Patch 2.0 release on Steam: 16/04/2019

Further additions and adjustments, bug fixes to the Steam are also covered under "Patch 2.0.5 Notes", after the initial release of Patch 2.0.

Itch.io and rpgmaker.net release of Patch 2.0 + 2.0.5: 17/03/2020

* The addition of the cutscene skip feature has added a near-permanent minor bug in the game. For details, view: https://steamcommunity.com/app/761280/discussions/0/1680315447984357510/
At the moment, I cannot fix this as I am focused on developing Fabrication in my spare time. For updates on that, view the blog link below. The fix is easy, but the mistake is repeated over 629 pages of event code. The bug is not fatal. You will only encounter this bug if you take advantage of it. It is not much of a harm to your gameplay experience. 

Patch 2.0 brings huge changes to White Pearl's game balance, and adds new features to the game, making it an easier and better experience for new players with greater depth. Please enjoy the accessibility of the game with these changes.

Gameplay System Changes

Crafting

New: Reinforcing Shields and Bucklers

A new system has been added to crafting: reinforcement of shields and bucklers.

The system is available once crafting is unlocked.

What does reinforcing my shields mean?

By reinforcing shields and bucklers, you increase their main parameters. However, you are also able to add additional effects to them using  Aura Essence.

Walkthrough: Reinforcement of Shields and Bucklers

Interact with the designated NPC to access the new system:

You will have the option to choose either shields or bucklers. For this tutorial, I chose shields.

Choose the shield you wish to infuse. For this tutorial, I chose to infuse an Iron Shield. Which shield you choose to infuse Aura with, will matter - as different shields will be made regardless of what Aura you choose to infuse an Iron-Laced Leather Shield with, for example.

* In the event that more shields and bucklers are added in White Pearl that are not obtainable with this new system, the list you see in the screen-shot will be updated in-game - but not on the patch notes.

For the final step, you choose what to infuse the selected shield with - being either Fire or Ice Aura Essence. You can also obtain Fire and Ice Aura Essence using the new trading system which is described later on in these patch notes.

A final confirmation will be given to you before you decide to craft the new shield. Mix and match various combinations to create new types of shields and bucklers!

It is important to note that it will cost Gold to use this system.

* In the event that the cost is increased for this new system, the information you see in the screen-shot will be updated in-game - but not on the patch notes.

* Many new shields and bucklers will be added with this new system.  Details on these and how to obtain is included in the patch notes. Please use the search function (Ctrl+F, "new shields have been added" or "new bucklers have been added") to find the information.

Trading

New: Trading Aura Essence

A new system has been added to trading: exchanging certain Aura Essence for Aura Essence - Fire and Ice.

The system is available once crafting is unlocked, and is intended for use in conjunction with the newly added crafting feature.

* The potion master does not have to be unlocked for this system to be available.

Note: With the addition of the Harvest Festival as of Patch 1.0.8 on Steam, you are able to buy/sell Aura Essence with the Item Shop cashier. 

* The Harvest Festival is unlocked once Chapter 11 begins. You will be notified when this event is underway in-game.

In the event you would like to sell Aura Essence, or buy Aura Essence, you may do so through that NPC. However, with the addition of this new trading system, changes have been made to the shop inventory of that cashier. These changes are detailed on "Other Changes", under "Existing Events". 

Walkthrough: Trading Aura Essence

Interact with the designated NPC to access the new system:

While undertaking the tutorial, you will be notified to consult the official guide for Aura Essence drop rates:

Because the guide will be updated as of release of Patch 2.0, please be sure to download it when it is available in order to make full use of this system as well as all other changes in 2.0.

Begin by selecting the option to begin the trade.

Like potion trading, the trading of Aura Essence will carry out in similar manner. 

Because this system is intended for use in conjunction with the new crafting system extension,  the option to obtain only "Aura Essence - Fire" and "Aura Essence - Ice" will be available.

Then choose the Aura Essence that you would like to offer in return for either "Aura Essence - Fire" or "Aura Essence - Ice".

Then complete the trade.

Equipment

* For this new change, code has been written by Hime. (http://himeworks.com)

• The claw weapon, Holy Claws, is now granted as an additional reward.

Other Changes

Patch 2.0 - Part 2 Notes

---

Patch 2.0 Part 2 of White Pearl will be released sometime after the next game, Fabrication. The following is a list of planned features. None of the content is developed and is wholly tentative. Some content may be cut or subject to cancellation.

UPDATE at 27/10/2020: Since development of Fabrication is soon to reach a conclusion, I will be cancelling the content planned for Patch 2.0 Part 2 - this includes the following features:

- New scenario: "The Tale of Rebirth"

- Save file compatibility with Fabrication

These features have been cancelled, because I am focusing my efforts on Fabrication.

