Version 1.4 is here just before the end of the year! Besides possible bug fixes, this will be the last of the Basic versions of I Hate You, Please Suffer! I've mainly been writing out the last tier of quests, and hopefully you'll all see Complete done in 2022! 

Additions

• A loan office has been added to the south of downtown.
• If you take too long to pay off a debt, a new unique encounter starts to chase you. You're allowed to lose to her, but man, you gotta remember to pay those loans off by the end.
• There's more to the car encounters under certain conditions.
• A bunch of new things can be interacted with under certain circumstances, including a new alternate path through the arcade cabinet quest. Unfortunately, if you've already interacted with That Statue before in a save file, you cannot activate the new switch added to it.

Major Fixes/Changes

• The ability to change battle themes was unnecessarily complicated, so now you can just choose what record to play in the menu when you unlock the ability to do so. If you already unlocked the ability to change music in an old file, interacting with Uzbek will re-add the record with the initial battle themes.
• I switched to V.M.'s HP bars, which are not only less intrusive, but the bars will no longer reveal hidden enemies; Yanfly's old HP bars ruined the surprise.
• The soft-locking encounters in the manor library will properly disappear after defeat or escaping via bribe.
• Somebody that should not be in a certain place after doing a certain thing will only appear if you do a certain quest right, as intended.
• Using the Bribe skill accidentally charged you twice because the common event it was initially connected to in the demo took money separately. That's finally fixed now.
• Most of the "getting shot at" events have been removed in favor of a few more specialized events if you piss off the mob.
• The wrong switch was applied to the end of the graveyard quest that let you repeat it over and over, so that's been fixed.
• You can now lose a certain hidden fight, though you won't get the reward you'd get from winning.
• The bosses of the manor and arcade machine quest won't re-summon backup if you don't have Kyrie in your party, for some reason.

Combat Changes

• Enemy levels no longer scale forever. Early enemies will stop leveling past 3 while most of the mid-game ones will stop leveling past 8-12. However, bosses still scale. I don't want them to be overwhelmed by raw stats, I want you to overwhelm them by being good.
• Defenses on a lot of enemies raised.
• Status resistances added to various enemies: refer to charts below (possible spoilers!).
• Healing with items is nerfed. You've all had it too good for too long.
• Ramona's Self-Care B has been changed to Money Toss and is now learned at Level 5. In exchange for money, Ramona will do flat-damage to an enemy. If you're playing on an old save and if you're past level 5 but didn't learn Self-Care B yet, interacting with Uzbek will re-teach the skill.
• Ramona's upgraded skills from the church did not work. They now work as intended.
• I don't remember why I nerfed Devon's Swing for the Fences. It's now back to being as strong as Shut You Up.
• Devon's Pretend It's Not There applies the Safe status, which immunizes the target from getting inflicted with new status ailments.
• Kyrie's buff skill changed to buff evasion instead of defense, because a free defense buff was just too good. This is also to synergize with her evasive kit.
• Crocodile Tears slightly nerfed because it was actually kinda strong when combined with an attack buff.
• See You in Hell's damage was accidentally set to attack for as much as your max HP. It's now set at the intended damage of attack for half of your max HP.
• Using Devil Deal will now also destroy the Blasphemous Necklace, truly making the skill one-use. It's just too good of a skill.
