Type Knight - Quality of Life Update

Hello! Here's a big update for Type Knight that focuses on quality of life features. Let me know if this new patch introduces any new bugs, I really appreciate the feedback. The linux version of the update is postponed since I was having issues with my ubuntu install. Changelog from 1.2.1 (2020-10-16) to 1.3.0 (2022-03-19):

  • Updated the font
    • Some characters have been edited to differentiate them better (u/v and capital i / lowercase L).
    • Other character were edited to make them more aesthetically pleasing (characters with accents).
    • A lot of new characters have been added. Mostly letters with accents but also symbols. You should now be able to type in most (if not all) languages that are based on the latin script.

  • Split English language localization into English (US) and English (UK)
    • The game now has a dictionary with american spelling.
    • Added support for the UK QWERTY keyboard layout (Note: the keyboard layout option is only used for the on-screen keyboard feature in the custom game menu and navigating the menus. You can use any layout during the main gameplay.)
    • Story panels and menus are properly localized as well.
  • Added alt-codes to write certain characters.
  • Slowed down bats by 25%.
  • Fixed ground gradually disappearing after playing for a very long time.
  • Fixed blue or green text not being loaded correctly.
  • Fixed URL links not working in google chrome.
  • Removed some offensive words.

Type Knight version 1.1.2

Hey! I've just finished working on a new patch for Type Knight. I couldn't recreate on my end alot of the bugs that have been reported but I still did my best to investigate the game's code to fix most of them. Please let me know if the patch feels like an improvement or not! Changelog from 1.1.1 (2020-01-08) to 1.1.2 (2020-06-01).

  • Fixed the unhinged dynamic difficuly for the script flow game mode. The longer you had the game open, the faster the skeletons were walking because the game didn't take into account the time you started the new round.
  • Potential fix for the game over screen sometimes not fading in.
  • Potential fixes for crashes related to weather effects (objPluie, objBrouillard and so on).
  • Standardized how the words appear above the sorcerer. The words should behave like for other enemies (graying out instead of disappearing). It should also make the system less prone to bugs. (Some of you had a problem where a new word would fail to appear.)
  • Removed some offensive and vulgar words from the dictionnaries.
  • Updated the readme.

  • Possible fix for the crash related to "objEntites"
  • Fixed not always being able to hear the attack sound effect of skeletons
  • Removed crickets from the background audio during winter mode
  • Updated the alternate version of the mountain sprite used for the lightning strike special effect to the newest version of mountains (you will see the change after winter mode ends)
  • Tweaked the game over screen during winter mode
