1.8.2 Patch Notes

Hello, Residents of New Wirral!

Here's a small list of improvements to the game since we launched The Sunshine Update, that is now live on PC and console versions of the game!

Note: This patch is version 1.8.2 for the Steam version of Cassette Beasts but will display as 1.8.3 on some console platforms.

Fixes

  • Fixed some of Sunny’s portraits appearing pixelated instead of being filtered linearly on large screens.
  • Fixed the move Royal Flush’s description saying it’s Melee when it’s actually Ranged.
  • Fixed some minor Sunny dialogues not playing when camping if the party does not actually need to heal at the time.
  • Fixed enemies with Royal Flush incorrectly removing their own statuses when not even using Royal Flush.
  • Fixed partner tapes being incorrect if you quit a randomiser file and then create or load a new file.
  • Fixed the new roaming beast added in 1.8.0 (temporarily) deleting overworld chunks if you lure it far enough from its starting point before fighting it.
  • Fixed a loop you could get stuck in if you stood on the chest on the raising platform in the North-East corner of the overworld.
  • Moved a stalagmite in a cave in Eastham Woods that could get the player character stuck.
  • If you’ve already battled all NPCs in the main game, you can now get the headskip achievement by jumping over Frankie, Vin, or Kirby in the postgame.
  • Fixed a wrongwarp glitch that could occur near Platform A at Mournington Crescent.
  • Fixed Padpole showing a Max AP of 4 instead of the 5 it actually has in battle.
  • Fixed some missing collision on the exterior of Mt. Wirral.
  • Fixed a typo in Pawprince’s bio.
  • Fixed some of Sunny’s romance dialogue at the end of the game being skipped.

The “Sunshine Update” is now available!

Greetings, residents of New Wirral! The new version 1.8 “Sunshine Update,” has officially launched today, bringing a bevy of fresh features to Cassette Beasts for both newcomers and seasoned players!





Sunny days are upon us!
Beloved NPC, Sunny, will now have a new storyline! Following the main story, players will have the opportunity to partner with Sunny for the first time as she embarks on a new questline to uncover details about her past as one of New Wirral’s peculiar Landkeepers.

As a note, Sunny’s content is only available to those that have finished the main story of Cassette Beasts!





New Monsters!

Sunny’s questline introduces a few new monsters, including her signature tape form, Pawper! This large beast-type creature resembles a bear costume… but is there a deeper mystery under its skin? Best not to think about it too long.... Pawper’s signature move, “Bear Hug,” transfers negative status effects to the target, making them quite the tactical partner.

There are two other monsters but...we’ll let you find them in game ;)



Soar through the air with brand new wings!
This update allows you to personalize your gliding wings after recording specific monsters. If you’re looking for even more wing options to enhance your adventures, the new premium Wings Pack DLC offers an array of themed wings to further customize your character.



That’s it for now! We hope you’re as thrilled about this update as we are—whether this is your first journey with Cassette Beasts or you’re a battle-hardened veteran of monster recording!
