WINTER UPDATE

The Winter Update is here with plenty of goodies! Costumes for Crow, Rosie, Lunez, Chase and Genesis are now available. In addition, All costumes are permanently available! Fate Stones and Zodiac Souls

There's a new resource available called Fate Stones. You get them for defeating Zodiacs. You get one for each true condition. - Defeat Normally (Free Space) - Defeat without using Items - Defeat within a certain time limit (unique to each boss) Using these Fate Stones you can craft powerful Shards called Zodiac Souls. Using these will give you an edge in battle. You get the recipe after defeating each Zodiac except for three of them (Gemini, Aquarius, and [REDACTED]) for which you have to find some other way to craft them other than Poakun. Obtaining all of these conditions in Hard Mode will also award an Achievement! These are the Zodiac GOLD achievements. You can obtain them naturally during the story or in the Secret Area. After defeating a Faceless, you can do a true rematch with the Zodiac, and there you can fight to earn the achievement or farm Fate Stones for Zodiac Souls. The Secret Area also received a bit of a revamp. It looks cleaner now, and theres even a new area to explore if you can find it, that is. Im sure youll be rewarded if you do. New Content -15 New Achievements! -New Fate Stones to craft powerful items -New Secret Boss! [spoiler]Ophiucus[/spoiler] -New Costumes! -Unsynced Aquarius has a new mechanic! -Rematches for The Zodiacs and certain Angels Balance Changes -Costumes now scale in price with your story progress (With the sole exception of Runi's.) -Bulwark now adds barrier equal to Detrituss DEFENCE stat to allies every turn instead of level. -Damage from statuses (Such as Aqua Bolas, Vine/Shadow Trap) can no longer kill bosses. They can still kill enemies. -All Push Skills have a cap. They cant be pushed more than four times. This is to save an interaction between Reaper and Multi-push skills. This interaction is still very strong. -Multi-Kicker has a push cap of 10. There was an infinite with Heart Aura, so I had to make it not interact with lifesteal. Now with the cap, it has full interaction with that skill. -Rapid Shot Damage Increase -Aqua Bolas barrier damage doubled -Hyper Heal has its cooldown increased to 7 -Vanguard and Ripotse no longer have a damage cap of 500 -Riposte MP Up -Bonus Mod now gives +30 stats (up from +10) -Boozy Mod now gives +50 to all stats (up from +10) -Blood Berry is now a Magical move instead of a Physical one -Vine Trap now triggers on Physical Hits AND Any Wood-Type spell -Stop Gap has no Cooldown. -Coat of Farms removes Vulnerable, Silence, and now CORRECTLY removes debuffs Bug Fixes -Typos and repeated dialogue fixed in certain areas -Sync Skills will now remember that you can only Sync once, even if a Synced party member died. This includes Chases Ultimate Item. -Saying yes to Capricorn now adds +1 to Akari's ending instead of setting it to 1. -Candy Slinger was incorrectly labeled as a Runi Weapon. It's now a Crow Weapon. -Brainstorm and Snackrifice always have Flash Dev Commentary I initially wanted the Winter Update to be pretty small, as I wanted to focus more on Dyztopia 2 development, but knowing how I dev that just wasn't going to happen. I didn't think I'd make it to five Costumes for this update but here we are (Plus Chase uses a completely new sprite sheet). I'm happy with the new batch. I put a lot of thought into them, The skills this time around I feel don't seem unique at first but I really like the design of Flamlanx, Timber, and Toxice. I brought back Genesis's Bio Bomb and I like that Rosie has an Alcohol Healing skill that's way better than Runi's showing that she is truly the better bartender. As for the GOLD achievements. Getting them in the story is tough. I was able to get all of them with cruddy gear, but some of them were nightmares (Looking at you Libra). That being said, getting them in the post-game is way easier when you have more party members, and the only thing you miss out on are Shards by not doing them. SPOILER TIME [spoiler] Now, I'm not saying anything about the fate of Dyztopia 2, but in the event it doesn't happen, I wanted to do a true Ophiucus fight. The fight is TOUGH and it looks fantastic. I think it's my favorite fight of Dyztopia next to Y-Phen. I'm being a little cryptic about it because it's kind of hard to get to, but it is obtainable in any non-Evil Runi run. [/spoiler] And that's it for the Winter Update! I think it is really tailored towards post-game, and there's a healthy amount of secrets here that I haven't shared. As for me, I'm probably going to take the month of December off from Dev and enjoy the holidays, That being said... I'm going to update my achievement guide (with exact turns on the Gold achievements) and still be available for bug fixes and typos so don't hesitate to contact me on Discord or Twitter. Happy Holidays, y'all. Twitter: https://twitter.com/Dyztopia1 Discord: https://discord.gg/Qqa35n2XvE
