Beta 0.0.2

The Beta 0.0.2 release was a bug fix update for Swirling Seasons. This version of the game is only available to select beta testers and was distributed via a dedicated discord server.

Beta 0.0.2 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.

## **Changelog**

### **Additions**

* Added the Guruchi Tail, Kaskade's regional food.

### **Balance/ Gameplay Changes**

* Specoey now only spawns at night on Routes 1 and 2, Chewmunk now only spawns in the day on these routes.
* Mosster removed from Route 1 and pushed back to Tso-Lo Forest. This means Mosster and Mosskrat are no longer currently available in the demo version.
* Added Ananot to Youngster Doug's team (Route 1) to combat slightly against the early game steamroll that Grass-types can pull off.
* Shells, Starfish, and Pebbles on Shayklind beach no longer have collision.
* Pokécenter layout changed, new healing machine tile added.
* Shayklind Beach is now accessable before Gym 1, but is blocked off by a mandatory trainer battle (Trubbish, Stackem, Clamtrip).
* Adamo's Cooreds is now replaced with a Rhyhorn with access to Horn Attack, Bulldoze, and Smack Down.
* Starbyss's left clerk now sells Guruchi Tails, Sweet Hearts, and the Alcremie Sweets as they were meant to.

### **Bug Fixes**

* Made Chapinook's Gym puzzle function as intended.
* Fixed your Mother refusing you heal you before you beat Jay.

	+ Removed the player's ability to magically climb a numerous amount of trees.
	+ Removed the player's ability to clip into the void.
	+ Removed the player's ability to climb onto the roof of a school.
	+ Removed the player's ability to climb onto the roof of the Pokécenter.
	+ Removed the player's ability to insert themselves into a poster on the wall of the school, at which point you could then jettison yourself into the void.

	+ Removed the player's ability to stand atop a trash can.
	+ Fixed Quoia Forest Gatehouse collision simply not working.

	+ Fixed trees being chopped in half in odd locations.
	+ Fixed a cherry blossom tree that decided to grow itself into the Amaze-All Cloud Building.
* A hippie on route 1 used to have a portion of his sprite severed off and floating above his head. This has been fixed.
* A hippie in the Pokécenter was very simply frozen in time mid-step until spoken to. This has been fixed.
* Fixed squares appearing where text should be in specific instances.
* Gave Eecroach its proper sprite.
* Gave "Ecroach" its second e.
* Gave Cereboral and Stackem their proper Pokédex entries, rather than having Bulbasaur's entry.
* Changed Clamtrip's ability "Pear Drop" to Pearl Drop.
* Fixed the double battle on route 2 to not happen twice for whatever reason.
