v0.4.1 is a minor update which makes a few small adjustments to specific enemy locations in the enemy randomizer, and adds a couple of player-requested features.
Most work in this update was behind-the-scenes preparing for future stuff, which will be common for a while.

A tutorial video made by SphereKuribon that shows some tech that can be helpful in the randomizer:

Not all of this can be required to progress (depends on your preset) but of course it's useful/fun if you can do it.
I'll post some things not covered here tomorrow.

As a heads-up, I'm mostly working on small pieces of larger future updates this month. I'm collecting any feedback from enemy randomizer as well as anything else, and I'll update sometime within a week or so with some minor updates I've already collected.

I wonder if this enemy was originally intended to appear in more places from the start? I don't think this could ever happen in the places it normally appears in the game.

Enemy randomizer progress:
Focused on documenting all castle enemies first, which is at least 1/3 of the game.
Used the castle list to do trial and error on the actual randomization system, trying to rule out many causes of unfun results.
Now that I have a workable system, also did 3 other zones.

Technically I have 90% copied the old enemy randomizer now, but my first test reminded me of the issues I have with it.
For one, I'd like to remove these spots with an unavoidable hard-to-kill enemy charging at you. But fixing it will require cataloguing every enemy location. Please bear with me.

As research on enemy randomizer I'm checking whether DS restrictions on enemy placement still exist in Dominus.
I knew this from Arthroverta, but some don't. Example, Skeleton Frisky supposedly crashed the game when placed in the air, but now doesn't. Mimic is still unfightable in the air though...

Added a v0.3.4b download to the v0.3.4 github post.
It removes 1 of the new Arthroverta locations. It's not -that- big of a deal, but I overlooked something simple that can make the room annoying to clear with Arthroverta in it depending on the seed, so if you want to be safe, you can get v0.3.4b.

If you want to see an example of one of the effects that can be chosen at random, here's what Shift Sleeve does.
- If your glyph page has Volaticus, you can superjump like Albus.
- If you're on page A, your backdash becomes a forward dash. B and C have backdashes like normal.

v0.3.4 is out.
Main points:
- Fix a bug in Arthroverta's Revenge which could have made a seed unwinnable if the stars aligned
- Add a sneak preview option, Trick Sleeve, which adds a new random mechanic to the Sleeve relic, and makes the old function default.

Next update (sometime within the week) will be a relatively small one in terms of amount of things, but I'm looking forward to it.
OoE is a rare CV game with swappable loadouts, and I'm about to start using that for custom effects. I think there's a lot of unique space to work with here.

The next major addition on the list is Enemy Randomizer, but it's possible the next update might be something else. I plan to put a lot of thought into how I do enemy rando, and I have some plans, but I want to present something that I'm satisfied with when it's ready.

I expect most players don't pay too much attention to quests, but personally I don't like that quests can sometimes be uncompleteable in the old randomizer, so I took steps to avoid it here.
At least if you luck into items for all 3~4 of a specific villager's quests, I recommend turning them in.

This isn't in the update, but the ability to see both "side screens" at once in Dominus is nice, and I had a request to take advantage of that by revealing enemy stats from the start.
I think making Book of Spirits reveal enemy drops while you have it might be a cool idea, so I just added the tech.

Wooden Chest randomizer is now... done...? I'm not sure yet. This one's very easy in terms of tech, but tricky from a designer's view. I'll call it done enough for now though.
That leaves relatively few things left. I'm still not sure how long the version checking will take to implement.
