Hello everyone!
After nearly a year of supporting Gales of Nayeli post-launch, nearly doubling the support list, adding new skills to underperforming units, implementing the frequently requested ability to bench the Avatar unit, and much more, I come to you bearing news of a brand-new adventure:
Wicked Night - Holy Knights is now live on Kickstarter TODAY!
Wicked Night - Holy Knights is set in the same world as Gales of Nayeli, but follows the aventures of Eder and Tusk, Leila and Nayeli’s fathers respectively as they work together to bring an end to the very first Wicked Night.
We’re developing the game in a brand-new engine (Godot!), with the goal of building upon the strong gameplay foundations established by Gales of Nayeli while introducing another colourful cast of characters who are a blast both on and off the battlefield.
Your support is what makes projects like these possible, and I will do my utmost to make Wicked Night - Holy Knights an absolutely legendary SRPG.
Thank you!
David from BlindCoco Studios
An engine update caused a crash to appear in the latest patch, which we are promptly addressing, alongside two small visual issues!
Fixed issue where a crash would happen when displaying cutscene history (default keybind is up during a cutscene).
Fixed issue that could arise at the end of Chapter 16 where Nayeli's Use Leftover Mov would happen in the screen transition.
Fixed a typo in Remington and Gene Erick's first support conversation.
If you have any issues or wish to discuss the game, feel free to join our Discord Server.

Hello hello!
Today may be April 1st, but this is no joke and you are no fool! Here's a little content update for you lovely people, including the commonly requested feature to bench the avatar.
We are still well at work cooking up Game 2, but we still wanted to take the time to improve on Gales of Nayeli while getting around to fixing those smaller issues that are still being found.
You can now bench the avatar starting at Intermission 1 (Except during Chapters 16-18). This also means that they can be moved during battle preps, granting them some more flexibility.
Note: If you do not deploy them during Chapter 13, they will not gain a skill at the start of the map.
Jinglesworth now learns Double Riposte at Lv 25 and Critical Mastery at Lv 28.
Glimmerstalk now learns Without Equal at Lv 25.
Draco now learns Barnyard Stamina at base, Primal Bulk at Lv 25 and Ambuscade at Lv 30.
Familiars, Draco and Skeletons now have the Promoted tag, granting them increased WExp gains.
The Heart Trio were severely lagging behind their competition, especially with their steep opportunity cost. They will now have a little bit more oomph, opening some avenues for Undead synergies.
Most Fangs, Tentacles and Claws have increased WExp gains.
Familiars and Kitoko couldn't reasonably hit S Rank Melee in normal play, so they're getting a bit of a WExp bump, potentially getting that extra power with the Mastery skill at S Rank.
Fixed issue where Glimmerstalk and Draco's Epilogues were not triggering.
Fixed issue where Flynn's Boss Quote with Red Roger was missing. Now also changes depending on if Flynn has Saltbreaker in his inventory, too.
Fixed issue where Maple would get a "Maple does not promote with this item" message instead of Promotion Badges being unusable by them.
Fixed a typo in Chapter 6.
Fixed a typo in Keri and Ayka's first conversation.
Tentative fix for the nagging invisible Laetitia issue from Chapter 6's intro.
We are hard at work on our future project, but we are still fixing issues as they are discovered. Huge thanks for keeping Gales of Nayeli alive and well!
Fixed issue where you could complete the map by destroying the stones in Ch24 after defeating one of the bosses. They now disappear after defeating one of the bosses, properly locking you out of the 'good' ending for the map.
Fixed issue where Ayka was missing the Magical tag.
Fixed issue where Guitar Hero Lilith still had the Techno tag.
Fixed issue where Jinglesworth and Glimmerstalk dying would de-spawn your Drake.
Fixed issue where Narean Helmet couldn't be sold.
Fixed issue where one of Sharif's level up quotes wouldn't match the audio line.
Fixed issue where the Ice Cube secret item in Chapter 14 was missing its glowing indicator.
Fixed issue with some boss dialogue in the post-game campaign.
Astral Sword, Astral Bow, Dragonscale Daggers and Dire Thunder can now be Purchased in Ch 21's weapon store. (Some of these items were previously only obtainable in Chapter 15's chest, depending on your Avatar's class choice)

