As more new content is added to the game, the loading times get longer, so I figured we can use that loading screen to show some useful tips, esp. for the new players.
A new version is out (2.1.2) with the tips on loading screen and:
- added an option to automatically detect the aspect ratio and pick the best resolution for screens larger than 1920x1080
- added a screen resolution confirmation screen. If you get a blank screen due to invalid resolution you can now wait or press ESC to cancel the change instead of having to delete the settings file manually
- fixed a bug when a thief would sometimes be shown alive on the screen when he was dead in networked games
- buffed Poison and Snailbite arrows
- nerfed Ice arrows duration
- lowered mana cost for the Snake Staff
- added UTF8 support for text printing in preparation for future translations
I will now start addressing some of the ideas and problems the players mentioned in the discussion forums. After those are implemented I plan to start working on the Catacombs level.
