The new death screen! It now has several resurrection options, though they aren't usable yet - the only selectable option is "Surrender", which deletes the character permanently.  I'm still mulling over the design a bit before finishing the other options.

Health and damage are also getting a rework, which is mostly done and live.  It's not a dramatic shift, but it's a lot tighter and fixes some longstanding issues I've had with the design of the health system.

Bats and Wights can now be encountered, though I'm still fiddling with names/sprites/etc.  Wights are rare and quite strong, bats are weaker and more common.

Patch Notes:

  • New death screen
  • Resurrection options and requirement functionality
  • Bat is finished, and added to room schemas
  • Wight is added to room schemas
  • A few other room schemas added
  • Initial implementation of body part severing
  • Fixed bug with death and player controllers
  • Fixed bug with dead players not recieving some level data
  • Fixed a typo in keyboard control key names
  • Fixed a bug where adjacency data was not loaded for far away tiles
  • Fixed an issue with discord message bridging
  • Made z-sorting stable, so that items on the ground don't change order
  • Misc. internal improvements that will likely be live soon

Also, the feedback UI has been improved on mobile landscape (or other small screens), and there are minor UI improvements elsewhere.  Character attributes got a small touch up, but I'm still working on how I want to display health and wounds.

More to come with 0.3.1 soon - notably the news feature, so recent news (such as this blog post) will show up in the news tab right above updates.
