Daddy rockets weren't showing up when he got out of view at the level end. Minor issue, but wanted to address it, especially as I am making a certification for Switch and XB1 and would like to have there too the best version possible.
Hello everyone it's 2022! So good to see you all again.
I've been working on this patch since before the holidays but they have a funny way of derailing plans right? :D
I've been combing our bug-tracker, and tweaking random things people @'d me on twitter about, and it's lead to a lot of small fixes and improvements that really make the game more fun to play without less elements taking you out of the experience.
But there's some cool feature/QoL adjustments/additions that add to the game as well!
Moveset Customization Menu
As you likely already know, there is a move learner/forgetter in Frobec. When I began development I had a goal of minimalism and fast battles - get in and out quick, as I read that was something a lot of people desired in the genre, however, the game's complexity has grown significantly since then and it's not always clear to players that a new move is available as they level up their monsters.
For that reason, whenever a new move is available (through using Ultra-Rare Berries, Scouting, or Battling) you'll be offered the ability to jump into the Move learner/forgetter on the spot and pick the moveset you want going forward. This should make the earlier part of the game before you reach Frobec a bit more clear and simply be much more convenient overall for everyone.
Monster Riding
Instead of "sitting" on the heads or backs of monsters, your character will now straddle/grip them. This allowed me to add a significant number of monsters to the rideable list, as they no longer need a large sittable part of their body. This has doubled the amount of monsters you can now ride around and smash up over-world random encounters with. Here's the list of new ones:
Several monsters have received overworld sprite touchups to give them a bit more character or clean up lacking ones:
Additionally Windy Province, Mill Town, Crossroads Town, Scarred Province, Humanism and Empathy Kingdom have received tile updates and visual improvements to their color schemes. I think you'll have a lot more fun wandering around and seeing the adjustments.
Next Steps
The first of three free significant DLCs coming this year is being actively worked on and will soon be complete. It offers a slew of new monsters and fun sidequests, some of which are teased in this twitter 2022 message I posted a few days ago.
I've also been hard at work on the Xbox One and PS4 launches, which will have their release dates announced in the very near future.
There will soon be another monster design contest, for a chance to get a monster you designed in Monster Crown as part of a significant QoL addition in an upcoming DLC, expect more details on that soon!
Other fixes
Here's a non-comprehensive list of other fixes, as the total list of small tweaks I made based on people just quickly asking for an adjustment these past two months are a bit much to list:
1.0.43 ====== +Lost province cave transition adjustment +Newly cropped up camera issue due to UI resizing during the synergy tutorial and being kidnapped fixed +Shop menu UI fix that was cutting off some item descriptions +Wardrobe centering issue +Found items on-screen display adjusted to be more readable, longer. +Random encounter frequency increased +Final quest log entry gets a "check" properly in the post-game to be a bit less confusing
After several days of development from the moment of release, we are ready to submit to you the first update of our game.

All Versions: New Post-Holiday Update! Check out our new mission, "The Heist", in Arena Combat now! (Available to those Nevada warriors who have made it past Contract 3)
------------
Current Patch Includes:
ADDED ⦁ The Heist: Stick up Nevada Central's must lucrative target in a brand new Arena stage! ⦁ Your Arena money is now represented by a stack of cash in your Loft. You can now behold your monetary progress as it grows. ⦁ Your purchased Color Swatches will carry over with you after imprinting, as well as the Swatches of any Origins you imprint *after this update*! You'll still need to unlock the Colorizer again in order to apply them, of course. ⦁ Plus, a couple new Swatches at the Fence. FIXED ⦁ Sweep attacks have a better, rounded sweep area to account for low FPS. ⦁ Most revolver cylinders were rotating an incorrect direction when reloading. ⦁ "Coinbearer" spawns in the Arena Infinite Waves were not spawning properly, and sometimes not at all. ⦁ Characters that teleport when they lose a corpus (Apparitions, Crackpot, etc.) will do it properly if they're ragdolled. ⦁ Some gate obstructions have been tweaked to block off their areas faster (such as on each level of the elevator in the split-room battle in Climb). This should stop squadmates from leaving before they're supposed to. ⦁ Changes to the Slaughter Time murder fan to prevent it from drifting away from its start position over long periods of time. ⦁ Stop Sign can be thrown. ⦁ Charge-up attacks on some heavier weapons were not letting you leap forward. TWEAKED ⦁ Various firearm stats have been balanced. ⦁ Some wepons are HEAVY. They will slow you down while held or stowed on your back - this scale changes based on your Endurance and your size. They're also much cheaper to purchase. ⦁ Blackmarket markup has been scaled down the more expensive a weapon already is.
The previous Beta versions have been merged into the Release Build:
Beta [2.02.b] [You can access this build from the releasebeta Branch on Steam]
FIXED ⦁ The Story Campaign stage selector shortcut (aka stage selection map) was allowing you to bypass events that need to occur before accessing certain stages (such as blowing up the door to the Sheriff's stage, or encountering the Outskirts snipers before entering Power Play).
------------
Beta [2.02.d] [You can access this build from the releasebeta Branch on Steam]
ADDED ⦁ Stage Select screens show which difficulties you've beaten the selected stage on, and World Maps will indicate stages beaten on Madness difficulty. FIXED ⦁ In Chasms, players were sometimes getting stuck in the "water room" when the door at the end of the hall won't open. This was the result of a larger issue that never cropped up except in some very few rooms. ⦁ The scale of weapons in the Massive Origin's hands should be correct now. This applies to your character in the world, as well as in the inventory menu. ⦁ Record of your cash earned in Arena for each stage wasn't displaying in the correct format. ⦁ Weapons destroyed after a throw will drop their broken version now, so long as that version doesn't decay on the floor (such as crappy broken hilts). ⦁ Melee weapons thrown with the Lawnmower skill will properly lose durability. ⦁ You and your squad are now properly invincible before, between, and after completing waves. This should prevent accidental deaths and other workplace accidents. ⦁ You can crit hit opponents during your charge-up swings again. TWEAKED ⦁ Cleanup to the Playground back room to make it prettier. ⦁ Weapon rebalance: range decreases for pistols, shotguns, and other very short weapons. ⦁ Weapon rebalance: magazine penalty tweak, so that larger mags carry greater penalties for size/recoil/recovery. ⦁ Weapon rebalance: BR7 and FNC slightly nerfed to make them fit as low-mid tier rifles. ⦁ Shock Sword and Axe moved from the Quartermaster to the Blackmarket (just like the Dozer Model E). ⦁ In the post-game interactive outro for Arena, your name will be shown correctly instead of as "Player".
NOTE v.2.02.c was released only to the private Beta branch for closed testing. It contained some of the above updates.
