0.47.4292 - Quality of Life

Vinculike (18+) - Prototype
A downloadable game for Windows, Linux, and Android

A bunch of random improvement and fixes.

First of all I’ve finally managed to track down the rare but annoying crashing when clicking too quickly on inventory buttons. It is still not fixed, but now it will just log an error instead of crashing :D

Second annoying issue fixed is that Wisps could quickly overwhelm the player character if there were other monsters around that didn’t allow dispatching Will’o’wisps quickly. Now they’ll despawn after 10-20 seconds, preventing from accumulating in huge numbers. Also sometimes player couldn’t properly hit wisps and used stealth attacks that hit only one opponent instead of regular attacks that allow to clear larger groups of monsters faster.

And the third important thing - as now walking nude takes a severe toll on player character’s willpower, the damage done by forced disrobing is significantly reduced to keep willpower at balance with health.

Changelog:

  • Minion monsters (only wisps for now) can despawn after some time: wisps now live 10-20 seconds. Fixes issue when in a bad luck those can overwhelm the player character completely.
  • Workaround issue when inventory buttons were not always in ready state when pressed (and game crashed, now it will just show an error message - it’s not a proper fix yet)
  • Significantly reduce disrobing damage to willpower (to counter current penalties for walking around nude)
  • New map type: Circles 12x12
  • 2 new tilesets
  • Fix wisps sometimes being “unsuspecting” even when actively attacking player character
  • Fix inability to change action on an item (e.g. equip the item while in process of repairing it)
  • Randomize notifications delays, avoid showing them simultaneously
  • Thief now will play attack sound even when steals items in sleep
  • Small fixes to vinculopedia
  • Small fixes to UI buttons placement
  • Fix binder slime still reinforcing knots if the character was sleeping
  • Upgrade Castle Engine: fix several potential issues on some ATI Radeon drivers for Windows.
