Heartless & Dreadful : Return By 72 Hours News

Quick fix + Note to Linux users

Are you a Linux user and the game doesn't launch for you for some reason?

That's weird and I am sorry about that. If you can and have some time please provide me the crash log, your distro, and version so I can properly investigate it. This issue has been seemingly going for a while and is seemingly random, as the next time it may launch just fine.

I am unable to reproduce it on my own hardware. So every tiny bit of information will be very helpful, thank you.

The log should likely be located in ~/.config/unity3d/K/KyoshinOFHeart on your drive on Linux, thanks in advance.

You can send it to me either via email ([email protected]) , or discord in the bug report channel.

Quick fix notes:

- General - Fixed an issue where some of the weapon effects wouldn't stop when they should, i.e entering dialogue, getting onto pulley, using the jump pads.
- General - Training - Fixed an issue where some of the bosses would behave weirdly, i.e not attacking or trying to attack too quickly.

In addition, when you fight Malice the invisible walls of the arena in training/practice should now be disabled to behave closer to how it would during the main campaign.

Patch v1.080 (Main)

Adding knight's stuff into the movelist. It's a bit annoying how it works, but my own fault for not considering future updates lol.

General - "Shielded" Enemies no longer bleed when damaged.
General - Training - Currency no longer spawns in the training mode on enemy's death.
General - Training - Bosses now can be spawned in the training mode.
General - Training - Other enemies can now be spawned in the training mode at the same time via different spawners. (This was in previous quick fix, but thought I may mention it here as well, just in case.)
General - Training - You now have an option to pick what "difficulty" will the enemy spawn on, this should allow you to practice against specific enemies on specific difficulties.
General - UI Style can now be picked from the extras menu in the game's options. This however will require a level restart in order to apply.
General - Compressed many videos in order to save some disc space.

Known issues - In divergence mode, if sinner gets unlocked, the extra playable characters are currently experiencing a bug where they behave slightly incorrectly. This is being taken a look into. It doesn't hard lock the game or anything, but it'll be fixed next patch.

As for others, none. Feel free to check trello for bug tracking and requests.

Patch v1.079 (Main)

Small update. Most of the focus is on the playable knight. Too bad.

Why is he at freddy fazbears? is he stupid?
Jokes aside, I am cooking. Slowly.
Knight only has like 20 skills he can use so far. But he's already quite fun to play.

General - Added a small input buffer to melee attacks. This reduces the cases where the game could possibly "eat" some inputs for combo moves.
General - Fixed another possible chance to cause the gravity speed up applying to character movement speed.
General - Fixed minor animation state issues, causing mid-air aiming animations to be a bit wonky.
General - Improved the behavior of floatiness slider.
General - Updated a few packages to be up to date. (Won't be noticable for most.)

Quick Fix Update -
- Truly fixed the gravity speed issue applying to character movement speed on the ground for real now. That should be it.
- Added enemy spawners to the training, meaning you can now have whatever combination of enemies you want there.

Patch v1.078 (Main)


- Apparently workshop tools disappeared on Windows so now they are back. (No clue how that happened, but oh well.)
- Boss Knight - Added a tiny bit of wind up to some animations where it was hard to tell that he was about to attack.
- Boss Knight - Ported over some animations from the playable version onto the boss version, I thought since I was adding some wind up, might as well move some of these over.
- All bosses - Adjusted Jump Cancel radius to be a bit more forgiving/consistent.
- Camera - Now a bit more cinematic, adjusts FOV dynamically based on the current combat scenario.
- Fixed an incorrect animation playing out during aiming.
- General - Fixed an issue where the Camera would collide with one specific enemy.
- Minor changes that are not worth mentioning.
- Reflected/Parried projectiles now aim better at their caster.
- Shotgun - Combo A - now can be cancelled, but only via jump cancel. Allowing you to repeat the first move of the combo repeatedly as long as you jump cancel it at the right time.
- Sniper enemies now have an additional sound to indicate that they are about to shoot.
- Quee - Turbo launcher now has a hit-stop effect. It just feels cool. That's all.

Patch v1.077 (Main)

More moves and more things? Crazy...

- Claws - Toxicity - No longer multiplies the velocity from other attacks, thus reducing the awkwardness in mid-air combos caused by claws.
- Claws - Toxicity - Also fixed an issue that caused the gamepad shaking to be overriden into not playing when toxic element was applied to enemies.
- General - Easy Mode's missions are now always synchronized with whatever last mission you had completed.
(This is not a retroactive change. So you may want to complete a level again in order for this to work. For example, you can beat level 11 on Normal in order to unlock Mission 12 on both Easy and Normal. And so on.)
- General - Fixed Huntress's TOB accidentally re-loading into Shamir's TOB when clicking "Restart from checkpoint" after dying.
- General - Fixed a rare case where the wrong shooting animation would play out.
- General - Fixed an issue where the gravity multiplier would stick after landing on rail with it and not manually getting off the rail, that caused the character to get insanely fast until an animation reset is performed.
- General - Fixed an issue where the music wouldn't be properly set up in Divergence Mode.
- General - Fixed missing translations for the Shotgun moves in the upgrades menu.
- General - Previously undocumented as I forgot about it, Fixed the gamepad cursor not properly selecting a difficulty in the menu when returning to the menu from any of the missions.
- Recovery Mechanic - Added a slow motion sound, since it was missing.
- Reduced the animation delay for the jumping animation by a tiny bit.
- Shamir - Quee - Acid Breath - Updated visual effects
- Shamir - Quee - Boomerang - Change the input in order to be pulled off easier than before, you now just have to hold the attack button when not locked on in order for it to work. This makes it easier to use in combat, and overall just nicer to pull off mid-combos.
- Shamir - Quee - Boomerang - Now can also be used mid-air.
- Shamir - Quee - Drillthrough - Added additional text to mention that this move is affected by CT, and provided a video demonstration in the upgrades menu for that.
- Shamir - Shotgun - 2 new moves have been added (Combo A and Gun-Fu). You can unlock them in the Upgrades menu.

Combination of moves in question:


Note:
- Uhh... More work on playable Enerith/Knight. Just... a bit different this time. No dataminerinoz.
- This update disables some* Boss voice lines until further notice. There's many reasons behind this, but it's also because I do want to give Enerith a proper voice actor that isn't my own modified voice, with him becoming playable especially, he could use some more voice work. I am investigating possibilities right now.
