Casino fact

Version 1.08

Bug Fixes

- 3 targeting bugs that could cause the game to crash.

Changes

- revamped the levelling up system. It now only requires 10% more experience for the next level instead of doubling each time. This means the experience available from enemies is now more evenly (and sanely) distributed.

Version 1.07

Bug Fixes

- experience star turns map red. Thanks cjfcjfjc.
- game crashes upon restart if you die with no save game

Changes

- update copyright notice. Thanks Darren.

Version 1.06

Additions

- References in Ulin's Army Summon speech now change according to which layout you're using. Thanks Stebbins.

Version 1.05

Bug Fixes

- Dwarf Towers no longer show up blue on minimap
- Only need to clear endRoom to win game

Version 1.04

Bug Fixes

- [bug_179][bug_173] - Dwarf Tower and Dwarf not showing up as blue on minimap. Thanks cardb0ard, Bulldogg6406.
- Berlin teleporting out too early (could be triggered by ghosts, hydras)
- [bug_42] - Skeletons attacking top rather than base of Dwarf Tower. Fix means that all melee characters now attack the base of all oversized enemies. Fix may also slow down the game. Thanks Carefree_Butterfly.

Version 1.03

Bug Fixes

- naturalMelee enemies now hit dwarf towers. (fangBunny, hydra2, hydra3, karateGuy, kongFuChicken) Thanks red_dot
- Goblins now attack karateGuys. Thanks red_dot.
- Script error generated by releasing spell as script begins. Thanks W_G_Master and gibstor.

Version 1.02

Changes

- Credit for Berlin music changed to Micheal Sartin-Tarm. Thanks to Noam Bergman.

Bug Fixes

- King (and other actors) now included in save game
- Charging a blast and releasing it during the first second of dialogue no longer results in being able to move around without cancelling script. This in turn prevents the king following you around to different screens. Thanks to Carefree_Butterfly, cjfcjfjc, Donut, Noam Bergman, PJC, robert v 3.0, stuelue.
- Game now finishes when Ochre room is cleared. Thanks to Can't find who reported this!

Version 1.01

Bug Fixes

- Ulin bug on Army Summon screen. Rolling mouse over Ulin to display his health bar, then moving Merlin to quit the script, caused a crash. The health bar should not enabled for actors in scripts anyway, so it was disabled. Thanks to many, many people for reporting that.

Changes

- 'ass' changed to 'butt' in Berlin script. Thanks robert v3.0
- 'dispicible' changed to 'despicable' in Lore Stone script. Thanks Feory.
- 'aready' changed to 'already' in intro script. Thanks Feory.

Version 0.05a

Bug Fixes

Fixed 2 bugs relating to the energy blast when you change screens.

Releasing blast whilst changing screens glitch

This was spotted by:
[suggestion_2878] by jackospade
[suggestion_2888] by star_mage
[suggestion_2892] by Sketch
[suggestion_2894] by blaster (this was the clearest explantation)
Thanks guys!
It happened when you:
1 - charge a blast
2 - exit the screen
3 - release the blast while the new screen redraws.
The blast appeared from the opposite side of the screen

Energy Blast not cleared from screen when changing screens.

This one was spotted by
[suggestion_2880] by poop
[suggestion_2881] by asdfqwer
Very well done! - it was very subtle. I couldn't even spot it at all until I'd fixed the other bug.
As it turns out it wasn't quite as you described, but you gave me enough to be going on with. :)
I narrowed it down to:
1 - charge an energy blast
2 - exit the screen
3 - release the energy blast on the next screen
4 - before the energy blast lands, exit the screen again
The energy blast is not cleared from the screen when you exit the second time and continues merrily on it's way making it seem as if the next room already contains an energy blast.

Version 0.05

Credits

Kelly Robinson sequence in Ulin script by bloodshot [suggestion_2697] hehe lol! It just seemed the most appropriate of the three scripts that were submitted since Merlin is doing a lot of punching in this demo (as it turned out). But thanks to Jeppo and dantheman for submitting some good and funny scripts as well!

Bugs Not Fixed

Dialogue not canceling upon movement [suggestion_2772] by mojassty. I just couldn't get this to happen under authoring. Maybe something I changed in the mean time fixed it. (Well, here's hoping!)

