Game updated to 1.2_20240221 version

The Darkness Below
A downloadable game

v1.2 -> v1.3 (2024-02-20)

  • fixed: bug where an item behind a chest would cause both the action of handling the chest (open chest/get item) and also taking the item behind the chest. Now, chest actions take priority.
  • fixed: bug where a consumed potion didn't shown the spell effect on selected character but always on caster.
  • fixed: bug in title where the title won't animate when it had to shown again i.e. through 'Quit to Menu' option.
  • fixed: bug where the 'Wizard's Laboratory' in Plaimere Wilds wouldn't be loaded, after exposing the Wizard in Brentsoll Mine (bad name in data files)
  • fixed: bug where the use of some potions (i.e. potion of cure poison), were causing some error logs, although not crashing the game.
  • fixed: multiple bugs in save system (thanks @chris1873)
  • fixed: bug in sound system which didn't respected sfx/music volume set in options. It started happening when I introduced on-demand sounds i.e. sound data that is loaded/played on demand and released in the end.
  • added: small boost of performance in interior maps
  • added: a new wall feature 'bannertext', which acts like the typical crawler plaques / signs i.e. an event with a text is shown when one clicks on that banner
  • added: a number of animated props like static and movable spells, magic fields, teleporters etc., increasing the puzzle and interaction levels. In addition, these props can also trigger their own events i.e. damaging the party.
  • added: a puzzle in 'Cult of Wizards, Hideout' area, using the newly added animated props
  • added: a small lever puzzle in 'Tomb of the Dreamer' area and some lore, using the newly added animated props
  • added: additional content in various areas (content, puzzles etc.)
  • added: refactored the map format to allow handling and event triggers on more layer types i.e. features (paintings, banner text etc.), trees etc.
  • added: major graphical overhaul of the UI system to be more consistent with the overall pixelart style.
