Hey Spellers,

Thanks to those who played and gave feedback! I’ve already started fixing some things and I also worked on some visual updates.

Please leave a review if you enjoyed the demo, it helps a lot!

Patch note - v0.0.21

Additions

• Wiktionaire show a message when no definition is found

Modification

• Typo in interest scroll
• Clearer message when reaching rate limit when submitting words
• Shop item containers don’t resize when they have less items to avoiding unnecessary movement
• Adjust tutorial text about chapters
• Adjust tutorial text about scrolls and items in shop
• Pause on focus loss defaults to false in new settings config
• Demo message shown at the beginning of the game doesn’t auto advance
• Controls in settings screen now have a background to be more visible
• Titlescreen is loaded by a thread in the background to smooth the loading
• Elements in Lexicopedia are spawned during multiple frames to smooth the scene loading
• Scrolls have a visuals on the shop and in game

Bugs

• Fix: pause button not responsive during tutorial
• Fix: game could get stuck paused when out of focus pause would trigger (this could cause the game to stay paused even when going back to titlescreen, thus hiding all ui elements)
• Fix: mouse offset on certain machine preventing from easily clicking on UI elements. I can’t reproduce it locally but I think I found the culprit. If you were experiencing the issue, please try this version

Investigating

I’m aware of a bug where the letters are not respawned correctly when loading a save. I’m investigating it and I’ll try to fix it asap. I’m also aware of a potential bug where the game saves even when you lose.

If you play, don’t hesitate to leave a comment and share ideas using the form.

Cheers, Eliptik
