Patch NotesOfficial
Distant Dials is now available in 1.2 version!
Distant Dials is now available in 1.2 version! This version provides some bug and trad fixes as well as a better code formatting and file organization. The main feature introduced is an offline mode allowing to play a truncated (shorter and less difficult) version of the game without a server. This update is of course free and from now on the game itself will be at a cheaper price on both Steam (0,99$) and Itch.io (1$). For those who want to host their own server to play online, you can find more infos on https://distant-dials.eu. With this update, the game is as complete as it can get and I’m focusing on my next project (a Godot framework to make multiplayer text-based RPGs). See ya!Read full article on Community Announcements (F4stlane)
