- Version 0.7.11 - 7 July 2022
Welcome to version 0.7.11. Like a convenience store, it feels like this project never closes. What changed in this release: Added a playable goat Fixed some game-breaking bugs in the menu system Enjoy!
- Version 0.7.10 - 11 May 2022
Hey, folks! This patch release focuses on improving the VN system, and it may be Cave Confectioner's last release for a while. Notice the version number is 0.7.10. I thought a lot about that decimal, and it seems a small patch - yes I said it - a patch is better than waiting for a new major release with new content. Because the existing content still needed fixing. VN system changes: ADV-style dialogue advance Reskinned the UI Switched interaction to mouse-up Bug fixes Enjoy!
- Rolling out another patch - 1 April 2022
Fixed some deficiencies on the main menu.
- Version 0.7.9 released - 30 March 2022
Patch time! There are no new caves to explore yet, but we can certainly plunge into that next go-around. What changed in this release: Rewrote the VN engine to support crisper graphics and image buttons (as seen on the English main menu) The right joystick now moves the mouse cursor, allowing any in-game action to be performed with a controller (except text input) As a consequence of the above, there is no longer a key or button to switch to in-front-of-your-face selection mode (left joystick movement does that) Fixed a multiple selection bug on the trading screen
- Obligatory Steam Deck Discussion - 5 March 2022
Valve made a handheld system. While I would have designed it differently, the point is that it is capable of running Cave Confectioner, with some caveats. Cave Confectioner cannot currently *officially* support the Deck because it cannot be played entirely with a controller. For that to change, an on-screen keyboard needs to implemented. The layout is to be determined. Much of Cave Confectioner's codebase evolved into RSOD, which is designed to be fully playable with a controller when it launches. Cave Confectioner is still being maintained, and full controller support is still a possibility.
- Testing steamcmd - 13 February 2022
This isn't an actual update. Just streamlining the build process. Holler if your build suddenly breaks.
- Version 0.7.8 - 31 January 2022
Hey, folks! This is a patch to fix some things. Nothing major. Just to look like a "good developer" and update for you lot. What changed in this release: The rock border now extends all the way around the minimap The ambient light is now tinted yellow when raining Moved the crystal Improved scripting to allow sequence-breaking in game objectives Localized "Get closer" text
- Version 0.7.7 - 18 December 2021
Hey, folks! This update is all about the text. What changed: full Greek translation! (Thanks again DarkQuantum for all you have done in that area.) Added a system to translate in-inventory items to other languages (check out game/items.json; only Feather, Wood, Flour, and Grain translated for now) Changed trading string "You gain:" to "You will be payed:"
- Version 0.7.6 - 14 December 2021
Hey, folks! Here is a midweek update to catch everyone up to the development version. What changed: Preliminary Greek dialogue for the entire game, courtesy of DarkQuantum. We will probably give it the "all clear" by this weekend. Increased stack limit for all "horn" items to 9 Updated game controller DB
- Version 0.7.5 - 12 December 2021
Hey, folks! Here is yet another small patch release. What changed: New item: Gyro (Cooked Fillet + Frost Tack = Uncooked Gyro, Uncooked Gyro + Campfire = Gyro) The game pauses when the window loses focus The minimap no longer shows at the wrong times Bug fixes
- Version 0.7.4 - 6 December 2021
Hey, folks! This patch fixes some presentational issues. Think of it as cleaning up in case of guests. What changed: Eliminated pixel swimming in the minimap Bug fixes
- Version 0.7.3 - 5 December 2021
Hey, folks! Thanks to the recent and unexpected help of DarkQuantum, there is a little bit of renewed interest in this game as well as a couple new enemies in the works. For the time being, this patch release mainly just brings an important feature that has been requested a few times: the minimap. For those who don't know, a minimap is a little radar display in a video game that acts like a GPS. This game's implementation uses tile instancing to draw the bottom 2 layers of the map in a small framebuffer. (If this lags the game for you, it may be time to upgrade to a new computer. I am continually benchmarking and hope these features aren't a problem.) What changed: Minimap! Replaced the old crafting sound with the softer pick-up-item sound New items that currently do nothing: Stone Axe (Stone Axehead + Wood), Spear (Wood + Knife = Wood Rod, Wood Rod + Knife = Spear) Fixed a bug that cau…
- Version 0.7.2 - 2 December 2021
In the bowels of Steam, Lord Gaben forged a button, and into that button he poured his cakes, his malice, and his will to dominate all controls. One button to rule them all. E What changed: The interact button (usually the 'E' key) drops items, picks up items, interacts with what's in front of your character, interacts with menus, and more. New character: Mason, found in the brown region northwest of the ice cave entrance (only visible after you start a new game) Put multiple languages into one manual PDF
- Version 0.7.1 - 29 November 2021
Hey, folks! This is a patch release. What changed: Improved Greek translations (Thanks DarkQuantum!) Added a PDF manual, accessible from your Steam library (currently English and Greek) There is still no strategy guide, as that would spoil the surprises. Enough players have reached the Frost World that I should probably start dropping hints about the next major content area: the Crystal Cave.
- Version 0.7.0 - 28 November 2021
Hey, folks! This update is the culmination of a few weeks of post-relaunch patches. While there are no major gameplay changes, this release is the first I would call "polished". Greece is certainly a smaller market than CC's mains (currently the US, China, and Russia) but I guess it doesn't hurt to support Greek aside from time spent. The Greek font will not replace the current sans-serif font for English text. What changed in this release: Adjustments to sprites Added a conspicuous message to indicate when you eat something poisonous Added functional function functionality, almost doubling the size of the script parser Translated the tutorial to Greek People keep telling me that this pixel art stuff won't keep a studio afloat, so let's get right to it, a super secret unofficial game announcement: RSOD, coming "when it's done". If you like shooting, you like POSIX terminals, or you want…
- Version 0.6.5 - 20 November 2021
There is something like a full moon out tonight, and in the darkest corners of the world, the moon's light reflects off of human skin and produces werewolves. This is a new patch release with a layer of graphical polish. Tiles look better, and on the grain and the fenceposts at sunrise you can see a very natural-looking light creeping in. Rim lighting at sunrise, noon, sunset, and midnight (off): What changed Sprites now have specular rim lighting The sun angle now affects the light on particles Fixed a tile edge rendering problem that had haunted the code since 2018 Improved tree shadows Item bug fixes Started work on Greek translation (change language_code to el in the settings)
- Version 0.6.4 - 17 November 2021
Hey, folks! Here is another patch release. What changed (Hopefully) fixed a locale bug that caused saved games to fail in some regions Added console command: /fps Other bug fixes
- Version 0.6.3 - 16 November 2021
Saving issues that some users may have experienced are probably fixed. Also, the buggy multiplayer mode has been removed. If you are unable to save your game after this update, add the launch option: --savehere Supporting 3 different OS families whose vendors have completely different ideas about how standard features should work leads to 1 in 10 users having issues. Let's solve those issues. The support contact email is [email protected]. If you have any trouble, use it!
- Version 0.6.2 - 14 November 2021
Hey, folks! This devlog was just going to be a patch update, but looking at the changelog, I feel that v0.6.2 has a lot to put in your brain-hole. The special items that were previously given by timed drops are now given by characters. There are also improvements to particles, and other tweaks. What changed Special items granted by characters Improved rain and blood (3D lighting, particle-world collisions, increased particle count) For the sake of atmosphere, new games start off raining Darker nights Changed the title music Chinese language fixes Other dialogue changes Bug fixes
