Spoiler Free guide for new Content:
Make sure you go back to Spider Boss Room to unlock Floor 1.
Go to Floor 1 of School, keep going right. Once you unlock the Team Up attack you can head back to the Sakura Tree... or carry on to the right and fight an optional boss.
Go to Sakura Tree Outside, there is a new Door there. Defeat Boss.
Go to Room with up Arrow Bouncy things. Head into the pool.
Make your way down. There is a checkpoint pool that warps you back to top if you need a heal and lets you come back.

New Unlock Attacks:

R - Team Up Attack (Story Unlock from Luna Event) - Makes you VERY vulnerable, but does decent burst damage for no cost and has some interesting angles it attacks from.
7 - Time Slow (Not Stop) - 30 MP
C+Up = Play the Flute! Massive Screen Wide Damage. Only Usable when Solo. 50 MP / 60 TP

Known Bugs
- Defeating the Whale Thing in Fire Area, a bouncy invisible wall spawns. Avoid killing in a corner, or just skip.
- Oddities with new Screen Resolution, nothing game breaking
- Shield Spell BREAKS the Spoiler Fight: Bee Mini Boss (Either Insta win vs Bee Summon or animation locks her)
- Don't talk to NPC while in Slowed Time

No issue using my old saves. There is also a built in skip feature if a save gets corrupted

How does one skip? I actually lost all my saves

You get offered a skip by starting a new game with 0.5. Wont be in English, but the 0.4 should stand out anyway. My translation files are old and am trying to import everything into 0.5, I have to fix all the old maps which broke alot of text so it might take a while

You have missed alot. Head back to the Sakura Tree. There is a character who says end of 0.5, so you will know when you reach the end.

Ok, slapped together a temporary Machine Translate for the new content, which should do the trick until I can fix all the old content and then you know, grammar and stuff. I did briefly put in effort for the unique BAD END though :3. Will need more then a day to fix the rest though .

Basically ALL the 0.4 and older content will likely be partially translated, due to changes in the system, as I will have to redo all the event text (Have to go line by line to fix sadly). Everything else should in theory still work though, just didn't run a full playtest, only the new content.

As always, just drag and drop into the "www" files and it should work

Removed for Proper Update!

You are a gentleman AND a scholar. Thanks!

 

[Beerbaron]

Ok, that should do it. Cleaned up old content, did a full playthrough again on normal and fixed up what I could, let me know if I missed something, or something isn't working. Of note, the spider boss was updated with new attacks (Phase 3 and 4), but was broken in 0.5 initial release. Should work with this patch though.

Enjoy! Happy New Year!

English Patch for 0.5:
Updated to Ver 1.01!

It also seems like the Bonus Area is actually the Debug Area... so enjoy it while you can, it will probably go away, I don't think it is intended based on the devs response of how the heck did I get there XD

*Edit: Yup, asked to take down the picture where the Debug Room is. It will be removed in the next update

 

[FoxMelody]

I am not entirely sure what you are talking about, although that might be because I might have stumbled upon an issue?
So when I got underwater, the teleport at the bottom didn't activate at all? When should this thing activate? I went to the room under it, talked to the heal fairy saying it is the end for 0.5, but that didn't activate the teleport either. I assume "reaching the end" does not involve actually defeating the Gorgon/Lamia hiding in the darkness, because she does not seem to be destructible at all.
After manually leaving the underwater area (damn, avoiding the clams is so tight even with time slow + boost) neither the "Tanuki room" nor the entrance with the Frog girl who says "raise the flag" are available (those are the locations you meant?)
So unless I am missing something silly, then guess no bonus/debug area for me for now.

BTW, which unique BAD END do you mean, I see most game overs in this batch are unfortunately rather short, would that be the Hex Puppet rhythm game, I don't recall others with text bubbles?

You need to talk to Mr. Giko (Bubble Cat thing). They will unlock the portal back up. Also, the debug room is most definitely not intended XD

The BAD END is for using the Shield Spell against Medusa when she tries to petrify you.

Ok, imagine that my issue was, that somehow on this save I have not spoken to Giko back in the snow zone before the boss room, which in turned caused him not to appear underwater, because I guess the first encounter flag needs to be set. Only after I revisited the location and triggered the initial dialogue, did he finally appear underwater on the next visit, enabling the trigger of the progression flag and the teleporter there.
And with that I also see what is the deal with the "tanuki room" and consequently the debug room. So based on Giko's dialogue the "tanuki room" (the first "secret room" mentioned in the earlier posts) should unlock, as he literally talks about the tanuki. But that room is currently borked and connects to another room that very much should not be accessible, as it is actually a debug room. I can only guess that the dev forgot to remove the connection when attaching that location to the intended part of the game world. Also one can clip out of the map on the rightmost side of the "tanuki room".

The BAD END is for using the Shield Spell against Medusa when she tries to petrify you.

Thanks, that was a funny one. Shame I missed it the first time. I think I did use the shield at least once against her, but it must have absorbed a normal attack and disappear before she used the gaze

 

[Beerbaron]

That makes sense, considering how the conversation involves talking about the bonus boss from the ice area.

Your not even supposed to get in the Tanuki Room according to Dev, will be patched out whenever 0.51 comes out.

Looks like you can adjust the new screen resolution in the "Plugin.js" found in the JS Folder. If you open it up with notepad and search for "Screen" it should be near the top, you can edit the Screen Size numbers there, even though the translator program recommends not to.... but I recommend against it for a different reason:

It seems dependent on the map, and was a work in progress / testing from what I understand. Some of the maps scale correctly to the new size (1800x1200), while other's like the Game Over, very 1st screen of a new game, around the school halls and more have black bars everywhere. Basically any open area will not fit if you increase the maps that are tiny it looks like? I played around with it abit but let me know if you find a sweet spot!

I did some minor tweaks after playing through again on Hard. Both the above link and this one should be the same:

Just to be clear, is going through the gymnasium and the underground cave area (with the magma and all that) part of the intended (so to speak) route for the v0.5 additions? I kind of just kept going right through the screens until I ran into the bee girl's room.

I know there was a bit of chatter about unintended entry into the debug room, so I wanted to be sure if I was in the right place.
