Beta 0.0.1

← Previous —

The Beta 0.0.1 release was the initial closed beta release of Swirling Seasons. This version of the game is only available to select beta testers and was distributed via a dedicated discord server.

Beta 0.0.1 is missing many core features that will be added in later updates. The exclusions include, but are not limited to: the season cycle, following Pokémon, animated battle sprites, shiny menu icons, the town map, Chatter, and the Amaze-All Hub.

Due to the nature of an initial release, everything present in this version was added in this version: so this changelog is non-exhaustive.
