Slay the Princess — The Pristine Cut News

This was originally going to wait until the Pristine Cut, but since the work is done, figured we might as well patch it in now.

This patch mostly tweaks the intro pacing for a number of Chapter 3 setups that felt a little too repetitive/tedious.

Tweaks were made to:

• Moment of Clarity (the ending is tighter)
  
• Apotheosis (intro trimmed)
  
• Eye of the Needle (skeptic intro trimmed)
  
• Fury (intro trimmed)
  
• Grey (intro trimmed, mostly on Smitten side)
  
• Wraith (intro trimmed, mostly on Spectre side)
  

Just a handful of lines here and there that felt like they didn't really add much in terms of information or humor, but hopefully those chapters are smoother experiences now!

Patch also fixed all remaining instances of the flashing click-to-continue indicator not correctly line-breaking from the text, as well as a couple of other minor bugs.

All corrupted audio files should be fixed as of yesterday's update as well. On to the Pristine Cut!

Cheers,
Tony

Fixed a handful of additional corrupted voice files. Soon we shall be free.

on and on it goes, until your patch notes are not your patch notes are not your game!

thanks for bearing with me on this - want to be as on top of fixing these lil issues as soon as possible when they crop up!

EDIT: I'm gonna stop spamming hotfix notes at this point. If you see a small update over the next day or do (like the one that just went out at 6:28 EST on 12/24), it's fixing another corrupted audio file.

Apologies to anyone who's running into these (fairly rare) issues while I continue to fix them: they're rare enough that I'd rather keep the overall mix of the remastered audio as opposed to rolling back to the version before the remaster.

If the issue meaningfully persists after another couple of days of patches, I'll give the whole thing a fresh pass, but in the meantime, putting out a small fix a couple times a day lets me still enjoy Christmas :)

If you run into any issues, please be sure to report them on the Steam forums or on the relevant bugs channel on our discord.

EDIT 2: All issues w/ Chapter 3 voice glitches should be fixed; still looking for the stragglers in other chapters but all issues should be resolved soon ^^

Fixed another 6 or so corrupted audio files. Thank you for bearing with me while we hunt down the remaining sound issues from the audio re-work. Given the rareness of these issues (appears to be ~1% of voice files, possibly fewer), patching individual files as we go seems like the most effective approach. Bulk re-exporting everything would leave me worried that it wouldn't fix the issue, or that *different* files might have issues.

As mentioned in the previous post, if you run into any outstanding audio issues, please report them on the bugs channel of our discord (discord.gg/blacktabbygames) or on this Steam thread: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1989270/discussions/0/3873717982252461671/?ctp=5

Thank you all so much!
