Swordy Quest: An RPG Adventure 12+

PATCH GOAL: This patch fixes the 1% chance of hit success. This issue impacted very few players, but it was such a big impact on them, was keen to get it fixed asap.

Release 5.8:

RELEASE GOAL: Following Blind Abilities YouTube discussion on the Fighting page & Swordy Questers' suggestions, this release has focussed on adding new & varied weapons to hopefully make fights far more dynamic, while still work seamlessly with auto-fight. Love the way the community continues to shape this game. You are all so inspirational with your ideas & feedback!

FEATURES:
- Added different melee weapon options to be used during fights.
- Added full set of Battle Hammers (Wood, Stone, Metal, Gold & Obsidian)
- Added full set of Weapon Staff (Wood, Stone, Metal, Gold & Obsidian)
- 2 brand new fan fiction added to the University Library.
- Added additional superfoods throughout the year for special annual events.
- Added an Easter Day event ready for 2022.

ACCESSIBILITY:
- Added shake option to progress fights.
- Completely overhauled the Gather Screen VoiceOver interactions to make moving your finger around the screen far easier for navigating.
- Updated battle snack button to say 'Use' rather than 'Consume' as requested by various VoiceOver players.

GAME BALANCE:
- Crossbreeds made 4 times more common in the Grassland, Snow, Desert & Lava Biomes, once enough Mongrels have been defeated. Full details in the Village Hints.
- Increased resources required for late mid-game items, now that gathering is more stable.
- Re-arranged item unlock levels, including making sure all weapon types of each tier unlocked at same time to give the player more choice of character development.
- Tweaked the 3 weapon classes so the Hammer wasn't quite so over-powered (OP) compared with other weapons.
- Added damage fluctuation on End Game Creatures & depending upon the type of Weapon selected.
- Added new Hammer and Staff Weaponry to the Gem Shop Battle Packs.
- Dragons are intelligent and have learnt that spawning right next to a Dragon Slayer is no longer a sensible thing to do.
- Increase food counts dropped by Dragons and Demon Sharks to make up for lower-level foods being removed from loot (to improve performance).
- Increased coins dropped by dragons and Newdeath Demon Sharks following Raul's very amusing Poll in the Group chat.
- Updated Pumpkins and other superfoods to give 20% of their previous gain, but you now gather 5 times as many as you used to. This means eating 5 at a time now makes sense and avoids you wasting lots of them when your health is already full.

USER INTERFACE:
- Rotated certain weaponry so all hits now show weapons directed towards the enemy.
- Removed low-level foods as loot from Dragons since the screen was not dealing well with so much loot being displayed.

USABILITY:
- Most recently equipped Weapon is now remembered ready for next battle.
- Renamed natural enemies to their respective map names to reduce confusion as to their location.
- Added neutral sound when new weapon equipped to help sighted players not using VoiceOver.
- Further performance improvements were made to the Gathering screen to make it flow smoother.

SOUNDS:
- Added different sound effects when hitting enemy, depending upon the Weapon Type used.
- Reduced sounds of certain fishing noises that were quite high volumes compared with other sounds.

GENERAL:
- Improved performance of gathering page to help make the page run more smoothly.

BUG FIXES:
- Fixed bug where Easter Eggs were being given out instead of Halloween Pumpkins.
- Fixed bug, where players would be told to craft items above to unlock them. This is out of date advice.
- Fixed bug where a dragon would delay its attack sometimes.
- Fixed bug where positive sound no longer played when an area was fully gathered.
- Fixed bug where release notes would appear when new players first started playing the game.
- Fixed bug where VoiceOver wouldn't always announce details of a new battle.
