Happy New Year! After a complaint that the game was not very playable using 4K monitors, I added an additional screen setting for 3840x2160. The engine the game was made on, while not strictly predating 4K monitors, was not really made with them in mind - as they were only an extremely high end luxury items at that time. So, apparently full screen does not work too well with them. I also added…
Updates??? Updates!?!? That's right! To celebrate three years of It's A Wipe! being on Steam I put together a new Player Made Raid for the occasion! This raid is intended for guilds that have beaten the game and are solidly geared. Anyone that farmed a ton might find it a little on the easy side, but new guilds will wipe pretty quickly. Why a Player Made Raid, instead of a new core raid that dr…
Happy Memorial Day! Been playing It's A Wipe! again recently and found a couple minor things that could use fixing :) Here's what is fixed in 1.9.9: ---------------- * What Time Is It? * - Fixed an issue with the save game date index. Apparently the engine was using some odd time calculation based off the run time since last startup. Changed it to actually be the system time. * Get Back In Line…
Hello All, A few bug fixes have been applied, so I thought that I would roll it up into a nice set of patch notes for anyone that doesn't read the forums :) Also, one updated button graphic! Here is what is new in 1.9.8 1/2: ---------------- * Unintended Iron Man * - Fixed (hopefully!) an issue where the new save file index, added in the last patch, was not building correctly for new installs c…
Hello All, A few improvements to the game, mainly relating to save game sorting and the demo for player made raids. Here's the full list of what is new in 1.9.8: ---------------- * Saving Time * - Save games will now log the date and time that they are saved into a separate index. The newest saves will now be displayed at the top of the list when loading a new game. The first time the game load…
Hello All, After a LOT of play testing over the New Year holiday we have made a few small corrections to issues that we found. There's also a couple minor tweaks for clarity and ease of use, mainly focused around the Log window. Here's what's new in 1.97: ---------------- * Logs, Down & to the Right * - Adjusted the size and position of the log window, and the button that opens it. The log butt…
If you've been following the forum discussion you may have seen that, in response to some requests for more options to play with no morale, we're adding a new game mode! In playtesting, we also came across a few minor things that should be addressed in this patch. Here's the full list of changes: ---------------- * BOTS - Now Hard * - A new HBOTS (Heroic/Hard Bots) has been added. Morale is dis…
Hello All, Posting this up a little earlier than the actual anniversary, but we wanted to get some of the big changes we've been working on out to everyone. The biggest item is that this patch introduces a way to make player created raid content and upload it to a Steam Workshop. It's a little rough around the edges, but we hope to refine it time goes on and we get feedback from users. There is…
Hello All, One big change that should hopefully fix an issue some people have had with the game not loading properly. Apparently the engine would crash out with some graphics cards when doing a check to see if it was Direct 3D compatible. In this build, it now only checks for D3D compatibility if OpenGL fails or Force Direct 3D has been set. Other than that, a minor fix for viewing character ar…
Hello All! Sorry for the long time between updates, but I've been distracted with other people's nice games and starting work on a more serious take on a fantasy guild management game. No ETA on when that will be done (It's A Wipe! took two years to make), but I decided to take a little break and do some work on I.A.W! Here is what's new in 1.9.3: -----------------------------------------------…
Hello All, Most of these fixes were stealth patched over the past couple of months, but finally calling it a new build :) Here is what is new in build 1.9.2: ------------ *Sound Off/Sound On* - Fixed an issue where the sound would sometimes not be re-enabled after the game was paused by alt-tabbing when tabbing back. *No More Multiple Personalities* - Fixed an issue where creating your characte…
Hello All, A few small clean ups to the renaming functionality added in the last patch. Calling this one 1.9.1 since it's so small. What's new in this version: *Name Space* - Added in restrictions to the length of the name fields to match the typical player/character name lengths. *Who IS That?* - Added a class display under the names, and tool tips on the selections that display some basic inf…
Hello All, A couple of requested enhancements making their way out for the public! Here's what is new in version 1.9: ------------ *The Name Game* - You may not rename characters (and players) when starting a new game. There is also a Rename Scroll available for purchase that will let you perform a rename for all characters on a game in progress. (Except your character for some technical reason…
Hello All, A few changes (hopefully improvements) to the game based on feedback. There are still a couple of larger updates that I want to do, and some of these changes are part of that... but, I also wanted to post an update before too long :) Here is what is new in version 1.86: *Less Stupid Bards* - Bards will now cast more appropriate songs to the situation... sometimes. Generally you will…
Hello All, Doing a small patch to address one issue, with a couple small tweaks thrown in! Not exactly a lot of changes, so we're calling this one Version 1.8 1/2 (1.85). Here's what's new: *Longer Sessions Should Stay Running* - After a lot of testing, finally found an issue where the game would often crash when it tried to clean the log of game activities - which was when it hit around 10,000…
Hello All! We have posted up a small patch with one big enhancements, and a couple minor tweaks. Here are the details: *Raid Reset Options* - When starting a game you can now choose to have raids reset on a daily or weekly basis. If you wipe with the Weekly Reset option, it will start from the fight you lost on when attempting the raid again - until the week ends. We originally didn't add this…
Hello All! With most of the bugs reported addressed, we have started looking at adding some more quality of life improvements. We plan on doing further semiregular updates over the next couple of months to try to knock out some of the enhancements that we can do without needing lots of new art or major reworks... Then, we'll take a look at what we can do for those :) The next patch will focus o…
