Deltarune – Ver. 0.0.0.253

  • Release date: TBA
  • Patch notes:

ADDITIONAL CHAPTER 5 FEATURES
・After losing to the Shadow Crystal boss, a Pink Bomb will appear outside the arena. Talking to this bomb allows you to choose “Nicer” or “Meaner”. Choosing “Nicer” causes the boss’s small bomb attacks to have an indication of where their explosions will target. The bombs will also take 1/6th of a second longer to explode. Choosing “Meaner” causes all of the boss’s attacks to deal 25% more damage as well as slightly increases the speed of a couple attacks. The bomb explosion hitbox also activates 1 frame later regardless of difficulty.*
* Note: Girls like it when you are better at dodging danmaku.
・Malius now animates when fusing items.

FIXED BUGS
Chapter 2
・Removed a softlock caused by disconnecting an audio device during sequences synced to the music.
・Losing against Queen no longer fails to replenish your used items.
・A Downed character will no longer stay Downed after defeating Queen.

Chapter ３
・Fixed a softlock involving getting the Power Croissant and saving Lancer in Board 1 in a specific order.
・Fixed 2 softlocks involving turning enemies into pushable objects.
・Attempted to fix a crash involving Kris being downed when Tenna’s final attack starts.

Chapter ４
・Fixed an issue where Susie’s magic was erroneously upgraded to BetterHeal upon fighting the boss of the Second Sanctuary. This change is also reflected in Chapter 5 – Susie’s healing will no longer be improved if you didn’t defeat the ShadowCrystal boss. (Although the name of the spell is the same either way now)
・You are no longer prevented from getting the BlackShard from the cliff if you have the BlueRibbon.
・Spamton’s box will no longer appear at the Cliff.
・You can no longer avoid getting chased before meeting the Old Man for the first time.
・When fighting the Shadow Crystal boss, the button prompt that appears should now properly reflect the button you are supposed to press.
・You no longer lose TP from quitting out of Susie’s menu selection when fighting the boss of the 2nd Sanctuary.
・Removed a softlock caused by disconnecting an audio device during the credits.
・Fixed a few minor issues.

Chapter 5
・Fixed a softlock introduced by a previous bug fix in the Garden room with the light pillar.
・Fixed a crash introduced by a previous bug fix where you could defeat Yellow with violence using a precise set up.
・Fixed a bug where you can walk around with the dialogue box open in the room where you fight Sheary.
・Removed Honey Toast from the inventory when sleeping in the bed at the beginning of the Chapter.
・Fixed dozens of minor bugs and visual issues.

Thanks for your patience while we adjusted the game. We will now return to focusing on developing Chapter 6. We have no current plans for another patch unless any additional issues arise.

Deltarune – Ver. 0.0.0.250

  • Release date: ???
  • Patch notes:

GAMEPLAY ADDITIONS
・A Golden Tenna Statue will now appear in Castle Town in Chapter 5 if you got it from the Ball Machine in Chapter 3.
・The ability to permanently re-enable Voice Clips has been shoddily added if you lose to the Chapter Boss and have them disabled.

GAMEPLAY ISSUES
・In Chapter 4, defeating a Titan Spawn with violence no longer erroneously counts as “Lost”. We also fixed an issue in Chapter 5 where Jackenstein would not appear in your town because of this.
・Susie now has additional magic points in Chapter 5 if you defeated the Shadow Crystal boss of Chapter 4.
・Fixed some issues where the number on the TP display was occasionally inaccurate.
・You can no longer incorrectly leave a certain scene by frame-perfectly opening the menu in the Light World.
・Fixed an issue where on gamepads, ZL / L2 would count only as a single frame press of confirm in Chapter 5 only.
・Fixed an issue involving bugged blank item slots which had been carried over from Chapter 4 save files before it was fixed in that chapter.
・Fixed an issue where you can clip through the floor after fighting three scarecrows by immediately opening the ACT menu, and other bugs involving the ACT menu.
・You can no longer crash the game by hitting an enemy and a Mysterious Statue at the same time. (Unless you can)
・You can no longer walk around during combat by interacting with Final Starwalker on the same frame you engage a battle. (And other similar issues)
・Fixed various scenarios where you can move around with the menu open.
・Fixed certain bullet patterns not giving TP when grazed.
・Kris will no longer stay sideways if you enter into the final cutscene of Chapter 5 sideways.
・Fixed MANY other minor issues, visual or otherwise.

NEXT TIME
In the next patch, we will add an option to nerf the bombs of the Shadow Crystal boss after losing to them once. Additionally, we plan to fix a small number of bugs in previous chapters which had gone unaddressed up until this point.
There is no plan for another extensive Chapter 5 patch after the next one. Instead, we will resume fully concentrating our development resources on Chapter 6 and 7.
