Hello,

Recently I had a small playtest session and gathered some notes about Lords of Illic. Then in the last two weeks or so I have been forced to spend a lot of time inside. Having already finished Monster Hunter Wilds (with only 35 hrs play time) the result was inevitable.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed issue with enemy threat turning off unexpectedly
• Fixed bug with pause menu appearing when it isn’t wanted
• Fixed bug when certain menus couldn’t be exited with escape
• Fixed a bug where the click which restarted a map would also click the start game button causing the deployment phase to be skipped
• Fixed a bug where a when selecting a unit a path arrow would appear even though unit is already in its own square
• Fixed a bug where it two range units could not attack from their current space
• Fixed a bug where units with two range abilities did not move to the correct space to use one range movement skills
• Fixed a bug where undoing a movement after a movement skill caused the unit to return to the square they started their turn in, not the square they were moved to
• Fixed a bug where the accessory’s description was used instead of price in shops
• Fixed a bug where boosting ability triangle was not part of an abilities tooltip
• Fixed bug where 40% of the button in the level up menu could not be clicked on
• Fixed missing icon for shadows
• Fixed issue where the button for turn ability charge on / off did not work with shortcuts / controllers
• Fixed a bug where characters would not sheath their abilities under certain circumstances
• Fixed bug where Lucy and Aoi did not start with movement skills
• Updated old level preview images
