happy social security day! on today's daily, all spells are your friend's ssn! again!

fixes, mostly for modders! Fixes - added a drop shadow to the spell completion ribbon - fixed randomize charge failsafe for spells that don't have a randomizable charge (prevents a crash if a spell that should not be esoteric somehow becomes esoteric) - fixed corkline tiles dropped in during fisher nobody fight having no type (not wood or plastic but a secret third thing... <null>!) - red clear…
some new final nobody dialogue, food for completionists, and more work towards mod support! yippee! Features - added a new nobody conversation for each character on red clearance... note that since these are story cutscenes, you'll only be able to see them on a non-seeded run with unlocks enabled! one last reward for the grind! - added a new nobody conversation for addict while holding pliers -…
update!! fun daily tomorrow!! whee!! Changes - the last daily of every month will now be a hazel clearance daily. good luck tomorrow, everyone! - additionally, the friend's ssn daily will now repeat every august 14th, on the anniversary of social security. how festive! - switched the game's font from Suwannaphum, a Khmer font that out of necessity happened to have a good ASCII character set, to…
some polish, save backups, and fixes. hopefully not too many more of these hotfixes before i go back to working on mod support and the boss update! Changes / Additions - gave xrafstar some killer new death sfx and other sound polish - added a sniff sound when snowball wipes his nose - added a simple save backup system that runs seamlessly in the background. if a file goes missing or winds up wi…
more little fixes associated with the recent update Changes - leaderboard now displays top 50 entries instead of top 20, as well as all friends and 25 above and below your own Fixes - fixed frozen ssn description saying "an frozen" instead of "a frozen" - fixed eternal tiles not being removed when strawman self-destructs - fixed friend's ssn usernames not being updated until reloading the leade…
hotfix!!! well it's for an issue that wouldn't happen until tomorrow. so it's like a precognitive hotfix..? Fixes - fixed forced spells on dailies being unable to get curses also i updated the game to godot 4.7.1. i was worried that this patch note would be too tiny being a one line fix so i'm glad that i have that to fill out space with. and this sentence i guess? well the one before that one.…
we are still hard at work on the boss update, but we've also been working on a pretty large patch with a lot of little goodies! Additions - added a sneaky new spell.. maybe you'll find it once or twice on tomorrow's daily! hint, hint (that's 7/20/2026, btw) Changes - buffed modern heart's charge type from "uncommon" letters to "very common" letters - buffed j/o permit's charge from 3 very commo…
i'm sorry that there aren't funny bits about new words in the little hotfix patches Additions / Changes - added a speedrun timer to the options menu as an alternative mode for the battle timer. it times the full run (playable time only) with precision to the hundredth of a second, and causes act and run summary times to be displayed at the same precision - doubled the number of flies around xra…
hotfix for oops Fixes - caps lock can now properly hit coal tiles if there are no other options and convert them to a random capital - fixed haze tiles not spreading (they used the effect priority system and i forgot to update them) - fixed visual issues with haze tiles that i'm pretty sure have been in the game since launch (color snapping instead of smoothly transitioning to blinking, not ret…
we're mostly focused on the new bosses now but there's still time for your regularly scheduled bugfixes Changes - tweaked the system enemies and spells that pick random tiles use to prioritize targeting certain statuses. mostly, things should remain similar to now, but there's a lot less granularity in replacement order when spells override neutral statuses, and enemies that place statuses with…
what a relaxing day with nothing of note happening. perfect time to spend 4 hours adding 4200 words to the dictionary. Changes - nerfed verification can's acid. wait you're telling me that's a spell and not an enemy? now converts the top row of tiles to acid, even if they're already acid, so you can use it multiple times in a row "safely". - many spells that previously did not work on coal tile…
cadence put me in the dumpster out back so she could write the last patch note but i'm baack Changes - wildcards will now prioritize Lump categories and deprioritize repeat words if playing a clearance that disallows them - fisher's nobody fight now has no preview row, seeing as it would never have any effect. (final boss) - corkline now directly adds a wildcard to the board in fisher's nobody…
Cadence here. Apparently people hated Milkworm? This kind of surprised me, since it was just a slightly remixed version of the Bookworm fight... In any case, it was one of the weakest shadows design-wise and we thought we could do better, so we did! Milkworm now inflicts tiles with “gunk,” which prevents them from falling and below tiles from being restocked. It’s a pretty similar concept to bu…
