Bhavacakra Maco
Version 1.0.10
The patch also completes Goblin chronicles which is the second major side quest on Alcella island.
What has been added:
1. A side quest “Light the way” added.
2. Cizna guild mission “Into abyss 1” added.
3. Goblin chronicle side quest is finally complete.
I summed it up with just one sentence, but there are like 5 quests mixed together in the last part. This side quest took a really long time to finish it.
Version 1.0.9
1. A side quest “Howling wolves” added.
2. A Cizna guild mission “Giant maneater” added.
3. Goblin chronicles updated. It is almost done.
Below is a list of changes/fixes
1. The Cizna guild mission “Maneater menace” was bugged. Maneater kills weren’t counted. It’s been fixed.
2. The Cizna guild mission “Bo mine cleanup” was also bugged. Fixed.
3. Prices of plate armor and full plate have been reduced.
4. Irune’s firestorm spell was utterly rubbish. The spell has been boosted.
Version 1.0.8
Now, cats are being added to the game. In this patch, it adds only one kind of cat, so I have not added many of them. More varieties will be added in near future.
This should liven up some places. They are predominantly found slacking or sleeping in cities/towns.
Dogs will be added in the future.
Adding kids is on a to-do list.
What has been added:
1. A side quest “Bug clean up” added.
2. Goblin chronicle side quest continues to be worked on.
3. A Cizna guild mission “Find me my cat” added.
4. “Glass ceiling” added which is a story quest in Cizna. This quest also introduces MP Edward who is the third unique MP after Benja and Jonathan.
This event will start the second plot: electing the first female MP in Cizna history (or the game world history for that matter).
Version 1.0.7
Also, a new feature has been added, the alignment page.
Finally, this will be the last patch for 2020. I am going to take a short break from this little project of mine.
A little bit early, but merry Christmas and happy new year. I’ve dressed up Maco in a Santa dress and uploaded the render on the background.
What has been added:
1. Alignment screen has been added under menu. Now, it will mostly be empty until you are 1/4 into the game. It gets activated once you pass Pierre’s fate quest.
Then your decisions on crossroads will be tracked there. You can expect this feature to be improved later.
More info is on alignment.pdf on the walkthrough page.
2. Earth dungeon level 2 added. Subsequently, mobs on that level now drops earth crystals.
3. Meaning Goblin chronicles quest chain can now proceed. As with most of long side quest chains, this side quest does have a fork. Choose wisely.
4. Cizna guild mission “Bears” added.
5. A side quest “Ambassiter” added.
Below is a list of changes/fixes
1. Eton guild mission “Mantis menace” had a mantis bugged which didn’t vanish after being defeated and kept engaging in endless battles. It’s been taught a lesson in how to behave.
Version 1.0.6
What has been added:
1. A side quest “This guy, again” added.
2. An update to Extra menu. Two added: Benja and Mieke.
3. A Cizna guild quest “Kraken!!” added. This is a mid-level boss quest. A pretty hard one.
4. A side quest “The charred helmet” added.
5. A side quest” Oathbreaker” added. A grim quest. You may not like how this quest unfolds.
6. Alderin bath scene with Mieke has been added. She will talk about her past as an idol.
It is supposed to trigger her personal quest but it’s not ready.
Below is a list of changes/fixes
1. [1.0.5A] There was a bug where you could talk to Shana at Alderin inn even without having to met her or even having her in your party. This accidentally could trigger a side quest.
This has been ironed out.
Also added a message if Maco is alone.
2. [1.0.5A] The passive cold damage from Water dungeon level 3 and below was literally bugging battles out. You will no longer take the passive damage during a battle.
3. [1.0.5A] When you leave Water dungeon via Glaciale, you still took passive cold damage. Corrected.
Also added a way to leave Water dungeon level 4. Duh.
4. Jordin inspection wasn’t properly working. Well, it was working but it wasn’t filtering out guys with colored hairs. This has been corrected. Only Baba was getting caught.
5. A bug where you could not enter Alca with Luca in has been corrected. It is true that you won’t be able to enter Alca with Luca if you go far enough in her personal quest but it was happening way too soon.
6. Edwing (Red Turban bandit boss) has been slightly nerfed. Too hard, some told me.
7. For some odd reasons, I had set Annamaria healing spells battle only. It now works on map as well.
8. A side quest “Slimy research” was bugged. Fixed.
Version 1.0.5A
This note will also be present in 1.0.6 patch note because only Steam users will see 1.0.5a patch note.
While I apologize for this mess-up, do understand that I do this alone. Something like a QA team does not exist. Well, I suppose you, players, are my QA team.

Version 1.0.5
“For boobs!” quest part 2 is stalled at the moment because I need to work on places. This is a long quest and does get pretty serious later on.
