BGP PATCH NOTES (Oct. 1 2021):

The Big News

The Specifics

• Switched to a Division-based damage algorithm.
• Balanced stats using Ponatina as the base character dealing ideal percentages of damage with each move. (No more dealing 1% average damage to Furum & Poni-Bot anymore!)

• Made GP stat more plentiful.
• The Game Boot-Up Loading Screen is now centered and readable.
• Volume Settings have been added to the title screen and rebalanced on our end to sound reasonable.
• The Change Moves screen no longer opens or reloads with the wrong pony's info on display.
• In battle, exiting the FIGHT! button's move select HUD no longer continues to display a 'swap-to pony' if you were checking out a party member's moveset while they weren't actually on the field.
• Pony Equips now activate at the start of the very first turn instead of after.
• Issue where jumping into a Random Match right after boot-up forgets to load pony abilities has been fixed.
• Item or Ability induced weather conditions now carry on continuously instead of stopping only to trigger the effect and begin again.
• Weather bonus effects now kick-in whenever a pony enters the field instead of only being applied once when the weather first activates.
• The moves Hex, Endure, Inner Power, Hex Powder, Night Fright, Cheap Shot, and Swarm Shield work properly now.

• 2-Turn Moves can now be configured to have different priorities on each phase.
• 2-Turn Moves no longer ignore being put to Sleep.
• Interrupted airborne state no longer continues the feather drop animation.
• Edge cases involving 2-Turn moves and triggered abilities/equips/matchups/side effects have been tested and accounted for.
• We now have the ability to clamp stat stages however we want instead of having -3 to +3 stat buffs hardcoded.
• Status moves now take the target pony's class matchup into account.

• Devil Shot & Torment had their POW formulas adjusted to deal worthwhile damage.
• Leech moves now restore the proper amount of the attacker's HP.
• The pony-form lock state now actually prevents swapping out.
• Mauss' Thirsty ability now absorbs Whirlpool traps.
• Furum's Compensate ability no longer stacks and can activate on swap-in.
• The Rainbow Rock item has been nerfed to give the user less speed.
• Rainbryte can no longer use the Silver Scales attack (it's side effect along with her Ability was just too OP!)
