1. Extract and run Heavy Hearts.exe.

– Felix mission would not reward a star. This is now fixed.

– Bug fixed that prevented the player from entering Priscillas hidden cave area.

– Improved controller support.

– Possibly fixed the 2nd Tutorial boss bug? I can’t replicate this bug myself as it happens to <15% of players.

– All players can skip the studio intro titles now.

– Priscilla’s character portrait is now just as animated as Luccias!

Lewd Changes:

– Added a major H scene involving Priscilla x Werewolf. This scene is accessible by finding all lorestones in L9 (Colonia) This is the reason why its called 0.5.5 Furry

– Defeating Orcosaurus now rewards the player with a full lewd animation. In the future, all superbosses will get a lewd animation.

– Expanded the Grove Zone Lorestone animation sequence. Another full animation has become part of the scene and some of the dialogue has been updated. An alternate of this animation was added to Zone 9, where Dog rescues Luccia.

– Combat just got hotter, as now non-boss enemies have a change of dropping a Mimic instead of a Treasure. The mimic will ensnare Luccia, delaying her attacks. If she stays ensnared too long, she will stagger. There are 4 mimic animation in total.

– There is now a plant trap in the Bridge Zone. It can trap Luccia in place.

– Finished Felix’s questline in the Cave zone. The ending includes a lewd pixel scene.

Major Changes:

– Luccia and Priscilla’s character portrait now has over 14 poses, and uses them freqeuntly throughout the game. She is much more animated, goofy and relatable to the player with her nonverbal communications.

– Luccia now gains levels with experience. This should make the game much easier. Max level is 5, and adds small incrememnts to HP, Poise, Min/MaxAtk, Min/MaxMag Atk. HP also restores when leveling up in the middle of combat. Player also only has 2 Orbs at Level 1.

– Luccia can now attack-cancel, allowing for easier blocking.

– Save Logic now allows for save-slot selection. Sorry this took so long!

– Visual Key Feedback are now visible on the Combat menu.

– Buffs are reconfigured. Player can obtain an ATB Charge rate buff (max 30%), a A poise Charge rate (max 30%), and a Starting Charged orb buff based on certain criteria. Old buffs are gone.

N/A

Condensed Changelog:

KNOWN ISSUES: There is a chance of softlocking during the Dog Platforming stage if you attempt to leave the level. This portion is totally skippable… so, Skip it until we fix it.

Here is a compiled list of all the updates, many of which were mentioned in previous devlogs, along with some new items.

-Brand New, fully animated Title Screen

-Completely Re-done lewd scene. You can find this new scene in the grove.

-Finished Scab, Acnea, and Orcosaurus sidequests. Completing it will get you a pixel lewd scene!

-An existing pixel lewd scene has an additional position added to it. You can find it while camping after the Orc Village.

-Updated UI for Buy / Sell / Inventory / etc

-Save system is completely revamped. You now have 5 slots to save in, and I have removed the ability to save from the pause menu. You now have to interact with an object in the world to save.

-Ability to go back to world map from any level.

-I used AI upscaling techniques and prompts to de-pixelate some backgrounds. Battles are still pixel, but Bust-Conversation scenes now have high-res backgrounds, so as not to contrast.

-There is now a better font for all text. It supports lots of languages, so expect localization soon.

-Replaced the old wooden blimp airship with a real one, completely custom. The new airship represents an advanced civilization, not yet encountered in HH. This includes Rhed’s minigame where you can see the massive new deck.

-Keymapping’s have been heavily cleaned up.

-You can now toggle keyprompts between controller and keyboard

-Changed Gossamer Luna (werewolf town) from a side view explorative to a top-down explorative to match the rest of the game. You can now freely roam –Gossamer Luna and talk to the wolves without having to leave and come back

-Less annoying UI sounds.

-You can now view your time played and other stats when selecting a save slot.

-Refactored ALOT of tiles in the name of performance. I hated doing this btw.

-Removed mouse functionality. Everybody hated it anyway.

-Gallery got some improvements.

