V29: Proto-challenge mode


This update brings with it a quick and dirty challenge mode in the extras menu, a bunch of fixes, and changes to some tutorial messages and tooltip text to make some mechanics more explicit to new players and improve the new player experience.

Explicit rewards for the challenges are planned, but not currently implemented.

Additions

  • Added a proto challenges mode.
  • Added a flag to censor the credits for the steam version.
  • Added word selfie and selfies.
  • Added lit to fire dictionary.
  • Added an info button to the rpg screen.
  • Added headings to status and info effects below the player and enemy health bars.
  • Added highlight effects for deft and adapt passives.
  • Added a face scarf graphic for assassin sprite.
  • New events:
    • Stump blocking secret path
    • Highwayman
  • New items:
    • Sonder bookmark
    • Curse of wood
  • Sprite test screen now has more control options.

Changes

  • Changed the "reinvigorate yourself" tutorial to explicitly state 'overkill heals you'.
  • Changed the tooltips tutorial to remove the actual example tooltip text, so the focus is on the fact that tooltips exist rather than the content of the given examples.
  • Changed the text of the woodsman event to make it more clear that there's still an adventure to be had there.
  • Changed the woodsman stock list to include 1 less random variant of antivenom and include 1 cheap health potion.

Fixes

  • Fixed shrine keyboard input not correctly sanitising non-lower-case-Latin text.
  • Fixed a sort-of race condition that meant that eulogising a character that was in a run overwrote the stats file from that run with the stats from that character.
  • Fixed word selection info not updating on drinking a gold leaf potion or potion of clueless wisdom.
  • Fixed gilded leaf teabag causing a crash if it fails to find a tile to gild.
  • Fixed enemy damage estimate not updating after throwing a black label courage potion.
  • Fixed typo in attack button tooltip.
