Update #03

All eventsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

The new update is live, based on feedback from players.

  • Fixed an issue where the wrong sprites could appear when switching genres using the arrow buttons.

  • Fixed an issue where some Chinese text could get cut off.

  • Fixed a nasty bug that could crash the game when returning after writing under a pseudonym.

  • Long messages in the bug report window now fit much better after pressing Send. Yes, there is a bug report feature! You can find it on the second page of the Options menu.

  • Extremely popular books (far more popular than I ever expected anyone to manage) could hit the dreaded 64-bit limit. These values are now displayed as INF (infinite) instead of breaking. I may implement a better solution in a future update.

  • Fixed an issue where two cutscenes could trigger at the same time if you rediscovered a plot at the exact moment you finished writing your first book.

  • Books worth more than 10 quintillion are now displayed correctly.


I've also reduced the nonillion achievement to just a sextillion. This is working fine for most, but not for others. I'll see what I can do and hopefully release a new patch tomorrow.Thanks for writing!