-A lewd scene in Lv4 got some new SFX.

-Pausing the game now disables layer motion instead of changing game speed.

-Lorestone text has been modified…again.

-There is a new way to display the controls. Controller support is now optimized, and you can change the input prompts between Keyboard and Controller.

-Fixed a bug that softlocked the game if Dog fell down, off the screen.

-Fixed a bug that made replaying Level 8 softlocked and unplayable.

-Changed the ship’s “Torches” To Obelisks, and the Obelisk to a large Azulite.

-Removed the Lewd UI from some of the old bonus scenes. This reduced resources and increases performance for the entire game, believe it or not.  The old bonus scenes are still available just the same, but some features such as zoom is removed.

-Added an “examine” context prompt to all items that are interactable. Chests excluded.

-Sped up the dialogue menus to display instantly.

-Removed lots of old, unused assets

-Various code cleaned up and refactored because I’m a little better at shit now.

-Added an audio queu when new new levels pop up on world map

-Removed unnecessary buttons from world map

-Tutorials now show correct prompts for new button layout

-Lowered difficulty or OOTA fight.

-Fixed an issue where “End of Demo” text show before end of demo.

-New Airship deck looks much better. Also, nice crystal effects.

-Changed the text color during some scenes so that it is more visible.

-Fixed some voice blips that were improperly placed

-Removed some context keys from World map . They were useless.

-Fixed some of the tutorial prompts. I will probably have to do this again soon, since localization is going to be a thing.

-Changed some tile priories that caused Luccia to appear under the tiles inappropriately.

-Fixed an issue that caused Luccia’s Orc Skin not to toggle when in a lewd scene

-Fixed some wall clip tile issues.

-Fixed an issue where Dog’s lines at the beginning of his platforming level did not display.

-Rhed now talks to a new character appropriately during his ship rescue level

-Removed the Slime character that traded stuff. Kyr is so much better anyway.

1. Certain abilities were available before they were explained – specifically, Magic, Heavy Swing, and Elements. Now, they will not be available until you reach the appropriate part in the tutorial.

2. There was a weird resolution mismatch in the Orc patrol story. That has been fixed.

3. Removed pause from the world map, and corrected an issue where you would get softlocked after returning from a level early.

4. Fixed some text misalignment issues, and portal locations.

5. Fixed a trigger in L7 that caused you to skip entire stages.

6.  Significantly reduced processor load on the Combat Tutorial.  Slower computer should notice faster gameplay.

7. If you choose Cheat Mode, you will get alot of coins with it.

8. Kyr now sells *everything*, even those pesky quest items.

9. Significantly reduced the amount of ingredients you need to bring Grumaz. This means much less grinding for beast meat!

10. Changed Wolf movement speed, attack speed, and also gave him the ability to dash by pressing C.

11. Increased Bird movement in his minigame.

12. changed switch logic for L8’s key items, which should fix some of the problems people have with certain triggers.

1. Level 8 & Chapter 1’s conclusion. Going beyond the Colonian Approach platforming level, Dog will now navigate the inner city and battlements of the former Human capital. Inside, the player will find out more on what life was like before the Glithe encounter. I am realy happy with this level, because it requires exploration in order to advance. You will need to read, find clues, and find out what happened in order to progress. The final conflict of Chapter 1 is also completed- meaning there will be one last battle before the end.

2. A new fully rendered scene when exiting the cave!

3. A badass title screen that I think more perfectly fits the game’s narriative.

4.  New combat modes. One is called Counterstance, so you can now counter those pesky unblockable heavy attacks. The other is a new, spoilerrific mode that is only available during certain situations.

5. Some rewrites. There are some major story changes that accomodate the game in the long haul – things that were inconsistent or did not fit the narriative has been changed. You will see more of these changes in Level 5.

6. Rural Merchant Kyr. A young goblin will now buy/sell items from you, unlockable after Level 3. Items will play a larger role in future builds.

7. New Bust for Dog! I did not like the previous bust for our canine companion, so Cheka put together a much better design!

