Progress 03.08.2026 and Changelog for Sorcerer 2 0.15.0
Hello all!
So, yeah... as usual, things happened as one would expect. And the release is happening more or less on time... Yay?
Meanwhile, rendering of 0.16.0 has started, writing is moving to 0.19.0 so I’m mostly content with how things are going on that front. And now... some other business before all the fun stuff.
There were some comments that this particular scene might be hard to read. It’s fair criticism. So I did something about it. Notice the ? In the top-left corner? Clicking that will bring up a clearer version of the thing on the phone.
As you can see, easier to read. In the future, when there is something similar, the ? Will be in the corner for a clearer view if needed. You can just click and close the screen, nothing else needed. And then that led to something else as well...
Occasionally Alexander looks at his phone; this is mostly just for scene filler and nothing important. Once again you notice the ? In the corner, you get to see what is on the screen. Mind you, it isn’t anything story-related as is; if it would the phone screen would be shown. So world building. And if you happen to miss them? Not a problem.
There is, opportunity to read (note at this time only ones Alexander receives at this stage) whenever you want, basically. It has issues at the moment since it is first iteration. Some text is currently different in the game than in the next version. But you can access the phone from the quick menu. You need to use the arrows to bring the "messages" up at least on the first time, then it is stored in the save.
The blue icon (when highlighted) opens it. I’ll add an icon variant when there are new things to look at in there. But it’s more of a "history" feature for some world building if you will. There probably won’t be much in there, and it can be ignored and you don’t miss anything story-wise, but it’s something "nice" to have in a way. Note: This doesn't currently work on Android as it threw up... interesting error message. But rest are there and working. I'll try to get it working there ASAP.
Then added the delete icon in the save/load screen in the pictures. Hooray... And then the fun stuff.
Somewhere nice and warm... This is a test for a future scene. It is missing things, so no spoilers yet, story-wise at least. And yes, I am bringing Marella back to the game with a larger presence. So there is that. And now the important bits.

I didn't have any problems reading the text, but I am using a 55 inch 4K tv as a monitor and I'm sat less than a meter away 🤣
Just in time for my birthday on sunday
Looking Good. Still sucks I have to wait till the 6th of August to get my $10 Tier Access, being 10 to 17 hours in front of most people. :P
Well... the access starts in 4 hours and 6 minutes >.> But yeah, timezones can be... annoying... =P
dark text on bright backgrounds are a challenge to my impaired vision.. 14-16p0int with something blocking the rest of the bright bckground is necessary. Best for me is wheat text on dark slate gray where I can read 8-point easily. (Yeah the ancient colors for emacs rexr.) Just sharing my experience for data...
Truthfully, I'm considering redoing the phone "message screens" so it would be "dark mode", just the minor issue that I'm not a graphic or UI designer hinders things a bit >.>
Thank You Tal ❤️❤️😁
Marella coming in? Didn't see that coming. ^^
