0.5.16 2022-08-17

Essence
- Essence is spawned in mysterious ways
- You can absorb essence to give you certain buffs
  - Absorbed essence is shown in the character sheet
  - Warriors and rangers
    - Essence can increase the power timeout up to 10 seconds
    - When you have essence a marker will display when your timeout enters the extra essence buffer
    - Dealing damage when in the essence buffer will consume 1 to 4 of your absorbed essence (e.g. 4 if you deal damage at the last second)
    - At max power it will always be 20 seconds regardless of essence or damage (whereas it still took the 10 seconds into account previously)
  - Mages
    - The power for mages is now capped at spell level 20
    - When casting a spell at max power with a diamond or lumerium mana stone it will deduct 1 essence and create an essence field that lasts for 5 minutes
    - The essence field can be buffed 3 additional times by casting with max power on it again
    - When casting a spell on the essence field it will increase that cast's spell level by 5 for each buff, up to no limit at a fully buffed essence field
    - The essence field will disappear if you cast on it below max power, or when it has been fully buffed
    - It can still be worth casting on the essence field at less than max power, since it scales accordingly, so if you cast at 75% power with spell level 40 on a fully buffed essence field it will cast at level 30
  - You can disable all essence consumption in the character sheet
- Essence Tree
  - Offer essence to it to increase essence spawn rate, for everyone
The power meter now always shows the timeout as well as the current corresponding ability level
Kingsguards cost has been decreased from 50 to 20
Stuck timer on islands has been reduced to 5 seconds
Name check is now case insensitive
You can no longer open portals to spots in mid-air
Plot sign character limit increased from 500 to 1000
Started implementing a economy tracking system to get more insights into things like inflation over time
A lot of small bug fixes
Fixed a couple of major exploits no-one has abused yet

0.5.15 2022-07-18

Plot upkeep
- All plots and player towns now require a daily upkeep based on size
- You add upkeep from a Plot Sign or the Town Flag
  - Upkeep is automatically deducted every day
  - You can add an unlimited amount in advance
  - There's currently no way to get prepaid upkeep back
- If upkeep is not paid the plot will decay in 7 days
  - When decaying the plot will be removed, any island on it unlinked and all items sent to the owner's post office
  - If a plot enters the 7 day grace period and you start paying again it will take a while for the 7 days to fill up
  - So if you have 3 days left of the grace period, starts paying and then stops paying after one day it will still just be 3 days left before decay
- The initial plot tax is now flat (so still 172 for smallest plot) and doesn't scale with number of already owned tiles
- Abandoning a plot will no longer give you the plot tax back
- Previously paid plot taxes have been sent to all plot owners' post office
- Plots in player towns do not have any upkeep but will decay if the town upkeep is not paid
- The Kings are exempt from plot upkeep for plots they own within their lands (based on top left corner of plot)
Some other stuff that was already in the master branch
- Power bar now has better indicators
- Kingsguards now give 50 XP
- Reduced egg laying rate for wild chickens
- Fire Wall now takes Sorcery level into account
- Random bug fixes

0.5.14 2022-06-16

Autowalk
- Everyone's favorite unofficial feature is now official
- Toggle it from the Abilities tab (pretty bad place but let me know if you have any suggestion that works on all devices and resolutions)
- Press once to start walking and press same direction again to stop
Treants and Stone Golems now spawn randomly when you're mining/woodcutting
- If they kill you they will take all wood/ore from your corpse and send it back to nature
You can now lock a hotbar from the hotbar config
Slight rework of the "Put for sale" popup: pressing enter no longer focuses chat, bigger input field with 0 as default, the input field autofocuses on open and the bug where you can't pick the item up immediately afterwards has been fixed
Farming boots now only plant seeds
Grayscale is now rendered correctly when dead in interpolation mode
Quit button is back
Dismantle button on crafting tables is back
Automatic reconnection disabled for now
- Seamless reconnection caused too many issues
- Added some other mechanics to prevent some of the more common disconnections
Disconnection popup is now sticky
It now shows a disconnection popup if you log in on an active session from another location
You now stop when trying an invalid action too many times against a block
- Let me know if you encounter any issues, like if you suddenly stop mining for no reason
Removed most cases of accidental text selection on mobile (let me know if this keeps happening)

0.5.13 2022-06-08

Implemented better desync handling in interpolation mode
Added arrows to expand inventory/stash in bank/chests
King's crown now has the same benefits as green cloak
The King now only needs to have the Hat of Xazar in their inventory in order to open the portal
Paint and blocks/items outside plots now always decay after 5 minutes, regardless of your level

