Goblin Layer v0.58.2 Android Port

v0.58.2

v0.58

v0.57.6 + 0.57.6.1

Scenes
- Lockpicking scene with Priestess (Uses new artstyle)
(The new scene can be played before starting chapter 2,4 and 5 if I remember correctly. Talk to Priestess in church.)
- New Year Special scenes are back on the menu. Starts in the Town Hall after you've met Anvil & Barrel.
- Summer Special scenes are back on the menu. Starts in the Town Hall after you've met Anvil & Barrel.
(If you haven't played New Year/Summer Special before, that's basically two new adventures along with new scenes.)
Also, not directly related to the game, but I polished the look of my Itch page, and some parts of the Patreon.
Hope you'll like the changes.

Bugfixes
.....................
Fixed/Improved the way party members are added/removed from the Party.
The game should now be able to tell if they were just temporarily added (like for Frontier Conquest) OR Properly added (Like for a Main Quest). Currently this system should work for the Frontier Conquest areas. If there's no reports about weird things happening there, I will uss it for other stuff as well.
Fixed some problems with Enemy selection control in battle which made certain attacks not behave as they should
Removed 'check 0 damage' skill, it was a leftover from testing

Fixed debug items missing....
Fixed Offspring-related bugs, e.g. scenes not triggering and such

Bugfixes

An assortment of minor bugs and tileset fixes
I will work on a lot of bugfixes for 0.51. Normally I'd 'backport' them to public, but this time it'll affect too much stuff.

Goblin Layer 0.44.7 "Proclimactic-Edition" Release!

Spicy Art/Scenes
..........................................
Added in 'climactic' renders for all characters in the summer special (see 0.44.6. Changelog below)
Added in option to repeat the scene directly before the climax
Added additional sound/voice fx for all scenes in the summer special
Added in option to replay all scenes directly in Cheat Room, bypassing the quest. Lower left of the room.

Game
..........................................
Re-upgraded the 'engine', aka nw.js to 0.49.2, which the highest stable version confirmed working/compatible so for.
Apparently the company making rpgmaker decided it was time for a random update, which caused nw.js to get reverted back to the ancient original version. But it's fixed now. Still testing some newer versions as well, that in theory should improve performance, but in practice... well you know how it is.
Did some map touch ups.
Made Cottage exit more obvious during certain stage
Updated Town Hall
Updated Cheat Room

Bugs
..........................................
Fixed gnome gore disappearing

Got rid off shora lightning plugin, seemed to cause errors for certain people due to reasons unknown, haven't been able to recreate since it works on my machine.

--> If you ever encounter a light related error, there's a workaround. Got to js/plugins, in the game folder.
Find "Community_Lighting.js", then open it in a text editor, delete all code, save. It will kill the plugin, and all light effects.

Next episode, planned and actively working on:
..........................................
Our protagonist and Barrel attempts to avoid getting tracked by the government.
Also looking into the stuff mentioned in the bug reports!

Future Episodes, Idea stage:
..........................................
Barrel got a plan involving green crystals
Priestess worries about GL's increasing debt, time for an intervention?
Gains goblins and black metal up in the Northern Frontier
Cow Girl's farm gets attacked
A Dark Elf?

Media
Mr Falcon made a video of the game (It's a very old version though, 0.25): Goblin Slayer would love this thicc Goblin BREEDING RPG - YouTube
Sex Positive Gaming also talks about the game: Hogwarts can't stop the Goblin Revolution! around 5:08

Got a 32 bit system? Not playing on windows? Errors?
Check Tech support spoiler at the bottom.

When updating to new version,
Usually you can copy paste your save into the new version folder. Sometimes saves will break between updates or cause bugs.

I try to keep things compatible between saves, but sometimes its just not possible du. It is a game in development after all. The empty shack in Hubtown is probably the best place to save at the moment.

Update Schedule:
1-3 updates per month. It depends on how much free time I got, this is something I'm working on in my weekends/evenings.

You don't have to worry about the cheating tag unless you're a goblin.

The game is RPGM, but grinding and other annoying bullshit will be kept to a minimum.

Feel free to message me on Patreon/Discord in case you got any questions, I'll answer as soon as I can (just bear with me if it takes a while, this is something I work on during weekedns/evenings , while working full time as a wageslave).
