The Knobbly Crook news & patch notes

The Blog of the Knobbly Crook is now live at http://gnarledscar.com . On it, you'll find insight into the lore of the world, previews of upcoming artwork and characters, and a look inside the development process. Wonder what's up with Jack? Curious about the language the Knobbcrookians speak? These answers and more can already be found on the blog.

The Knobbly Crook should now update to 1.1, which includes many useful features requested by your feedback. They are: * Slower Talking - I've added an extra bit of space into every spoken line to give slower readers a chance to keep up with the Knobbcrookians. * Punctuation fixes! Exciting! * Fixed missing audio files. * Cleaned the colon extractor, but it's already dirty again. Oh well. * Added Hotkeys - 1 = Walk, 2 = Look, 3 = Use, 4 = Talk, 5 = Take, 6 (or Tab) = Inventory * Updated cursors to better differentiate use and take. * Volume sliders for Speech, Sound, and Music. * Ability to turn on and off mouseover room exit icons. You will only see them in rooms where you have walk-into exits. Exits that are found with other interaction icons will not show up here (because spoilers). * Extended Music and Sound credits have been moved into the credits screen rather than in text files. * Fixed a walk-behind issue in the Captain's room that put O'Sirus inside the walkway.

If you'd like to keep up to date on Chapter 2: The Face of the Face, stop by to say hello, ask questions, or simply want to annoy me - you can find me on twitter @ethanjamespetty . I'm very friendly as long as you are, too. If you've got ideas for Knobbcrookians, fan fiction, etc, be sure to post them here. I would love to incorporate some of the community ideas into future games. I want this to be an extremely weird playground anybody can play in.
