Patch 0.8.3

- -

ADDITIONS

-Made navigating the Vespa relationship content a little easier and more forgiving.

 -Added a quest to help players remember how to get Vespa hitched with Claire or Leslie. The quest begins when the player returns to Del Nyan with Vespa and ends after the Windrush Canyon date.

  -This quest won't show up on old saves.

 -Vespa can now return to the Cat's Cradle to ask Leslie out after their initial encounter if she didn't ask the first time and was rejected/shut down by Claire.

  -Vespa can also now ask Leslie out if she was previously dating Claire but got dumped (via Lupita.) This will only work on playthroughs where Vespa wasn't dumped prior to this patch.

-Added a bit of dialogue for when the player enters the Jolly Jib with Abby in the party prior to recruiting Elmira. This should hopefully encourage more players to talk to Elmira and start the Iambic Calamity quest.

-Added a relic hunter NPC to the Kalvarr Library who will appear after the player has donated 5 or more relics. The relic hunter will give hints on where to find each relic as the player donates more of them.

-Added an NPC to the Kalvarr Library who will trade the player the Hell Spices relic for 2000g if they missed it during the Rigourfall Castle segment.

TWEAKS

-Added a bunch of dialogue bits and easter eggs during the first Upper Grok segment in the opening to better establish some of the characters and their various personality quirks.

-Updated some of the dialogue in the Church of Vexus scene so that its pacing and character moments are a little more impactful. 

-Updated a few early conversations with Elmira during and after the Iambic Calamity quest, as well as Claire's initial conversation with her in the Tent. These interactions now emphasize her ability (and desire) to fatten people using her adipomancy.

-Updated the dialogue between Claire and Vespa during the scene with Leslie in the Cat's Cradle. Also added gentle reminders to the end of the scene based on which choice the player made.

-Nell now tosses the random pigman she's fighting when you approach her in Khur if Lani decided not to run ahead.

-Updated the in-battle events when Maddie eats a party member with some of the new sfx.

-Made a couple of tiny visual adjustments to Westhaven and the events within.

-The spot in Spire's Furnace where the magic fires can be scattered for the 'Fires for the Forge' quest now sparkles while that quest is active to make it easier to spot.

-Added a few little effects to the dialogue with Charon in Charhand Mine (if the player sides with Caldryn) and to the meeting with Skaramok in the Fire Temple.

-Esther now drops a hint on where to find Will 'o Wisps if you return to her with a less-than-full jar after accepting the 'Ectoplasm and Chill' quest.

-You can now hand out Anya Fan Club flyers in the Capital Bakery (though don't expect to find many takers there.)

-Very slightly increased Cedric's base DEF/MDF and DEF/MDF gain (this won't affect older playthroughs.)

-Fixed up Elarel's sprite so that it now no longer glitches while moving.

BUGFIXES

-Fixed a bug where entering the Sand Swamp for the first time from the right side would softlock the game.

-Fixed a bug where handing over Nemset's Shipment to Fang would crash the game (the script which was meant to fail the quest wasn't implemented properly. The quest can now be failed successfully!)

-Fixed a bug where failing to solve the Westhaven murder mystery by the end of the second day would crash the game (same error as the previous bug.)

-Fixed being able to walk on Amber's couch at her place (this was causing softlocks due to the player being out of position when interacting with her.)

-The party will no longer be standing on the side of the cliff after the first time Cross uses his Whirlwind skill during the Upper Grok segment.

-Fixed some early quests not displaying a message and playing the 'quest accepted' jingle when accepted.

-Fixed some visual bugs in Del Nyan where Leslie and related characters would show up in places they shouldn't after the third Iron Gut contest and/or immediately after the double date event.

-Removed a bugged event on the gold bars in the Mayor's Office which would mess up the quest log if interacted with.

 -Also removed Abby from atop the Mayor's desk following the initial meeting with him (if that meeting is in his office and not the casino.)

-Fixed a bug in Renee's Cafe where exploring as Cedric would slow down the game drastically.

-Leslie no longer wanders around her house following the double date and 'Nyatonement' quest (this should prevent her from getting stuck in walls and such after being fed by Vespa.)

-Fixed a bug where Nell's dialogue would appear during the glutton stripling fight in the Sand Swamp even if the player chose Lani earlier.

-Fixed a bug where Lani would learn how to use a quarterstaff aboard the Grinning Demon even if the player denied her request to learn earlier in the game.

-Fixed a visual bug in Bablo's Dojo where multiple Nell sprites would appear during the initial cutscene if she was fat.

 -Fixed a related bug where Nell wouldn't appear fat immediately following the initial cutscene.

-Fixed a minor visual bug in Bablo's Dojo where Lani's speech bubbles would appear in the wrong place when turning in the Snake Oil for the 'Delivery for the Mailman' quest.

-Fixed all instances where Bartholemew's name was incorrectly spelled 'Bartholomew'.

-Fixed a bug during the Elder Core Worm bossfight where the Elder Worm would use Shed Skin twice in a row rather than just once if the Larval Core Worm was present.

-The 'Offering to the Goddess' quest now properly displays its first objective (to retrieve the gift from the Old Nyaren Clubhouse) when accepted.

 -Changed the sprite for the gift to a proper gift box as is described by Judy when accepting the quest.

-Several other quests that weren't displaying their objectives upon acceptance now do so.

-Fixed a bunch of minor bugs in the Pandara Wing.

 -The flames on the torches in the Wing no longer stand still.

 -Fixed some visual effects for the lava falls being in the wrong places.

 -The new sound and visual effects during the cutscene with Pandara will now properly play regardless of which direction the player approaches the lava pit from.

-Fixed a bug where interacting with the hookshot event in the Dune Forest while facing left would send the player flying into the trees.

-Fixed a visual bug in Blackhand Cove where Nell and Evelyn's weight gain/alternate outfits wouldn't show up properly.

-Fixed a minor bug where retrieving the book 'Earth and Fire' from Cross' room in Skycastle would complete an objective from the wrong quest.

-Fixed being able to skip over the '75 approval or more' relationship content with Ashley in the Tent if you get to 90 or more approval before reentering the Tent.

-Fixed a couple of bugs with the 'Penitence Pals' quest. Leaving the lake early and saying you're done no longer loops the same choice until you select the other option, and Lani no longer appears as Nell in the Public House if you fattened Nell in Khur.

-Fixed a minor visual bug with the tent where returning to it from either the Elmira/Ashley cutscene, the 'Penitence Pals' quest, or the cutscene with Claire, Abby, and Vespa would cause Lani to appear skinny and Evelyn to possibly be wearing the wrong outfit.

-Fixed a bug where using the new travel gem to get to the Ironroot Castle Throne Room wouldn't reload the flea market inventories.

-Fixed Abby sometimes being invisible when having her fortune told at the circus.
