11 Jul 2026Developer post

Version Number Info

Our version numbers are 1-based, and therefore 3.1 is the first version in the 3.x series. There is no version 3.0.

Added Save File Transfer functionality to move saved games across platforms, accessible via a new button in Vault.
Migrated all C struct bitfields (such as struct monst and struct obj) to explicit, platform-portable bitmask flags to fix cross-platform save game compatibility issues. Bitfields have been entirely removed.

Settings have now descriptions that can be viewed by tapping or clicking on the setting label.
Migrated C code to ANSI C89 from K&R.

Added 28 new monsters (and 4 for future use):

Rakshasas (including rakshasa rajah and rakshasa maharaja) that are immune to normal weapons similar to shades and that have an illusory appearance similar to a cloned Wizard of Yendor.
New dinosaurs and prehistoric creatures, mostly encountered on caveman levels.
Saber-tooth tigers. Changed the starting pet for the Caveman role to a saber-tooth tiger cub. There are now also tigername and tigergender options for saber-tooth tigers.
Griffons (including elder griffon), Nightmares, and bulettes.
Orc hermit also got his own monster and graphics.

Added 6 new spells: Astral Vision, True Seeing, Dominate Undead, Polymorph Self, Shape Change, and Unholy Mount.
Polymorph spell is now called Polymorph Other (although you can still target yourself).
New true seeing property gives the ability to see through invisibility, illusions / mimicry, hallucinations, and polymorphed forms.
Redesigned the spell duration system to be additive but capped at the maximum possible single-cast roll (i.e., number of dice × die size + constant).
Increased Astral Vision range to 5 to distinguish it further from X-ray vision.

Added 5 new items: Gem of seeing (gives true seeing) and 4 ioun stones: Magical breathing, fire resistance, cold resistance, and shock resistance.
Allowed gnolls of all alignments to obtain the Howling Flail.
Belts of giant strength have now varying chances of wishing success, with storm giant strength at 33% and hill giant strength at 100%. If it fails, a belt of hill giant strength is obtained instead.
