Paper Dungeons [1.18] Cosmetics & User friendly patch

Version 1.18 Release Notes Tuesday, November 25, 2014

This patch shows a bunch of cosmetic changes (pretty menu stickers! Icons!) and many new user friendly features (identify/uncurse items in Shops/Temples! Save and quit in Adventure/Puzzle mode! etc). We focused on a more comprehensive game interface, smoother in game movements to improve your gaming experience. Lookie here! Gameplay:

• The player’s sprite now follows the selected path instead of teleporting to its destination.

• Added a walking animation on the player’s sprite.

• Added new camera option that stays centered on the player’s sprite.

• Camera movements are now smoother.

New features:

• All game modes now benefit of a “save & quit” option, allowing to save, exit the game and come back later to finish a specific level.

• Adventure & Rogue modes: When an Escape power is used in combat the monster now stays damaged, so you can now escape a difficult situation and come back later finish the monster.

• AddedAdventure & Rogue modesThe inventory is now available in fight.

• Adventure & Rogue modes: Only pieces of equipment that are usable by your class are now dropping.

• AdjustedAdventure & Rogue modesYou can now identify your items at the shop for a reduced price of 30 Gold.
• AdjustedAdventure & Rogue modesYou can now un-curse your items at the temple for a reduced price of 60 Piety points.

• All modes: Spells requiring a target (Dispel or Ice blast) can now be cancelled, by clicking again on the spell’s icon or its shortcut. Doing so will recover your mana loss.

• Adventure & Rogue modes: Powers requiring a target can now be cancelled by clicking again on the power’s icon or its shortcut.

• Rogue mode: After killing the boss or the last monster on the map, the next level won’t load automatically anymore: instead, a special teleporter will appear, which allows you to jump to the next level only once you decide.
