Fixed a bug where horizontal lines were not being drawn due to an incorrect function reference.

We're back! And we're rollin' up to the moon in the 5.2.0 update. We're introducing a few hype things: A totally redone Tavern, re-rolling of all equipment via Oyun's Rerolling Cauldron, a new tier of items we're calling 'Special', and an entirely new dungeon called the 'Alien Outpost' that is available via a new mini-boss named SPECIAL AGENT.

We've also got some exciting news for the future!

Update: 5.2.0
Release Date: 7/26/2024
tl;dr: New developer, item rerolling, new dungeon, entirely remade Tavern, new tier of equipment, fixes, new mobile options, and more!

---

We've got some exciting news to share! We'll soon be adding a new developer to the team. We're not ready to reveal who they are but we're excited to see what they're able to do! We'll be having them focus on bug fixing and quality of life improvements for the first few weeks as they learn the codebase.
With this patch we're hoping to get back to weekly or biweekly updates so that we're always moving forward! Our new developer will surely help with this and the future is looking bright. Thanks to all of our players for riding with us.
The in-game tooltip will describe this feature better than we will here but item rerolling will be a great glory sink for everyone! Affixes make equipment stronger and more appealing.


Our first new dungeon since re-releasing the game on all platforms! Head up on to the moon after fighting a new miniboss goat named SPECIAL AGENT. There is unfortunately no change in gravity on this metaverse moon but pretend there is!



Kyle, Nolo, and Jmn set out on a mission of creating a brand new Tavern. Nolo made most of the sprites. Jmn designed the entire layout with some inspiration from Kyle. Pocquette made it lively with NPCs and will add a swath of new interactions in an upcoming patch! We're incredibly proud of how this turned out! We created over 300 new assets for the Tavern and hope everyone enjoys it as much as we did.

• Added premium skins for every class. Premium skins come with particles!
  
• Added multiple new skins for Gladiator and many other classes
  
• Added Lumberjack Gladiator skin. Thanks @Mira! @Jmn finalized the skin and touched it up
  
• Added new animated hats
  
• Added new custom NPCs with awesome idle animations for each shop
  
• Added Independence Day event items to Mammon's shop in the northern part of the Tavern. These were meant to come out on July 4th but we missed the release window by a little. They'll be available for 1-2 weeks.
  
• Added livelier NPCs to the Tavern (NPC Update Part 1). Pocquette made a video showcasing the cool tech he made for the NPCs if you'd like to watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=150t0cuk6jg
  
• Part 2 will bring additional NPC interactions & NPC types

We've gone through and changed every single shop item to be more friendly to free-to-play and paying players alike! Let us know what you think. We know a lot of you will be excited about the backpack price changes!

Welcome Defenders!

Hi all!

As per feedback received, I've been very hard at work revising the control scheme for the game. With the new control schemes it might feel a bit easy, so feel free to bump up the difficulty a bit.

I might add settings for a static control scheme if the dynamic one proves to be annoying, just needed to keep a scope!

Also, trying the game on my SteamDeck I realized how annoying it had to be to hunt down the on-screen keyboard, which could represent a softlock for some people. Thanks to the GODOT community, I found a great solution to that problem.

• Traditional one-handed control scheme remains
  
• You can now use the mouse to aim, to play with mouse and keyboard. If the mouse is left idle, it'll revert to the one-handed scheme in a few seconds
  
• You can now use the right stick of your controller to aim (twin stick shooter style). Revert to mouse control by clicking

• Reticle
  
• Onscreen Keyboard

• Revamped Pause System (less buggy)
  
• Revamped Range System for Ship Weapon
  
• Rebalanced Time Reversal Engine
  
• Pushing through Greed Stages will increase the stakes but you'll reach the point of diminishing returns... Figure it out

• Now if you lose by going negative time, it'll finish the game correctly
  
• Vortex despawning correctly on finished stage transition
  
• Some old bugs and lots of new bugs introduced along the way

If you experience any bugs or anything, feel free to send me a message or post it in the Community hub (now that I know that exists, I'll be checking!)

As always, thank you so much!

Players now get 1 starting item at the start of the game.


Improved customization for new games. You can now optionally pre-generate the initial locations, starting quest, inate abilities, starting item, and passive skills. You can re-roll these generations individually as many times as you want. You can also manually edit the fields, although editing the starting item or innate abilities is restricted to creative mode due to being OP.

Moddable world presets can also include these new fields. Sometimes you might choose to predefine some of the options for a preset, such as some ability names or a starting quest you find interesting. However, in many cases, you may want to leave these fields empty, which indicates that they should be AI-generated at the start of each new game (to increase variance and replayability).


Moddable world presets have been updated to a more future-proof format, though the game should still support old versions. You can also export your current preset as a new json file, which provides a much easier way to create customized presets to share with others.


In the case of pre-generating initial locations, you can optionally provide additional instructions to the AI. This can greatly influence how it generates the locations. A demonstration of this is included in the pre-bundled preset “UC Berkeley” which replaces “College”. In this case, I instructed the AI to generate real-life locations, and it did so successfully (including Top Dog, La Burrita, Cheeseboard, Sproul Plaza, and various other restaurants and campus locations).


