Encounter: A 8-Bit Noir Adventure... Patch Notes — February 5, 2026
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
I got feedback from a few players who suggested some quality of life improvements as well as found a few bugs, so I spent a bit of time testing and fixing, the main change being the order of the words in the selection menu.
Here is the full list of changes:
- Reordered the list of words in the menu so most commonly used words are faster to access
- Trying to open or close the trashcan now shows the disgusting content scene instead of saying "can't do"
- Improved the handling of the net to reduce the number of "can't do that"
- Fixed some issues regarding the selection of containers and using ESCape to cancel the operation
- Hopefully fixed an issue regarding counting the number of items in the inventory when trying to fetch something that requires a container
- Optimisation: Rewrote ParseInputBuffer to assembler to reduce the size of the code
The optimisation was not really necessary, but it gave me about 800 bytes of additional memory which I could use to add a couple interactions here and there, so it's more like for future improvements.
Hopefully I did not break anything when doing it!
