The new version of Soulcaster has just passed peer review, so anyone who has bought the game can download the new version for free. Changes:
- Password quick save and quick load. You can save one password per profile and avoid the hunt for a scrap of paper if you have less than 75 minutes to play at once. This was by far the biggest request from everyone who played the game.
- The “screen size” option now shows a boundary area when selecting so you can see the real area of the screen. Thanks to Randy of Neuron (XNA Creators Club member) for this suggestion.
- Exploit fix: The “free upgrades” you could get by restarting a level after buying upgrades (keeping your upgrades but getting your checkpoint cash back) has been fixed.
- Exploit fix: It was possible to summon infinite souls through button mashing through a “single frame” error. Thanks to Alex Shoup for finding this, keeping it secret from the interwebs, and sending me detailed info on how to reproduce it.
Please post thoughts and questions about the new save system, since I am looking for an elegant save system for Soulcaster II.