On mobile, when in bank or a chest you can now double tap an item to deposit/withdraw the whole stack immediately (same behaviour as when Shift+Clicking on desktop)
Crafting tables are now searchable and have no default selection after opening
You can now restrict chests to elders and leaders only
Added some fixes to disable drag-to-reload on certain mobile browsers
Nerfed ore drops in Glorb and Xazar
Fixed an issue causing loot boots to miss loot
New item: Farming Boots
Attacking the king (regardless of their status) will no longer automatically flag you a criminal
Implemented seamless reconnection logic which should reduce the number of "transport close"
- Please report any issues on Discord, e.g. if you get stuck and can't walk but not getting a disconnection popup or other irregularities
You can now paint in Xazar's Domain
Interpolation mode has been enabled by default
Some new iPhone fixes. Far from working properly on iOS Safari though
Install the game as a Progressive Web App
- On mobile, you now have an "Install" button in the menu
- This will install Canvas Legacy as a PWA on your home screen, which should improve the experience a bit and feel more like a native app
- On iPhone you don't have a button to install. Instead you can use Share -> "Add to Home Screen" to install it, which is recommended (again, not really working on iPhone but it should be a bit better)

0.5.12 2022-05-23

Power
- Your ability and spell levels are now capped by your power level
- Warriors and rangers
  - Mana bar has been replaced with a power bar
  - Dealing damage to mobs will fill your power bar and thus your ability levels
  - Power will reset to 0 if you don't deal any damage for 10 seconds
  - Once the power hits the soft cap (equal to level 40) it will start glowing and reset after 20 seconds
    - Power will still increase past the soft cap during the 20 seconds timeout but it won't show in the bar
- Mages
  - Power will automatically fill when standing still
  - Power will reset on movement or when casting a spell
  - No soft cap so max power will always cast the spell at spell book level (still respecting mana stone level)
  - This means that your spell book level is evenly distributed along the power curve
- Critical hit
  - You now have a 5% chance of dealing a critical hit adding 50% extra damage
  - Power adds to the critical hit chance (up to +20%)
Lumerium items
- The Gnome Shop now sells a few new items: Gnome charger, gnome battery and lumerium generator
Xazar's Domain
- When you have acquired a lumerium item you may notice it's useless in the overworld. Lumerium gear can only be used in certain instances, the first being the domains of Xazar
- Xazar's Domain is an instanced dungeon for up to 4 players and costs 100 lumen shards to open
- You can restrict the dungeon to solo, everyone or your guild only
- The dungeon is open until no-one has been active in it for 20 minutes
- Runes
  - Mobs and chests drop runes as loot, which can be socketed into lumerium gear at the runemaster
  - Runes have level requirements for the respective lumerium items
  - Killing mobs will give you lumen XP which grants you lumen levels (lumen level and progress can be shown in the character sheet) and aside from leveling up your lumen gear level to match the rune you also need to be at least that lumen level to use it
  - The requirement is decided by the rune, not the lumerium gear level (so you can safely level it up and still use it as long as it's socketed with a rune that is below or same as your level)
- Mobs also drop lumen daler which can be used in the lumen shop
- Portal stones
  - You can buy portal stones from the lumen shop, which are used to open a portal back to the instance town
  - The portals are open until the dungeon is closed down or you open a new portal
  - Portal stone cost increases the further you get
- You can sell runes in the shop for lumen daler
- Finding a checkpoint portal will permanently register it for all active players in the dungeon, and be available in all subsequent instances
- You can pray at the shrine to heal and restore your stamina for free
- No PvP is allowed here
- When dying you will be sent to the shrine and healed but will lose 10% of the currently accumulated lumen XP toward next level
- Max level is currently 20
- Xazar's Domain is procedurally generated each time it's opened so you may get a broken world. Please report those in Discord
Arrows revamp
- Crafting arrows will now give you a batch of arrows but they always have a 50% probability to break on impact
- There are new items to help you reduce arrow spill
- Trashing the old deprecated arrows will reimburse you the full crafting cost
New stash UI
- There's now a new interface when using banks and chests
- The inventory is now always shown beneath and you can filter by item name through the new search bar
- Item attributes (rings, swords, runes etc) will now be displayed directly in the UI when selected
- Press an item twice on mobile to see the item description if available (hover as usual on desktop)
Sheep above tier 1 now require hay to produce wool. Hay can be found in Xazar's Domain
The eating popup is now smaller and should not stick around when you're not eating or behave in strange ways
Gnomes that are carrying items no longer block gnomes that are not carrying items
Gnomes no longer pathfind through doors
- This is very useful when queuing a lot of gnomes for charging
Local chat in instanced dungeons and box will now propagate to all players in that instance regardless of distance
Interpolation mode should now render correctly for mounts, whirlwind and clouds
Fire bomb arrow recipe has been changed
Fire bomb arrows now start the fire on bigger enemies where the arrow actually hits
Split shot damage now halves for every subsequent hit
All bosses have been buffed
Standing inside bosses will now make them deal 75% of your max HP as non-physical damage instead of their normal attack
Spider Queen now drops strings
Slime Guy sells a new item
When hitting a frozen target it will now half the remaining freeze duration
Slime Friends, Mushroom Colonies, Spider Boots and Hell Boots are now Epic items instead of Legendary
Items and icons with levels are now prefixed with "L" to differentiate from item quantity
Going AFK in a dungeon will now kick you from the dungeon (for Xazar's Domain you can re-enter as long as the instance is still active)
Glorb Dungeon now correctly hides unexplored rooms again
You can now dismantle Fusing Tables
You can no longer select the FPS/ping meter text and the click goes through to the underlying element (e.g. chat tabs on mobile)
When stashing your equipped weapon or tool it should no longer incorrectly keep showing it as equipped
Lights on green lumen stones now work again
Some minor optimizations for shadows
You no longer get a message about weapon being damage when walking into walls
Fixed some typos
Fixed some more null texts and names
Fixed some cases where effect sprites get stuck if you move between zones before the sprite duration is up
Finally, the amazing fanfics by Klinthios have a new home at Canvas Library with a lot of new stories, such as the Gnoll Book of Gnolledge and Travels With the Taxman. Go check them out!

