Stability Patch

I've just published a new version to the beta branch that fixes various crashes. Since some of my development libraries have updated since the last patch I'm keeping this in beta for a bit for testing to ensure something bigger wasn't broken in the process - please check it out and let me know at the link below if everything is working or not!
How to join the beta

Stability Patch v3.32:

  • Fixed a crash when clicking the exact pixel on the right edge of the town map
  • Fixed a double-click crash when comparing and replacing equipment
  • Fixed a rare crash with the Shop Sell / Buy All buttons
  • Fixed an occasional crash while crafting potions
  • Fixed an occasional crash while unequipping at a forge
  • Fixed occasional UI crash when closing certain windows in a specific way

    [ 2018-11-17 08:48:56 CET ] [ Original post ]

    v 3.18 released, save bug fixed

    v 3.18 fixes the bug with data not saving on windows if your PC username contains non-ASCII characters, such as Chinese characters.


    [ 2018-11-16 12:33:48 CET ] [ Original post ]

    Announcement for Chinese players regarding save data

    This is primarily for the new Chinese players but does affect any version of the game.

    If you are experiencing save data not working in windows, it may be because your username on your PC contains non-ASCII characters, such as Chinese characters. I am working on the problem and will fix it as soon as possible. I am very sorry for the inconvenience.

    If you like, you may use another user on your PC to play the game and later manually copy saves from that user to your normal user after a patch is released.

  • [ 2018-06-03 20:24:26 CET ] [ Original post ]

    Version 3.11 update and patch

    Most every version from the previous version 3.02 to now 3.11 has dealt with issues on mobile devices only so that is why there is a big gap in version numbers.

    Full list of changes to the steam version:

    v 3.11

  • Fixed bug where movement was still possible with escape wings confirmation window open
  • Fixed crash related to game being resized while certain message windows were open
  • Minimap updates: NPCs now show on the map, and open chests now appear as dark icons instead of walkable floor.
  • MP and Defense stat gems, temple floor tiles colors adjusted for better readability with colorblindness
  • New rendering method for windows and buttons(openfl.display.Tilemap) for better performance
  • Lots of performance and memory optimizations
  • Fix controller buttons showing on sell buttons
  • Addition of config.ini - useBitmaps option (find it in the installation folder - if you have performance issues it may help changing this value to false)

    Also v 3.12 is currently live in the beta which should fix a problem with text not being pasted from the clipboard so try out the beta if you are having problems with that.

    Version 3.0 MEGA UPDATE

    Today I'm thrilled to announce that The Enchanted Cave 2 is getting a major update on all platforms on May 2nd! Thisupdate Ihave appropriately named the "MEGA UPDATE."

    https://youtu.be/G0mkIoTqIdM

    This update will set the game to version 3.0 and will add tons of new content.

    Complete list of changes:


    • Added full controller support

    • Added 3 challenge game modes

    • Added 5 new heroes (one only in green goo's quest)

    • Heroes now have unique starting stats

    • Added 2 new NPCs that can be helped

    • Added 7 new items (one only in monster's lair)

    • Added 2 new monsters (both only in monster's lair)

    • Added a new merchant

    • Added bonus infinity skill nodes to skill tree that are revealed when a full branch is completed

    • Added Import/Export feature to transfer save data between devices

    • Added monster descriptions to bestiary

    • Reduced MP use of attack magic from 8 to 7

    • Increased value of "magic" enchantments by 50%

    • Fixed bug where magic bonus with crafted potions had no effect

    • Small visual improvements to some UI elements.

    • Fixed some visual bugs with spritesheet edges on some objects

    • Fix when enchanting to have an item's single current enchantment selected by default when adjusting enchantments.

    • Fixed a rare soft-lock that can happen when clicking anywhere immediately after death

    • Improved rain performance

    • Improved final boss intro performance

    • Fixed some lag issues

    • (Steam Version) Added 11 new achievements

    • (Steam Version) Fixed retroactive achievement checking



    Challenges
    The MEGA UPDATE features3 new challenges, which each take the base game andadds their own twist on it as a shortened 50-floor adventure. Explore a dungeon crammed witha more varied and more numerous selection of monsters in the "Monster's Lair," or try out the cave as a maze with limited visibility in "The Labyrinth."



    If you're looking for a radically different experience, you may love "Green Goo's Quest," in which a particularly courageous green goo from the first Enchanted Cave sets out to be a hero! You can only equip swords and helmets, with loot and enchantment stats adjusted for this.



    There are 4 new heroes (5 including green goo), and every hero now has their own unique starting stats.



    Full Controller Support
    The largest addition as far as my own development time goes is the addition of full controller support for the desktop versions. It turns out there are quite a lot of clickable things in the game that had to each be considered to make everything easily accessible with a controller!



    Import and Export save files to any other device
    The Enchanted Cave 2 is now available on PC, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS, and even some html5 versions, but all platforms handle their actual save files differently. With the new Import/Export feature you can copya text output of your slot's save data, transfer it to another device you have the game installed on (emailing it to yourself works great), and pasteit directly into the game on that new device to effectively transfer a save.This feature can also be used to copy save files on the same device, or make backups of your save slots.



    Live Beta on Steam available now!
    Every bit of content in the update is completed and is the beta stage of development (except for the artwork of one more hero which I plan to live stream the creation of during a Q&A on the update). If you own the game and want to test out the new content todayandhelp me iron out any bugs I may have missed, check out the beta thread here!

    Price Change
    In the interest of full transparency, when the update goes live on May 2nd I will also be increasing the price of the desktop version from $4.99 to $9.99 as well as the mobile versions from $2.99 to $5.99. If you already own the game before May 2nd, you will not have to pay anyextra for the update - it is a free update and is not paid DLC.

    The reason for the price change is simply because I have felt that the game has always been very under-priced (which was my mistake) even before the new content. I'm confident that the quality and amount of content the game provides is well worth a $9.99 price tag withof course the occasional discount during sales.

    The new content adds plenty of new features that I've either considered from the start andturned out too time costlyto add (like controller support) or ideas that cropped up during the months or years following the release. In addition,the update allows me to provide a significantly richer experience that further distances the premium version from the stripped down free flash demo.

    Personal Note
    It's around 3 years after the release of the game and I've always been pleased with how the game turned out and it's reception, but this update especially feels like a more complete conclusion to the development process. The Enchanted Cave 2 will nowfeature everythingplus more that was originally envisioned, and at a fair price that will further support myself as I work on my next game. Thank you to everyone who is a fan of the game for your support, bug reports, suggestions, and sharing it with your friends, and an extra thank you to my original kickstarter backers who funded the development of the game because none ofthis would have happened without your generosity!

    Wanted: Testers for new game features

    I have planned a few new features - multiple save slots first of all - and need a few people to test them out before they go live.

    Wanted: Beta Testers for new features

    If you already own the game in steam and would like to test out some new features please email me at dustinaux@gmail.com and I'll give you a password to access the beta build of the game.

    Just wanting to confirm things work for a fair amount of people before pushing any large patch live.

    First up is multiple save slots... which I don't think should be too much trouble but when dealing with people's saves it's extra important to make sure it's working for everyone. ːcaveguardː
