Subterrane v0.137 Alpha Released
Tarindel
As mentioned previously, this version contains many behind the scenes
changes (including a revamping of the combat code) to allow for more
flexibility in the future. Many of these changes haven't been turned
into actual features yet, but you'll see them show up in future
versions. One example of a major coding change that does show up this
version is the food freshness system. Food will now spoil over time,
so don't hoard all your food for too long! The other major features
of this version include a new race, a spell-system, and the start of
implementing the wizard class (which still has a ways to go).
The next version of Subterrane will contain a HUGE number of very
visible changes, as I am planning to revamp both the attribute system
mechanics and combat system mechanics!

bolt.

in a future version.

of
lower freshness than food created from fresh corpses.

to
handle periodic effects of those items.
* Mod: Monsters now have a variable amount of meat on them based on
race and
weight.

more
than just the skinning process.

interface.

larger effect on bonuses/penalties than race.

not
being calculated properly in some cases.

monster's
special attacks (eg. a floater's energy drain attack).

speed up,
not slow down.

entering
and leaving the character creation stat selection screen.

number of
lines.
