Spring of x64 / Revision 55


WHAT'S NEW

- Preparing for coloured sprites, at the cost of a slightly bigger file size and longer load times on weaker devices

    - Near all species have a coloured spritesheet for each of their alts now

        - Colour sprites have no animations as of yet

    - Added separate toggles for species, objects and backgrounds in the reset menu

        - Backgrounds and non-event/minigame items don't have coloured alts at all, however

- The Windows port now only targets x64, dropping support for x86

- Implemented a file browser on all platforms, replacing the themed, squished Godot FileDialog

    - The Google Play port can access internal files, but not external ones

- Attack changes:

    - Ground Crusher is now Short ranged instead of Long

    - Snowball is now Blunt type

    - Decreased power of Flurry and Poudrin

- Species changes:

    - Mitachi's Razor Gale now functionally acts like Sharp Gale instead of Wind Claw

    - Changed Vexonite's favourite food from INNARDS to NECTAR

    - More playable species have at least one unique speech line

    - S. SALTS no longer do anything to Puppets

- Venture changes:

    - Improved previews for items, encounters and eggs

        - Pressing Button A during an encounter's splash screen will lead to their DEX entry

        - Fleeing is now possible during Touring quests, but will always fail

- Maybe some other changes


WHAT'S FIXED

 - Species oddities:

    - Corrected Denfeld's rank from ★9 to counterpart species Torcrux's ★5
    - Certain species not technically being exempt from attacking party members when they're the player character

    - Alt B male Yarnix having black claws instead of white ones

    - Handler Langarde having a filled white spot on their (original, B/W) idle sprite

 - Dex oddities:

    - Roster size only counting up to the Imago Update's 124, not the current (Spectrum Update) size of 135

    - Certain species being viewable (Emperus, Nirvyras) or unviewable (Armedon) when they shouldn't be

        - Also corrected Armedon's debut to the Imago Update instead of the beginning of this particular iteration of Riftcast

    - Lampagore hasn't properly debuted in any major revision yet (if technically finished by the Spectrum Update)

 - Alterworks Depot not having a night background

 - WHACK minigame not playing any sound after losing

 - Venture recruitment menu showing keys instead of translated text

 - Import screen being completely untranslated

 - Corrected the failure prompt for having a teammate who lacks the Slide ability

 - Connection waiting screen not acknowledging the other leader's gender

 - Potential game crash from attempting to import from the original or finish a Night Raid

 - Save slot load screen erroneously using the last active party member's form instead of gender while picking their idle sprite

 - Added a failsafe for dialogue not loading during a speech event and the ability to back out of it

 - Likely some other corrections and fixes
