TRAINING ARC 0.12.0 patch notes

A lot has changed since the last notes (0.8.1). The highlights:

New

Zones 1–5 teach the whole moveset. Each new move shows up with a foe that needs it, and the first time, the fight pauses on a short hands-on lesson you try until you get it right. The Chi Counter, the B counter and the "!" dodges all get one.
Bosses fight in three acts. At 60% and 30% HP the boss stops, says a line, and the arena changes, with new moves and one big telegraphed attack per act.
Named enemy waves in zones 1–5: AMBUSH, THE CHARGE, BRUTE SQUAD, SNIPER NEST, golden ELITE grunts, a calm BREATHER, and a signature wave per zone. Each one opens with a banner.
Every idle system lives on the islet now: Dojo Gates, the Expedition Jetty, Bitsy's Drill Rigs, the Relic Case, the Crew Job Board and the Drying Line.
Ten islet minigames with short boosts, from Pest Patrol in the garden to Sorting Rush at the Mailbox.
While You Were Away: come back after a while and a report card counts up everything that happened.
The TODAY board: the few best things to do right now, one button to go do them.
A proper Settings page: hit-stop, screen shake and flash, Large text, colour-blind shapes, button remapping, and button prompts that match your controller (Xbox, PlayStation or Switch).

Solari: the flame forms are our own now (his hair and fists burn, ember to prism), and the super is GOLDEN HOUR.
Moonveil is a late-night stagehand whose forms are spotlights. He walks calmly now, no more chicken walk.
Forecaster forms are SEVERE WEATHER, with the storm building around him. Gus the cameraman tags along.
The Funsuit is STOMPOSAURUS, a rubber-suit monster from a kids' show.
Vex runs visibly hot, and the Mossborn grows bigger with every form before the Giant.
Better animation across the board: wind-ups, follow-throughs, and walks that don't slide.

Wider, with the stations in groups, and a lot of it redrawn: the Bean Garden, the Mailbox (a weathered P.O. box wall), the Studio Head's desk, the fire pit, the job board and more. Most of it lights up at night.
Sorting Rush and the Bean Garden were reworked to be clearer, and every minigame has a new grade stamp.
A smaller, cleaner status panel in the top left, and smaller name cards at each building.

The ninja world is Cranefold Valley now, an origami ninja drama, and zeni is Rin.
Power Levels read smaller (1,000,000 shows as 10,000). Nothing about the balance changed.
Dying restarts the zone you're in instead of sending you back one.
The whole game is quieter. Your volume settings still work on top.

Thanks for sticking around 🙂
