Game Development: Gongalong!

Haven & Hearth · published

We've been developing, and here's what's new.

New Implementations
-----------------------

  • Added "Gong Stand", a decorative "instrument"/piece of furniture. Right-click to activate, and right-click again to whack. No two metal types sound quite alike!

Key Fixes
-----------------------

  • Reworked the crafting input selector a bit. Input slots are now highlighted in red if they lack input. You can hover over an input slot to highlight the item currently selected for it. You can left-click an input slot to get a cursor with which you can point at the input you would like to use for the slot. Noticed that e.g. alchemy recipes were quite unwieldy to craft.
  • Did more work on the "Alchemy Book". Negative effects are now properly displayed. You can now filter your elixir list on effects and/or inputs. There is now a separate page which lists known effects on primitive alchemical inputs. (Some outstanding things left to fix: Favorites, ingredient entries for processed inputs, distinction between wound conversion and wound healing. The two pages in the book currently borrow icons from the Character Sheet.).
  • Fixed a bug by which it was possible to bypass the give-hat-away timers by using Valhalla. The give-hat-away timers are now counted in objective UTC time, rather than server time. All give-away-hat timers have been removed, so if you had initiated donation of a hat, you will now have to redo that. Apologies.

Small Fixes
-----------------------

  • "Salt Crystal"s, "Curious Needle"s, "Ant Chitin", "Cave Louse Chitin", and "Ant Wing"s now all stack, and can be held in the "Poacher's Pouch".
  • Queen Ant/Bee Wings, and all "Bugs", can be held in the "Poacher's Pouch".
  • Fixed a bug by which dragging the map caused Thinwall connections to blink.


As always, if you liked what we did here: Support the patch.

Today's Patch Item, for the fair price of $7, is the "Dino Cap".

$7

This Jurassic fashion statement stands ready to put a cap on any mammalian supremacy plans!

All Gold & Silver subscribers have been awarded the "Dino Cap", free of charge.
