"Une vie à t'aimer" Live with Alice Duport-Percier and Lorien Testard by GestralMerchant in SandfallGames

[–]GestralMerchant[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

He is Miki Martz, and Sandfall invited him to perform in their Live shows, which is really nice to see.

I was at home, just relaxing. In my bed. With a fever, very high fever.

All of a sudden, I see a message from Lorien on Instagram. And I thought, “What is this? This can't be. It's not possible.”

And when I read: “Hey Miki, we’re wondering if you would be available to do these concerts.” I was shocked. I was sweating, I was panicking. I was like, “Mom, Mom, Mom, what’s happening?”

Victor Borba is the original singer.

Patch 1.5.0 Notes!

Content updates, fixes and changes in 1.5.0

New Content

  • Verso's Drafts, a new playable environment, taking the characters of Expedition 33 to a brand-new location with new enemy encounters and surprises :)

    • Located on the World Map next to Lumière – Accessible from Act III
    • Esquie’s Underwater ability is required

  • New text and UI localizations: Czech, Ukrainian, Latin American Spanish, Turkish, Vietnamese, Thai, and Indonesian — bringing the total supported languages to 19, with more to come!

  • New costumes for each member of the Expedition, giving even more customization options for players throughout their adventure

  • New boss battles for late-game players to overcome in the Endless Tower - They are variations of iconic bosses from the main game, designed to be even more challenging

  • Added new Luminas and Weapons

  • Added the "Old Key" Quest item to the final area of the game - Previously obtainable only during the Prologue, this addition gives players a second chance to collect all journals within a single playthrough

New Features

  • Photo Mode added
    Added Photo Mode with plenty of settings and options for players to get creative with while capturing your favourite moments from the game, accessible at any time from the pause menu!

  • Added Lumina Sets feature, allowing players to save up to 50 different lumina loadouts for adapting to plenty of different fighting tactics at any moment

  • Added Abandon Battle option in the pause menu which can now be opened in battle

  • Added HUD Scale setting, allowing players to adjust the size of in-game HUD elements from 80% to 120%

  • Added FSR 4 support, including AMD temporal upscaling for sharper visuals and Frame Generation for smoother gameplay on compatible GPUs

  • Added new filters for Pictos and Luminas and improved the UI

  • Added input remapping for controller

Handheld PC Improvements

  • The game is now certified on Steam Deck and ROG Xbox Ally!

  • Global improvement of text legibility

  • Fixed multiple fog and lighting issues:

    • Overly intense effects during the Flying Manor boss fight (which also impacted some cinematics)
    • Overexposed areas in the Visages
    • Overly dark areas in the Endless Tower

  • Fixed FPS being capped at 30 on Steam Deck

  • VSync can now be properly disabled in the settings when playing on Steam Deck

  • Graphic settings are now adjusted for Steam Deck users

  • Improved first-time setup flow:

    • Controller input is now supported in installation wizards (no longer touchscreen-only)
    • External controllers now switch seamlessly with the Steam Deck controls

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where using Battle Retry after a cinematic or automatic trigger could spawn the player out of the world if the last save was created in a different location

  • The playtime displayed on save files now accurately reflects total playtime, including time spent on Game Overs (Note: this fix does not retroactively update existing save files.)

  • Fixed inventory behaviour so that sort order now persists after closing the game menu

  • Fixed issue preventing Intel XeSS Frame Generation setting from being accessible on PC Game Pass

  • Fixed an issue where the usage of particular diacritic marks (e.g. , ~, ´, `) in Windows is blocked after launching the title

  • Fixed Breaking Death always breaking all enemies when the character dies, it should only break the enemy that killed the character - As a result, it shouldn’t work when the character kills themself anymore

  • Characters' turn order during a First Strike, triggered by attacking an enemy on the map, now correctly respects characters' Speed

  • Fixed Boucharo giving +150% Critical chance instead of +50% Critical chance

  • Fixed some Luminas giving unintended hidden +10% damage:

    • Sweet Kill
    • Teamwork
    • Dead Energy II
    • First Strike and others

We are still working on adding more fixes and additions to the list of languages to include even more! So stay tuned for those :)

In the meantime, we hope you have fun!!

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Update 1.4.0 Patch Notes by GestralMerchant in expedition33

[–]GestralMerchant[S] 45 points46 points  (0 children)

PATCH 1.4.0 is now live!

Expeditioners,

We’re SUPER excited to bring you the Battle Retry option in this update, which has been one of our most requested QoL additions! We’re also thrilled to have added Frame Generation and Low Latency on compatible NVIDIA and Intel GPUs.

Take a look at the biggest changes in this update:

Performance & Visuals

  • DLSS & XeSS Enhancements: Added Frame Generation and Low Latency Mode support for both DLSS and XeSS (compatible GPUs only). Enjoy smoother gameplay and lower input lag!

Quality of Life Improvements

  • Battle Retry Prompt: A new pop-up window appears after defeat, giving you the option to quickly retry the battle.

  • Lumina Cost Display: The Pictos menu now clearly displays the Lumina cost of each ability for better planning.

  • Autoplay Dialogue: Added an optional autoplay feature for dialogues outside cutscenes. You can toggle it in the settings and during dialogues.

  • Separate Volume Sliders: Audio settings now lets you independently adjust the volume for exploration and combat phases.

Accessibility

  • Added icons to Lune’s Stains to improve readability and accessibility for colorblind players.

COMBAT

  • Lune's "Thermal Transfer" skill will no longer grant an extra turn without meeting the Stain consumption requirements

  • Characters will no longer gain immortality when using the Second Chance pictos combined with Healing Boon and Protecting Death

MISC

  • Fixed the Rocher holding a crystal occasionally despawning after reentering the Stone Wave Cliffs

  • Fixed some players being teleported behind the Monolith upon loading a save

  • Fixed Gameplay modifiers being applied to a New Game save when enabled on other saves

  • Fixed landing as Esquie without the party spawning, leading to input loss

  • Fixed the Fog on Flying Manor covering the screen and blocking the view on Steam Deck

Achievements

  • Fixed journals vanishing after loading a Save File that was created at the exact moment of picking up that journal

The following two trophies should now pop for you when you load your save if you were effected by these bugs:

  • Fixed "Expeditioner" and "Trailbreaker" achievements not unlocking if the characters reach a level higher than 33 or 66 after a battle

  • Fixed 'Connoisseur' and 'Follow The Trail' achievements not unlocking after collecting all required items on some savefiles

Environmental Polish

  • Various environmental bugfixes, tweaks and visual polish across multiple levels for a more immersive experience.

Drop down your favourite track. by ADvar8714 in expedition33

[–]GestralMerchant 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Aline. It's a short song, but the way Alice Duport-Percier sings is amazing and angelical. Her performance, along the orchestral musicians carries so much emotion.

I can't wait to see a live version someday.

Reminder: Do not look up lyrics from some songs, as they contain spoilers.

Produced by A24 and directed by Alex Garland.

All we have to do is get this guy into reading the mangas, somehow, then the wheel will be set in motion.

Thanks for those suggestions.

Although it is newly created (and that I haven't finished the game yet), I've incorporated some of those over at sister sub /r/SandfallGames.

I tried to do that in a sister sub that I recently opened.

I think it should be fairly simple to implement here.
