The Use of Life News

Hello everyone,

Thank you playing The Use of Life!
We have updated the game to Ver0.3.06. Here are the bug fixes and changes.

◆Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where if the Saberworm is Stunned or otherwise unable to perform its next action when underground, it would fail to emerge from the ground, resulting in a stalemate where the player could no longer attack it.
  
• Fixed an issue where the black borders that appear for a dialogue choice remained on the screen after resting in the Morgana Desert.
  
• Fixed an issue in the Bandits' Hideout where a dialogue choice that had no skill requirements prompted a skill check.

Hello everyone,

Thank you playing The Use of Life!
We have updated the game to Ver0.3.05. Here are the bug fixes and changes.

◆Added a new experimental difficulty level

• Added an experimental difficulty level where the timing for a perfect dodge randomly changes slightly every time.
  

◆Added a brief pause before dialogue choices

• Added a brief grace period before dialogue choices are presented. (This change may be reverted depending on player reception)
  

◆Added the ability to change weapons mid-battle

• Added the ability to swap the equipped weapon mid-battle from the Tech menu.
  
• Equip a sub-weapon from the menu to swap between the main weapon during battle.
  

（Players loading an existing save file will find that they have the Blunt Sword equipped. This is totally intentional and definitely not a side-effect of the update）

◆Strengthened the Saberworm

• The Saberworm now has unique Skills and boosted stats.