0.5.11 2022-03-19

Oak
- Oak trees dropping oak are now spawned randomly among other trees
- Oak bows
  - All bows now have durability but oak bows have a much larger durability base, are affected by blacksmithing and can be repaired
  - Oak bows can also be infused with a beetle (found in trees)
Fusing table
- All ground crafting (except treasure maps) have been moved to fusing tables:
  - Combine gems
  - Infuse swords with gems
  - Combine beetles
  - Infuse oak bows with beetles
Mining and woodcutting changes
- Mining and woodcutting speed now scales much much slower
- Copper, silver, gold and diamond pickaxes/axes now have the same speed but each tier above copper gives you an additional stone or log (does not affect noble metals)
- You can only get gems and beetles from silver and above. The chance scales with material (silver lowest, diamond highest)
- Mining and woodcutting speed is now synced to movement speed
  - This means speed increase from leveling is phased, increasing each time you hit a new divisor
  - A side effect of this is that speed boots will now increase the mining and woodcutting speed
- For people who miss the ultraspeed and strip mining there's still a way to get that Legacy Canvas Legacy experience
𓀘 box
- Buy it from the gnome merchant and open it
Drop rate of noble metals outside mines have been greatly nerfed
Fire swords now cost 1 basic red gem per level to repair (-1 the tier, so tier 1 fire sword costs no gems and tier 5 fire sword costs 4 gems)
You can now lock your equipped item from the abilities/spells tab
- This should make it easier to loot, especially on mobile, preventing you from accidentally unequipping your weapon
- There may also be a new item making looting even easier
New sounds when:
- Taking damage
- Crafting
- Repairing
Buffs and nerfs
- Buffed:
  - Fireball
  - Split Shot
- Nerfed:
  - Whirlwind
  - Earthquake
  - Chain Lightning
- Working on a new scaling algorithm with diminishing returns that should make all abilities and spells more balanced
Iron tools and gear are now affected by blacksmithing
You can no longer place letters on other peoples' plots

Tapping the hotbar on mobile will no longer show item description
Fixed a bug with firewall hitting enemies adjacent to it
Made some more server game loop optimizations

0.5.10 2022-03-02

Plot decay on inactivity
- If you haven't logged in in 60 days your plots will now be wiped
- Items on plots and in chests as well as your pets will be sent to the post office
- Islands will be unlinked and put in hibernation
- Important: Walls, floors and plot items like Crafting Tables, Curiosity Devices, Spore Colonies etc are not sent to the post office and will be permanently destroyed. You also won't get the land tax back (in contrary to when abandoning a plot manually)
Unlink islands
- You can now unlink an island from a plot through a plot sign
- The island will be put in hiberation which means it's saved but won't be running
- There's currently no way to start up an island again but this will be possible in the future
Boiling oil
- The King can now indirectly defend their castle by pouring boiling oil on entrances to the throne room
- Oil deals damage every 2 seconds for 1 minute: 10% damage when boiling and 50% damage when burning (when poured it boils for a while before erupting into flames)
- To pour oil you need to give olive oil and coal to the Kingsguards Commander. Olive oil is made from olives
- New crop: olive tree
  - Currently, the only way to obtain olive tree saplings is through the AMM
  - Once fully grown olive trees will keep producing olives without having to replant as long as it's watered
  - You can use a shovel to get the sapling back
Word game
- You all know what this is based on
- Entrance is in the water fortress
Auto irrigation
- No, this is not a watering can or sprinklers or even a new item. Instead...
- The King can now support their citizens by automatically watering crops on plots within their kingdom. It comes with a cost though: 1 wood and 1 coin per watering
You can no longer fish on islands
You can now dismantle chests next to plots
Whirlwind now only hits an enemy once per swirl
Smelting down items in the furnace now gives you back the crafting cost minus 2 ingots instead of 1

It no longer incorrectly says that you've supplied to the LP in the AMM when you cannot afford it
Updated some item description texts
Fixed some more "null" texts

