I'm happy to announce the release of version 1.2 of Words of Yendor.
This free, automatic update features:
- New encounter: "Hello, Dear Creature – Compassion from unexpected, unassuming sources."
- New equipable: "Surveyor Goggle" – Predicting scouting failure consequences for the entire settlement.
- Tactical scouting: Some tiles now provide extra effects to make scouting more interesting.
- Enhanced consistency:
- Lighting a candle in a Shrine guarantees the removal of all curses. Previously, each curse was evaluated separately.
- All dowsing-related equipables now explicitly report when they have been activated. Previously, some encounters silently applied these bonuses.
- Rewards for Suspicious Accident are now calculated with reduced reliance on chance.
- UX improvement:
- Added a button in Word Log that opens the Wiktionary web page for the selected word.
- Scouted encounters are now indicated with directional arrows to make the hero’s location more prominent.
- Minor visual adjustments.
- Minor game balance-related adjustments.
