Final Prep for Amazon: New Oracles, Big Fixes, and Cozy Comforts Await!

We’re excited to bring you a minor update for Solitaria, but don’t let the term “minor” fool you—this update is packed with major improvements that will enhance your island adventures. As we prepare for our upcoming Amazon launch, here’s what’s new and improved for Edition 2.1:


🌟 New Features & Improvements

1. More Oracles for Richer Storytelling

We’ve expanded the Oracles system to bring more depth to your journey. Now, you can explore:

  • Reasons for incomplete goals
  • New challenges or conflicts
  • Emotional or internal responses
  • Misunderstandings tied to your backstory

These additional Oracles will give you richer, more varied prompts to shape your island story in meaningful ways.

2. Enhanced Goal System

We’ve improved how you track and resolve goals. Now, when completing a goal, you can mark it as:

  • Success
  • Failure
  • Unsure

Additionally, we’ve clarified how to determine a successful or failed goal, offering more guidance so you can feel confident in the outcomes of your character’s achievements (or setbacks!).

3. Polished Text & Instructions

We did a deep dive into the game’s text and:

  • Fixed typos, grammar errors, and vague instructions
  • Improved clarity across abilities, actions, and game instructions

Everything now reads smoother and clearer, ensuring a seamless experience as you navigate Solitaria’s world.

4. Layout & Visual Enhancements

We’ve addressed some layout issues to create a more visually cohesive and welcoming gamebook. Plus, we’ve added:

  • Featured images to bring more life to the pages
  • New patterns to divide sections, making it easier to follow along

5. Race Adjustments

Based on player feedback, we’ve made a few changes to the available races:

  • Demon has been renamed to Fiend
  • Halfling has been replaced by the Elf race

These changes will better align with the lore and magical atmosphere of Solitaria.

6. More Home “Comfort” Unlockables & Furniture Crafting

Your home on the island just got cozier! We’ve added more comfort unlockables, and you can now craft furniture to customize your space even further. Your home truly becomes a sanctuary that reflects your journey.


🔮 What’s Next?

As we get closer to our Amazon launch, we’re focused on doing a final quality check and ensuring everything is polished to perfection. We can’t wait for you to dive into all the new content and enjoy a smoother, richer experience.

Thank you for your continued support and love for Solitaria! Your feedback has been essential in shaping these updates, and we’re eager to keep building this magical world alongside you.

Stay tuned for more updates, and see you on the floating islands! 🌸

With cozy vibes,
The Solitaria Team
