Wickendell: releases

v0.1.4 · Land by land

2026-11-13T00:00:00Z

Changed Skills grow land by land: every fire you raise lifts their cap.
Changed Mending learns from whole Offering lines, not single pieces.
Changed The minimap and the map turn with the camera, and the compass points north.
Changed Nights are truly dark now: windows glow, lamps are lit, and the fire throws a warm pool you can see from afar.
Changed Every sound is levelled to one standard and mixed anew, with rain, splashes and heavier footsteps. Sound loads only the first time you turn it on.
Changed News waits while a panel is open, and messages never cover the buttons. The phone layout is lighter.
Changed The ground is painted with grain, glows and smoke are drawn in pixels, and every sprite shares one pixel size.
Changed The hero walks with a real step under a deeper hood. Deer, hares, boars, birds and pets are drawn anew, and villagers come in ten looks.
Changed Every building is drawn to its real footprint, and the Sky Forge, the garden beds and the Hearth Ring stones are redrawn.
Fixed On the loading screen the tools pass behind the hero and change metal every lap.
Fixed After an update, the loading screen always comes fresh.

New The prologue: a short animated tale with a narrator. Skip it any time, or watch it again from the settings.
New After the Heart, begin again with a multiplier that doubles with every lit Heart, up to x32.
New Every new land starts with a cold hearth: carry a flame to it and raise the fire with goods gathered there.
New Home: the hero's own house, with trophies, statues and a wardrobe.
New New places with their secrets: the lake, the Old Mine, the Long Barrow, the Ice Caves and the Cloud Sea.
New Rain, water and wind; lantern posts along the roads; a caravan carries goods between lands.
New A sound button turns all sound off or on in one tap.
New Open alpha mark, version and build in the settings.
Changed The story is told as one tale, from the first fire to the Heart.
Changed A village left alone works at full rate, the lands are bigger, and every number reads short (K, M, T).
Fixed Many fixes from a full play-through: the opening, the late lands, Home, saves and the phone layout.
Removed Story layers, the true ending and the trials.

2026-11-11T00:00:00Z

New Chapters and bundles: rooms in every land to fill with goods.
New Bloom and trade: lands blossom, and roads carry goods between them.
New A living night valley on the loading screen and the website.
New Graphics High or Low, and a frame-rate limit (30, 60 or 120).
Changed The whole game is one dream: the hero wakes only at the ending. Every mended way lights a beacon on every fire, and the whole valley works faster.
Changed Auto is always on and tends every land, with reserves you choose.
Changed The whole interface is rebuilt in one style; the HUD sits on the map with a compass.
Fixed A paused game no longer leaves the crossing on a white screen.
Removed Waking in the middle of the dream, Light, the Raise all and Plan buttons, and the Pot.