We've seen a fair amount of fresh new faces in the Discord Server thanks to the steam winter sale (Hi, by the way!) and this led to a few issues being found, which we are addressing today!
Huge thanks for keeping the community alive and booming, folks!
Fixed issue where some Chest Mimic weren't properly flagged as being ''Normal'' Chests.
Fixed issue where Chapter 16's Turn Limit Defeat Condition wasn't triggering properly. We have also added a message, 3 turns earlier, to warn players of the approaching defeat condition.
Fixed issue where Chapter 22-1's Turn Limit was set to 17 instead of the displayed 14. The correct Turn Count is now 14.
Fixed issue where some enemies would not trigger Chapter 22-1's Defeat Condition upon entering the target area.
Fixed issue where Keri and Miles's paired epilogue would sometimes fail to display properly.
Fixed issue where Laetitia's single epilogue would sometimes display after her paired epilogue with Sophie.
Fixed issue where Ollie's name wasn't dynamically set in a Support Conversation in Chapter 21.
Fixed issue where recruiting Diego would not remove the Butterfingers icon on his map sprite.
Fixed issue where Fairy enemies were missing the Fairy tag from their description. Has no effect on gameplay since they had the tag behind the scenes.
Fixed a typo in Chapter 7's Victory Conditions.
Fixed a typo in a Support Conversation in Chapter 24.
Fixed a typo in Kitoko's Shed Skin passive that referred to a Status effect that does not exist anymore.
Updated Dex's Description in a Unit's Profile to remove some confusion between Accuracy and Hit.
Updated Samira's Learned Skills and Base Skills to have Graceful Dancer as a base skill instead of instantly learning it at the start of Chapter 6. This has the effect of giving Tomoe a Speed Boost on Turn 1 of Chapter 6. (Woo! Sonic speed!)

Fixed issue where in Chapter 18 and a support Conversation in Chapter 20, the Avatar's name was used in a conversation as Ollie (their default name), regardless of the name you gave them at the start of the game.
Fixed a typo in Chapter 28.
Ikan gained stat bonuses on Hopeless mode. This was not intended, but he has had a more positive reception as a result, so we are canonizing some of these changes. TLDR: Ikan gains +1 HP, +2 Str/Spd/Lck/Def/Res and +4 Mag/Dex on all difficulty settings.

Hello everyone!
Working on Gales of Nayeli has been a pleasure, and I want to make sure that it's been a treat for you, too! This is why I have assembled a Feedback Survey to gather your thoughts on characters, chapters and game mechanics. This survey is designed with no mandatory field, so feel free to share as little or as much as you feel comfortable.
I will still maintain Gales of Nayeli and provide bugfixes as necessary, but will slowly be moving on to future game projects, which will be informed a ton by your responses to this survey.
If you wish to be kept in the loop for future projects, our Discord Server is the best place to do so. We've been having a blast discussing SRPG mechanics these past few weeks and will keep doing so alongside Game 2's development.
That said!
This has been a joy to have the chance to work on Gales of Nayeli. Few people ever get to follow their dream the way I have been able to and I thank each and every one of you for that privilege. It is not one that I take lightly.
I am incredibly proud of the game we have managed to pull together, and I am looking forward to building something even better in the future with the benefit of all the lessons learned by releasing this project.
I hope that you wish to join me in my future adventures as well,
David from BlindCoco Studios
(This feels a bit weird to keep going after this, but we do have some patch notes to cover, so... here they are!!)
Fixed issue where Bubbles could only be summoned once per map.
Fixed issue where Leap/Vault/Guiding Leap skills would sometimes use the wrong unit's movement type for tile extraction.
Fixed typo in the Guardian Ring and Steward Ring where the HP Recovery wasn't accurate.
Fixed issue where Gallant and Leila's 2nd Romantic Conversation would wrongly highlight the platonic stars upon its completion. This was a purely visual glitch that had no bearing on the support bonuses or the ability to unlock the paired ending, though.
Fixed issue where Reka's boss appearance in Chapter 28 displayed Ayka's portrait in some boss quotes.
Fixed issue where Keri, Flordeliza, Ikan, Ayka, Sawyer, Ciara and Millenia could get their stats increased in Rising Tide mode as enemies. This fix does mean that their stats will not increase, even in scenarios where they can no longer be recruited.
Fixed typo in the Fancy Paintbrush item's description.
Fixed issue where Captain Laetitia, Corsair Sophie, Mako and the playable squids could not access the shops on some maps.

