I’m happy to announce that I have re-released versions of Shuffling Around and A Roiling Original, the two games in my Stale Tales Slate.
They feature a lot of bug fixes and features, and while bugs are lurking, I think the main things are:
- puzzles are fixed so as to be sensible
- major bugs have been paved over
- there’s increased user-friendliness
- Color trizbort maps! Visit bit.ly/trizbortjl if you want to draw up your own. They’re a nice addition to any release, big or small.
- the total source code is over 3 megs. This is a bit ridiculous, and a lot is due to the random text, but–I’m proud of my perseverance, even if sometimes I didn’t attack the VERY highest priority bugs.
Many people helped with Roiling version 3, including Mr. Patient, who was–err–patient about me dawdling on some very good transcripts. The complete list is included in the change log. Matt Weiner helped with Shuffling version 4. If any bugs are left, there were a lot worse bugs before.
The games are submitted to the IFArchive but until then there are dropbox links.
