Customisation changes

• change the right hand to show all the time instead of just when having cards in hand

• changes the left and right hands to change colour depending on current skin colour customisation setting

• changes the no smoking setting to only visually prevent smoking but still leave the cigarette as selected customisation if it is selected - means you can swap the setting back and forth without having to also change the customisation

Foresight changes

Make the foreseen card more visible by:

• reducing the opacity of the purple mask

• increasing the size of the preview, especially in top left and bottom right corners

• reducing the opacity and value of the eye background colour

Go Fish changes

• Improves Go Fish event to be a more consistent reward pool and to not be so confusing as to what is happening on-screen

More consistent reward pool:

• get first set of cards from player's deck

• get second set of cards from Gamblers decks (pooled from Tavern, Lounge, VIP Area)

• reduce to 8 pairs in total and 4 cards held in each hand

Not so confusing:

• move cards to a discard pile on the right side of the event instead of burning them

• change mid-event dialogue to show the full message immediately which helps a lot with the timing of the event

• tweaks to the order of moving cards around to make the event more readable

• move first cards from owner's deck positions instead of dealer position to make it clearer where they came from

• better timing to show event description label

• better text and layout for event description label

• better draw pile visuals and prevent the player from viewing the draw pile with "no peeking" dialogue and error sfx

Cool stuff:

• show the customised hand and accessory in Go Fish

• improve the way cards in hand are spread in Go Fish

• resort the hands if the card taken was from the centre of the pile

• show cards in Gambler's hand upside down hehehehe

Other improvements

• adds sound effects for the end of round damage animations

• adds a short delay after flipping cards on a few events now that flipping cards is much faster (Tavern Counterfeiter, Dungeon Counterfeiter, Have a Drink)

• progressively damages the Loyalty Card art as more stamps are added

• the left hand moves in and out of view now instead of just appearing when cards added to hand

• smoking visuals are now changed immediately when changing the Smoking Allowed setting

• removes the requirement to save a portrait before opening the portrait file location

• improves the localised description for Jimbo

**Bug fixes**

• fixes a bug where a Glitched Card rolled Wheel of Fortune X, which then drew a Glitched Card that turned into a The Lovers VI, resetting the original Glitched Card back to a default Glitched Card before it could tell the game it had finished its effect, and softlocking the encounter

• fixes a bug where the partyhorn sound effect would not play if you were using the Birthday Deck while having the right hand accessory customised to a non-partyhorn option

• fixes a bug where dialogue box could show up really big if dialogue shown twice quickly

• fixes a bug where Proxy Card text and background could show up on other cards in Slot Machine Shop after Proxy Card had been shown once

• fixes a bug where you could quit while final boss dialogue still open and continue to get one more card reward

• fixes a bug where a Red Card would be shown in your deck on the victory screen if your deck contained a Yellow Card

• fixes visual bugs when Glitched Card rolled Jack in a Box and Flash Card

Bug fixes

• fixes a crash when launching the game in English while system language was a non-English language

• fixes a crash when changing the language to English while system language was a non-English language

A word from the devs:

We're very sorry for wasting your time and delivering a frustrating experience on what was supposed to be a fun celebration of 1 year of D&DG. We feel we have let down our international players who were excited to play the Anniversary Update. We can only apologise, and we'd like to explain how this happened and what we are doing to avoid these kinds of issues in the future.

v1.3.4 -> v1.4

In this update we upgraded the engine version from Godot 3.6 to Godot 4.4.1. The upgrade was major (it took us 2 full days of work to even get the game to successfully launch!) and in particular the whole font and theming system was changed and we had to rewrite the way that D&DG changed languages.

One of the complications of D&DG being a pixel art game is that we need to be able to swap fonts depending on your language. For example fonts with accent characters, or Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic characters all need to have specific fonts to make sure text stays pixel perfect and readable. The system to swap fonts depending on language like this is called "remapping".

After the upgrade to Godot 4 the default export setting meant that these remapped fonts weren't being correctly exported to the version that you play on Steam. This was the reason why in v1.4 the fonts displayed wrong, or at the wrong size.

v1.4 -> v1.4.1

We changed the export setting which meant that all the fonts and their remaps were correctly being exported!

At this stage if you launched the game on a computer with English as the system language you could swap between all languages and all of the fonts displayed correctly. You could also launch the game in (for example) Spanish if your system language was Spanish.

But the export now working exposed a problem where we were still using the old Godot 3 remapping system for two of the fonts. Now that the fonts and remaps were being exported, this collision of two different remap systems caused the game to crash when you swapped to English if the game had started in another language (like it would if your system language wasn't English).

v1.4.1 -> v1.4.2

This update fixes the issue by changing those two specific fonts to be remapped the same way as all other fonts.

Our learnings for future development

We had done extensive in-editor testing in all the supported languages during the development of v1.4, but the remap issue in v1.4 was only appearing in the exported version (not the in-editor version) since the problem was caused by incorrect export settings.

What is now clear is that we needed to be doing as much play testing as possible on the exported version (the version players will get on Steam) rather than in-editor. We'll ensure that this happens for all future updates so that we don't cause these types of problems again.

Sorry again, and we hope you can now enjoy the new update!

Thanks for all the support, see you in the tavern soon.
