I'm pleased to announce version 0.7 of "The Testament of the White Cypress" for Windows, Mac, and Linux.
This new version includes further implementation of the gameplay design, and fixes a number of bugs reported by playtesters. Here are the download links, followed by a complete list of changes.

For Linux: Indiedb.com
- New frozen-forest and river crossing areas with dangerous thin ice.
- Cold and hunger are now fully functional. You can starve and/or freeze to death. Some areas are colder than others, and getting wet will quickly cause Geoffrey to begin freezing.
- Traveling and combat now cause hunger.
- Wolves are faster and more difficult to kill.
- Silver arrows do high extra damage on wolves.
- Wolf corpses can be turned into jerky with the new Cure Meat spell.
- Geoffrey can only camp once in each location; the camp auto-returns to you when traveling.
- Camping now requires firewood.
- The Scroll of Helping is open by default.
- Pop-up scrolls now cascade at the right edge of the screen when several are open.
- Geoffrey now begins his journey with a loaf of bread in his knapsack.
- New keyboard shortcuts: "M" for map, "I" for inventory, "S" for spellbook.
- Fixed inventory pop-up icon spacing.
- Fixed disappearing check-boxes.
- Fixed berry bush inventory crash.
- Fix arrow rendering issues.
- Geoffrey can no longer walk on top of pop-up scrolls.
- Only one description bubble is shown at a time.
- There is now a proper title screen.
While things are still in a relatively rough state as of 0.7, I hope you will enjoy this new version of Cypress, and I'm curious to hear your feedback. Please leave comments here if you experience problems or have suggestions; you can also email me at dto@blocky.io.
Thanks for reading!
