After getting requests for years, I am finally adding support for custom notes in Shattered Pixel Dungeon!

You can make plain text notes, or attach them to a dungeon floor or item. These are a great way of keeping track of information between play sessions, or deduced properties of unidentified items. Custom note titles will even appear in the descriptions of their items!

(Image Description: An image showing the various UIs for adding custon notes. A selection window for adding them is shown on the left. A cropped window is on the top-right, showing five custom notes in the adventuring notes UI. Another cropped window is in the bottom right, showing a custom note appearing in an item’s description.)

    Yessssss! I am a super casual player by now, meaning there sometimes weeks before I play again. I often don’t remember that I already “know” which scroll is an upgrade scroll or which potion is a fire potion. So this is definitely appreciated.

      Hah! As far as I’m aware Java is a pretty memory-safe language, and the game has also already supported text input for a while now, so hopefully never.

    Just wondering when you plan on releasing this update in alpha? Its close to the date you had anticipated after the last update.

      No specific date yet, but we are getting close. I said ‘sometime in July’ and I think that’s still accurate, though it’ll be later obviously.

      It’s worth noting that v2.5 ended up growing quite a bit bigger than I initially planned for it to be.