0.5.9 2022-02-21

Loot bags
- When dying your loot is now contained to a loot bag on your corpse
- If you PK someone their loot bag will be locked until the PK timer runs out
  - If the PK dies before the timer runs out all the looted victims' bags will be sent to their post box
  - If someone else loots the murdered victim the loot bag is immediately sent to their post box
New craftable item: Dislocator
- Deploy adjacent to a plot or player town a PK is hiding in to pull them out and trap them for 3 seconds
- The PK will get a warning so they can escape the plot on their own but doesn't know how long the deploy time is
PKs hiding in dungeons will now show up on the map on the entrance of the dungeon
Skulls
- When killing and looting a player you will get their skull together with their loot bag
- The skull has different sprites depending on if the dead player was a murderer or not
The Swapper
- The Swapper is a new NPC in Southtown and Snowtown, easy to spot by their fancy suit and hat, that functions as an Automatic Market Maker (AMM)
- Players can buy and sell certain raw materials for a price that is automatically adjusted according to supply and demand
- In order for the AMM to function it uses a Liquidity Pool (LP) where players can lock up items and get an interest rate (a proportional cut of the 0.3% fee on every trade)
- You can withdraw your share of the LP at any time but the current exchange rate will be applied so you won't necessarily get the exact same amount of items back
New item: Dust buster
- A ball of 100 smashed dust fish. When cooked on open fire it has a chance to give up to 20% more dust than just cooking the equivalent amount of plain dust fish
Trashing a portal book in the trashcan will now give you between 5 and 10 blue stars
Triple shot nerfed
You can now plant spore colonies on the edge of your plot

New unique reward when finishing eye game on first try
Player towns now correctly show the guild name of the guild owning the town instead of your own guild name
- Player towns are getting a big overhaul in the future
Hitting another player will no longer give you any skill gains
You now need to drink a genealogy potion potion in order to see blood lines in the pet popup as well
When using "Stuck?" on a plot it only takes 5 seconds to recall but will send you outside the plot (PKs will still get sent to Haven and need to wait the full 2 minutes)
- Also replaced the ugly browser's built-in confirmation prompt with the native CL prompt
You can no longer open portals to a plot you do not own
On mobile, the last chat message will be shown next to the feed button (can be disabled in options)

Removed some useless debug log messages polluting the log making it harder to pinpoint errors in runtime

0.5.8 2022-02-07

Arrows QoL

Recipe changes
- Carts now cost stone instead of iron ingots
- Planks and stone slabs are now part of the standard recipes and no longer require a crafting table or saw/hammer on ground
You can no longer kill stabled pets
- This kind of goes against the sandbox spirit but it's only temporary until I have a solution where you can't accidentally leave your pens unlocked, so you should still lock your stables
- I'm also thinking that there might be a bug where doors get unlocked by themselves. I've heard a lot of reports like that but haven't been able to reproduce it
Fixed a lot of issues with stable signs
- Still a few things left to fix
Durability of Wizard Hats has been doubled until Tailoring skill and restoration of clothes have been added

Fixed a subpixel rendering bug on the chat input making it jump slightly on switching
Fixed a bug where game froze when removing old blocks that were built on top level before height restriction was implemented (may still be cases like this for legacy blocks)
Fixed a visual glitch causing doors to get stuck
Fixed some typos and "null" texts
Added UI scaling in options
- Very experimental and you will need to manually adjust the elements with "Customize UI" after enabling
- While working on this I realized a much better solution is to put the regular "Scale" to 1x and then use the browser's built-in zoom to scale everything
When abandoning a plot it now correctly unstables any pets on the plot
The abandon plot popup now highlights the fact that you will lose all your things on the plot
- This is different from when a plot is forcibly abandoned (e.g. on map wipe). When that happens your things will normally be sent to the office

0.5.7 2022-02-01

Chest improvements
- You can now reorder items in a chest using drag'n'drop
- In the chest settings you can now choose which chest coins from sales go to and also toggle which chests goods should be taken from
  - If multiple chests are selected for cash storage it will put it in the first one
  - If multiple chests are selected for goods storage it will take wares from all selected chests in sequential order
  - If no chests have been selected it will fall back to using the first one on the plot

- Additionally, the message when exiting/entering protected area is now shown in a toast instead of log on desktop
Added alternative recipe for mana potions (magic eggs + poison ivy)
New highly experimental interpolation mode for rendering
- Interpolation mode smooths out the transition between tiles
- It's very experimental and doesn't work well with certain things such as riding and a lot of other stuff

Troopers no longer target stabled pets
Item info is now displayed directly in the crafting menu on desktop as well

Ground crafting is gone

- You still need crafting tables to unlock all crafting recipes
- Fire swords and treasure maps still need to be crafted on ground due to some legacy stuff