8. Doggo combat companion! You can now take Dog into combat with you. He helps with physical attacks, and, if Luccia is Staggered, he will tank damage for her!

9. There will be new lewd scenes, but there will not be a traditional Major Lewd Event in this update. This is mostly story/tech! Please do not expect another scene similar to the Orc breeding in this build. I will say this: werewolves are coming next!

10. Added one new major animation

Other Updates:

-Player now regains poise slighly faster when blocking.

-Additional animation when Luccia staggers, or is in a scene.

-Additional SFX to some animations

-Updated Hundswolds sprite (Yes, I know you cant really make him out in the turorial, but it needed an upped framecount)

-Fixed a situation where resolution was weird during a battle.

-Increased rate at which cave monsters attack. It was too slow before.

-Removed a bug where the Egg/Glithe had an HP bar.

-Fixed a bug where tan orcs did not go off screen and dissapear during on of the scenes.

-temporarily disabled Counterstance.

-Removed mouse navigation functionality after feedback from community.

-Fixed some ugly tiling

-Adjusted some dialogue during the camp scene.

-Fixed a bug where the fire particles were off center from the bonfire image.

————————————————————————————————

1. Concluded the Orc H scene.

2. Added a bonus scene that was discarded from development.

3.  Reduced inefficient coding that made unnecessary drain on performance

4. Minor tiling fixes

5. Eliminated a bug that caused crashing upon loading a saved state

6. Added new gameover scene

7. Added various story pieces.

8. Gave additional hints to players for finding the Gallery, and for what to do in the Threshing area.

9. Fixed a bug that stopped progression after losing to the Arcane Golem, or if certain keys are pressed during Lorestone01 H scene

Changelog:

1.  Additional story and scenes. Most notably, cutscenes and dialogue between missions and some amplification into the main characters back story. Existing levels have also been updated.

2. Attack Elements. – I Have implemented a means where players can add Ice, Fire, or Lightning elements to their physical attack. This also involves the implementation of a “Combat Menu” (don’t worry, it is not command based) to do so. Each element change costs 1 orb, and adds that specified element to Luccia’s physical attack for about 10 seconds (time pending balance). Different enemies will be able to have their weaknesses exploited. Further, you will be able to tell if you hit the weakness based on visual and auditory feedback, which should be pretty obvious.

3.  Heavy attacks – Holding <- and Z will have Luccia wind up a Heavy physical swing that uses 1 orb and heavily damages the enemy. The heavy attack also benefits from whatever element is active.

4. Combat animations for victory, heavy attacks.

5. Additional busts

6. And also, I have unlocked the next level, which will be a platformer. Lorestone scenes will unlock, but will not yeild anything until I finish that part.

7. Optimization and efficiency. Bug fixes.

8. fixed an issue where the wolf sprite will duplicate when during Level 7

9. Fixed a bug where, After beating orcasuarus you can’t talk with him any more. This questline still is not finished, so you cannot advance in his story until later.

10. Fixed an issue where  it locks you in place when you choose no for the world map or for giving bones to Grumez, and then it asks you again till you choose yes

11. Save loading crashes are less of a bug and more of an issue with old saves being found in your users/appdata folder. Saves should be located inside of the game folder now.

12. Removed a bug where if you Press ESC, select ‘MAIN MENU’, and press ESC again, then the popup will stuck there.

13. Added another bust scene

14. added another minigame.

I want to create adult games that stand on their own, even without the porn. An interesting story, comparable gameplay to well known RPGs, and quality art. That is my commitment.

– Normal attacks build the ATB gauge (called NRG). Each filled gauge adds a Combat Orb to your Hud, which can be used for abilities. With each orb, you can charge Magic a level, and blast enemies away.

-STAGGER! Run out of HP and you die, but run out of Poise and you will be put into a staggered, vulnerable state.

-The gameplay is optimized for Keyboard use. Mash Z=Attack, Hold X=Magic, C=Block.

-Combat and exploration can be played with a mouse. Mouse support while in Exploration mode has very limited pathfinding.

-Time your blocks correctly and you can counterattack
