Hi all. More bugfixes/tweaks today! Not much to say other than that; if you missed yesterday's update it'd be a good idea to check it out, since it's a fairly significant one! Otherwise, let's get into today's changes.

ELEPHANTASY: FLIPSIDE v1.4.1 PATCHNOTES

• Fixed a bug involving using portals and dashing in the Lighthouse. You will now immediately stop dashing when entering a portal.
• Tweaked ghost spawning; this was originally going to be in yesterday's update, but I forgot, so I put it in this one instead. Previously, ghosts wouldn't appear in the world until you talked to Death once in the underworld. Because this was annoying to some players, they'll now be out in the world regardless.
• Tweaked how items are saved. This should help mitigate losing progress in the event of a game crash.
• Tweaked the tutorial/early game. Now Polnareff the parrot will fly in the direction of the Needle Chamber whenever you enter a room. Hopefully this, in addition to the existing hints from Ludos, will help new players figure out where to go.
• Fixed a false-positive room border in Trench Chasm. Note that this change will only affect new save files; if you're playing on a file from before this update, this change will not apply to you unless you start a new game.
  
• UPDATE: Removed the tweaked tutorial and simply changed the color of the Needle Chamber doorway. I wasn't particularly happy with the changes, and honestly, I liked the start of the game just fine, so we're back to square one. I will not be changing the tutorial further.
  
• UPDATE: Changed how respawning after drowning works.
• UPDATE: Fixed a bug where you could call Polnareff during a certain cutscene, causing issues with saving.
• UPDATE: Tweaked two rooms in the ruins to avoid a softlock. Note that this change will only affect new save files; if you're playing on a file from before this update, this change will not apply to you unless you start a new game.
  
• UPDATE: Fixed the wall jump tutorial NPC after the 1.4 changes to props bouncing off of walls. After a pep talk, they now have a spring in their step once again.
• UPDATE: Fixed bug where Rocky and Duke wouldn't spawn normally without talking to Death, as a holdover from before the above change to ghost spawning was implemented.
  
• UPDATE: Fixed bug with respawning after dying in the room Aquarium. Previously, dying in the room without the bubble item would cause the player to respawn infinitely in the previous room, since it wasn't considered a valid respawn point. Now players will respawn in the last valid respawn room they were in.
