As of 2024-09-29, formally pushing the v1.12 patch.

• Field menu's Quit option now exits to title screen instead of closing the game.

This is a small quality of life feature to make save-scumming easier as Crop and Claw's balance is goofy. This is somewhat experimental and could lead to bugs, so report any strange occurrences where ever you see fit or on the Discord at https://discord.gg/D3ttpCkmyk For players who've done everything and for some reason want to keep playing, you can enable the debug menu by running the game with the parameter `--uuddlrlrba`. As part of this update, MN_NO_XP was added to the debug menu to disable XP gain for a L1 run. I have no idea if the game is actually possible to beat at L1, but you sure can try.

A minor patch bringing Crop and Claw to v1.11. Mostly just tweaks to fix a few mistakes.

• Fix snails, mimics, Ghostgons, and mosquitos not dying correctly in Repainted.
• Fix minor typos or text overruns.
• Fix a visual bug in Repainted Japanese in which menus used the wrong graphics.

Crop and claw is nearly two months past initial launch. Most of the major issues had been ironed out, and v1.1 is good enough for release.

Crop and Claw Repainted

While Crop and Claw was designed to resemble a classic 8-bit RPG, we had built it with intent to patch in an extra mode for graphics and music. We now present Crop and Claw Repainted. This is a free update which adds an extra option to play with some more colorful and detailed sprite work and a remixed MIDI soundtrack built from the original tracker music. Repainted does not drastically change the game's presentation, nor does it have functionality exclusive to classic mode. It is a simple cosmetic change. This also does not affect save files, so progress is not lost upon switching modes.
You can toggle the game's graphics mode from the options menu on the title screen. Classic graphics and music are still available.

Thanks for checking Crop and Claw out. Despite some highly insufferable hiccups, the game's gotten some appreciation. A few rolling updates have been pushed out, but here's a small list of a few issues that were patched. There are still some bugs and inconsistent behavior, but the biggest was attempting to fix a crash that only happened on Windows, and randomly at that. It's not entirely confirmed the Windows build is fully stable, but time will tell.

• Fixed Rime Viper text not correctly applying to ice pop description.
• Fixed Flutter NPC fight not triggering correctly.
• Fixed a certain pool's CHECK description...
• Fix misapplied pearl tag
• Buff Solar Ray
• Fix Viper Claw tags
• Fix Trainer Brace tags
• Fix Quiet Stance Description tags
• Fix a confused hint NPC repeating himself
• Fix HP/TP healing on field not factoring in max HP/TP increase.
• Fixed references to Orbs being called PEARLs
• Fix a few tags
• Fix incorrect resource preventing a warp from working correctly
• Fix just... a not working warp at all.
• Tweak funny gold spell damage output
• Tweak XP formula for slower level grinding.
• Minor text tweaks
• Theoretical fix for Windows builds crashing randomly during combat.

As of 2024-05-07, formally pushing fixes here to call v1.02

• Tweaked XP to-next-level formula
• Fixed Frostshield not being usable on field.
• Fixed(?) ritual spells not applying their statuses when casted on field.
• Refactored some combat code just a tad for better message awaiting.
• Increased delay of instamessages being possible to close, so some messages don't fly by without being readable when mashing.
• Minor text tweaks and fixes.
• Stabilize a lot of previously [Windows] crash-prone calls. (Preferably forever) (It wasn't)
• Add functional sign to thief town
• Fix Heal, Restore spells not usable on field (I think)
• Refactor a few extra potential [Windows] crash cases.
• Fix bug in which cleansing poison on field would follow up with no effect message.
• Player full restore subroutine now removes ALL statuses.
• Minor typos and text fixes.

Feel free to post to Steam's Crop and Claw forums or hop on the Discord at https://discord.gg/D3ttpCkmyk if you'd like to throw more bugs at the developer.
