Update Version 1.024 | Various fixes
Hi trolls! The game just reached 6000 copies sold! I would have never thought this to be possible but you all have been so incredible! Thank you for playing the game and for reporting bugs! Keep 'em coming. Changes Added text feedback when pressing escape to make it easier to return to the menu. Added social media buttons to the menu. Bugfixes Rephrased rule 25 to be more clear. (even for troll standards this was too vague) Fixed an issue where the Altruist achievement would trigger when moving the black queen on a gift of knowledge during a legal move. Fixed an issue where gifts of knowledge would count towards the double and triple kill achievement. Fixed an issue where ascending pawns could be grabbed when fast enough. Fixed various spelling errors. (Both the troll and I suck at spelling / grammar) Again, thank you! - FinnRead full article on Community Announcements (finn.schuuring.gamedev)Patch NotesOfficial
Update Version 1.023 | The Gift Incident
Hello everyone! Wow we sure are having a lot of incidents in the first week! This week the gifts became really useful in speedruns due to an unforeseen bug caused by the previous patch. A lot of records were broken. But unfortunately this also made one of the endings far too easy to complete, which is not something that I wanted to leave in the game. (Sorry speedrunners!!!) Changes Added sound to the viewing of secret pages on the bridge in Act 2. Bugfixes Gifts of knowledge captures no longer count towards ascension ending. The ascension of black pawns no longer counts towards ascension ending. Fixed an issue where the goose could be grabbed while it swam underneath the bridge. Fixed an issue where units could be stuck to the goose while it swam underneath the bridge. Fixed a visual bug where pieces stuck to the goose, still flipped when a queen captured another piece. Fixed an error caused by the dialog box before scene changes. That's was all! Have fun! - FinnRead full article on Community Announcements (finn.schuuring.gamedev)Patch NotesOfficial
Update Version 1.022 | The Goose Incident
Hi everyone! It seems rule 33 turned out to be referring to both the troll AND the speedrunners. That goose really is evil! I am referring to the funny exploit that was found by Phoenix Flare, where they made their game window so wide they could immediately grab the goose and skip the entire chess game. It has been fixed now, but thanks for the laugh! In general I felt the goose ending was a bit too obtuse after hearing your feedback about it. So this patch I changed some things around. Let me know what you think of the changes! Changes Goose ending achiement name has been changed from "Animality!" to "Bon Voyage!". Goose ending is now easier to trigger. You can now also stick pieces on the goose while it is walking on the board, instead of only when it is swimming. Speedrun mode now always resets your run when you start instead of only when in act 1 or 2. Bugfixes Fixed an exploit where playing with a wide game window allowed players to grab the duck before it became active. (Thank you Phoenix Flare!) Gifts of knowledge now also trigger when being dropped while there is already another piece on the same tile. (Thank you Muu!) Fixed an issue where other rule breaks were ignored by the system when moving a gift. Fixed an issue where other rule breaks were ignored by the system when moving a castle. Fixed an issue where other rule breaks were ignored by the system when capturing the king with a queen. That's all for now. Have fun playing! - FinnRead full article on Community Announcements (finn.schuuring.gamedev)Patch NotesOfficial
Mac Hotfix
Hi again, It seems the Mac build got broken after previous update. There seemed to be an issue with the troll dialog box being unable to load dialog from the localization system. After recompiling the game again the issue fixed itself? Sorry to all users who were impacted by this! If the issue persists please let me know and I will investigate it as soon as possible. Thank you for your continued supportRead full article on Community Announcements (finn.schuuring.gamedev)
