Patch v2.9.9.14 // Friendly Water & Widescreen


Greetings, Adventurers!

I am excited to bring you what I believe to be the final patch before the full release of "The Ruins of Calaworm" (if I had a Dollar for each time I said that, I wouldn't need sales to cover my expenses, lol). Unfortunately I haven't been keeping track of all the myriad tweaks and fixes since last patch, so let me just highlight a couple of key points:



  • Save Files from previous versions are no longer valid:
    • Before you download this latest version, please note that save files and WorldSeeds from previous versions won’t work. The game will detect an expired version and start a new game with a fresh WorldSeed instead.
  • Water Tiles Rebalanced:
    • Water tiles are no longer instantly deadly! I’ve introduced a scaling algorithm for Saving Rolls: the further you progress, the more likely reckless exploring will get you into trouble. This change is meant to provide a more enjoyable and fluid early game experience without punishing new players too harshly.
  • "Known Issues" Resolved:
    • All issues listed in the latest "Known Issues" devLog Entry have been addressed and fixed. Really appreciating your patience and reports! <3
  • Widescreen Support:
    • The game now supports widescreen displays: while you won’t see more of the game world, UI elements have been spread out to give a less cramped feel. If you have a widescreen monitor, the game will now automatically launch in 1366x768 resolution, up from the previous 1024x768.
  • Balancing Tweaks:
    • Various gameplay and number tweaks.


I hope this update makes your journey through the ruins more enjoyable, and I can’t wait to share the full release with you!

Stay sane, be kind to each other, and enjoy the Creepy Season!
