Désorienté

This new version of Désorienté introduces a complete overhaul of the graphical rendering to improve visual comfort. The goal of this patch is to offer sharper and more defined graphics while strictly preserving the project's original art direction.Technical details of the update:Integration of my custom plugin, PixelArtUpscaler: The engine now uses version 7.5 of this visual processing tool, which I created and developed entirely myself. The improvement primarily targets environments (tilesets), on-map characters, and backgrounds (parallaxes).Increased Render Density: The game now calculates the display with a multiplied internal pixel density (x2 to x4 factor). This method ensures a true high-definition display without altering the window dimensions or the game's logical coordinates.Environment Analysis (Decision Brain): The processing is done pixel by pixel, analyzing the overall mood of the map. The system respects the darkness of environments and never adds artificial light sources in dark areas.Sharpness and Anti-Blur: An adaptive sharpening pass is applied after smoothing to guarantee crisp outlines. The system also adjusts color tolerance to prevent visual artifact

This new update introduces a key area: The Regent's Castle. This location serves to directly connect elements from the forest of Betueil with the story pages collected there, deepening the overall understanding of the narrative.These four pages contain essential stories and revelations about the world:Book of DolorimieBook of Count JarucBook of TieulleBook of Regent BelfortisThe narrator of these accounts is Fillias, a character whom the protagonist, Ritournelle, has not yet met directly. Exploring this area and reading these writings makes it possible to connect events and better understand what surrounds this world.Game development continues actively. The project will receive regular updates over the next few years; abandoning it is not an option.To support the project, leaving a review or a brief comment helps a lot and is always appreciated. Thank you all.

Patch notes:Grind: Reduced intestine costs for items, gear, and story unlocks. Progression is faster with less combat.Forest: Added lanterns to guide navigation to key spots.Forest Event: Adjusted the timing of the character appearing in the forest to make the scene clearer.

Update. Add an auto-save in the game that activates when you just open the menu. So basically, you don’t really need to worry about your progress anymore. I added this update more for convenience.