fixes Fixes - fixes an issue breaking tooltips in spell select - removed some invalid words, mostly typos made when adding to the dictionary Additions - daily runs are now indicated in game by the difficulty disk used for the menu button becoming a calendar
words words words words Changes - housebroken passcode is now prioritized when resolving wildcards - slashfic and dna tweezers unlocks must now be achieved in a single word (words separated by hole punch do not count) - slightly nicer "is not a word" warning Fixes - fixed clown cache being usable in spell select, which could lead to desynced spells on the same seed Words - 800+ new words - high…
Cadence here. Pronoun Palace released ten days ago. People love it and it sold really well. Yay! Here’s a look at some fun player stats we gathered through Steam: The rest of this article will be going over our plans for the game. TL;DR: Alternate bosses, challenges, and workshop support are (probably) on the horizon. I also ramble a bit at the end and show off a fraction of the incredible fan…
little things Additions / Changes - MBA nerf: can no longer submit repeat words on Cerulean Clearance+ - added a new on-key sucking sound for filter feeder - added a floating away sound for noppy Fixes - changed '"X" is not a word!' to '"X" is not a word! (Or it's proper.)' to clarify that proper words are not allowed - fixed some quotes that weren't sufficiently fancy - fixed bug spray settlin…
back to your regularly scheduled programming Fixes - changed "will cancel the attack" in parry description to "will cancel the enemy's attack", and "Attack will be cancelled by" when a word is spelled that will parry the enemy to "The enemy's attack is being cancelled by" - on the last difficulty, rerolling the board will now create no plastic tiles - fixed addict nobody's concentration attack…
the big one! btw the reason i'm skipping numbers is because there are secret patches and you can't have them the big change in this update is the new save format. the game can now detect and notify you about corrupted saves instead of just crashing, and even tell you which files exactly are corrupted. i'm also now saving files in a much safer way (writing them to a temp file then copying them o…
slowing my roll a little. small fixes while i figure out save stuff Fixes - fixed steam achievements not being granted for overall difficulty progression (you should get them automatically when you relaunch) - fixed clicking on speech bubbles blocking mouse input / not progressing them - fixed a visual error with "Achievements Disabled" text when disabling achievements after playing a daily run
this patch is mainly a stopgap fix for a rare issue some users have had with save corruption. i've added a new hotkey, CTRL+SHIFT+9, which can be used in the save select menu to set your save file's achievements from your steam achievements. if your save becomes corrupted, this should allow you to recover most of your progress, save for spell / word stats and phonebook data. the central issue h…
little patch today i'm exhausted need a little rest Fixes - fixed being able to click spells really fast in spell select to select multiple of them - fixed a softlock when submitting words with red tape - fixed submitting with mba not disabling laced until the word submission is complete - typo in pentameter description (said "with a (JKL)" instead of "with a 5 (JKL)") - changed delete button t…
stay to the end for the punchline Additions - added a max fps setting, defaults to 120. sorry for running your gpus ragged i don't think the game really benefits from running at 250 fps that much Fixes - fixed t gel removing hole tiles that used to have an e on them - red letter and twelve gauge clay now count as won with when you win a run with a spell they have transformed / transformed into…
it feels unnatural if i don't say something at the top here QOL / Additions - clover can now merge wildcards and numbers, picking the most common bigram/trigram you can spell with them. - added a sound for vampire teleporting away Fixes - fixed housebroken bopping to every third beat, which doesn't actually fit the song at all. now bops to every fourth beat like god intended. - fixed salt's las…
that's right this goes up to 10 babyy Balance - nerfed age regressor: health [28, 32, 36, 40] > [26, 28, 30, 34] - buffed trauma core: damage now the same as age regressor, health remains the same as old age regressor - buffed traffic: npcs now have 4 hp each instead of 3. slightly reduced traffic's overall health to compensate. Fixes - eightball no longer removes hole tiles when rerolling the…
is it normal for games to have this many patch notes am i committing a faux pas? Fixes - fixed a crash when removing tiles from the word builder at the same moment as the addict's timer runs out - fixed letter stamp, razor blade, and fingerprints being able to reveal mystery tiles - fixed letter stamp being usable on slashed tiles (creating invalid tiles) - fixed foreign body being able to crea…
time for another end of day patch! Additions / QOL - added a new nobody conversation for trans lexicographer (final boss spoilers) - added a setting to disable repeat nobody dialogue (ditto) - added win streak viewing for the final clearance to the stats menu Fixes - fixed shooting a bomb in the word builder with a live round softlocking the game. it now explodes as it was meant to. - fixed nob…
