With the full migration to widescreen GUI and the addition of the Save & Load Game feature, the “Editor’s Edition” of Daily Chthonicle is now nearly complete.
In addition to the new widescreen layout with four game screens and tabs for navigation, here is a list of other new features:
The game now automatically saves on exit or quit, and reloads upon startup. To abort the game (and delete the autosave), select “Restart” in the game menu. The game is saved as “dc.sav” and may safely be backed up or copied from pc to pc.
There is now a popup menu with shortcuts to all the office features, available in all game screens. To open it, click on the [^] icon in the bottom right corner of the screen.
Upon winning, the End Credits are copied to the clipboard, allowing you to save or share the more intriguing (or funny) generated stories. The game also restarts to opening menu when completed or failed.
Many language fixes, among others, plural and singular nouns should now be accordingly paired with proper verb forms.
The face generator was improved and is now less uni-sex, but is not the final version yet.
Additional Notes
If the game encounters a faulty or outdated save file, or some other error occurs while loading it, the save file will be renamed to “dc.sav.bkp” and ignored from then on. This allows you to reload it into an older version of the game or send a faulty save file to the developers for analysis.
