Nekomancy needed some tlc and I learned a lot that could be applied from Wyrd Gun, so I made an update! The change was significant enough I created a beta branch for the version that has been up for the last year, you can access it in properties by typing the code "classicversion" in betas. Ill probably continue to work on other projects for a bit, but I will fix any bugs reported through the in-game bug reporter! Thanks for playing! You rule!

Knights Of The Tiny Table will soon be free.

Patch 2.0.9
-fixed a rare error when spiking a roll
-fixed a rare error caused by a Macho-slime being destroyed by a black hole
-If 2 players hookshot each other at the same time, the ropes now detach entirely, instead of being mysteriously suspended in the air

BONUS:
I just updated the demo to the latest version of the game.
This means the demo now has all the new music & levels from the full game.
Along with all the bug fixes.

Flow changes

- Now possible to Mouse over on all interactable elements during Dream exploration.
- Created 4 new Dream Layouts; including one with teleporters. Created new decorators to support small roaming islands around with additional rewards and point of interests. (Accessible only with 'Astral Shift').
- Added new point of interests, such as Torch and Fountains, which resets the Threat, or provide an exceptional ether regeneration.

Fixes
- Exit button dream when succeeding a dream.

NetEase and 24 Entertainment have worked hard to ensure that this game is as close as possible to what you want it to be.

This past year, we've added new heroes and weapons to the game; created 3D lobbies so players can interact with each other; added Showdown bosses for our most skilled combatants. We opened up our game to a whole new audience through the launch of free-to-play and new platform. Plus we delivered on past promises by bringing amazing collaborations such as NieR to NARAKA. Together these changes have made a combat experience that's ever-evolving—and dedicated solely to you: our player!

If you love this game and want to show your support for the dedication of its developers, please nominate NARAKA: BLADEPOINT for Labor of Love award!
