Version Updates:

This new version includes many changes. We won’t bother you with the details here, as you can read it all in the game’s splash screen, but in summary:

• New art style

• The character generator

• Inspect mode

• Dungeon exploration

• Dungeon events; including traps, dialogues and dilemmas

• Loot; including potions and battle charms

• Out-of-combat HUD and UI

• A few new combat elements, like the Meatshield ability or the Goblin Dung Slinger

• Many improvements to existing combat features, stats and UX

In other words, the aim with v3 was to go beyond a simple combat playtest, and to expand it to be a dungeon delve simulation. Of course, this is in no way complete or fully polished, but we’re adding to the experience one step at a time. Let us know if you think we are on the right track.

The step after this one? The open world.
