Renryuu: Ascension [v22.12.06]

Update 22.12.06
– The vanguard leader Della now has new events and a CG scene. The last step of the dialogs requires that Della’s squad is level 7 or higher.
– Change to Della’s aiming mini-game: Every few movements, the aiming image is certain to go to the middle of the target.
– New ability “Alchemist” for Chiyo after the events about the alchemy equipment for her. When you’re past those events in Chiyo’s story, she automatically learns the new skill when you talk with her in her sleeping chamber.
“Alchemst” replaces the dialog option for crafting, and allows you to open the crafting menu anywhere while you’re out of combat.
– Removed the word “Equip” from the choices when you change weapons, armors, or horses for vanguard squads, as the text was too long in a few cases.
– The CG image in Mary’s CG scene doesn’t stay on the screen anymore, and the first image is now the updated CG art version.
– The “Black Twin Towers of Honor” can now be build! A dialog with General Günther about these towers becomes available when you use the teleport orb after you recruited all party members and finished the first floor of the Spire of Courage.
The construction will be a big project with three increasingly expensive phases.
In the tower itself, you can take three types of daily quests: Hunting, Fighting, and Speed.
You can also do a solo challenge with each party member, which gives the character either a new skill or increased stats at the end. Most challenges usually have some sort of gimmick.

Update 22.10.13
– New quest “Bee Infestation” available via the Aldlyn city board after you had the Thremten festival events and the events with the Dark Sorceress to know about the dangerous forest near Thremten.
After this quest, you can advance the events with the bee girls to get their CG scenes.
– New quest “Vegetables Request” on the Aldlyn city board. Requires Sandra to be in your party. This quest brings you to the swamp south of Bitterroot Farm, to ensure that you find the chest for Sandra’s events.
– New option in the dialog with Lady Akira in the bathouse to change your choice about Grey’s transformation if you picked to return him to his male shape earlier.
– A new sparkling event in the tent where the game starts allows you to toggle the “colorblind mode” on and off now. This mode adds white letters on top of colored switches, levers, and crystals in areas where the color is important for riddles, so that colorblind people can solve them as well.
(This mode doesn’t change anything for objects where the color isn’t important for a riddle. If you notice a riddle I forgot to upgrade with this mode, please let me know.)
– You can now recruit Della as vanguard leader for a gun squad. The events start with a dialog with Cassedy in your sleeping chambers, after which you get the quest “The First Gun Squad.”
During this event, Della will be marked as “not recruited yet” if you used the cheat book to activate her earlier, but she will keep her level, skills and stats when you recruit her again.
– The CGs for Mary’s scene, Ryoko’s scene in the clinic, and Sandra’s first scene in the underground have been re-made to improve the art.
All new and old CGs can be seen in the CG room.
– The option to send the 4 slaves Grime, Miyako, Chieko and Glyntris to another country, or to set them free, when you buy them, was removed. If you picked either of those two options in the past, you can find the four girls in different places to fix your choice for them.
Grime – Thremten, top right corner.
Miyako – Havaria Port, below the dock to Amaranthe.
Chieko – Bottom of Witton, near the empty tent.
Glyntris – Parverhill, top left corner.
The dialog for this event is very short, since it’s more a “fix” than new content.
– New character sprites for Arevis, Baemeth, big spidergirls, jiangshis, and the imps.

Overview map and vanguard battles:
– The placeholder character sprite for Della and her vanguard squad were changed to the proper images.
– The messages for exp. gained and level ups for the academy now shows the name of the squad leader instead of the squad number.
– The loot chest in the arena for vanguard squads is now special and can be opened by every squad. The lockpick ability is not needed for this chest.
– In the arena battles, your turn now automatically ends when your AP are at 0 after an attack or movement.
– In the arena battles, the blue movement tiles now automatically appear for the active squad at the start of a turn.
– The “Turn X” message which appears at the start of turns in vanguard battles now automatically disappears after 1/4 sec.
– A bug was fixed, which caused enemy squads not to attack flying squads when they were above unpassable terrain.
– I made a new bonus battle map for the vanguards, primarily as a test for several new types of enemies:
Dark Orcs = Use swords
Brown Orcs = Use axes
Iron Golem = Boss enemy using a lance, with high DEF
Snakes = Bonus damage against mages (=”Dagger” attack type)
Skeletons = Use bows
Ghost lights = Use magic attacks
Ghosts = Use magic attacks (Like a “heavy” type = high DEF, low M.DEF)
Hornets = Monster damage type (bonus damage against gun users)
Wolves = Monster damage type (Moves during the opponents turn like cavalry troops)
Jellyfish = Monster damage type
