[Preview] Upcoming v1.4.4 Features - TOTK Randomizer

I am happy to present Version 1.4.4 of the TOTK Randomizer! This update adds a new hardcore option called "Punitive Death+", which expands the existing Punitive Death option by additionally removing Vows and core abilities on death. Refining gameplay changes, optimizations and bugfixes are included in this update too!

As I mentioned, a new hardcore option called "Punitive Death+" has been added which additionally removes all Vows and core abilities such as the Paraglider, Purah Pad, Energy Cell, Ultrahand, etc. on death (expanded version of Punitive Death). This is a toggleable miscellaneous option for even riskier gameplay. Please note that you have to enable the regular Punitive Death option first to be able to enable this new Punitive Death+ option in the miscellaneous options menu.

As for changes, the chance to spawn randomized animals and enemies is now slightly lower (from 7.5% to 6.25% chance per second) to reduce actor bloat. Also, made it so that if a location name is incoming while a Zonai text announcement is being displayed in the middle of the screen, the Zonai text announcement is closed to prevent UI overlapping and made it so that if in rare cases a Zonai text announcement and location name are displayed at the same time, the Zonai text announcement now lies on top of the location name instead underneath.

As for bugfixes, a bug has been fixed where the Randomizer Emblem was missing in the ability wheel when the Teleportation prohibition was enabled and a bug has been fixed where the last Dragon Tear cutscene with the Light Dragon was not playing and the game froze on the spot.

As for optimizations, a lot of unnecessary code has been removed - namely 111 action nodes, 40 function calls, 20 functions, 14 event entries, 9 query nodes and 3 event entry references.

🌟 I hope you are looking forward to this update! I will be streaming the update this Friday and Saturday on my YouTube channel to both showcase it and to make sure there are no issues before releasing it on Sunday.
