Introducing Career Mode to Fret Smasher! In Careers, you'll be able to progress through a setlist while being required to meet a set of objectives. You'll be required to earn stars to unlock tiers or defeat rivals in battle or face-offs, and finally jamming out to an encore at the end of a tier.
But wait, it gets better! You can design and share your very own career! We suggest looking up a guide which we have posted in our Discord server. In your very own career, you can assign all sorts of variables from which songs are included, what are the song types (Battle, Face-off, Encore, etc), implement cutscenes and so much more!
Change-log:
ADDITIONS
- NEW Career Mode (1 Player). - NEW Player Levels. - NEW Song.ini now supports "required_level=" field where you can specify the unlock requirement. - NEW Highscore & Full Combo notifications in results. - Added an option to reset save data. - Added Gameplay Notifications to User Themes! - You can now change the notification text and colours! - Added custom sounds to user themes!

This was purely a visual bug. - Fixed a bug preventing modifiers from being applied to players 2-4. - Fixed a bug causing the game to soft lock in the results screen when playing local multiplayer. - Fixed a bug causing the audio offset value to act as the inverse of what's described on the setting description. - Fixed a bug that when you collapse song folders, they would reset when leaving and entering song select causing the selected song to be different than what was last selected prior. - Fixed a bug where song lyrics wouldn't disable if turned off in settings. - Fixed a bug causing the new flame shader to not render correctly when lefty flip is active. - Fixed a bug causing the time manager to be running while selecting a section when you first load practice mode.

Because of this, a fresh song scan is required for this update. - Overhauled the gameplay notification system. - Only one player may use a local profile at a time now.
We're very happy to bring you more languages for Shotgun King!! Korean, Russian and Ukrainian have just been added to the game!
The translations were made by Otiel, Trek, Drugon, and NamorSom who we thank very much for their help!
We have 3 more translations which are awaiting approval. They are complete but need to be tested before we can add them to the game. If you can read Romanian, Polish or Brazilian Portuguese and you would like to help out, please come to our Discord server to download them and test them!

Basically a problem causing the game to crash for any new players, since there was no save-file present. I have fixed it and apologise for the inconvenience <3. I just did a dumb and forgot to initialize a variable after doing some other work to ensure that you'll never have to reset your progress because of an update.

The purpose of this patch, aside from the bug fixes, is to normalize some of the functional differences between physical and magical Drives. In general, physical Drives are supposed to be able to inflict critical hits on a target, where magical ones could not. Looking through the skill list, I saw a few physical Drives that should have followed this behavior, but didn't. After this change, unless specified by the description, physical Drives can inflict critical hits on an opponent, and magical cannot.
-Note: Drives like Mourning Star that inflict guaranteed critical hits under certain conditions will never inflict a critical hit if those conditions are not met, despite being physical skills. For example, Mourning Star will never crit against an opponent that is not suffering from an emotional ailment.
Bug Fixes:
-Fixed a bug that awards the "inattentive" achievement when targeting an ally with a non-damaging Drives. - Fixed a bug where Drives that inflict critical hits under certain conditions would not inflict critical hits even when the conditions were met.
Balance changes:
- Critical damage bonus has been slightly reduced - Graze damage penalty has been slightly reduced. - Magnum Straight can now inflict critical hits - Lacerate can now inflict critical hits. - Lacerate's Base Bleed chance has been reduced. - Ghost Edge description now indicates that they cannot inflict a critical hit. Actual skill functionality unchanged. - Frigid Hell description no longer indicates that the Drive ignores resistances. This never occurred even before the change. - Frigid Hell can no longer inflict critical hits. -Counter Spell can no longer inflict critical hits. - Lunar Eclipse can now inflict critical hits - Lunar Eclipse power scaling has been reduced - Lunar Eclipse is now vulnerable to counter attacks and grazing. - Supersonic Crush is now vulnerable to counter attacks and grazing. - Demon's Grip can no longer inflict critical hits - Greva Deux can now inflict critical hits - Physical Drives that can steal opponent's stats like Reap Power and Plunder Armor can now inflict critical hits. - Howling Fury can now inflict critical hits - Demon's Gale power scaling has been reduced. - Savage Wolf in Brecellian Darkwood will now use Overlord's Reign instead of Demon's Gale when Miasma Charged. - Cannon Thrust can now inflict critical hits. - Bloodletter's Base Bleed chance has been reduced. - Bloody Chaos' base bleed chance has been reduced. - Running Riot was tagged as a physical skill but the damage was reduced by the enemy's Psyche stat. The Drive is now tagged as a Magic skill, and no longer inflicts critical hits.
