CONCLUSION OF THE SOVA ARC
Sova’s recruitment storyline comes to a conclusion on planet Teatakanya, as you partake in one winner-takes-all championship bout in the Teelee Fighting Championship.


NEW SOVA NSFW SCENES
New scenes have been added in Pandora for Sova containing a wide variety of fetishes, alongside a new foreplay video sequence that will play automatically as you progress through the story.


NEW NEBULA – YETI
All of the Yeti nebula is now accessible for exploration. We will be updating the planets and progression system in a later patch so please treat most of these as placeholders for now.


NEW UI ADDITIONS
More of the UI has been overhauled including a complete revamp of the Gallery UI, with interactive preview materials.


NEW EQUIPPABLES SYSTEM
We are trialing an equippable system for grid combat, which will hopefully add some flexibility when deploying waifus. Please let us know what you think and how we should improve upon it!


DEVA MODE FOR REST OF CREW
DEVA form should be unlocked for all previous waifus now (provided they reach level 20) along with some balance changes to the system.


NEW MANTICS - PERVEDILLO & LAMARSE
Two additional mantics have been added for players to discover and recruit to the team.


MORE MUSIC TRACKS
A few new songs have been added to Grid Combat gameplay.


Tweaks
  • Improvements to the lip flap system during dialogue sequences.
  • Updated Sova’s idle animation in the Locker Room onboard the Mary Celeste.
  • Added 3 new poses to the Gallery. Ela “Kloi Please”, Taron “Rawr” and Taron “Furball”.
  • Added explanation of Clear Input Cache under Settings/Controls tab. Primarily required between updates if there are issues with key-bindings.
  • Added character level visibility on the character selection screen during Grid/Space Combat.
  • Reduced the amount of asteroids in Huntress Fight 2 second phase.
  • Added wave data to random scenarios in Space Combat.
  • Added warning that player will embark on a long quest when starting a new waifu storyline. This currently is only applicable for Elaisha, Taron and Sova quest.
  • Added completion percentage counters to galaxy, nebulae and systems in Navigation. Note: This is a WIP and there are currently some inconsistencies with how they update. Some known areas are Doochi-Kabana, Tychedemus and systems where there are unknown missions or sidequest that have multiple encounters where the mission is unknown until the required one is completed.
  • Replaced previous controls prompt with help box in Navigation.
  • Sex scenes that take place during dialogue story sequences no longer play the idle pose before the sex scene. New sequence is foreplay cinematic then sex scene. Idle scene will display as before when replaying.
  • Redesigned gift icons for Fashionable Boots and Illegal Narcotics.
  • Added Socialite status effect/icon “Bitch Please”.
  • Texture memory optimization pass.


Bug Fixes
  • Fixed issue where exclamation marker was still visible after completing one section of a quest that spans more than one anomaly in Navigation.
  • Fixed issue with indicators not rendering in Space Combat when the larger ships spawned for the Scoundrel faction.
  • Fixed issue with Tibold’s ship in Grid Combat where there were broken active tiles.
  • Fixed issue where there was invisible blocking from lancer attacks.
  • Fixed issue where New Mantic tag missing for Equicox & Rekall when onboard the Mary Celeste.
  • Fixed some cinematics where no subtitles were rendering or displayed inconsistent text.
  • Fixed issue if character is talking while exiting the gifting screen, the voice can still be heard.
  • Fixed several issues with clipping on some PANDORA scenes.
  • Fixed several issues with lighting on some PANDORA scenes.
  • Fixed several issues with animations on some PANDORA scenes.
  • Fixed several issues with texture & post processing on some PANDORA scenes.
  • Fixed several issues with focus and framing on some PANDORA scenes.
  • Fixed several reported physics issues during dialogue sequences.
  • Fixed several inconsistencies with the text during dialogue sequences.


Known Issues (Does not include all issues)
  • Low texture resolution rendering for some users during dialogue sequences throughout the game.
  • Some users reported odd textures when loading Ela and Taron in PANDORA and Gallery.
  • Framerate drop can cause Mary Celeste to shoot out of the jump-gate in Navigation.
  • Bridge projector fails to update the color scheme throughout Mary Celeste consistently. This will be fixed in later builds once all nebulae are unlocked.
  • Physics on dangling pieces such as tentacles or hair (i.e. Huntress or Killi) may clip through the character's body or rapidly vibrate.
  • Yellow/White screen flashing artifact during space combat when using the FXAA aliasing method. Most likely due to the lens flare and or high bloom values.
  • On rare occasions, an unintentional song plays during some areas of the game.
  • On rare occasions, clicking the Help button in the dialogue section of the game can remove the help text but can't be re-enabled until restarting or starting a new scene.
  • Potential stuttering when playing back cinematics for some systems. Note there is an option to disable 4k videos from the graphics tab under settings. This has improved performance for some users.
  • Reports of performance issues on some Space Combat random scenario maps.
  • Animation in You’re Mine Now scene needs finalizing.
  • Replay icons and navigation icon concepts are a work in progress, inconsistencies are known.


Notes
  • Sova’s quest will resume the next time the navigation button is clicked. In the full release there won’t be a break to explore navigation.
  • Optimizations have been made that should help with low texture resolution during dialogue sequences. Please let us know if you have seen an improvement.
  • Currently equipables are associated with the completion of random scenario missions and waifu levels. If you have completed a mission that would have dropped an equipable, it will display in the locker room. Note: Once an equipable is acquired a short tutorial will play when you return to the Mary Celeste on how to equip them.

Thalamus - trulyNathanツ
Hey everyone, we are sad to announce that we have to take down the Thalamus Soundtrack due to copyright issues. We made the mistake of not correctly understanding copyright and ownership. We apologize to everyone involved and hope you can stick with us as we improve.
Ardor - EsteemedOwl
-Added new card: Revolving Wand

-Removed Opportunist enemy from Endless spawn list. It has a lot of unpolished/janky interactions with other mechanics, and it's just not fun enough to merit inclusion currently in light of those issues

Restoration - Team Syukino


Oliver and Penello have been through a lot together and have appeared in short stories and as cameos in other games. Their journey was briefly continued in Solenars Edge II as well as Restoration X. But, their final stop will be in Exiori (Chapter 3). Which is out now!


There was an update planned for Restoration, but unfortunately it didn't go so well and the game broke during these changes. I was able to salvage and fix the game back to where it was before the new update. But, another attempt will not be made. Sadly, these things will not come out, but here is what was going to be added in;

Hello and welcome to an unplanned and surprise update of Restoration!

It's been a super long time since this game has been updated and in all honesty it didn't need to be. It's finished. However, after including Oliver and Penello in my new project, I decided to revisit Astrelia and make some tweaks and additions. Here they are:

-Changed Oliver and Penello's character sprites to
an original fit to match them. (No longer random looking sprites).

-Added in a secret boss; Craboid. (Euclyca Boss Music.)

-Added in a mini dialogue scene with Calcifur at
Phren Village to warn players not to save if a person
turns into a Nightmare.

-Changed the max level of Oliver and Penello from 16 to 20.

Look forward to Oliver and Penello coming to my brand new upcoming RPG; Exiori

On Itch.io: https://syukino.itch.io/exiori

Coming soon to Steam! (Keep an eye out!)

None of those changes will happen. But, I did remake Phren Village from scratch in Exiori and it's remastered. You'll be able to see Oliver and Penello again in there. Sorry for the let down and I hope you all are staying strong as can be this year.

Take care~