Updated fonts to be consistent and made the Auto-Generate button more prominent to encourage its use.


Logic for how the game uses ComfyUI has been expanded to allow custom workflows. Instructions in the readme file inside the model-params directory.

Fixed an issue of multiple creatures spawning at once

Hello Bingle Bingle players,

Today, we're releasing a patch that includes an update for the language customization feature and some minor bug fixes.


First, we've added French, Russian, Spanish, Korean, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese to Bingle Bingle. We've also refined the existing English translations for clearer expressions!

The added languages were prioritized based on popular demand. However, the current translations are in beta and provided as examples. Since machine translation was used, please understand if the quality is not perfect. Report any problematic text to us, and we'll strive to improve the translations.




0. Before starting, note the path for the KnittingGames folder as follows:
1) For Windows: "user/appdata/roaming"
2) For Linux: "home - *show hidden files* - .local/share"

1. Create a folder named after the language you want to add (let's call this language "Binglian") in the knittinggames/binglebingle/language directory.

2. Inside knittinggames/binglebingle/language/Binglian, create GameText.json and language.json files, and add a font file [e.g., ttf, otf].

If you create a folder with a name that exactly matches the spelling of officially supported languages in the current live version settings—English, French, Spanish, Korean, Russian, Japanese, Chinese—the embedded fonts in 'bingle bingle' will be used. Therefore, there will be no issues even if the font is not included in the language folder.
However, if you create a folder with a different name, even for the same language (e.g., japanese(0.4.1)), it will be considered a new language, and font files will be required.
So please ensure that you include font information and files if you are not using a folder name that exactly matches the in-game language name. This is essential for proper functionality.

3. Populate the language.json file with character data. (Be sure to refer to the provided link.)

<Here's an example of a language file for Binglian>
{
"code": "BGN", <- This is the code used to classify the language. Feel free to enter any value.
"name": "Binglian", <- Ensure this matches the name of the folder you created.
"huge": { <- Enter one of the sizes: huge, large, medium, or small. (Each language file must include data for all four sizes: huge, large, medium, and small.)
"name": "Fontname.ttf", <- Enter the exact name and extension of the font file you added.
"size": 10, <- Adjust the font size as needed.
"xAdjust": 0, <- Adjust the x-axis position of the text.
"yAdjust": 0, <- Adjust the y-axis position of the text.
"widthAdjust": 0, <- Adjust the letter spacing.
"heightAdjust": 0 <- Adjust the line spacing.
}
}

4. Next, fill in the translation contents in the GameText file. (Refer to the provided link.)

<Here’s an example of the Normal Ball English file translated into Korean for version 0.4.1. (Ensure the version you enter matches the currently installed version!)>

English Version
{
"code": "TokenSide.NORMAL",
"version": "0.4.1",
"name": "Normal Ball",
"shortName": "Normal Ball",
"description": "Rolls a ball.",
"activeDescription": "Rolls a ball. Its value increases by {pointColor}5{clearColor} per ability level.\n({pointColor}{levelValue}{clearColor} points)"
}

Korean Version
{
"code": "TokenSide.NORMAL",
"version": "0.4.1",
"name": "일반 볼",
"shortName": "일반 볼",
"description": "볼을 굴립니다.",
"activeDescription": "볼을 굴립니다. 능력 강화 시 가치가 {pointColor}5{clearColor} 증가합니다.\n({pointColor}{levelValue}{clearColor} 포인트)"
}

5. Run the game, change to the newly added Test version in the options, and restart Bingle Bingle.

6. All done! Now you can play Bingle Bingle in the new language!





Modifying a supported language follows a similar process to adding a new translation file, but you can easily make changes by applying already translated data from the provided link. Since the font data is embedded in the game, you don’t need to add font files separately for modifications. In the language.json file, you only need to enter the language code and name. Use the translated data from the link for the GameText.json file.

*Important Notes*

*Make sure the folder name in the new path matches the language name in the language.json file*
*Ensure the version data in the GameText file matches the latest version (0.4.1 as of writing)*
*If you want to use a different font from the ones already in use, follow the method for adding a new language.*


We will provide examples of the GameText and language json files separately on the Bingle Bingle Discord channel below. Please check the link for detailed information!

- Fixed a bug where the Trickster ability would crash when activated in the Portal Pocket.
- Fixed a bug where the Dwindling Rose Drink would not change the bet type even after being modified.
- Fixed a bug where the game would crash upon death in the tutorial.



Due to spending more time than anticipated on the language patch, the update originally scheduled for early August will need to be postponed to the late August. We kindly ask for your patience a little longer.

• Buffed Seeper, Neighbor Collector and rotators.
  
• Added new tiles Left Rotator and Tireboost Heater.
  
• Added new element called "heat" which can be gained through the new tile Tireboost Heater. Heat basically scales your tireboost, but is expended each turn based on how much tireboost was active and yellow.
  
• Added sandbox mode to singleplayer.
  
• Fixed bug where small percentages rounded to closest whole number.
  
• Fixed Dilator.

• Fixed undesired behaviors on Merged Buildings reach rewards

Some fixes and improvements based on your reports and feedbacks. Thank you for supporting us!