- Wool quality can be increased by breeding sheeps of different blood lines (the darker the wool the better the quality)
- Lineage
  - By drinking a Genealogy potion (new item, brewed with Magic eggs) you will see a visual representation of the sheep's genes and blood lines
  - After taming a sheep you will also see their blood line in the pop-up
  - You can breed two sheeps of same tier by putting them in the same stable, which will eventually spawn a higher tier lamb with their combined blood lines
  - In order for a lamb to spawn the parents' blood lines cannot overlap (i.e. they need to have uniquely different blood lines) and there needs to be space in the enclosure as per the regular stable rules
    - Example: Sheep with blood lines AB cannot mate with BC but can mate with CD, spawning a lamb with blood lines ABCD
Mana potions are now quaffed instantly and restores 40% of your mana (quaff cooldown of 10 seconds is shared with other potions)
- Heads up: Mana potions will likely require Magic eggs when brewed in the future
When hiring a Kingsguards half of the cost goes into a buffer that's released into the treasury chest when a new King is coronated
You can no longer take the throne with Kingsguards alive. You will still get flagged and attacked if trying to take it but the timer won't trigger at all so it's futile
Fixed critical bug not saving and respawning Kingsguards correctly (thanks taylorryver for helping me debug this!)
When a pet has been fully trained outside of stables it will show in the pop-up
Pets no longer block you unless you have a taming staff equipped
Roll call and transport birds can now be used independently of staffs
Archery and sorcery have been added to the skill scrolls
Bug fix: mana stones will not break if no spell is cast
Cleaned up sorting order in the crafting table
New safeguard for state consistency. It will now try to shut down the server as soon as it detects a possible anomaly, to prevent further discrepancies and server states getting out of sync (work in progress)

0.5.4 2021-07-08

Overhaul of classes
- Abilities and spells now live in a sub menu where you can switch between inventory, class specific things and paint
  - The only way to trigger abilities and spells are through the hotbar. Ability/spell items are different from the ability/spell itself (differentiated by a yellow glow) so you will likely need to update your hotbar and assign the ability/spell instead
  - Clicking on an ability/spell in the list will show stats about it
  - Recipes list and drop button have been moved to the same sub menu when inventory is open
- Abilities and spells are now upgradeable at the job centre, costing a certain amount of scrolls/books and coins for each level
  - Abilities/spells have been added as loot to most monsters. Different monsters drop different stuff and they will only drop things related to your current class (so killing a monster as warrior only gives warrior abilities as loot)
  - You can only have two abilities per class active at the same time (but unlimited spells). Use the checkbox at the job centre to toggle them
  - You can no longer craft abilities/spells
- Profession has been renamed to class
- Warrior
  - 2 new abilities
  - It no longer costs mana to activate an ability
- Ranger
  - Rogue has been renamed to ranger (rogue will make a comeback in another form)
  - Can no longer use bombs or knives
  - Copper, silver, gold and diamond arrows have been added
  - Fire bomb arrows have been added
  - Bow is now equippable and has an inherent melee damage (kick?)
  - You now shoot arrows using the hotbar by assiging the arrow to it and having the bow equipped
  - Archery skill has been added which scales the same as swordsmanship (faster shooting and increased damage)
  - 4 new abilities
- Mage
  - In order to cast a spell you need to equip a mana stone (new item) and then cast the spell through the hotbar (remember that you need to assign the spell from the spell menu and not the item itself)
  - Mana stones have an inherent melee damage
  - There are iron, copper, silver, gold and diamond mana stones. Each one has a max level for spells (e.g. if your spell level is 7 it will be capped by an iron mana stone which has a max level of 5)
  - Upgrading spells increase their mana cost at the same interval as the max level of mana stones, so you can effectively use a mana stone to downgrade a spell for it to cost less (but of course also making it less powerful)
  - Casting a spell will decrease the durability of the mana stone
  - Sorcery skill has been added which scales the same as swordsmanship (faster casting and increased damage)
  - Shock wave has been removed
  - Mages can no longer use staffs
- Tamer
  - Tamers have no abilities or spells (all current spells have been removed) but instead have...
  - Birds
    - On the map random flocks of chickens lay eggs you can pick up
    - Normal eggs are just for food (fried egg) but special eggs can be put in incubators (new item) to hatch a bird
    - Birds can then be put in bird's nests (new item) to lay more eggs
    - By having a staff equipped you can launch birds through the hotbar
    - Attack bird: This is for D3XU5. The bow is back!... kind of
    - Target bird: Low damage but makes your pets attack the target (attack bird has higher damage but doesn't aggro your pets on it). Replaces the "All, attack!" command
    - Signal bird: Same as and replaces the "All, seek and destroy!" command
    - Transport bird: Same as and replaces the Summon Pets spell
    - Roll call bird: Same as and replaces the List pets command
    - Heal bird: Heals pets for 100hp in a 3x3 pattern on impact
    - New boss drop added for making more efficient bird farms (it will also have another use in the future)
  - You can no longer hit your own pets
- All classes now insta eat food and consume potions when having a weapon equipped
- This is all work in progress and most likely very unbalanced so let me know if you have any feedback!
Most UI elements are now customizable. Feed and inventory are also resizable (when inventory is resized it will become scrollable)
When detaching the log/chat feed upon customization an arrow to expand it will become available (so you can have a really small feed but expand it when you want to read)
You can now align the whole viewport to the left, center or right
Added experimental fullscreen mode. It has a lot of quirks, e.g. when you resize the window (including going from/to actual fullscreen in the browser) it will reset all UI. It's also a bit buggy. Sometimes a resize won't actually reposition the elements correctly but make it a jumbled mess (if it happens a reload or "Reset UI" should fix it). Work in progress...
Graphics have been renamed to Options
You can now disable shadows in the settings. The shadows require a lot of complex drawing operations so disabling them should give a performance boost when rendering new chunks.. but also make everything look flat
You can now disable the log overlay (when log messages overlay the chat window). Let me know if there are anything else that should be configurable
Fixed an issue making the bars too small when customizing with the new scale mode
Changing graphics settings no longer resets UI customization
FPS meter now also shows your ping
Hotbar is now visible on mobile
On mobile, clicking the inventory icon when already selected will bring up an expanded view of the inventory that is scrollable (there's space to the right for scrolling so you don't accidentally drag'n'drop items when scrolling)
Fixed instruction text for paint showing on mobile
Pressing escape when map is open will no longer open the menu behind it
Fixed bug not spawning bone piles on big enemies correctly
Tab will now focus the chat instead of opening the map
"Stuck?" has been moved to the top of the menu and visually enhanced
Fixed a bug causing some players to be frozen a while after loading the game
Fixed a bug where locked doors incorrectly rendered the open door sprite when it was closed
Firefox Mobile will no longer go to fullscreen when pressing "Start". You can still go to fullscreen through the menu
Ancient Wisp will no longer use its power attack on you if you’re standing on your plot
More server optimizations in the NPC update loop. If NPCs are acting weird, let me know!
More rendering engine optimizations

