Alchemic Cutie News

Hey there Cutie Club,

We small update with some fixes and an update on the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation shipping dates.

Nintendo Switch & PlayStation Shipping Updates

The shipping dates for both platforms slipped a little bit as we had a few bumps in the road going through final platform certification 😅

Switch has been fully certified and has gone to manufacturing and shipping now. We’re hoping for PlayStation to finish certification this week (1 annoying bug has been hard to squash) and it will go straight to manufacturing and shipping.

Update 1.3.2

We skipped 1.3.1 to combined everything into a 1.3.2 update. The update is mainly focused on bug fixes and performance improvements based on completing the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation versions of the game.

Improvements

• A lot of performance improvements!
  
• Hidden Power achievement now just requires a total level of 75
  
• Shiny Shaver now just requires 10,000 crystals
  

Fixes

• Fixed Caught Them All not unlocking through item effects
  
• Fixed wild jellies unlocking the Hidden Power achievement
  
• Fixed Jelly getting stuck transforming when trait decreases relic meter
  
• Fixed hover texture issue on bottom HUD buttons
  
• Fixed JellyQuickInfo not clearing on unfocus
  
• Fixed birds getting stuck while landing

Jelly Codes

Want to share a Jelly with a friend? We’ve introduced Jelly Codes – a 32 character passcode for trading jellies.



Bring your Jelly to Gabby and she can take your Jelly and give you a code in return. If your friend gave you a code, Gabby can take that code and give you a Jelly in return.

Jelly Names

Many players wanted to give different names to Jellies. We’ve now added a hotkey to rename your Jelly.



Permanent Jellies + Jelly Relics

We had a lot of requests from players who wanted to keep some of their Jellies forever. In this update, we’ve changed how the Jelly Relic system works to allow you to decide which Jellies will turn into relics.



Jellies will no longer automatically turn into relics as you feed them items. Instead, when their relic meter is full, the Jellies will sparkle. Playing your flute 3 times on a sparkling Jelly will turn them into a relic.

Jelly Traits

Now that the relic system has changed, we had to change how the trait system worked. Now when a Jelly trait activates, the relic meter will decrease.

We also had to update several traits to match these changes; so make sure to read your notebook.
