Version 3.0 is here! This one took a while but hope you enjoy it!

Release on GOG

ROGUE-FP is now available on gog.com as well if you want to pick it up there with a launch discount: https://www.gog.com/en/game/roguefp

-note that the Linux version has had to be delayed by a couple days because gog is short staffed and they hand make their installers. In fact I remember when I first sent my Linux build up to Steam for testing they had NO people that could test it and just waved it through lol. The Windows build should work just fine though!

NEW IN THIS VERSION:

• Monster pathfinding is now multithreaded
  
• Smoothed out map zooming

• Flying monsters will path over pits, eg kestrals, bats, griffins
  
• 2 new trap types
  
• Hunger meter for standard mode and difficulties below ROGUE

FIXED IN THIS VERSION:

• Scroll of confusion not letting you confuse a monster
  
• Rare crash that could occur in classic mode if a hall generated in an odd way

DESCRIPTION:

It was a long road to 3.0 but not as long as the one to 2.0. But despite that much more is possible with the changes that 3.0 brings! Monsters used to navigate using maps that lead to each exit of a room and then once they got to the room you were in they would run straight towards you. NOW they pathfind directly to you in the background and make their way toward you much more intelligently.
Since monsters don't need those maps anymore we can be MUCH more flexible with the dungeons layout and not JUST during floor generation. In future versions it could be possible to blow holes in walls and have floors collapse or have new rooms and halls just appear out of nowhere!

Another major change was the floor generation for standard mode. Floors should now be slightly smaller but much more densely packed and those extremely long halls the stretched across the entire floor should be gone. The floorgen was inspired by a great roguelike called Brogue and if any of you have played it before you'll recognize the giant pits that are now placed in the middle of the dungeons. Be careful around these for they are often trapped!

Those are the two biggest updates but there are many more smaller ones so please make sure to take a look a those. Unfortunately though, grass didn't make it into this update. I have to do some work to the wall torches before I get grass working properly. If you've played Brogue you'll also recognize what I'm talking about here!

THANKS

As always please let me know if you come across any bugs or crashes, especially with THIS update because monsters are now multi-threaded and things are a bit more complicated!
If you enjoy the game please consider writing a review, it really helps!
Alright, see you next update! Thanks!
