Hiii y'all! I've made a lot of little changes that have ripple effects, so I released a new build :) 

A lot of the work I've been doing recently has been for the game's upcoming story mode, so there aren't many large changes to the battle system, but I have updated many sounds and visual effects for things, and fixed some bugs/issues, as well as some tiny changes to certain characters. [Keep reading for the full patch notes] [Patch notes are in numpad notation]

Speaking of story mode, I have around 9 chapters to finish coding and drawing for! So close! I have also been working on the game's final (secret) character and putting the finishing touches on the other 3 new characters as well. In the coming weeks, I will have a small announcement to make regarding the story mode update, so stay tuned to my social medias :) 

Here are some screenshots from story mode:

And here are the full patch notes for version 0.93.0.0

[New Features]

-Added a way to view the arcade leaderboard from the Extras menu.

-Updated the application's Icon.

-Added an option to turn damage numbers off.

-Added an option to decrease screenshake.

-Added an option to make the training mode dummy do superjumps/shorthops/homingjumps, under the "stance" setting.

[Bug Fixes]

-Fixed a graphical bug that caused the meter number graphic to sometimes be stuck at 3 even when you have 4 bars of meter.

-Fixed a bug that caused Setsuna's ultra (214D) to play a sound that was louder than normal in some cases.

-Fixed a bug that caused health to sometimes rapidly flicker between two values in training mode, when the setting for health was set to 30%

-Fixed an issue where the frame advantage displayed when data display is on in training mode for some attacks was incorrect if the move had shortened or extended recovery. (not fixed for every move yet)

-Fixed an issue where Crow's shock state wouldn't apply in future rounds, if it was still active when transitioning between rounds.

-Fixed an issue that caused clashes to happen when they shouldn't.

-Fixed an issue that prevented instant-blocks from happening, if a second one was input within a few frames of the first.

-Fixed an issue where the round and difficulty settings wouldn't return to what they should be if you quit from the pause menu during survival mode.

-Fixed a bug that caused [2]8x (down to up) charge attacks to not come out if you input the button press during the single frame where there is a transition between the jump startup state and the jump state.

-Fixed a rare issue with combo trials, where attacks that can be preformed in both the air and on the ground, and don't cancel their animations upon landing, wouldn't advance the trial if you landed before hitting the opponent.

-Fixed an issue with Rain's 63214x projectiles, where they wouldn't stop moving while the game was paused.
