Patch notes

TRAINING ARC 0.8.1

Pre-Alpha

Quite a bit has changed since the last notes (0.5.0). The highlights:

New

  • Chi Counter: enemies who throw things can now get it right back. When the hexagon around you turns solid, press Y (K on keyboard). Throwers show up from zone 3, and the game shows you how the first time.
  • New Titans: Old Moonshell, The Understudy and The Eraser King.
  • A new story for zones 1–5: it's a TV pilot now, and Farmer Hank really wants his close-up.
  • New stages for Barnacle Bay (zones 15–17) and Hexwood Academy (zones 18–20).
  • Sparring Dummy: a Chi Counter drill, once you've met your first thrower.
  • Picture Polish: a softer, glowier look, with a toggle in Settings.

Changed

  • The climb takes longer, on purpose: reaching zone 20 is meant to take weeks of play, not an afternoon.
  • The B counter has a clearer closing circle and a slightly bigger window.
  • Zones 1–2 are B counters only, so you learn one thing at a time.
  • Fishing and loot were rebalanced along the way, and a few names got friendlier (hello, Season Finale).

Fixed

  • The Gearborn's Rocket Punch no longer freezes you.
  • Throw moves really throw now.
  • Switching to a new fighter no longer drops you into a TV channel break.

Heads up: combat is on the easy side for now. A combat rework is coming soon; this build gives you an idea of where things are going.

That's it for now. Thanks for sticking around 🙂