0.5.3 2021-06-15

New rendering engine
- The 3rd iteration of trying to improve performance
- Still not 100% done but releasing it early to test it out
- The most visible change is that it renders clouds instead of blurring levels beneath player
- Added an algorithm for preventing frantic Z level layer switching when building rows of walls on higher levels
Graphics options
- You can now choose between different scale modes and also switch back to the old rendering engine if you encounter any issues
- Scale Mode A is using a CSS transform while Scale Mode B is using regular CSS properties to scale it. The old Scale Mode is scaling the actual spritesheet (slow on many devices)
- Added an FPS meter and also the ability to disable grayscale when you are dead (causes bad performance on some devices)
Target finding optimizations
- Completely remade how NPCs find targets, which is one of the most taxing operations on the servers
- This will lead to a slightly different behavior but hopefully doesn't introduce any major issues. However, if you notice something strange with the AI please let me know on Discord!
- Still much more that can be done to optimize this so work in progress
Gnome Workshops and Lumen Stones now show units produced and units required per minute for input/output
Lumen Shard changes:
- The cost of queueing Kingsguards now increases by 1 for every 100 existing queue slots (0-99: 1, 100-199: 2 etc)
- World Boss prices have been increased by 1
Glorb Dungeon now only gives a consolation prize of 5 Lumen Coins if you die in the first few rooms, so no more kamikaze farming of Red Lumen Stones
Fixed some incorrect pixels in shadows. Should look a bit better when scaled
Fixed an error preventing the game from loading in Firefox Mobile (there may be more, please report on Discord)
The Missions and Chat indicators now only blinks three times
Moving through a portal or dungeon stairs now halts the player
Eastern King's crown now has a different sprite to differentiate the Kings
"You're sending messages too fast!" trigger decreased to 0.5 seconds
Pressing M will now open the map
Disabled Spore Colonies on islands. The islands only run a subset of features right now and having NPCs (like Magic Mushrooms) on an island may corrupt it completely
Fixed some more "null" action texts
Added som easter eggs

0.5.2 2021-06-02

Hotbar
- Keyboard shortcuts are now bound to the new hotbar
- Drag an item from your inventory to assign it (you can also select an item and click on the hotbar or use corresponding shortcut)
- Use right-click (or left-click while having the hotbar menu open) to remove an item
- Click the bars icon to switch hotbars
- QERFC is now 5-9 instead of 1-5
- Hotbars are only saved in the client for now
Item lists
- In the bank and chests there's now a new icon in the bottom-right where you can add lists of items for easy withdrawal
- Simply withdraw the number of items you want and click "Save inventory as item list" to add a list
- From the item list popup you can also quickly deposit your whole inventory, making switching between builds easy
- Click the name of the item list to see what items are included
- Item lists are only saved in the client for now
Customize UI
- From the Menu you can now drag'n'drop some parts of the UI (hotbar and health bars but aiming at making everything customizable)
- UI will be reset on changing zoom
Blue lumen stones
- World bosses now reward blue lumen stones to the King when killed
- Blue lumen stones can be mined by gnomes but have no use yet. They will however be very important in a coming update
You can now use Shift+Click to withdraw the whole stack from banks and chests
Crafting tables now show how much you have of each ingredient, and what's missing
Farms on islands no longer yield seeds, only crops
It now tries to figure out the proper zoom level and resolution when entering the game for the first time (disabled for Firefox due to performance issues)
Added a PSA for new players linking to the new Game Tutorial page on the Wiki (thanks Kes!)
- A completely new tutorial island is still in the works
Backspace and arrow keys now repeat in chat window again (i.e. you can hold down backspace to delete multiple character, which was broken by the optimization in 0.5.1)
Fixed a bug with zoom being incorrectly applied to mobile, causing controls to disappear

