Hello everyone! It's been a little over a month since the release of Manafinder, and I am incredibly grateful for all the positive reception so far! Thank you all so much for playing!

I've released a fourth patch (v 1.04) that addresses a few issues, but most importantly it introduces a new "New Game Plus" mode called "New Game++"! Read the patch notes below for more information.

Please keep reporting any issues on this thread, and please keep enjoying Manafinder!

Patch Notes


New Game++



  • New Game++ has been added as an option after you clear the game. In this mode you will retain everything on your new game except your key items (including Heavenstones and Manashards), komaleaves, ores, spears, and the Counterattack magic.
  • The old New Game+ mode is also still an option. While I assume the New Game++ will be more popular (based on player feedback), I did not want to take away existing options.
  • If you have an existing save file right after finishing the game (Clear Data), you will be able to select both New Game Plus modes. (see pictures below)

Quality of Life



  • A helpful hint reminding you to check your equipment for Light elemental vulnerability has been added whenever you are K.O.'d in the final area of Chapter 4.
  • The hint provided when you are defeated by the boss Mount Olov has been updated to be even more informative.
  • Additional autosave triggers were added in the final area of Chapter 4.


Fixes



  • Fixed an issue where a couple of Unleash attacks, such as Meteor Rain, would cause a display bug in the final boss fight.
  • Fixed an issue where a couple of texts were missing Spanish translation.
  • Fixed a couple of spelling and grammar errors. (Spanish)


Other Announcements


The native Linux port is coming along nicely! If all goes well it should be released before November ends. Work on Mac port will commence after the Linux port is released.

About the Weapons Galore achievement in New Game++


Please note that while in New Game++ your weapons are carried over and do count towards the achievement, you will still need to have all of the weapons in your inventory, including the spear updates which are not carried over.

Accessing New Game++ on an existing clear data save


If you have an existing save file right after finishing the game (Clear Data) prior to the installation of this patch, you will still be able to select both New Game Plus modes. At first you won't see the option, but simply select New Game+...


And you will get a message explaining that new options were added.
