Knightly Passions (DLC: In the Grip of Ice)

DLC: Between Life and Death - 2022.10.26
NOTE:Nothing transfers into or out off this DLC
KEEP OLD SAVE as this is a separate instance of the game from the main story

In creators own words
Q: " Is this different from the previously released halloween version?"
A:" There are minor changes in translation, mechanics and a couple of pictures. It's basically the same add-on that people have seen before."

DESCRIPTION
We present to your attention a special DLC for Knightly Passions entitled “Between Life and Death.” In said add-on, you’ll be obliged to go on an exceptionally exciting excursion into the underworld. Souls of the dead, decaying dragons, and other spawns of darkness will do everything they can to keep you from returning to see the sun ever again. But even in these blood-soaked wastes, the hunter won’t be bereft of the assistance of beauties, though they may not be entirely human. Will the intrepid hunter manage to overcome the trials and tribulations on his difficult road? And will he be able to outwit the Lord of the Damned himself to rescue a lost soul from the maw of hell?

The game has been ported to the latest version of the Ren’Py engine (Version 7.5.3). This will make the game more stable on all platforms (especially on Android).
Combat System 3.0. Let’s go over it all in sequence, from most to least significant. An auto-move button has been added in combat that allows the player to click a single time on a skill card to use it (no additional clicking to select the card’s target, which significantly speeds up battles). While in this mode, attack cards will automatically target the first eligible enemy, while defense and healing cards will target the player. Additionally, in this mode, cards no longer disappear and animations are much faster. We’ve also changed the exterior design of the combat system. We’ve started implementing new cards that you’ll see in the next updates. You can now swap between weapons in combat (bow/sword). You can now end your turn by hitting the space bar if you use a keyboard.
Updated the design of the arm wrestling starting screen.
Added new enemies in the forest (bears) and in the cave (dire bats, goblin archers, and goblin shamans).
New skill: “Vampirism.” This skill allows enemies to deal damage while also regaining health.
New skill: “Rage.” This skill triggers if you make an enemy angry. In this mode, enemies will deal more damage than normal.
New skill: “Iron Fur.” When an enemy uses this skill, they receive armor that can carry over to the next turn if you don’t break through it.
New skill: “Steel Claws.” An enemy using this skill can bypass armor the player acquires during combat, dealing damage directly to the player’s health.
Updated the item system. Armor, weapons, and certain quest items now have their own rarity levels. In the future, we’ll expand the current list of item rarity.
Combat balance has been completely reworked. The player now has 500 HP instead of 100 HP. The health and attack of all enemies have also grown several times larger.
Wounds heal when you sleep. Six hours of sleep in the tavern now restores 50 HP.
Made some textual revisions to Quests 2, 8, and 15.
Fixed many bugs and probably added some new ones.

v.0.8a
Knightly Passions 0.8a! RELEASE!
Dear friends,

We are delighted to present you with a new release of Knightly Passions - Version 0.8a. This update wasn’t an easy one for us because every member of our team caught the coronavirus at some point during this production cycle. That could’ve forced us to delay the release until April, but no, we managed to finish the release on time!

So, let’s take a look at what you can expect to find in the new update:

New quest: “The Family Heirloom.” In it, we continue to discover more about the elf’s character.
New quest: “The World of Trading.” A cute and romantic story involving Mirina :3
New quest: “The Forest Cove.” This is a quest that will, in future updates, introduce us to a new character.
Remade the adult scenes in the brunette nun’s cell in Live2D.
Remade 2 adult scenes with the elf in Live2D.
Added beautiful music that immerses you more deeply in the game for the new quests.
Completely overhauled hunting and slightly improved the combat system. You can now hunt several creatures at once by choosing to face one to three enemies.
Your level of Hunting Instinct now allows you to gain the dodge effect right in the middle of battles. The higher your level of Hunting Instinct, the higher your chance of gaining the dodge effect.
The item drop rate is now tied to Hunting Instinct. Each additional level increases the chances of rare items dropping.
Added auto-battle functionality to hunting mode. To unlock it, you need to conduct three successful hunts for animals of the given variety and number. For instance, in order to unlock auto-battles when facing three wolves, you’ll need to defeat packs of three wolves three times in normal combat. Auto-battles cost the hunter 30 HP.
You can now arm wrestle with the fisherman and the blacksmith.
Arm wrestling difficulty is now impacted by your level of Combat Training. The higher your Combat Training, the easier it will be to defeat your opponent.
The price of items is now dependent on your Charisma level. The higher your Charisma, the lower the cost of the goods you buy and the higher the selling price for your own items.
Added the “Lacerating Strike” skill card, which inflicts the bleeding condition on enemies. You can obtain it by defeating the blacksmith at arm wrestling.
Added an “enhanced fishing rod,” which grants you a 15% chance to catch a variety of items in the lake (including artifacts).
Added the “Potion of Oblivion.” It resets all stats, allowing skill points to be reallocated. It’s currently sold by the witch.
The Gallery now fully unlocks when unlocked via cheat codes (including all of the scenes with the elf and the brunette nun).
Improved the “New Game+” feature by adding the ability to skip Quests 11 through 14. (Previously, only the first 10 quests were skippable).
Added a convenient button in the navigation window to allocate unspent Skill Points.
Improved the English translations of Quests 5 through 9.
You now won’t be able to flee from combat during the combat tutorial. Previously, running away from the combat during the tutorial caused a critical error.

Fixed a bug with the appearance of the maid in the market in “New Game+” games.
Fixed trading bugs.
Fixed bugs when crafting items at the blacksmith.