0.5.1 2021-05-28

Portal book
- New boss drop
- Open it and click on a portal scroll in your inventory to add it
- You can rename a scroll directly from the book by clicking the name
- Portal books are blessed, meaning you will not lose them on death and they will be in your inventory after resurrection
Alchemy table
- A separate crafting table for making potions
- Health potions
  - Health potions instantly heal 40% of your max HP but have a cooldown of 10 seconds
Cooking station
- Just another crafting table for all the food to clean up some clutter
Glorb Dungeon changes
- You can now use a Recycling Badge to protect your gear from wear and tear when entering a dungeon
- You now heal automatically between rooms (you still need to manage the stamina manually though so bring those Slime Cakes)
- Slightly increased the power-up rate
- Increased and added more possible loot in the locked chests and challenge rewards
- The first few rooms in a new dungeon run now spawn less enemies
Added Recycling Badge reward for trashing Curiosity devices
Selecting an item in the Crafting Table now shows name and description in the log
- You can also now click on a cost item to get the details
You can now use Q, E, R, F and C to trigger inventory 1-5 (together with WASD this is a pretty nice one-handed mode)
Selecting inventory item with keyboard now triggers on "key down" instead of "key up", which should make it more responsive
Rewrote pet save logic to prevent chaos due to multiple servers trying to read/write same DB
- Pets that died to the pet plague of 2021 (™ aDabbleDooYa) have now been restored to the day of 0.5 release
Added more logging to detect issues
Fixed a bug with Slime Attack causing issues with static enemies
Fixed a bug where loot didn't spawn due to slime being in the way

0.5 2021-05-24

Player islands
- Island deeds can be purchased from the Deed Merchant
- Use the deed on your plot to open a portal to your island (one island per plot)
- You can use dirt, sand, snow and water buckets to terraform and expand your island (just paint with your mouse while having the material selected)
- Island portals can be relocated with an island deed
- Some things like friends and guilds are currently disabled on islands (will be fixed in the future)
Gnomes
- Gnomes and gnome items can be purchased from the gnome village/island in the archipelago west of Spider Cave
- On your island, set up a production chain of gnomes and gnome workshops to mine lumen stones and refine the lumen into lumen coins and lumen shards
- To assign a gnome, select it and then use it on the checkpoints in the order the gnome should work. Examples:
  - Mine lumen stones
    1. Place a lumen stone
    2. Place a chest
    3. Select gnome and use it on the lumen stone and then on the chest
    4. The gnome will go to the lumen stone, start mining (mining takes 12 seconds) and put the lumen into the chest
  - Produce green lumen squares
    1. Place a gnome workshop, select green lumen square
    2. Place a chest
    3. Select gnome and use it on the chest with the green lumen mined from the stone, then on the gnome workshop and finally on the chest where it should place the manufactured square
- For recipes requiring multiple items the pick-up chest will need to contain everything required (the gnome will wait at the chest until it is fulfilled)
- Gnomes can also be assigned to just transport items between two chests
- Gnomes have some rules on when they will block each other:
  - Gnomes carrying items will be blocked by other gnomes carrying items
  - Other gnomes will only be blocked by gnomes who are waiting (clock) or are broken (exclamation mark)
- Gnome tablets can be used to manage your gnomes (and pause production). When using the tablet while standing on a route checkpoint the gnomes in that route will be highlighted
- Gnomes will become broken if their assigned route has its checkpoints changed (e.g. chest or workshop removed) or if their route has been blocked (e.g. by walls or facing off with another gnome). You can resume and let them try again (after fixing the issue) with the gnome tablet
- Lumen stones contain 200 lumen by default and can be refilled by using another lumen stone on it
- Gnome items have been added as boss drops to dillute the loot table
Dungeon Master
- In the Kingstowns there are now new buildings housing the Dungeon Master
- The Dungeon Master lets you enter procedurally generated dungeons and challenges by paying a fee in lumen coins
- There's currently just one dungeon available (mostly as a proof of concept) which rewards you with red lumen stones required to craft lumen shards in your gnome factory
- Dying in the dungeon will not actually kill you but instead teleport you to the exit room where you get a reward based on how far you made it. This means that dying in a challenge dungeon is risk-free
World Boss Summoner
- In the castles there are now Summoners who can summon world bosses
- Summoning a world boss costs lumen shards and can only be done by the King
Lumen shards can also be used to queue up Kingsguards
Stuff outside plots and islands will now decay over time. The higher level the player is the longer the decay time is
Food will now be eaten directly on inventory selection when having a sword equipped, without having to change active item and manually eat it (similar to how abilities like Bash and Slam work, only warriors for now)
Items will now display anything above 1000 with a k notation. You can hover the item to see the exact quantity
When typing in local chat a "..." bubble will now show above the player
Criminals can now be resurrected in towns (murderers still cannot)
You can no longer build blocks or stairs on the max level
When changing Z level it no longer does an unnecessary full redraw which should decrease the lag
Entities walking into projectiles and spells should now correctly register as a hit
Fixed a bug causing doors to get visually stuck after certain sequences
When having Zoom enabled it now tints the sprite correctly (e.g. red when hit and blue when frozen) without blur and overflow
Earthquake, snow trails etc now renders below entities
Fixed one case of black screen and frozen browser after teleport (there may be more, please report!)
A lot of different "Server down" errors instead of an infinitely loading spinner
Chat bubbles now renders correctly when Zoom is used
Fixed some items (such as map fragments) showing "null" instead of "drop" on the action button
Crops next to plots can now be harvested (but nothing new can be sowed next to a plot)
Various implementations of stuff behind-the-scenes to enable features and changes in future updates
Fixed a lot of issues causing various server errors and warnings
Most time was obviously spent creating the new server infrastructure which was a massive project. Next patch will focus on all the feature requests/suggestions and bug reports that have piled up

