We have finally implemented a decal function that allows 2D images to be projected onto maps and 3D models!

In addition, the following features, which have been requested for some time, have been implemented.

• "Vertical Slider" that extends up and down, which can be set in Layout Tool
  
• Improved UI and added abilities for "State Definition"
  
• Added "Change Screen Switching Effect" panel
  
• Ability to change the selections displayed based on conditions

Ver. 1.10 also includes various other additions and improvements, as well as bug fixes.

---

- A "decal" function has been added.

Added "Decal Stamps" to Resources to allow stamping of 2D images that specify a new "Decal shader" added to the Materials.
This allows you to decorate 3D backgrounds with 2D images.
This function can also be used as graphics for events, so it can be used as gimmicks for games.
Please see the video below for decals.

- "Vertical Sliders" that extend up and down can now be created with the Layout Tool.

"Slider Orientation" has been added to the properties of the Layout Tool > Slider panel, and the ability to select the orientation of slider expansion/contraction from "Up/Down" or " Left/Right" has been added.

- Improved the editing UI of State Definition > ""State" Abilities".
Change to a UI where you can select and add abilities.
We will continue to improve the Database UI.

In addition, the following "state" abilities have been added:
Automatic damage besides HP, automatic recovery, and Change in Encounter Rate

- A "Change Screen Switching Effect (Transition)" panel has been implemented to change the screen switching effect (transition) during the process of moving from map to battle and between maps in the middle of a game.

This will allow screen switching effects to be changed using events in "boss battles" and "scenes entering important maps".

- The "Select from Selection and Check Results" panel now can specify a display condition switch for each selection.
This made it easier to create events such as "the selections change depending on which items they have".

Finally, mask animation has been implemented.
It is now possible to animate the area of the image to be masked by adding a mask layer to the sprite. This allows for a wider range of on-screen effects using 2D images, such as cutscenes for special moves, transitions during scene changes, and animations when the on-screen UI appears and disappears!

We have also added the ability to increase the number of battle commands as desired, and to narrow down the list of skills and items used in battles by "tags".
This allows you to implement "skill" and "spell" as separate commands, or to create many commands per skill, such as "fire" and "sleep," and assign them to the casts.

And! We have added free 2D assets with Chinese design to our Game Gallery!
It includes pixel-art style hero and monster casts, icon data for items, layout data and images that can be used for on-screen UI.

Ver. 1.9 also includes various other features and bug fixes.

- Added mask animation function.
The sprite tool can now specify a mask layer for sprites. Masked sprites can also be applied to layout parts, so they can be used for movements when appearing/disappearing for on-screen UI.
- Battle command addition function has been implemented.
You can now add as many battle commands as you like in the Database > Casts > Battles tab. At the same time, in the Layout Tool's battle-related screens, the list of skills and items to be used can be narrowed down using "tags" specified in the Database.
It will be possible to separate battle commands for different types of skills and items, such as "fire" and "heal", etc.
- "Chinese Style 2D Assets", a 2D asset pack with Chinese design, has been added to the Game Gallery.
Pixel art style casts (7 heroes with various motions, 5 mobs with only some motions for use as NPCs, 16 monsters of 8 types for side-view battles), 100 icon images (45 types) that can be used for items, layout data and images that can be used for on-screen UI are compiled in an asset pack implemented in the Game Gallery.
