SR 4.21 - rename to Heroine Rumble II next patch?

Download Here.

See this post for a summary of the new features.

A couple of things I didn't mention:

First base stats (STR,DEX,INT,WIL,CHA) now have actual bonuses. Their exact effects is still much in the air so I am not going to list what they do here. Compare to HR I and HRT where each level up gives extra base stats, this is NOT going to be the case this time. So the initial spread of stats have a bigger impact compared to HR I and HRT.

I also replaced the starting grab ability of every character to a weaker, slower version. The old quicker grab must be acquired via a level up selection.

I added a new currency called Fame. This is the orange star icon on top right. You acquire Fame by participating in matches. Once you acquire enough Fame, you will receive the next Fame Rank and acquire various bonuses. (Not in game yet)

Finally, I added back the events and dialogue system and locked the shop and exhibition customization behind certain level of progression. To unlock the shop, you'll need 500 credits. To unlock exhibition customization, you'll need 50 Fame.

If all goes to plan, next actual patch (not bug fixing patch) will probably rename this game to Heroine Rumble II, as I felt it finally has enough features and content to be worthy of it's name.
