Bingle Bingle News

Hello Bingle Bingle players,

Today, we're releasing a patch that includes an update for the language customization feature and some minor bug fixes.

[h2]Language Customization Patch[/h2]

First, we've added French, Russian, Spanish, Korean, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese to Bingle Bingle. We've also refined the existing English translations for clearer expressions!

The added languages were prioritized based on popular demand. However, the current translations are in beta and provided as examples. Since machine translation was used, please understand if the quality is not perfect. Report any problematic text to us, and we'll strive to improve the translations.



[h3]How to Add Translation Files for Unsupported Languages[/h3]

0. Before starting, note the path for the KnittingGames folder as follows:
1) For Windows: "user/appdata/roaming"
2) For Linux: "home - *show hidden files* - .local/share"

1. Create a folder named after the language you want to add (let's call this language "Binglian") in the knittinggames/binglebingle/language directory.

2. Inside knittinggames/binglebingle/language/Binglian, create GameText.json and language.json files, and add a font file [e.g., ttf, otf].

If you create a folder with a name that exactly matches the spelling of officially supported languages in the current live version settings—English, French, Spanish, Korean, Russian, Japanese, Chinese—the embedded fonts in 'bingle bingle' will be used. Therefore, there will be no issues even if the font is not included in the language folder.
However, if you create a folder with a different name, even for the same language (e.g., japanese(0.4.1)), it will be considered a new language, and font files will be required.
So please ensure that you include font information and files if you are not using a folder name that exactly matches the in-game language name. This is essential for proper functionality.

3. Populate the language.json file with character data. (Be sure to refer to the provided link.)


{
"code": "BGN", "name": "Binglian", "huge": { (Each language file must include data for all four sizes: huge, large, medium, and small.)
"name": "Fontname.ttf", "size": 10, "xAdjust": 0, "yAdjust": 0, "widthAdjust": 0, "heightAdjust": 0 }
}

4. Next, fill in the translation contents in the GameText file. (Refer to the provided link.)



English Version
{
"code": "TokenSide.NORMAL",
"version": "0.4.1",
"name": "Normal Ball",
"shortName": "Normal Ball",
"description": "Rolls a ball.",
"activeDescription": "Rolls a ball. Its value increases by {pointColor}5{clearColor} per ability level.\n({pointColor}{levelValue}{clearColor} points)"
}

Korean Version
{
"code": "TokenSide.NORMAL",
"version": "0.4.1",
"name": "일반 볼",
"shortName": "일반 볼",
"description": "볼을 굴립니다.",
"activeDescription": "볼을 굴립니다. 능력 강화 시 가치가 {pointColor}5{clearColor} 증가합니다.\n({pointColor}{levelValue}{clearColor} 포인트)"
}

5. Run the game, change to the newly added Test version in the options, and restart Bingle Bingle.

6. All done! Now you can play Bingle Bingle in the new language!




[h3]How to Modify Already Supported Languages[/h3]

Modifying a supported language follows a similar process to adding a new translation file, but you can easily make changes by applying already translated data from the provided link. Since the font data is embedded in the game, you don’t need to add font files separately for modifications. In the language.json file, you only need to enter the language code and name. Use the translated data from the link for the GameText.json file.

*Important Notes*

*Make sure the folder name in the new path matches the language name in the language.json file*
*Ensure the version data in the GameText file matches the latest version (0.4.1 as of writing)*
*If you want to use a different font from the ones already in use, follow the method for adding a new language.*


We will provide examples of the GameText and language json files separately on the Bingle Bingle Discord channel below. Please check the link for detailed information!

“In this patch, Special Pockets, Darts, and Pocket Packs have been added.

- Gluttony Pocket: Consumes balls that enter this slot. Each consumed ball grants 15 points. Price - 5 Coins

“Darts are unlocked after clearing Stage 3 once and become available in the next game. They start appearing from Stage 2 and modify the roulette.”

“Darts add various positive or negative effects to the round, providing diversity to regular rounds. The number of Darts increases as you progress through the stages, with 0 to 3 Darts appearing per round.”

“Additionally, Pocket Packs have been introduced, allowing a new way to adjust the numbers on the roulette. After selecting the corresponding bet, Pocket Packs provide multiple numbers related to that bet. They appear with low probability in the shop’s Pocket slots. With Pocket Packs, players can more actively modify the roulette to their desired form.”

“The overall system has been balanced accordingly due to the addition of these elements.”

[h3]Balance Adjustments:[/h3]

“Until now, the game design allowed players to automatically get stronger as they progressed, with increases in round tokens, discards, and reward coins. This excess in later rounds overshadowed the sense of achievement from active strategies like using items or quests. To address this, we're standardizing resource amounts in the later game stages. This patch will introduce new features to help players grow stronger in a more balanced way.”

- Starting from Stage 2, round tokens and discards per round will be consistently 6 and 5, regardless of the stage
- Starting from Stage 2, each round will give 8 gold coins.
- Starting from Stage 2, boss rounds will provide 12 gold coins.

[h3]Ball or Bet Adjustments:[/h3]

Balls

“The multi-ball was already the most valuable in earlier versions. With new special pockets, its value rose further, leading to adjustments. Now, while the multi-ball's base value is higher, its enhancement from scoring points has been moderated.”

- Corrected the issue where balls had lower point values at higher token levels.
- Super Ball Points: 15/20/25/35/45/55/75 > 15/20/25/30/45/60/80
- Repeat Ball Points: 10/15/15/20/25/25 > 10/15/20/25/35/45/60
- Ice Ball Points: 15/20/25/35/45/55/75 > 15/20/25/30/45/60/80
- Heart Ball Points: 15/20/25/35/45/55/75 > 15/20/25/30/45/60/80
- Large Ball Points: 15/20/25/35/45/55/75 > 15/20/25/30/45/60/80
- Target Ball Points: 15/20/25/30/35/40/45 > 15/20/25/30/45/60/80
- Wave Ball Points: 1/1/1/1/1/1/1 > 1/4/7/10/16/22/31
- Multi Ball Points: 5/7/9/11/15/19/25 > 10/15/20/25/35/45/60
- Multi Ball: now only score x0.5
- Multi Ball: number of balls 2/3/4/5 > 3/4/5/6 depending on the level.

“Although Mirror Bet was intended to be used with balls like the Target Ball or Large Ball, its power level was too weak, making it often better not to use it. This ambiguity in its usefulness led to it feeling like a poor choice and thus, it was rarely used. By enhancing its strength, it is intended to be used in a variety of ways.”

- Mirror Bet: x1.5/x2/x2.5/x3.5 > x2/x3/x4/x5
- New: Crown Bet
- Crown Bet: Provides additional chips when there are no other affecting bets in the same pocket. Chips x1.5/x2/x2.5/x3.5 depending on the level.
- Crown Bet Price: 8coins
- Flash Bet Price: 3coins > 7coins
- Echo Bet Price: 3coins > 6coins
- Ice Bet Price: 3coins > 6coins
- Color/ Even odd/ High low Bet Chips: 20/30/40/70/100/130/180 > 20/30/40/50/70/90/120

- Corner Bet Chips: 60/90/120/180/240/300/400 > 60/95/130/165/235/305/410
- Street Bet Chips: 70/105/140/210/280/350/460 > 70 110 150 190 270 350 470
- Split Bet Chips: 80/120/160/240/320/400/540 > 80/125/170/215/305/395/ 530