Patch 2.0 - Part 2 Planned Features (for developer reference only):

- New scenario: "The Tale of Rebirth", will be added, based on the official story written by Harry Gill. The official story will be released on the Chronicle Edition DLC on the Patch 2.0 Part 2 update. This story will not contain any important information integral to the story of White Pearl, but will instead act as a "book-end" for a certain character.

• This scenario will be available from the main ending area menu. Please ensure you have a save file in this area.

- New movie: "After the Journey", will be added. This movie is the YouTube video uploaded by Harry Gill in celebration of White Pearl reaching over 20,000 downloads across all distributed platforms. (PC Windows Only, available on Steam, rpgmaker [dot] net and Itch [dot] io. The downloads of the discontinued release on GameJolt is also included). 

As of 10/10/2019, this movie has been implemented within the game.

• This movie will be played after the credits screen of White Pearl and, as such, cannot be viewed without defeating the final boss again. If you would like to watch it, please watch the video on YouTube: 

- New feature: save file compatibility with Fabrication. If you have a save file available to load in the main ending area, you can mark a new save file as "Cleared". Marking a save file as "Cleared" will allow Fabrication to process a check in these files, which will provide you with new items when the game starts. If you have a save file available in the alternate ending area of White Pearl - and you use the new "mark new save file as clear" option there, you will get an exclusive achievement in Fabrication for completing the alternative ending of White Pearl - as it ties in directly with the game's story.

Patch 2.0.5 Notes

21/04/2019

Fixed a bug where the following armors were unassigned an armor type:
- Protector of Flame
- Protector of Life
- Buckler of Defense
- Buckler of Will

* If you have previously obtained the items before the patch, they are now equippable to characters who can use bucklers.

- Renamed Crafting Reinforcement name plate.

- Removed Spiked Shield from available reinforcement options.

25/04/2019

- The new states added with Patch 2.0 - Poison, Blind and Silence resistance, granted from certain items, were previously unassigned an icon - rendering them untrackable to players unless they view the battle log. This has been fixed by assigning an icon to the states.

- An issue wherein Redlac was given the "Double Trouble" trait as of Patch 2.0, but he did not get an additional attack. This has been fixed.

- Several cutscenes occuring in Valen that were affected by the pinned bug regarding the cutscene prompt appearing at wrong intervals was partially fixed.

* This bug is not fatal unless you decide to take advantage of it. Please see the pinned message in "Discussions" for more information regarding this bug.

** As focus shifts from White Pearl to my next game, this bug may never be fully fixed.

12/05/2019

- An issue wherein Kurone was not granted the "Emergency Healing" trait when she joins your party. This has been fixed.

- An issue wherein the buckler, "Buckler of Will", reduced MP by 150 instead of HP by 150. This has been fixed. If the effects do not take place by the time of the update, re-equip the item.

- An error wherein the HP of Gargoyle Guard was 500, not 7000.

10/10/2019

Bug Workarounds

- The game crashes on the second to last boss in Falcon, in Chapter 1.

Details on overcoming this issue:
As of 10/10/2019, I have changed the order of commands in this code for the battle in order for the system to process it more effectively. However, there is still a chance that the game will crash. The issue is unknown as no information is provided to me in the form of error messages or debug messages. It is possible that it may be a memory issue, which is why I have changed the code. To reduce the chance of the game crashing at this battle, please close any overlays you have open - such as the Discord Overlay, or GeForce Experience overlay. It is possible that the game crashing may be related to this. It is strange, because sometimes the game crashes during the encounters in  proper, too, and I've not been able to find a fix. As long as you make use of the cutscene skip function (LB/S), and keep entering the battle, there is a possibility that the game will not crash - as I've seen. Basically, it's a chance that the game will crash here, and it's possibly related to memory or screen overlay issues. If you have any more information or bug reports, don't hesitate to post them.
This could be an error related to the 2.0 patch, since I added a script which makes the game run more effectively -- it could mess with that code.
I'm sorry I'm not able to provide a fix, but you'll just have to keep entering the battle and hope it works!

Additional Bug Fixes
- The BGM at the second phase of the final battle was changed to play the correct music.
- The BGM at the battle when Alberio needs to kill the enemies to proceed was changed to play the correct music.
- The BGM of the Cerberus battle in Chapter 14 was changed to play the correct music, not continue the area/battle theme.
- The volume of the final battle music has been increased.

- Certain loops of music was not programmed correctly. It has been fixed so that the loop point is where it should be.

New Content

Rewards: Adventurer's Garments, G and EXP, little bit more backstory on Melvy & Pearlto, (nothing important story-wise)
