Noblesse Oblige v0.13.1.0 "Meetings and Partings" Patreon Release! (Patreon)

Updated to v0.13.1.0 (no longer beta). This includes a lot of minor fixes and some work on old content, notably:

• Ligaea's Rapid Fire renamed to Rapid Volley (in the interests of removing period-incorrect uses of "fire")

• Fixed a few minor castle customization details (new doors customization has been put off until a future update, but will be coming)

• Adjusted the walls and floor in Ariadne's private room

• Improved floor and walls on the airship home from Avalonia, plus a little adjustment to the mapping

• Added silver spears to all Calistrian-style statues of Alivae to match the flavor text

• Fixed two spots in Chapter 4 where the game could become stuck if text was advanced too quickly

• Fixed Nausicaa's Stormlance, which was broken in v0.13.1.0 Beta.

• Changed all in-game music tracks in .mp3 format to .ogg format, which should prevent audio distortions from occurring on some systems.

Get it here!



Since it's been two weeks, I'm opening this post to the knight tier. I opened this up yesterday, but sending a notification now since I forgot then, along with a version that includes a number of typo fixes etc. that I've been doing in advance of public release, 0.13.1.0 Beta.

Notably:

• Setting instant messages and animations from the title screen now works properly and these are saved in the settings file/loaded from your last save like the volume settings.

• Loading an autosave then saving the game will now default to saving in the most recent save slot rather than the autosave slot.

• Fixed Antiochus's autoattacks in the intro, which were broken in prior v0.13 versions

• Many, many typo fixes thanks to Lamsey and Joker/Amaror

• Updated the relationships status page. Let me know if any changes you'd expect are not reflected here.

I'm leaving the old link up as well, just in case there are any bugs. Will update the steam patreon version to 0.13.1.0 after I've done a touch more testing, probably sometime this weekend.

Edit #3: Updated to v0.13.0.8. This addresses an issue where Sir Leonidas's support in early Chapter 11 was not counted properly. If you had this issue, it will also be corrected on the next version transition. 

Get it here!

Edit #2: Updated to v0.13.0.7, mostly minor stuff.

Edit: I've updated the link to v0.13.0.6, which primarily includes a fix for an issue that occurs on the Lorena-only variant of the Alcinian route., plus some typos.

Note: As ever, comments may contain spoilers, so read with care.

So, one thing I hoped to do didn't quite make it into this version, namely the new door options for Castle Kharos. I'll probably add that retroactively in a later update, or just next time. But otherwise, the update is done, and I hope everyone enjoys! Patch notes below. As usual, scroll to the bottom for instructions on how to play on Steam if you prefer that route. I should be around this evening and over the weekend if any issues arise.

Steam Version Info

Steam Beta Key: 5r6t7yufCH12Beta

You can access the steam version by choosing the game in your library -> properties -> betas, and entering that code. An important note, the Steam version of the game is keyed to give the supporter rewards (extra armor colors, Crown Loyalist Pendant, and Crown Loyalist Token) based on the Steam dlc rather than based on it being a supporter version. This isn't a behavior I want to mess with. You'll still have the items if you import a save with them, though.
