Team SARA: a RWBY side-story
5 years ago

v1.7.6 - It's been how long?

Too long for how little I changed for sure...

Gonna delete ~20 maps when this version goes live (having trouble with "processing" phase), if you're saved on 1 of those when the next version comes...strange things may happen.


Bugs:

-Yin's bike being unequipped and removed from inventory when starting a New Game+.

-The equipment blurb at startup actually made no sense when you really read it (oh, the things I find when I'm recording myself...).

-Extra "," during one of Audry's text boxes in the "You Can't Say That, Can You?" segment...supposed to be a "\." (wait 1/4 of a second), but it was a "\," which I guess just displays the ",".

-Missing "," at start of Rachel's dream...Sarah calls her "sweetie", which needs to be separated from the rest of the sentence by a "," and wasn't (seriously...why do I only spot this stuff while taking video?).

-Boss of Rachel's dream requiring you to hit the action button...technically not an issue, but it flows better if it activates when you run into it like all the other events in the dream.

-Cutting a path events (sparkle on ground) now also tagged "Player Touch" instead of "Action Button" (again, just flows better).

-"Warthog - " removed from the warthogs' names...not really a bug, just unnecessary (names were too long and didn't fit in the allotted space on the menu).

-Because Roxanne can possibly finish the battle before the 3rd turn ends (even on a 1st play through)...Qrow will now show up at the end of turn 2 during Ruby's dream in the "Honor Among Thieves" story variant (this wouldn't actually hurt anything, but would be weird).

Models:

-The drones in Team WILD's 2nd session have new models (darker + multicolor lights).

New Skill:

-Dragon Kick: 50 energy, 2 hits at 500 modifier, "Physical" element.

--Attached to Sarah's "Mindfreaker" semblance (and the +1), Olivia and Jade's "Chaotic Style" enhancer, and a Semblance3 slot thing that just gives the skill (i.e. the same way Amy and Ashley get their "Hyper" skills).

--Indra learns it after Team WILD's 2nd training session...not "during", "after" (added to check event).

--Null learns it almost immediately after she meets Olivia (which is after the last time you'll get to use her in 4 out of 6 story lines).

Map Trimming:

-"Honor Among Thieves" variant of Team SARA at the forest temple no longer has/needs its own map (event page added to normal version, transfers unified...which actually cleans them up quite a bit).

--As it was not possible to save on this map, it has been deleted.

-It is no longer possible to re-enter the forest temple after the event has been seen (applies to both Team SARA and CLEN, please move any old saves made there elsewhere...maps not deleted yet).

-Team CLEN's Emerald Forest events copied to Team SARA's maps by adding an actor requirement to both teams' events (Sarah and Candi, respectively).

--This will eliminate all of Team CLEN's maps, so please progress any saves made with Team CLEN to a Team SARA map or out of the forest completely (exception: CLEN's Landing, great name).

-Team CLEN's return to the cliff has been merged with Team SARA's "Honor Among Thieves" version.

--As it was not possible to save on this map, it has been deleted.

-Team CLEN now uses the same maps as Team SARA when revisiting the Emerald Forest (6 maps waiting for deletion...please proceed through the event if you're saved on it).

--Team CLEN's events at the western teleporters have been reduced from 3 maps to 1.

-Sarah's Combat Schooling reduced from 6 maps to 1 (5 maps ready to be deleted...finish it if you're saved there).

-Roxanne's Combat Schooling ("Honor Among Thieves") reduced from 4 maps to 1 (3 awaiting deletion).

Dev Contact:

-Put an event on the startup map and next to the Inn in the endgame town with my email...in case anybody has something to say that they don't want everybody in the world to see...or whatever other reason there might be for it.

Plans for next version:

-Fix any bugs/typos I notice (or anyone spots and alerts me to).

-An Audry scene in the middle of Volume 3 (fairly quick, 1-map scene elaborating on her relationship with Glynda).

-Start on Team SPAZ's "vacation" during Volume 4 (gonna take a good 20 maps total).

--Main computer failure is going to make this difficult to do on a slower PC without photoshop...at least 5 new characters (more like 10) appear during these events...Amethyst's mother (who's gonna say her age and "don't do the math"), 1 or 2 of her sisters (she has 10 siblings), another dog faunus for Sapphire to chase squirrels with, an old friend of Pearl's...and the Team POOR business I wanna include is only gonna make it worse...