Updated War Chant and Glitterdust's skill description to emphasize that this is an active skill that is AOE and not a passive on the wielder.
Updated Chapter 5 so that the Avatar no longer speaks to Alivar if they are holding the Watchman Rope and Power Band to fling him across the fence. They like their ellipses...
Hit+20 and the Scope Lens now have new icons.
Bounty Staves are now available at some shops starting around Chapter 19, allowing playable units with the Contract Killer passive to make better use of this skill.

Some more fixes and improvements!
Fixed a typo in Chapter 3-1's ending cutscene.

Fixed erratic Thief smoke bomb behavior in Chapter 14.

Hello everyone!
It has been a while, but we come to you with a pretty massive update for version 2.0 of Gales of Nayeli, including new supports, items, maps and an entirely new post-game campaign!
This patch is meant as a huge thanks to everyone who supported Gales of Nayeli. Working on this game has been a dream come true and I’m glad I had the opportunity to make it even better.
The best way to experience the patch is through a fresh save file, but most of the changes will take effect into an already existing playthrough, and none of the changes should conflict and crash a preexisting save file. Do let us know if any issues arise, though! Fixing any issues will be my number one priority in the near future.
Note that support lists are created when recruiting a character, so it is possible that some new supports that do not appear in a unit’s support lists are triggered when resuming a preexisting save file.
These patch notes are not spoiler tagged, so if you wish to keep the full playable roster and their promotions unspoiled, we recommend that you stop reading here and hop on the game to experience the patch for yourself!
New difficulty mode has been added. Try your mettle in Hopeless mode!

Alright! This should be the final patch for version 1. We will be slowing down the daily-ish updates and work on (free) future content updates, but are dropping a few improvements and a new cursed relic before putting our head down for the new content.
Players on Normal mode were typically ending their playthroughs at a lower level compared to Veteran/Madman players due to lower enemy density, so this is an attempt to level the playing field without a difficulty-based experience modifier to keep our battle formulas the same for all players.
Exp Rubberbanding has been tightened. If a unit is lower level than their target and they deal the finishing blow, they will get a little bit more exp. This has no effect on chip exp or KOs when a unit was higher level than their target.
Chapter 28 has been slightly adjusted on Normal mode- no changes on Veteran or higher.
New Cursed Relic - Wizard Roach - Available in Ch20's Cursed Shop.
Fixed issue where two of Sharif's Level Up Quotes and Voice Lines were inversed.
Thanks again for playing and sharing your experience!

Inanna's Staff effect has been shortened by 1 turn to better reflect the description.
Fixed issue where 3 achievements weren't triggering properly.

Fixed issue where some trees in Chapter 28 did not have the right terrain effects.

Fixed some typos.
Thanks again for playing and sharing your experience!
We have heard only good things about the new compression settings from 1.20, which is great news! But we are still monitoring the issue and working on improvements and fixes.
Ayka now has the Rogue trait and the Lockpick passive as she was commonly mistaken as a Rogue by players, so we are canonizing it!
