XPHF version is out!


XPHF stands for Experience Hotfix, and this version is a patch for Yuuka's Defense for Sunflowers game jam release. Despite of the version name, the actual file and product version is 1.0.1.0 due to the given patches.

This update includes the following:

  • Fixed gameplay
    • Pauses immediately in-game when game is over
    • Forms chibi and dekai are now relevant with their uses in respect to the minor updates in level design
    • Decreased gained random time; now ranges from 0 to 2 seconds (versus the previous, constant 5 seconds)
    • Decreased knockback power (when taking damage from Japanese goblins)
    • Decreased BGM and SFX volume
  • Fixed records
    • Fixed Total time recording
    • Total time is now changed to Total time accumulated
    • Added Time left
    • Added Total goblins killed
    • Records reset in new game
  • Fixed spirit orb collection bug
    • Exploit for spamming the time gained by entering the orb rapidly was removed
  • Optimization
    • Only toggle the properties of existing nodes, and only if necessary, i.e., entering and exiting the visible screen
    • Render the objects only when they are on screen
  • Added mouse cursor
  • Updated Yuuka's portrait
  • Updated start screen
    • Added author's name and year of development
    • Added game release' version
  • Updated pause screen
    • Added credits to ZUN (only credited him on itch page, not inside the game back then)
    • Added credits to request with their Rin's theme (same issue as above)
    • Added credits to myself
    • Removed outlines for visibility
    • Changed layout
    • Toggles a dark, opaque panel that fills the screen

This patch prioritizes the concerns and suggestions from the feedback I received in the game jam release, altogether with the goal of maintaining the same game mechanics that were present in that version. As such, the original game mechanics I had in mind, which I have not applied for the game jam version, does not apply here also. Overall, hopefully this patch is satisfactory in terms of the provided feedback (not all of them of course) and lives up to its version Experience Hotfix.

If you're facing issues, or have any suggestions and concerns, you may contact me at @deanharoldpabad. You can also let me know via the comment section.
