The following is a list of features, fixes, and updates added to Kristala Version 0.2.0.1

• A new Wall Jump mechanic has been added with more controlled movement, allowing the player to grasp onto the wall for a few seconds before leaping to the next ledge or cliff.
  
• An emergency button has been added to the bug reporter menu. If you become stuck and aren’t able to get out using a teleport item, you can use this button to teleport to your last-interacted Ellarial Font checkpoint. Please do still report the bug so we may document your location when the tool is used.
  
• A Tandaran starting Talisman has been added.
  
• The tutorial prompt for the Wall Jump mechanic has been updated.

• The Kotakayan Rot Helm now has a “stink trail” VFX attached to it.
  
• Ghost hands and fog areas have been added in places where a soft death may occur in the city of Myr.

• The overall visual aesthetic of the Feline Skill Tree has been improved.
  
• The proper icons for Rings and Tail Charms have been added.

The following if a list of known bugs we're currently working on addressing for Kristala Version 0.2.0.0. Stay tuned to future patch notes for updates on these issues.

• If you have many items in your Inventory, adding an item to your Quick Bar will cause all items to appear condensed on your screen.
  
• When viewing an Inventory that has more items than can fit on a single screen, a seemingly immovable scroll bar will appear; physically grab the bar to scroll down and view off-screen items.
  
• At times, enemies hit with a spell will walk slowly toward you vs. running after you; hitting them a second time should make them return to normal.
  
• Some doors and gates don’t actually open from one side or the other as intended.
  
• Knocking enemies into water or holes may cause them to disappear, preventing you from receiving XP; bosses, however, will respawn in this same scenario.
  
• There are currently two Strength Rings in the game; when equipped, however, one is actually a Finesse Ring. Equip any Rings you find to determine if they affect Strength or Finesse stats.
  
• Placing a "Named" Ring in an Inventory slot shows stacked bonus stats for ALL Rings within that slot (for example, a slot that shows (3) Strength Rings allows you to gain (9) Strength from a single ring when equipped).
  
• Some enemies will refuse to chase you, even after they notice you; instead, they’ll turn toward you and only attack if you get close enough.
  
• Some enemies may seem to “glide” vs. walk; all other enemy animations will be fine, and the glide issue will be fixed after they chase you.
  
• You may randomly start "floating" while exploring some area; repeatedly jumping and/or dodging will fix this issue.
  
• Some game assets may be seen loading in as you enter new areas or when you initially load into the game.
  
• At times, the game’s music may abruptly stop working. This usually stops when you interact with an Ellarial Font checkpoint; you can also restart the game to fix it.
  
• Some Wall Grab spots are difficult to grab, and a few may not work at all. This is not something that happens for every player, and we’re actively investigating a fix.
  
• The Ice Armor Spell completely negates all physical damage until it breaks, which only happens from status-effect damage.
  
• The Flaming Skull Helmet sometimes randomly removes itself when you hit a loading screen (this includes changing maps, teleporting, fast traveling, dying—and potentially other scenarios)
