-Fixed a bug where one of the On Map Event Riddles was showing the wrong images.
-Fixed a bug where the bowls remained after an On Map Event was completed.

-Fixed a bug where the Boss Game Over Scene didn't erase the last image.

Details about the new build:

The newly revamped Khrono Tomb has new maps and On Map Events which trigger images and short scenes.  Be careful as you traverse the trap filled tomb in the search to find out why it has suddenly turned hostile to its owner.

[Dev Notes]

We've hit yet another milestone build of 0.5.0!

It has been quite the year but we are finally ready to release this build to everyone!  Hopefully this time it is relatively bug free; however, there always seems to be a few that crawl out from the shadows when everyone else is playing it. 

There are a few things that we were not able to get into the game that we've discussed in some earlier posts so I will detail them here.

The Desert Path is going to have On Map Events, a side area, and other content added in a future WIP Build update.  To trim the scope of 0.5.0 we focused on getting the On Map Events into the Khrono Tomb before working on the side area which acts as an inbetween area.  It will feature more art and the introduction of a new system which other levels may include as well.

[Current Plans]

Speaking of which, our current plans after this build is to fix any bugs that are reported in a timely manner and take a small break.  Over the last 2 months we created over 69 images for the game and need to take a small 'vacation' so to speak from the game to train up some skills and focus on improving things for the game.  I will most likely still be streaming art on Picarto but it may be unrelated to the game and instead be art practice/commissions/or Live2D rigging for Ankhrono-Tan as I will be making an updated model/new outfit for Monster Hunter Rise streams later this year.

In terms of Mira Co Rescue there is still plenty of content to come; however, we need to draw up a new roadmap for 0.6.0 before finalizing what we will be focusing on.

In terms of potential/planned items, the most immediate would be finishing the Desert Path with it's side area, on map events, and other surprises associated with it.  In addition, there are a few open items in terms of scenes that should be wrapped up as well (Limu Slime Visits/Vending Machine Mishap).  Creating more content for the Khrono Manor will also be a small focus as the next steps of the game will involve additional areas of the manor being unlocked after completing the Khrono Tomb.

After that, there are still several areas that could come to fruition: 

-A planned New Area that changes up the formula of combat and exploration and is its own section.

-A potential side area with more On Map Events with a sci-fi theme.

-A potential but obligatory Beach area.

-More Side Events for Mira, Hemmy, and Selena.
-And eventually, the end of Mira Co Rescue?

I want to thank everyone who has taken the time to read blog posts, post comments, downloaded, played the game, and otherwise interacted with me over the course of Mira Co Rescue's development.  It has been quite the journey and there is still plenty to come, but for now a bit of rest as we start planning once again for another milestone update.  

I hope everyone is staying safe out there, staying hydrated, and getting plenty of rest.  I hope you enjoy the new milestone build!  Until next time.
