Update 1.0.1.0: Ex-Othello, Weighted Loot Tables, and Tools of Chaos


Hello Adventurers, Thinkers, and Creators,

Just when you thought the universe of Yu Roguelike couldn't get any stranger, we're thrilled to push the boundaries of game design, productivity, and sheer madness even further with Update 1.0.1.0!

This update is packed with features that deepen the core experience and add entirely new dimensions of play. Let's dive into what's new.

Introducing "Ex-Othello": The Board Game You Know, Reimagined.

We asked a simple question: "What if Othello wasn't bound by an 8x8 grid? What if the board itself was part of the strategy?" The result is Ex-Othello, a brand new minigame mod that takes the classic game of black and white discs and launches it into the stratosphere.

This isn't just Othello with a bigger board. This is Othello generalized.

(Pictured: A perfectly normal game of Ex-Othello. We think.)

  • Variable Board Sizes & Walls: Play on a tiny 6x6 grid for a frantic duel, a massive 64x64 battlefield for an epic war, or on procedurally generated dungeon maps pulled directly from the Block Dimension engine! Yes, the terrain from your roguelike adventures is now your Othello battlefield.
  • Sandbox Mode: Become the game designer. Craft your own boards, place walls, set bizarre starting positions, and challenge the AI (or yourself) with unsolvable puzzles. This isn't just a game; it's a research platform for the future of board games.
  • Reverse the Rules: Activate "Low Count" mode, where the goal is to have the fewest discs on the board to win. Watch in delight as the "Hard" AI, in its quest for board domination, brilliantly plays itself into a corner and secures your victory. It’s a masterclass in strategic self-destruction.

We can't wait to see the chaotic brilliance you create (and conquer) in Ex-Othello.

Gamify Your Life with Precision: Weighted Loot Tables for the To-Do List

The To-Do List has always been the heart of turning your real life into an RPG. Now, we're giving you the power of a true Game Master.

With the new Weighted Reward Tables, you're no longer just setting a single reward for a task. You can now define a loot table with multiple possible outcomes, each with its own probability weight.

  • "Clean the Kitchen" Quest: Does it reward a simple Potion? Or is there a 1% chance to drop the legendary spElixir? You decide!
  • Add Excitement to Mundane Tasks: Turn everyday chores into a thrilling game of chance. Motivate yourself with the possibility of that ultra-rare drop for finally doing the laundry. The power to balance your own life's rewards is now in your hands.

New Minigame Mod: The Random Tools Suite

For those moments when you need a touch of pure, unadulterated chance, we've added a new suite of utility minigames. As always, using them grants you EXP.

  • Roulette Wheel & Dice Roller: Perfect for making decisions, running your own tabletop games within the game, or simply seeing where fate lands.
  • Random Text & Number Generators: Need a random name for your next D&D character? A random number for a lottery? It's all here.

Yu Roguelike: every action, every thought, every moment of creativity—and even every moment of chance—is a step forward in your adventure.

Thank you for being a part of this journey. Now, go explore the new dimensions we've unlocked. We'll be watching (and playing Ex-Othello on a 64x32 river map).

Happy adventuring!
