The "Clunky" Update with Buttery Smooth Movement

Hi guys! We've gotten a lot of complaints of "clunkiness" regarding the game. Now, while a lot of these things are more or less unavoidable (or even intentional) with the game having heavy GBC inspiration, some of the c

changedI did my best to fix as much of those as possible without taking away from GBC essence of the game, so let's get right in to what changed recently and in this update.
changedThe Main Thing: Movement Rework
addedMovement has been completely reworked to allow new inputs to push you towards that direction, even if you're still holding the previous direction key. For example: holding right and moving right, and then, whilst still holding right key, holding up for 2-3 grid spaces, before letting go of up (and continuing right).
addedIt's a bit hard to explain but ... you'll find it's probably more what you're used to from other games if you jump in and give it a try! Along with the movement rework, we also added a new nifty little option ...
changedButtery Smooth Movement
addedMovement prediction has been added, which you can disable from the options menu if you don't like it, which essentially lets you "glide" around corners instead of just running into them and coming to a halt. It can be a little weird in a couple of tighter areas, but adds for a less intrusive movement system for a majority of the experience.

Hi guys! We've gotten a lot of complaints of "clunkiness" regarding the game. Now, while a lot of these things are more or less unavoidable (or even intentional) with the game having heavy GBC inspiration, some of the clunkiness did come from hindsights.

Buttery Smooth Movement

Movement prediction has been added, which you can disable from the options menu if you don't like it, which essentially lets you "glide" around corners instead of just running into them and coming to a halt. It can be a little weird in a couple of tighter areas, but adds for a less intrusive movement system for a majority of the experience.

An example of this feature in action would be: walking UP towards a house and running into the corner makes your character immediately move to the right (or left) to continue walking up, instead of stopping.

This feature is enabled by default but it can be disabled at any time from the options menu: Steam post image

Other Improvements

  • Added cursor wrapping in some areas that was missing it (i.e. the options screens)

  • Fixed a bug that returned to 1st party mon when pressing BACK on a monster info screen

  • Added in several missing sound effects (language selector, party screen, and several others)

  • Greatly reduced the time the player stands still in between room transfers (entering/leaving homes)

  • Adjusted the battle speedup system slightly (including speeding up move animations to match battle speed)

  • Adjusted move animation and monster death timing so that death "animations" aren't played before HP hits 0

  • Possibly fixed a minor graphical error when inside homes (white line on top/bottom screen)

  • Fixed an issue where some items/objects would be invisible at night time (Ai cutscene, eggs)

  • Fixed an issue where the meteorite collector (final town) needed to be talked to twice before getting your item

  • Fixed an issue that let you enter the alt region early (was tracking "seen" all monsters instead of caught...)

  • Fixed an issue that killed music when switching to Piano/8bit until you moved

  • Adjusted shop UI to account for greater space to remove run-off text

  • Fixed countless translation errors, mix-ups, or missing translations

  • Slightly improved the typechart screen in monster info

  • Fixed several typo's and a few run over messages

  • Removed cliff sound effect when using vehicles

  • Fixed a couple items that had identical pricing
