Changelog

• Version BETA 0.0.1

Played privately by JupiterClimb

• Version OFFICIAL 1.0.0 (06/07/2022)

First major release.

• Plans for the next update:

Fix most things that make people cry a lot. Us ROM hackers are also human beings, so of course there are a lot of oopsies in the game on the first release. We're not professional either, bruh…
That being said, the next update will be huge. Only 2 or 3 people were involved in this new update because other devs deserved to do their thing. The next update will include the following:

• Revamped weapons (sprites and damage balancing, etc.)
• Finish up Fernandez's mode (FERNANDEZ'S mode isn't ready!)
• More music, this hack will have its own original remixes (no music from other DSvania games, e.g "Riddle" from Order of Ecclesia)
• Character portrait (people were complaining about it a lot)
• Maybe… Just maybe… A custom-programmed thing?

Thanks for the current feedback, we're still working on the update. Please have patience.
Check the Readme and the "Quality of Life Tips" files for more accessible gameplay. Otherwise, enjoy the game!
