V43: Blinks & Bantz

Sternly Worded Adventures Demo · published 21 Sep 2024, 01:19 UTC

All eventsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

This is mostly fixes, but it does include over 400 new words, which are mostly most of the new new additions to Collins Scrabble Words for 2025, including 'bantz', excluding about 190 new CSW words that failed my personal criteria for inclusion, with the rest being from missing word reports. Other 'content' additions include about half of the character roster being able to blink, and have the sturdy belt represented on them, and the adventurer being able to be bald and also having the runed gear be represented on them.

UI:

  • Exposed windowed resolution to config.
  • Windowed resolution now set on launch to 90% of desktop resolution if it's the same size or larger.
  • Added a one time message about the fact that the game auto-saves.
  • Added a one time message that the demo ends when you get to a level 4 area on the demo.
  • Pressing on either item bar on the pregame screen takes you directly to the screen to re-arrange/re-equip them.
  • The craft button now has a glow behind it when it can be used.

Overworld:

  • Fixed the music not restarting after combat until it would change.
  • Fixed the player wagon not turning into a raft if they manage to get on water.
  • Darkened the player wagon, and set the 'canopy' of the wagon to the player shirt/robe colour.
  • Fixed being able to trigger the anomaly event from inside a sub-world, causing a crash.

Items:

  • Fixed not being able to take the arbitrarily hard brick multiple times. For reals this time.
  • Reworded refreshing water to remove the word 'cumulatively', and outright say that you can use it multiple times a turn on the 'water bottle' version of the item.

Enemies:

  • Boss fire elementals no longer indefinitely sustain your life at the brink of death with legal but 0-scoring tiles.
  • Fixed hanging spiders giving untelegraphed attack tiles when knocked down from hanging.

Character sprites:

  • Characters now blink on the start menu and class selection screen, if able.
  • Added blink and belt layers to halfling, woodsman, warrior, assassin, and paladin.
  • Fixed 'load' on the sprite test screen not correctly loading your hair if you're not in combat.
  • Adventurer:
  • Added layers for the runed bracelet and runed circlet.
  • Added bald layer.
  • Eyepatch now draws the full strap over the base hair and bald.
  • Belt is now a layer enabled by the sturdy belt.

Words:

  • Added around 400 of the around 600 words that will be newly Scrabble legal in 2025.
  • UwU and OwO still requires the book of UwU item to use.
  • Added: fupa, fupas, slack-jawed, metagame and derived terms, awa, zouave and zouaves, squabbier and squabbiest.
  • Added fapper and fappers to the curses dictionary.
  • Removed umpteenth and related from the curses dictionary.

Definitions:

  • Changed the definition of bruh from 'rhesus macaque' to the more commonly accepted interjection.
  • Changed the definition of cath to refer to inserting a catheter rather than a clipping of cathode.
  • Changed the definition of fap from an obsolete form of 'drunk' to the more commonly accepted one.
  • Changed the definition of nerf from the motor racing term to the video games term.
  • Removed the example from the definition of overbar.
  • Removed 'see appendix' text from the definition of my.
  • Improved the definition of un.
  • Fixed an issue if a 'form of' definition specified a subsection, rendering that subsection as part of the word. Affected 30 words.
