- Emergency Patch for Amati Inn Crash - 02/16/2026 - 16 February 2026
This is a patch to eliminate the crash that occurs after the battle in the Amati Inn. I was not able to replicate the reported crash that happened, despite several attempts. The scene has been reworked to start without player input, instead of reaching a location. The subsequent boss battle and following cutscene should now play without any issues. Sorry that this happened if you were affected! And thank you for continuing to support Short Adventure!

- 12/29 - 2.1 Update! Video removal! - 29 December 2024
This update was going to be bigger, but I had a power outage during dev work and lost some of the data and all of my patch notes. Thankfully, I had backed up most of the work/game earlier. Video Removal: In response to feedback from others, I have removed all of the videos from the game, with the exception of the following: the opening movie when a new game is started, the optional look in the mirror video that plays during chapter 7, the optional dance video that plays during chapter 7. This should remove the problems that players had with viewing the cutscenes on their PCs. This also removes the problem of unable to pause the video if a player has to step away from the game. All of the video cutscenes have been replaced with pictures and in-game text. Character Adjustments: Certain characters have had their moves adjusted due to the damage not calculating properly due to the damage ty…