Additionally, characters added from this patch on will have some idle animations (breathing or playing with stuff, etc).
What has been added:
1. Yn mountain has been added which is located between Bella and Langt. If you care looking at the game map, it’s the mountain on Yn island.
A new kind of monster, Droko, is found there which is a very distant cousin of dragons.
This place will be worked on further in upcoming patches. Right now, it’s bare.
2. Water dungeon level 4 is added with a unique monster, Glaciale (Ice golem).
3. Tom the armorer in Bella has been renamed to Tair and has been given a unique face and sprite.
Yes, he is a somewhat important character. He is the president of Bella bikini contest committee; Well, it just means he's a perv.
Additionally, Bella has been worked on slightly, giving it more NPCs.
Below is a list of changes/fixes
1. Gwynn’s old face was showing up during Alderin spa scene. It’s been replaced with the new face.
Version 1.0.4
I am serious.
What has been added:
1. Shana has been added to Alderin spa scene. So, there are now two scenes, one with Gwynn. One with Shana.
2. A side quest “For boobs!” (2 parts) added. This quest can be activated if you bring Shana to Alderin spa where Maco can choose to have a rather one-sided, but heated, discussion of size of boobs.
This is Shana’s story quest. Her profile has also been added to extra.
Part 2 is NOT complete in this patch but you can start it.
3. Gywnn’s 3D model has been swapped out, meaning her character sprite, face, and the scene at the spa have all been changed with the new character.
She has a more likeable face and now has the largest rack among all female characters.
5. A side quest “Slimy research” added.
6. Water dungeon level 3 added alongside a side quest “Freezing riddle”.
Below is a list of changes/fixes
1. A few spelling corrections.
2. Water dungeon has seen some changes. Random encounter has been removed completely, and slimes were added due to “For boobs!” quest chain.
3. Other kind of slimes (fire and forest) were added in the game world as well.
Version 1.0.3 Wolf
I’ve also begun to expand the inn scene. Refer to #2 of what’s been added.
What has been added:
1. The abandoned manor has seen some updates. It now has a story going on. It’s still early though.
2. So far, when you use the bath service at Alderin inn, only Maco showed up. There are a lot of possibilities with the scene due to amount of available females Maco can have in her party.
The scene can now include Gwynn if she is in the party. There will be some unique conversations as well. More options in later patches.
3. Cizna guild mission “Domestic gibberish” added.
Below is a list of changes/fixes
1. Doreian rebalance:
Ever since the taunt skill change at 1.0.0, his skills have become redundant. So, I’ve come up with a new way to make him relevant again.
Here are changes made to his skills.
His class is Earth mage. Thus, I am making a full use of his mage class.
His taunt skill now lasts two turns, giving him a turn of free action. And his skills are now Earth magic.
Now, I don’t want to make people restart the game with the change. Therefore, I’ve come up with a backstory that Doreian is not the brightest mage and he cannot learn magic on his own. He needs to learn from scrolls. He will still learn few basic magic on his own but majority of his magic can only be learned from scrolls.
Doreian himself will explain how it works once you level him at least once.
2. Eton guild mission “Delivery” could not be completed if you have done Rathbone’s personal quest prior. This has been corrected.
Version 1.0.2 Wolf
Basically, their skills have become redundant due to taunt skill change.
This is on my to-do list.
Pierre is the least affected by this since he wasn’t designed to be a tank.
Doreian and Xander, however, their skills have become useless.
What has been added:
1. Cizna guild mission “Maneater menace” added.
2. Cizna guild mission “Hot rescue” added.
3. Cizna story quest “Unwanted guest” added.
Below is a list of changes/fixes
1. The final battle of Corlo tournament was broken. It’s been corrected.
2. Wandering wolves on the road to Vollin had some left over codes from an unrelated quest which made it bugged. The codes have been removed and it should now normally fade away when you defeat them or run away from them.
3. Cizna guild mission “Bo mine cleanup” couldn’t be reported to Orella. Thus, it was unable to be completed. This has been fixed.
4. Two Cizna guild characters, Irune and Doreian had issues with their character attributes.
Now, due to the way Wolf engine works, the mistakes cannot be corrected without starting over. Irune’s issue was fixed in 1.01A. Doreian’s issue was fixed in 1.02.
If you have a save made before those versions, Irune (for 1.01a) and Doreian (1.02) will be bugged. You can avoid using those two if so.
Doreian’s issue isn’t a major one though. He just doesn’t start with his planned 1750 HP and 650 STA. Instead, he starts with 50 HP and 30 STA.
Irune’s issue was far more severe, and I don’t recommend using her unless you’ve started the game after 1.0.1A.
