At last, I've finished all the minor tasks I wanted to do before the release. Now my task is to add the real new content of the v1.0, and that's going to be fun!

First, there will be a few game modes that have been discussed in the forum. If I have enough time, I hope to do those four ones: "Sky World" (a very random world layout), "Under the sea" (you start in a cavern under a huge ocean), "Tower Defense" (build a base to survive as long as possible, with regular income), and an "Editor Mode" that will give you a little more options than the current post-game mode.

But I'll also add another feature that wasn't planned at all, but should add a lot of interest to the game: a "Hazardous Environment" game option! It will be available for every mode (and for existing games too, with the /param command). This option will add some catastrophic events every day: massive flood, meteor shower, water turning acid, etc. I can't wait to do it… and try it!

As planned, the final v1.0 will increase the game price to its final $12. And as for the previous major updates, you'll be able to try the changes in the Beta branch while i develop them (and help me find the issues!)



About this minor v0.35 update, here is the change log. I'll most probably upload some minor fixes and balance builds, as some changes have not been tested very well. So don't hesitate to give me any feedback about the changes - especially the new Demon attack!

v0.35 (Build 638)

- Improved aggro mechanism : monsters and bosses don't switch targets all the time when attacked by several players
