Hello there!
After the 1.10 improving things behind the scene, 1.20 is about improving things on the scene.
Version 1.20:
- The main menu has been widened to allow labels twice as large. It will not affect performance. In fact, the textures have been optimized to be even slightly lighter.
- Expanded the language options by adding Japanese, Polish, Korean, Italian, and Dutch to the game, and Re-translated the entire game for the other languages.
- Added the Customizable Board, which allows players to mix and match all unlocked parts during a Custom Game. The actual boards found in museums vary in size, so for the purpose of the game, the selected pieces (pawns and dice) are scaled to fit the chosen board. This new feature offers a unique and personalized gameplay experience that I hope you will enjoy.
- Added an arrow on the House of Beauty on the Tutorial Board to better show that you can exit a pawn from here on a roll of 5.
- Modern Board :: You can now play a regular custom game using the tutorial board. Rules written on Aaru are masked and the default dice of the board is the Knucklebones.
- Inlaid Board :: New shader for the faience tiles, which adds a light glass effect.
- Wooden Board :: Updated the main Texture to contrast a little more the houses.
- Ivory Board :: Doubled the actual model size to increase the quality of the cascaded shadows on it, which are size-dependent.
- Ebony Board :: Now has several variant of pawns like other boards.
Side notes:
- Please note that with the introduction of the Customizable Board, there are now 4096 possible combinations. While I have tested the feature extensively, it's possible that some combinations may have slipped through the cracks. So, please don't hesitate to let me know if you come across any issues or anomalies, and I'll do my best to fix them as quickly as possible.
- If you come across anything else that seems unusual or out of the ordinary after the recent update, please don't hesitate to report it in the comments below as well. I will look into the issue as soon as possible and take any necessary steps to resolve it.
- Senet is a no-budget indie game and a one-man show. I do the translations mainly on the belief that something is better than nothing. If you happen to notice any errors or mistakes in the translations, I would be extremely grateful if you could report them in the comments below. As a native speaker, your input is incredibly valuable in helping me improve the game for all players. Thank you for your support and feedback!
