GUBBINS

PATCH NOTES
1 FEB 2024


Gubbins 1.0.7

Hello folks, HNY! just a littlish one here today, a more “back end” focused patch with a few quality of life features and some funky fresh Gubbintine content <3 Basically we’re in for the long haul and we’re trying to set ourselves up with systems to make supporting this game easy! We won’t rest until our dictionary is truly seamless and every little bug is thwarted.

We’re hard at work with a bigger, more content-oriented update (Gubs, perhaps??). We’ll keep you in the loop with what that’ll entail. As always please hit us with your questions and feature requests!
VALENTINE’S DAY STICKERS!

Send your loved one a cute little Gubbins postcard with our free, seasonal Valentines day stickers and backgrounds. These will be active in-game from the 4th to the 18th of February!
DICTIONARY

Over 1000 words have been added to the dictionary! Thank you kindly for using our word submission form.

Dictionary is now streamed from cloud hosting on startup. This will allow us to update the dictionary on the fly instead of relying on a new build. BETTER DICTIONARY HUZZAH!

 GUBBINS RELATED ERRORS

Game will now attempt to catch gubbins related errors and show an alert to the user, ask them to report the bug, and then continue the game with the culprit tile removed. Hopefully you don’t see this, but if you do you have the opportunity to send us critical info required to solve the bug!

POSTCARD MAKER!


Added an “are you sure” prompt when leaving the postcard maker due to popular demand, making it harder to lose postcards + score screens you aren’t done with yet! FYI we’re considering more robust longer term solutions like a “previous game” catalogue or something similar too.

PUSH NOTIFS


We want to send you helpful and deranged notifications about Gubbins! You should get a popup about this when you start the game up, obvy feel free to deny our request.

MISC + FIXES


  • Improved memory usage for Gubs and Stickers
  • Turning off the “gatecrasher” anims now correctly works in the Accessibility Options
  • Fixed the Car and Lightbulb Gubbins from getting confused and failing to solve longer words.
  • Updated and improved our anagram tech generally, ensuring the game can more accurately detect and create valid words
  • Filtered all words that include a Q without a following U from our “common words” list, preventing this letter sequence from appearing in tile generation.
  • Removed SPICE from Chilli's generated word list.

GUB ON!
