Whew, finally beat the game. Fantastic. I apparently played for uh, well over a hundred hours.
Wanted to push some stats past 30 before the final ending but I found it nearly impossible to get anything past like 32; think I got Prim's magic to 35 after leaving an autobattle running while taking a nap, and she's the only character with all of her growth maxed in one stat. Yoko never even hit 30 for anything, somehow. Anyone have an idea of how you'd actually go about pushing higher? At the end I was straight up killing some of the end game side bosses in training mode and still not getting increases, I think on both the normal and scaling difficulty setting
Also looking over the creator's blog:
>their next game will be on steam it seems
>Primrose being playable was one of the last things added to the game, after it was already complete, almost 2 years after Yoko's route was added. Version 230 in 2021
>A Hat Wars game was being planned at one point? in 2021. I assume the idea died out, creator seemed to struggle with how the gameplay would serve the story
>the version of the game I downloaded from the OP is 237 while 239 is the latest, but nothing huge is missing. In 238 Lavie and Natalie were given casual outfits for the epilogue and a recipe was added for Primrose's key to prevent it being permanently lost (the lack of this confused me, since I was using the wiki and couldn't find it). 239 was just bug fixes
