UPDATE 1.07 — TALES OF MIRAVIA ✦

─── Fixes, stability and gameplay improvements ───

⚠️ This update advances the game to version 1.07. Focused on bug fixes, performance improvements, UI clarity and system polishing.

🧩 General Fixes

• Fixed various minor issues related to textures and fonts, improving overall visual consistency across menus and gameplay scenes.

• Optimized internal game code, removing unnecessary processes and legacy elements to improve stability and performance.

🏠 Maps, Collisions & Event Systems

• Fixed multiple collision issues in Lubina Town, improving player navigation and preventing unintended blocking states.

• Applied additional performance optimizations to Lubina Town.

  • This map acts as a central hub for many systems and gameplay events.

  • It is also the largest and most performance-heavy map in the entire game.

  • These optimizations aim to reduce lag spikes and improve stability during exploration.

• Fixed a teleportation bug in Mount Moredy, preventing incorrect player positioning.

• Fixed an issue where the first enemy event would not properly disappear after being defeated, allowing it to trigger again on re-entry.

• Fixed a softlock in the Wishing Fountain where selecting “Let me think about it” could freeze player movement and menus.

• Fixed a bug in the mine area where after defeating the first boss, objectives would overlap incorrectly, causing progression confusion.

⚔️ Combat Balance

• Lishana (enemy version) has been significantly nerfed in her duel encounter.

  • Her skill set has been simplified to reduce unfair difficulty spikes and improve encounter balance.

• Lishana (playable character) has been slightly buffed.

  • Increased HP, physical defense, and magic defense to improve survivability and consistency in combat.

🎮 Gameplay — Stamina System

• Increased stamina regeneration while walking, improving recovery flow.

• Reduced stamina consumption while running, making movement more fluid.

• Fixed a bug where stamina recovery caused visual movement flickering between walking and running states.

• Added a new rule: players cannot run until stamina reaches 33%, improving readability of recovery and preventing unstable movement transitions.

⚔️ Combat System — Ability Feedback

• Added a new system that displays clear on-screen messages when battle abilities activate, improving player understanding of combat effects in real time.

Examples:

• 🔴 Rugido de Titanes / Titan’s Roar “Attack power increased.”

• 🟡 Ruptura del Destino / Fate Break “Critical damage increased.”

• 🔥 Desprotección Agresiva / Aggressive Disruption “Defense has been reduced.”

• 🎲 Poder Aleatorio / Random Power “An unpredictable force spreads across the battlefield.”

💰 Economy & Exploration

🎮 Tutorial & Player Experience

• Added a simple, non-intrusive control tutorial, highlighting basic inputs in a clear and readable way.

• Added a pre-battle tutorial message before the first combat encounter, explaining core combat mechanics in a simple format to improve early-game understanding.

🎧 Music System — Music Box

• Added colored song titles in the Music Box for improved readability and visual distinction.

• Fixed several text description issues inside the Music Box interface.

⚙️ UI / Menu Improvements

• Added a visual selection indicator using an underline system for toggle and multiple-choice options.

  • The active selection is now highlighted with a dynamic underline beneath the text.

  • Improves clarity in settings menus (ON/OFF, YES/NO, speed options).

  • Alignment has been adjusted so the underline is properly centered for each option.

🎥 Camera & Zoom System

• Optimized the fixed x2 zoom system, improving performance while maintaining the intended visual framing.

• Replaced the previous heavier zoom method with a more efficient and optimized system.

🎨 UI & Visual Polish

• Reduced menu particle effects for a cleaner and lighter visual presentation.

• Improved title screen performance and stability.

• Enhanced shadow transition system when moving under environmental structures for smoother visual feedback.

🖼️ Title Screen & Branding

✦ Developer Notes

This update focuses heavily on improving stability, performance, and readability across all systems, especially in high-load areas like Lubina Town.

The game will never lock gameplay or content behind DLC. The soundtrack DLC is entirely optional and exists purely as a support method for players who wish to contribute to the project while enjoying the game’s music through Steam.
