

So. If none of that bothers you - feel free to message me.

Thank you so much! Enjoy the new upload. And Happy Gaming!

Sincerely,

Siryn
