New Elements Destiny Demo Patch & Patch Notes (Patch #1)

Sep 5, 2023

A new version of the Elements Destiny demo is now live! (Patch #1)

These are the patch notes:

Resolved Bugs/Issues in Combat:

We have fixed several issues that could cause the game to freeze during combat.
The HP bar will now update correctly at all times.
The boss will no longer immediately receive a status effect if the same effect has already been applied to them.
Attacks that miss will no longer trigger their corresponding effects.
The Elemental Shock status icon will no longer be hidden behind the combat timeline for the Brilliant Scholar enemies.
Erika's marking techniques now have the intended effect.
In combat, there was a bug in the calculation of resistance and armor values, causing increases and decreases in these values to have no noticeable effect.

Other Resolved Bugs/Issues:

We have addressed various problems that could cause certain puzzle mechanics to malfunction.
Multiple layer and collision issues have been resolved.
Several problems causing light cones in dark rooms to erroneously turn off have been fixed.
Control input in the main menu is now disabled until the scene has loaded.
UI text will no longer shift incorrectly.
After a game reset, the player will now always start with Erika.
The menu UI will no longer move along with the character if the menu is opened during movement.
Karen is now playable only after she joins the player.

New Features in Combat:

All status effect icons now display a round counter.
Debuffs on group members now have sound effects and a new animation (to be further expanded in the future).
Characters will regenerate a small amount of EP when taking damage.
Defending now provides the following effects:
Slight TP and EP regeneration.
If a character takes damage while defending, they will regenerate more EP than when taking hits without defending.

Other New Features:

The end of the demo is now clearly identifiable.
A loading screen has been added.
The game can now be exited at any time via the start menu or the main menu.

Demo Feedback

I apologize that this feedback will have to be in English. Hopefully it can be useful. The bones here are actually good. There is a game in this, but it needs a bit of polish still. I think the art style is quite nice, even if it's a bit strange to have the pixel art character sprites outside of battle, and 2D portraits in battle. I also love that the voice actresses are just giving it 110%. I have no idea what they are saying, but they are all incredibly enthusiastic. Really gave great energy. Now for t...

New Beta Demo & Known Issues

Aug 30, 2023

Known Gamebreaker Bugs:

If the Technical or Elemental menu is opened and "Confirm" is pressed too quickly again, the battle freezes.
Rapidly alternating between pressing "Confirm" and "Cancel" shifts the interface, potentially causing the battle to freeze.
Selecting "Game reset" from the pause menu may cause the player to be unable to move after the first scene.

Other Known Bugs:

Descriptions and information for Elemental and Technical attacks may shift around.
The HP bar sometimes doesn't update properly while the displayed number remains correct.
If a status is added to the Guardian of the Light and then thrown back by the boss using Purification Star, the same status can immediately be added again.
Even for missed attacks, all effects are triggered (status potential, EP charge, etc.).
In one case, Maline received no damage and no status potential even though her attack was reflected by the Guardian of the Light. The battle didn't proceed after that, but the battle continued after using "Cancel" and then inputting a different action.
The Elemental Shock status icon is often positioned behind the battle timeline for the Brilliant Scholar.
The loading time from a battle loss to the "Game Over" screen is extremely long.
When healed and simultaneously injured (e.g., through bleeding), the numbers from the floating text overlap.
Erika's marking techniques have no effect.
In the start menu, the player can already be controlled after selecting a starting point and then pressing "Confirm" again.
The text under Main Quest in the menu occasionally has display/formatting errors.
In the room with the second mirror puzzle, the previously lowered pillars disappear after collecting the yellow orb.
The player character is not always reset to Erika after a manual game reset.
When the player character's movement is ongoing and the main menu is opened, the menu UI twitches.
Cutscrenes may not perform correctly on low-performance systems due to frame skips.
Karen is playable before she joins the group (not a proper "bug," as it was a necessary workaround for another issue. However, it will be fixed).
The fade-out at the end of the demo doesn't last long enough before the game resets.
Entering a battle while the ground is flashing in light floor sections keeps the ground visible after the battle.
The player light is uncomfortably bright in some rooms in the catacombs of Lourant.
The light cones of NPCs/player in dark rooms malfunction in some rooms.
The movable floor plates in the second passage of the final Light Floor puzzle aren't functional.
Initiating a battle during the first mirror puzzle renders the mirrors unusable afterward (can be fixed by leaving the room and reentering).
Minor movements of character graphics in battle can distort over time. Additionally, originally smooth movements are twitching.

Layering and Collision Bugs:

The wall in the upper left of the inn (ground floor) has no collision.
The statues in front of the castle entrance intersect with the player's head.
If the player runs too quickly towards the door leading to the throne room, the player disappears behind the door.
Near the pillars in the corners of the main hall of the castle, the player can only pass by running.
The player's head clips through walls when getting too close to the walls in underpasses.
The upper area in the monster room in the catacombs of Lourant has misleading collisions.
Treasure chests from elevated positions can also be opened from below.

Planned features that will be added latest with the final release:

Additional messages will be added to the combat messages under the timeline.
A combat log that can be accessed at any time during battles will display the latest combat messages and explain all currently active status icons.
All status icons will receive a round counter.
If a character in the group suffers a debuff, this will be visually emphasized.
Defending will receive the following, other functions: Slight TP and EP regeneration. More EP will be regenerated when attacked while defending. It will also be clear whether a character is currently defending.
A character will receive very slight EP regeneration when attacked.
The representation of the current turn order in battles will be further improved.
Erika will receive a technique that allows viewing an enemy's LP bar alongside its element and type.
If multiple identical enemies are involved in a battle, they will be identified with a number in the timeline and on the battle field.
Enemies in battles will receive shadows.
The TP will be shortened by one digit.
For Lias's Illusory Blade techniques, visibility will be improved to show that they cost both TP and LP.
The costs of Elemental and Technical attacks will be represented differently to make them easier to attribute to resources.
After a victorious battle, there will be a results screen.
Items will be usable (in and out of battle).
Saving and loading will be possible. (obviously)
Long loading sequences will have a loading screen.
At the end of the demo, text will be inserted clearly indicating that the demo is over before returning to the title screen.
A backlog for rereading past text boxes within dialogues will be implemented.
While a text box's text is being built, it will only be fully displayed when the confirmation button is pressed before the next text box is called by pressing the confirmation button again.

Some of these bugs we want to fix for the demo as soon as possible. Once the patch is live, we will release another post with corresponding patch notes.

Furthermore, there were many other interesting ideas and suggestions that we will discuss within the team over time. However, to keep this list from becoming too overwhelming, we won't mention them here. Thank you for your feedback!

Demo completely unplayable

Exactly what title says. Controller works for around 30 seconds, maybe less, and then, it just refuses to keep responding. How am I supposed to be attracted by the game, if the demo is so buggy that it's unplayable?

Did I finish it?

During the final boss of the demo, I assume that he was, it just stopped working. I mean we were kinda doing our idle animations and waiting for a menue or attack to appear if you know what I mean. I somehow got a menue for a second but it was gone before i noticed what it was. I probably had a chance to do an attack or whatever, but I could recreat that effect....

Game data

Sorry just need to make sure where to find it again, when I want to deleete a save or maybe everything I can find from the demo before the main game comes out. From what I hear others say and sometimes saw with my PC, there is always something more difficult to find....
