From helpful feedback from players there have been some requests for a 'Foundation' level. A kind of true beginners level, so I will begin working on this for a near future update.
The player 'Professor' has pointed out the need for the configuration to skip exercises and also for modified exercise options. This helps navigate exactly what needs to be added in future development.
More added exercises are to come and also the new foundational level.
Thank you to players for your support and encouragement for this project, and also for helpful constructive criticism helping to shape the game.
TOD 0.10 early access version is completely release. Thank you to all the testers, demo players, and you. The currently released content is relatively short, but it will be updated soon. Thank you for your patience.
< Next main patch note > - 3rd Tower contents. - New enemies and corresponding skills. - Equipment upgrade function. - A balance patch for the 1st and 2nd towers and players will be.
TOD still has a long and rough road to go before its official release. But our devs will get it done with love for the game. Thank you for your support.
When starting up Phantom Hysteria for the first time, you will now be asked to create an account with Lunar Tale Games. This is being integrated as future proofing for release on different platforms. You will have to set up a username and password, but once Phantom Hysteria is on any other platform, all you will have to do to continue your current progress is log in!
Composure
Composure as a mechanic has been removed from the game. We felt that it didn't add anything of value to the core gameplay. As such, there are a few changes! Arcana cards involving the composure mechanic have been removed from the game. Composure shots have been reworked into adrenal shots. All class abilities involving composure have been removed or reworked.
Class Reworks
Due to the removal of composure as well as some feedback from our beta testers, we wanted to make sure that all classes felt useful.
Scholar
Scholar's level 10 active ability has been reworked into "The Invisible Man". This ability makes the player invisible to the phantom for a short period of time with a cooldown of 60 seconds.
The level 15 passive ability "Shots" has been updated to increase the effectiveness of Adrenal Shots rather than Composure Shots.
"Land Mines", the level 40 passive ability, has been updated to starting a match with an EMF Mine waiting for you in the Equipment Room.
The second active ability at level 50 has been fully reworked. "It's Miller Time!" will allow players to instantly reload or recharge their current weapon with a cooldown of 60 seconds.
Attuned
The first active ability on Attuned has been reworked as "Life Steal". At level 10, players can now activate this ability to take 10% of the phantom's health to heal themselves.
The level 15 passive has been reworked as "Oh a Clue!" which will allow players to see the trail of the phantom periodically.
Attuned's level 30 passive is now "Second Wind" which will regenerate health while the player is not in combat.
The second active ability has been reworked as "Last Stand". This makes the player invulnerable for 60 seconds as a one time use in a match.
Neutralizer
The level 40 passive has been reworked. "Salty" allows players to deal 5% more damage with salt-based weapons.
Shaman
Shaman's level 10 active ability has been reworked as "I Got You Covered". With this, the player is able to give themselves or another player a temporary shield that reduces damage from the phantom on a cooldown of 60 seconds.
"Unwavering" is Shaman's new level 40 passive. Once a player drops below 50% health, the next hit from a phantom will heal them for the amount of damage dealt. This passive only activates once per match.
The second active ability, "Living Dead", has been updated so that players must now sacrifice a portion of their health in order to revive a teammate. The resurrected teammate will now come back with 50% of their health.

The pull damage per second from Molly's ultimate has been reduced from 3 to 1
Phantoms will now regenerate their health during Neutralization phase if the players have voted for the incorrect ghost

The fourth content update for Fore Score is out now! With this update comes some additional scoring customization and performance improvements.
Features

This is just a quick announcement that Alpha 2 has been pushed to the main branch. Players will see a new menu system, some bug fixes, and a few gameplay changes.
There is also now a launch option to choose between DirectX 11 or 12.
There is nothing in particular you need to do to get to his route. It unlocks naturally with a specific choice in the common route (choose to hide instead of run when giving the option during the sequence where the MC is in the abandoned district.)
While it shouldn't be required, please consider starting a new game to begin his route.
There shouldn't be any save compatibility issues, however, there were minor changes to some of the other routes (primarily typo fixes or minor wording changes for continuity) as well. If you do run into a game-breaking error after loading an old save, please start a new game and see if the error still occurs before you report it.
Reuben's route is the next route I am working to complete. It is currently about 60% drafted and my focus for the next month or two will be getting it drafted and fully edited.
