RAVENSBURG News

Hi everyone. Apologies for being silent these past days. Blackouts were giving trouble, and while vampires can see in the dark, they can't escape the need for electricity. As compensation, here's a new update:

• The map of RAVENSBURG has been reshaped elegantly. Now you can navigate discovered locations using buttons without the need for a mouse. I know owners of a gamepads/controllers will be happy with this since some of them requested it to me.
  
• New, brand and unique icons has been given to each location. Making them easier to recognize and more flavour flour to the eyes!
  
• New Fast Travel Point added inside Ravenstein Mansion's Chapel. Those that explore the mansion will be recompensated with a more convenient travelling point (if activated!).
  
• Nox skill bug fixed. Now the spell properly absorbs life from enemies when used, and its SP cost has been readjusted accordingly.
  
• Minor dialogue improvement to Lucille's Shop.
  

This follows the previous big Villain Update, which added new quests and companions. Remember to share the game with friends. And who knows, there might be additional CGs soon!

This is a mini-patch for the Villain Update:

• Minor improvements to the ending dialog and cinematic.
  
• New recruitable villain companions now speak in the ending scene.
  

The Villain Update is finally here!
Introducing new companions, quests, locations with puzzles, powerful new bosses, and polished CGs for each new character! This is the big update promised in a previous announcement; and now it's live.

Here’s a spoiler-free breakdown of what’s new:

• New Map: The Labyrinth of Urth. A cursed and sinister maze said to hold a powerful treasure at its heart.
  
• New Map: Apartment 66. What horrors lurk in the foul, shadowed halls of this decaying building?
  
• New Map: The Cloister of St. Basil. This forgotten medieval cloister hides a dangerous secret, guarded by three mysterious statues.
  
• Three Main Villainesses Are Now Recruitable Companions: Cassandra, Cristina, and Foix can now join your party!
  
• Each with her own unique set of abilities
  
• Each with a fully original companion side quest
  
• Each with multiple large, fully illustrated & more detailed CGs
  
• New Missions Focused on Puzzle Solving and Investigation
  
• New Dialogue Reactions when you bring the Villainesses in your Party
  
• Three Powerful New Bosses
  
• New Items Added
  
• Various Minor Improvements and Fixes

This update was designed to be retro-compatible with existing save files for players who’ve already completed the game. It’s aimed at mid-to-high levels. However, some compatibility issues may still occur. If you experience strange behavior, try leaving and re-entering the affected map; it may help. Your patience and understanding are deeply appreciated!

While working on the next Big Content Update for the game, I decided to add this patch now that comes with a myriad of fixes and improvements:

• Madame Claudia's Quest fixed. Now the Quest can be started and finished as intended.
  
• Slight rebalance in difficulty. Late game enemies are now more tough and challenging.
  
• To make things even, new weapons are now available in the Velvet's Rose Pub.
  
• And some new and stronger Clothes and Accessories.
  
• Rebalance for SP cost in most Skills. Many SP amounts are now fair to the Skill's power, while some have been made cheaper. Minor adjustments to some effects were also made.
  
• Improved Skill Selection. Already acquired skills now will appear grey, making it easier to know which ones you already have and which ones you don't.
  
• Fixed Isolde's dialogue options.
  
• Fixed Lady Isabella's dialogue options.
  
• Added Adraste's missing dialogue.
  
• Added Arcain's missing dialogue.
  
• As well as other minor dialogue and sound improvements.
