POWDER 115 Released!
Jeff Lait
caught up to the previous, low res, iPhones. The 12x12 Akoi Meexx
tiles have been hand smoothed for a better landscape experience.
My old file server died. Fortunately, I was already in the process of
migrating to a new one, so it really couldn't have been better timing.
Unfortunately, my attempt to restart the PSP toolchain failed. I'll
have to give this another try later, but this release is way too
delayed already.
Note the iPhone version, as usual, won't show up right away. First,
because even with immediate submission there is a delay for approval.
Second, because one reason this release kept being delayed was a real
frustrating bug where the keyboard wasn't showing up half the time. I
think I fixed it, hence this release, but I want to do some more
testing on my commute.
When the iPhone version does hit the light of day, I hope players on
that platform will appreciate that you can now email your character
dumps. This provides a way to get a record of your win without
resorting to pen and pencil.

Barber)

Obviously I'm out of practice with releasing!
The Windows release actually contained version 114, not version 115.
This has been fixed, so if you already grabbed the windows version, go
grab it again. I'm sorry to cause the confusion!
Konstantin Stupnik
mac os x dmg also contains 114, not 115 :(

Gah!
Thank you for letting me know. I forgot to rebuild the .dmg :< Got
distracted by my failed PSP build.
It's been updated, download again and you should get a 115 build!
Konstantin Stupnik
Yep. Now it's 115 :)
And backspace definitely working now!
But the game seems to not like me much.
3 evil items on start :(

Yay! Very embarrassing how many versions it has taken to get that
working :>

Could be worse, could have been some evil artifact boots of bleeding.
