    Mario sends word that he's <a href="http://lambdarogue.net/dl-showentry.php?n=79">released update 1.3 to his rogue-like</a>. In this edition:
    <br>
    <blockquote>This version introduces new dungeon features, thiefs can finally steal, damage calculations and thus balancing have changed and some major bugs (like unsolvable quests) have been fixed.
    <br>
    <br>
    This version also introduces some features which make the gameplay more interesting, although most things are known from other roguelikes:
    <br>
    <br>
    * find your way through dark rooms where nothing is visible
    <br>
    * beware of spider webs which entrap you as well as monsters
    <br>
    * search for hidden doors
    <br>
    * sit down on stools to regain PP
    <br>
    * use bookshelves to study and train your skills when no academy is in sight
    <br>
    * destroy barrels to reveal items
    <br>
    * if you're a thief, steal money from NPCs or items from traders</blockquote>
    <br>
    At least it's not an FPS {Exploding barrel cliche reference}. Be sure to check out the screenshots too and rejoice at the lack of ASCII. All I have to do now is figure out how to get out of the spiderweb...
    <br>
    <br>
    Thanks <b>Mario</b>!

    Fantastic work on this release and the hotfix shortly thereafter. I eagerly await the December update that seems to be in the works and the further development of this project. Thanks for everything!

    Looks like an album cover I've seen. Can't place the name of the band though.

    Art from the game looks good.

    @ getter77:

    Thanks; the 1.4 release in December will continue with the goal to make dungeons more interesting. Besides several balancing issues will be addressed (perhaps you've recognized that there are a lot of "you fail" resp. "tries to attack, but misses" messages when attacking or being attacked ...)


    @ Applegate's Breasts:

    The picture is composed from 3 deviantART-stock photographs and some GIMP editing. I can imagine that the idea of a desert and lonely men in it has been used by several artists :)

    Reminds me of the Rumors cover but set on another planet.
