New Version 18.09.23

Hi everybody, we just pushed a new version of the game to Steam and itch. Again this version is mostly focusing on bugfixes, though we added a couple of new features. It is compatible with previous saves.

Adventuring Parties

There is a new diplomacy screen that allows you to send adventuring parties to other factions on the map. There are three kinds of adventuring parties: Raids, Trade and Peace. Your dwarfs will leave via balloon port to travel to the faraway faction, and various events happen to them along the way.

Xray view

You can now press TAB to toggle X-ray view. This allows you to see explored caves under the surface in 3D.

Changes

• AI bug: do not allow crafters to be assigned crafting tasks if they are unconscious.
• AI bug: cooking is now considered to be of type “Cook” rather than “Craft”.
• Crafting tasks now contain the number of repeats and the type of item in their name.
• Fix bug that would cause mouse to become frozen when minimizing the game while walk camera is active.
• Fix infinite loop bug caused by offering goblins dirt.

• New artwork for magic towers and summoning circles.
• Allow destroying zones with the destroy tool.
• New panel for viewing the list of rooms available.
• New “Help” menu that can be accessed by pressing escape. This menu contains all the tutorial text.

• Fix issues with camera translating over a large pit while terrain auto-following is enabled.
• Fix walk camera getting stuck inside terrain.
