I'm happy to officially announce that the release date for Crystal Project will be on March 31st, 2022. I'm looking forward to everyone's adventures!
[h2]A Note for Demo Cloud Saves[/h2]
If you have previously played the Crystal Project Demo and wish to continue your save file into the full version, but you have also recently cleaned up your hard drive and may have deleted the save data, please make sure to run the demo once to sync your save data before the release date. I'm not completely confident in how steam cloud saves behave when you upgrade a demo to a full version since I believe you lose access to a game's demo after purchasing it. Everything may work perfectly fine, but just to be on the safe side, I would suggest making sure the save data is still on disk before upgrading.
[h2]What Has Changed Since the Demo Version[/h2]
A lot has changed since the demo version was last updated, and some changes may be disorienting when continuing your save data if you're not expecting them. There are too many changes to list explicitly, but in general, you can expect the following:
- Lots of equipment re-balancing.
- Changes to abilities.
- Changes to passive abilities.
- Some abilities have changed their positions in skill trees and some abilities are on different classes altogether. Any such ability previously learned will stay learned.
- One class got completely reworked. Any LP previously spent on this class will be fully refunded to be spent again as desired.
- Stance changing no longer uses a turn.
- Consumable costs were re-balanced.
And lots of other small things. I will release an updated demo with most of the full version's changes some time in March before the full game's release.