Fixed a bug with poison messing up the spatial partioning when poison delivers the final blow
Fixed a bug spawning mushrooms in strange places

0.4.3 2020-09-14

- Slimes from slime attacks and Mega Slime also despawn after a while
Guild members can now fight in the arena
You can now use things such as pet commands on empty bone piles
- You can now also drop things on empty bone piles

0.3.6 2020-05-21

Please do a hard reload in your browser in order to update the client (Ctrl+Shift+R on Win and Cmd+Shift+R on Mac)

Server optimizations
- I've made huge changes to the whole architecture to better support more concurrent players and pets
- If you're interested in the techniques used it's mostly been about implementing quadtrees, spatial partioning, position caches, memoization and updating socket protocols
- Unfortunately the socket upgrade made the old transfer protocol non-compatible which means the version ping-pong that usually detects whether a client needs to be updated stopped working as well. Make sure you do a hard reload in case it doesn't work
- Some of the more experimental optimizations may actually backfire and give worse performance but I need to measure it first
- This patch focuses entirely on server optimizations, another patch will focus on getting better client and rendering performance
PKs in dungeons now show up in a list on the map
HP bars now show up on your own sprite as well
Added a warning 10 seconds before the hourly server save to prepare you for the lag
Chatting will now refresh your AFK timer
Your client will no longer automatically try to reconnect after a disconnection
- You will instead get a popup telling you that you have disconnected together with a Reload button
- This is a regression but until I've figured out a way to gracefully reconnect a client and avoid all the strangeness that came with it I think this is better
- If you experience a lot of disconnections please report it on Discord together with the reason shown in the popup
The log will now truncate after 500 items
Lots of refactoring and micro-optimizations

0.3.5 2020-05-14

- Claiming the throne now flags you a criminal
- Attacking someone claiming the throne makes you a criminal as well (regardless of their status)
- The King will also get flagged when attacking someone claiming the throne
NPCs and pets now only blocks you when you have a weapon or taming staff equipped
Ghosts no longer block NPCs
Your corpse will now override empty bone piles and arrows

Fishing
- You can fish everywhere but there are some set spots with schools of specific fishes

- Stray fishes and oysters can be caught everywhere but it's random
- Spots get depleted but are renewed once in a while. If it takes too long to catch something you can tell that the spot has been overfished

- Used to craft portals and ankhs
New fauna: rabbits, cows and wolves
Animal training and player stables
- Buy a stable deed from a deed merchant to make your stable
- Stable a pet and feed it in order to passively train speed, hp and domesticity while you're away
- Feeding it in your stable will also make it available for active training (speed for horses and hp for combat pets)
- You can put a pet for sale that other players can buy by accessing your stable sign
- The old "Feed" command has been replaced with "Give snack" (in order to maintain domesticity). Feeding in stables will require better food

- Work in progress... Lots of things planned for this, such as breeding
Tamer improvements
- You will no longer hit your pets with projectiles, meaning you can target enemies much easier
- Pets will try to avoid running in front of you
- New "Move" command in case a pet is in the way
- All professions can use a taming staff to access the pet menu (in order to feed your mount and give instructions) but only tamers can tame and have pets fight for them

  - Summon pets will teleport all pets next to you that are not stabled, mounted or have been instructed to stay (this means you can bring them inside dungeons and behind doors)
- Enemies will now target your pets
- Players need to enable PK to kill other players' pets, which will also flag them as criminals
- You can no longer stable "useless" pets (goats and cows), only mounts and combat pets

Legendary mounts
- Very rare and hard to tame
- There can only be one wild legendary mount of each type in the world at the same time
Hover mouse over item in inventory to see name and description
