Version History

5/21/17 - v1.3

• Fixed a new issue that popped up that caused the entire game to look awful.

4/21/13 - v1.2

• After the game ends, you now get a map of your wanderings
• Difficulty added. It's meant to be somewhat hidden until you beat the game and need more challenge
• The compass now works at night if you have an equipped flashlight
• Added a USE button back in
• Auto-run no longer works at night; added some explanation about how it works
• Watch and compass HUD elements now in green
• Fixed spawn-in-cabin bug
• Fixed cannibal cabin bug
• Fixed a huge performance bug that appeared after several restarts of the game
• Changed some help text to make things more clear, especially sleeping items

3/18/13 - v1.1

• Bug fix: items are now unequipped when dropped
• Auto-run button: inspired by Crawl's autoexploration, Auto-run runs until you hit a non-snow tile or get low on temperature/satiety
• Imperial/metric toggle added (all distances are still in meters however)
• Nighttime is now slightly darker
• Initial direction is now listed in HELP
• Added notice about distance to exit on death
• Difficulty tweaks: sleeping items are better, the game is about 50% shorter (by distance), steps take twice as long, slight bonus to satiety. In general, the game is now harder from the start, but should take less time to beat. Motivation: I felt the game was artificially long, especially compared to some other very compressed RLs submitted. In v1.0, you can go several days without wearing clothing and hardly notice.
