The Castle Changelog

What's new in The Castle 1.0.1

Aug 19, 2013
  • This version tries harder to run in full screen mode now: in case it can't switch the screen resolution, It will use the current resolution.
  • The code was upgraded to use Castle Game Engine 4.1.1, making it possible to use levels that refer to network resources.

New in The Castle 1.0.0 (Jan 28, 2013)

  • The code has been upgraded to use the latest Castle Game Engine version 4.0.0, which brings many improvements and optimizations.
  • Creatures are now a little smarter and more configurable.
  • Collisions are handled in a uniform fashion, which fixes some problems with creature vs. creature collisions (for example, a creature can now step over the corpse of another creature).
  • Collisions with the ground when the creature was pushed by a force are now fixed.
  • The game data and source code are much simpler and easier to extend.
