This could very well be a nice step forward to 0.9. Being able to add any of the 255 hexa grid colour, to any feature. If only I could not only apply it to the terrain. If I could give specially designed colours to monsters too... But, again, being able to paint the environment with my own palette is,by itself, a big leap forward.

Well. I'm no longer limited to the 16 colours of the inherited ZAngband's palette. I figured out how to create, add, and have it displayed/working my OWN colours. I just created and added a new basalt rouge tone for my walls. Roop roop :)

Ayoo! New Update released!
0.8D is up and ready for the grabs :) Packing a nice punch, this one; bugs fixed, Uniques added, more hidden object interaction added, decorative objects, nice and necessary light-source visual rework done too!

I have been told my variant is radically different from the Original Zangband. I take it as something good, I guess? Like I managed to fully grow it to be its own. Well, Zelazny by Machete Angband suits the game like a glove.

if you are a long time Dwarf Fortress player... Here's a weapon of the finest dwarfmanship for you, straight from a place sure will ring a bell...
I swear to the Gods, if instead an Uruk dropping it, would have a _goblin_ I would have died xD

After some tinkering, I'm positive the multiple floor thing is a no-no. Ok. in the meanwhile, I think I might have found a way to get those extra ranged attacks for monsters to work. Right now there is no issues in the code but they just don't get displayed. If I can get them to properly work, that could be 0.8 -> 0.9.
Anyway. Next 0.8C is getting close to a final stage. Tests runs are turning out immersive and a perfect amount of feelings from the Dungeon.

Oh man, something nice' s a-cooking. I think I'm getting more and more familiar with the Ancestral Zangband Code, it's like deciphering neolitic cave art, gives me the jeebies but I like it. Btw, installing was a bright idea, was NOT expecting it to be so good when used along with .
Next update is so dear to me that might as well advance a whole number.

Latest patch, with some last minute fixes and corrections, has been tested and released. Up on itchio for you folks to download it. Somebody on win11 was reporting of a weird save/autosave bug. 0.8b is available. Get your copy!

Got a little bit of help from another and, under windows 10 at least, all the issues reported are non-existent. Later on, I will update 0.8b patch with some code fixes.

A user from reddit running the game reports back saving crashing and targeing problems, I'm sure it's a compatibility 32-64bits thing. Anyone has the same issue? I tried to run it on an old win10 laptop I have, zero issues. Any tip would be appreciated.

Blade of Chaos plus an example of the said bracelets, the rune of spring one in this case. My Rogue Rakshasa looks promising... We will see how far she can make it.
Also the re-vamped combat system is working good. Take a look at combat_charts.txt to know more about it.

...collectibles to find AND wear, giving even more possibilities and customizations to the Adventurers. On the bad side, other major features will have to wait to be released. I know, slow and steady... But dang, I wanted it all. ___sigh. Anyway, it's a nice step forward.

Tomorrow it's new version release day. 0.8a will be entering the stage. Mixed feelings. Got an entire new type of jewelry you can combine with rings: bracelets with Runes. 21 in total, plus the fine-tuned Shrunken Heads amulets. Lots of...
