Look → How the game sounds offers Table sounds as a pictured choice: wood, leather and paper for every click, the sounds a new game starts with. · 1 change
Updates that day: First steps counted once known · Table sounds to pick · Your last matches · Back to your match
Help
- After a reload First steps no longer says “0 of 7” for a moment: it shows your progress once it is counted.

Ctrl+K (or Ctrl+P) now finds anything by name: a passage, a character, a thing, a value, a part of the editor or a command such as Publish or Play. · 1 change

Help
- The developer pages show how to build a puzzle or minigame of your own as an add-on with its own page.

When a foe’s feint, shatter or breakthrough beats your defence, it is stamped across the table with what it did, the broken die cracks and a feint’s moved dice glow, until you press play. · 1 change

Help
- The help on battles describes the five-dice standard: five zones with the hands, the full house and five of a kind, the parry by the same pips.
Features now lists what your game uses under In this game, and everything else under Add a module: each module says what it needs and how much it adds to your game’s download. · 1 change
