- Version 1.1: Grid-free movement - 4 October 2021
It's been a while, but Alvora Tactics finally gets the 'grid-free movement' treatment! Like Voidspire Tactics, Alvora had its movement locked to the grid - but now I've brought over the movement system from Horizon's Gate that makes walking much smoother. 1.1.02 Greatly improved player movement system so that it is no longer locked to the grid Fixed some secondary effects of certain status effects (such as Itchy) not being applied correctly. Increased 'Meditative' and 'Defensive' passives' bonus from +2 -> +3 defense Scholar's 'Elementary' passive now only makes positive elemental statuses last +50% longer Fixed Corpryst Hammer not being craftable

- Version 1.0.7 Patch Notes - 17 October 2017
Time for a big patch! This one has so many changes I had to split it up into sections. The biggest changes are the new pathing indicator (never get surprised by walking into fire again!) and new journal entries with details for each status effect. 1.0.7 VISUAL Added indicators of what path you'll take during movement Facing arrows now highlight on mouseover Reorganized Skill stats on the character stats window Added journal entries for status effects Added slight pulse effect on selecting a tile for attacking or moving Damage numbers are bigger and flashier when dealing high damage Added extra shake to 'getting hit' animation Zyla now have visible shoulder spines Newly encountered Aphest, Crub, Wilderi, and Vinemen now have unique arm sprites that show under their class gear.

- Version 1.0.6 Patch Notes - 21 September 2017
Another patch with lots of visual and controller improvements! Also a handful of balance changes - most prominently, getting KO'd a bunch in one fight is no longer so punishing. 1.0.6 Characters now only lose Max HP the first time they are KO'd in battle, instead of every time Fixed shop tooltips getting stuck in the top left corner of the screen Trying to buy an item while your inventory is full will now notify you instead of dumping it beneath you where you can't see it Shellworm now has more HP and is immune to Poison, Burn, and Decay Sage's 'Revive' now heals more HP baseline, and scales less severely with stats and ranks Increased Breaker's 'Break Armor' accuracy by 5% Warrior's 'Counter' now deals 90% damage. Improved animation of Brawler's 'Hurricane Kick' Improved animation of Warrior's 'Shove' and Guardian's 'Hold the Line' Splitworms now only spawn against parties above a cert…

- Version 1.0.5 Patch Notes - 7 September 2017
New patch! This time lots of bugfixes, some minor visual improvements, and additional refinement of controller support. 1.0.5 Critical Destroy no longer triggers on death Screen now goes to 2x scale at resolution width of 960 instead of at 900 Fixed bug where having Keyboard Control enabled would prevent text input fields from working Improved navigation around corners and 1-tile-wide tunnels Fixed camera positioning bug.

- Version 1.0.4 Patch Notes - 21 June 2017
More bugfixes, and a big change this time - controller support! This has taken me a while to put together, and it's not 100% complete. There are some minor issues, listed after the patch notes, but I wanted to get it out there and get some testing done on it. Let me know how it works for you! 1.0.4 Added 'BETA' controller support! It's a little rough around the edges, but you should be able to play the entire game with just a controller now. Feedback and bug reports welcome! Added "Keyboard Control" option. When enabled, uses keyboard-specific methods of control so you can theoretically play the entire game with only the keyboard. Modified default keybinds to remove some awkward overlap (Ex: Space as both Confirm and End Turn) Improved keyboard tile selection (can now reach any tile with WASD) The AoE & icon of upcoming actions now show on the battlefield while selecting movement Fixed…

- Version 1.0.3 Patch Notes - 7 June 2017
Time for the first post-Steam patch! An important save bug was fixed in this one. People with corrupted saves should now be able to load those saves. 1.0.3 Fixed crashes / save corruption caused by certain items in the town stash Fixed Krask journal entry not showing when looked at Prayer has higher base MP recovery but greatly reduced Skill & Magic Attack scaling Life Mirror now only reflects HALF your Life skill Critical passives (such as Critical Recovery, Critical Preserve, etc.) no longer happen when the user is unable to act (Stunned, Disabled, etc.) Gemhides can no longer flee while Silenced Burning Wave range reduced by 1 Amnitorsk is more protective of its gem Gate: Onslaught now deals 80% weapon damage instead of 100% Zoar Bats that fade out can no longer take your party members with them if you happen to be walking through them at that exact moment