Additions

Weapon Selector - 'Q' to display.
Key Set Chooser - select from title menu or in-game menu. Your choice will be remembered the next time you play from that computer.
Char Properties - this a behind the scenes addition which affects the way characters will use droppable weapons.
Potions for spells - these increase the character properties of Merlin which are to do with casting spells. The speed up potion has not been added yet.
Rollover health bar - shows the health of the character that was last underneath the mouse pointer in a little health bar.

Changes

Default keyset now 'WASD', was 'Arrow'.
Goblin dexterity increased to 3 from 1. (Decrease attack cooldown by 66%.)
Goblin fight dampend by 50%.
Goblin strength increased to 10 from 8. (Slightly increased range.)
Merlin punch power increased from 5 to 50. (Kill a goblin in 2-3 punches.)

Bug Fixes

Ability to move writing around with blasts after collecting potion/scroll.
Multiple hit where one goblin doesn't move. [suggestion_2819] by DoomGiver
Lose charging spell when changing screen. [suggestion_2705] by MerlinRulez
Screen arrows displaying wrong colour. [suggestion_2869] Eric9000
Minimap displaying red for energy blast scroll. [suggestion_2796] by DoomGiver
Removed green tuft from landed arrow. (Can't find suggestion but I remeber Morsh pointed that out) - comment on [suggestion_2801] (thanks to Octavo for pointing that out).

Version 0.04a

Bug Fixes

Attacking now cancels dialogue

Previously, if you punched during dialogue, you could then move around without cancelling the conversation. The speech bubbles would still appear in the right place, but wouldn't follow you around and could be clipped by the top of the screen.

Ulin now immune to attacks

Whilst you couldn't damage Ulin, you could use energy blasts and punches to move him around the screen. Now he stays where he is.

Minimap no longer show incorrect red squares

If you exited a screen while energy blasts were still active, they would be recorded as enemies, and the minimap would show the screen as red. This no longer happens.

Version 0.04

Credits

Dialogue between Merlin and Ulin was based on [Suggestion_2650] by MerlinRulez, world350 and bloodshot. I couldn't include all of it for pacing reasons and the engine doesn't support people running about yet. But well done guys!

Punch Added

Merlin can now punch his enemies. Press left mouse to punch. Once you pick up the Energy Blast, you can no longer punch. This is because weapon swapping hasn't been added yet.

Energy Blast Added

Once you've collected the orange scroll, you have the Energy Blast.
- Left mouse to charge
- Mouse to aim
- Release Mouse to fire
- Energy Blast will damage enemies within it's blast radius

Screen Draw Speed Increased

When you re-enter a screen you have already been on, the amount of time it takes the screen to appear has been greatly reduced. It is now nearly as fast as MR2.
When first entering screens, they may take a few seconds to appear, especially when there are lots of enemies.

Hittable Enemy Arrows

For now, the enemy arrows are hittable with the energy blasts, providng you hit them while they are in the air. Once they have landed they cannot be hit.
However, this reduces performance considerably as it puts quite of lot of extra work on the CPU. Therefore, I will probably disable it in future demos, and offer it as an option.

Version 0.03

In-game menu added

Press 'Esc' to bring up the in-game menu. This will pause the game.

Dialogue Modified

The dialogue now displays in a narrower box over several lines if required.
Dialogue is slightly slower to make it easier to read.

Skippable dialogue added

You can walk away from chatters to cancel the dialogue.

Minimap included

The minimap has been added.
Yellow squares contain special items or characters.
Red have enemies in them.
Green are clear.
This was actually added to a previous demo, but I forgot to update the version number and this record.

Version 0.01

Screen Manager Implemented

Screens can be handled with greater ease than in MR2.
Title screen added.

Version 0.02

Game Engine Implemented

The game engine from Rapunzel's Escape has been implemented for MR3.
One significant change is that it is no longer neccessary for at one enemy to appear on each screen.

Collision Detection enhanced

The collision detection system run more quickly than both the original Rapunzel system, and the MR2 system. This change has been re-implemented in Rapunzel.
It also now copes with screens where solid tiles do not match across entrances/exits.

Dialogue enhanced

The dark boxes have been added around character speech to make it easier to read no matter what background they appear in front of.
