Definitive Edition!

Share this post:

Didn't think I'd be doing this, but the Definitive Edition of Stuck in the Liminal is now available for download! Not only does this version make some hotly requested changes, but it'll also be going to Feedback Quest 4 for a second round of feedback and even more pairs of eyes!

HOT REQUESTS:

Battles now have a color matchup chart built into the UI!
Introspect now learns Absorb at level 2, meaning you can deal Blue damage as Reid!
You can now change your Aspect and act in the same turn!

OTHER CHANGES:

Added Hard Mode! Can you make it through the Liminal without auto healing?
Party members learn attacks to counter their weaknesses later in!
Added color icons that float above enemies. Cores even have their own!
Buffed Alex's attack.
Redesigned Technicolor Slime fight to match new Aspect changing system.
Souls now take 25% damage from White attacks instead of 100%.
Increased Red Guardian HP.
Various dialogue changes.
Fixed sound timing when pushing boulders.
Changed font for remaining turns on states.
Save windows between cutscenes now have a transparent background.

BUG FIXES:

Weak/Resist pop-ups now display properly.
New skills show up in their own window when leveling up.
Energy now lowers attack instead of defense. Yes, this somehow made it into the jam version.
Removed camouflage and party switching while swimming, which would lead to potential softlocks.
Interacting with objects as Reid automatically turns off camouflage before switching party members.
Deep Breath now costs 2 MP instead of 0.
Fixed incorrect Magic Water description.
Final boss can no longer miss attacks.
Fixed background color variable for final battle.
First doors in yellow room could be bypassed.
Tile fix on blue floor in outside map.
Spoiler event now appears correctly when loading from before the final battle.

It's been a while since the last Beyond the Liminal, but I've decided this is also a good time to finally drop the postmortem I've had written for weeks. Expect it tomorrow!
