New Experimental Game Build: 1.107 Pre-Alpha

Heyo and salutations, everyone ^w^

Despite minor delays, Experimental Version 1.107 is now live. This update includes Chapter 9, Mission: Commandeered Munitions, an early version of a new hubworld in the form of District 3, the cure progress screen, Misaki as a playable squadmate, and several allusions to the powers beyond. 

I’d like to apologize for taking this long to finish Chapter 9. It was fairly large when compared to some of the other chapters of EL9FG, and I wanted to release some extra content alongside it to spice things up. 

If you’d like to play through Chapter 9, I’d suggest starting a fresh save file and skipping through the game until you reach Chapter 9, since I’ve added some new variables to the game that may cause exceptions to occur if you load a save created in an earlier version. If you’d rather not do that, my secondary recommendation would be to load a save created in Chapter 8 as the risk of an exception occurring will be minimized (in theory).

In Chapter 9, Rui reunites with Misaki, her and Yama’s childhood friend, who has gone on to become an elite spec-ops mercenary commander and corporate royalty in Kazehaya Combine, owned and founded by her formerly estranged mother, Satomi.

Satomi requests the Lucid Cell’s assistance in reclaiming one of her corporation’s facilities in District 3 that was recently disconnected from their communications grid, and Rui and Hisao embark with Misaki to investigate, and, if necessary, recapture the facility. In this mission, Misaki will be playable as a squadmate in battle scenes, and two new weapons will be available for use: the Kazehaya Combine X250-L Wanyuudo Battle Rifle, and the Garrett Munitions G4-MX Cottonmouth Shotgun.

Before you start this mission, I’d recommend buying and upgrading the X250-L and G4-MX to full power through the Quartermaster in District 3’s Blackstar Citadel, as well as purchasing a minimum of 200 Incendiary Grenades and 200 Energy Support Modules, as having enough consumables and fully upgrading your weapons will give you the best chances of survival.

That’s about everything for now, and as always, I’ve included some screenshots from the new version of the game below.

Thanks again for all the support ^w^
