Hello, Survival Typists! It's been a busy weeek here at Glyphica HQ. We've been hard at work sorting all the bugs and requests you fine folks submitted during our first playtest, and we're back with a LOT of fixes and some improvements. The full list of fixes is in the changelog below, but there were two major changes to our bosses. [h3]The Shielding Poet[/h3] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//44862715/25989b4d47c2a9da3e91704bff4bc979dd1d6120.png[/img] Some players figured out that you didn't need to rush through the Poet boss, and could use the time while he was droning on with his poetry to keep quietly leveling up. Now the poet has come back with a secret weapon, throwing shields at words to make them harder to kill. You can't ignore his poetry now! Speaking of which, he have a nice addition to our Japanese poet, who now quotes excerpts from Osamu Dazai, Natsume Sōseki, and Basho. [h3]The Less Annoying Cypher[/h3] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//44862715/31d208968de3bf484fc828bbdc15aa58a074d4bf.png[/img] We also know that players did not like the Cypher because it detracted too much from the typing experience. So instead of adding new glyphs to add to the player's mental load, the cypher now just turns words into gibberish. Now you can still rely on your muscle memory for typing, but for random letters.
