Release Notes for Minoria

Update 1.08 (09 March 2020)

• Parrying enemies is a bit faster now (freeze frame upon successful parry has been reduced by 10 frames).
• Improved the "!" bubble effect in the Library cutscene.
• A large room of the final area was divided into four rooms.
• Fixed a visual effect for when you defeat an enemy (little blue droplets that were barely visible before).

Update 1.07 (04 November 2019)

• The full "options" menu now is accessible from the title screen, including the menus to change the game's controls.
• Several changes to Frikka's boss fight: she has a more obvious "warning" effect before her slash attack. The slash animation is also much slower than it used to be, and she has a larger recovery period before she moves onto a different attack.
• Made the basic effect for "incoming enemy attack" more visible.
• Doubled the base damage dealt by the White Incense's projectile.
• Increased the healing properties of Fee's Blessed Incense from 5% to 10% of your maximum HP.
• Increased the frame window in which you can parry an enemy attack.
• Increased the damage dealt by the parry's counter.
• Increased the amount of damage dealt to enemies when they are in a stunned state. The value was increased from a x1.2 multiplier to x1.5.
• Increased the amount of damage dealt to enemies when they are in a counter state (when they receive damage during their attack animations). The value was increased from a x1.1 multiplier to x1.2. This multiplier is also applied to the amount of "stun" damage an enemy receives per hit.
• Increased the amount of experience earned when doing an "Overkill" (when your attack does more damage than twice the enemy's maximum health) on an enemy. The value was increased from a x2 multiplier to x3.

Update 1.06 (08 October 2019)

• Reduced the width of the contact hitbox from the Church/Garden minibosses, making it easier to dodge through their bodies.
• Increased the amount of time (from 16 frames to 45 frames) required to charge the special attacks Heavy Thrust / Cross Slash. This change is based on the feedback we got from players who said the attack came off too quickly and would "misfire".
• Increased the amount of stun damage dealt by parrying special enemies (bosses/some minibosses) from 10% to 30% of their maximum stun resistance.
• Enabled the parry counter against two enemies whose attacks could only be parried, but not countered: the sword-wielding Knight and the curved sword-wielding Witch Sproutling (that's the small enemy with the red shotel-looking weapon).
• Added a new extra subtle effect to the main character's landing animations.
• Fixed the Persephone weapon name not showing up in the inventory for the Simplified Chinese language.
• Fixed the disappearance of the huge Crystallized Ink Flower once you had attacked it.
