Ladies and Gentlemen,
Alltough it's still not 0.9.9, I present DoomRL 0.9.8.8, another step on
the road of DoomRL's development. 0.9.8.7 had a few serious bugs that
needed fixing. Also, there's a LOT of refactoring needed to present the
features of DoomRL 0.9.9 and 1.0.0 -- a lot of this refactoring has been
done in this version.
Probably the most visible change will be the new item and monster
placement -- there are a lot of monsters now, but that also means a lot
more exp
. Monsters now may also appear in packs, especially in the
later levels. Medpack/item placement has been tweaked accordingly.
Player and Score data should be compatible, but I advise to restart them
anyway (especially score xP).
There's an absolutely new system of soundbindings, that will make both
modding, and doing custom jobs easier. Also, a new system of tactics has
been implemented (it will be expanded), and several "cute" interface
changes. You can also mod any weapon now, with 1+WhizKid mods. I also
rewrote the code for shotguns and explosion damage. Rocket Launchers
should be more useful now, and shotguns differ in spread and damage
reduction over distance.
Also, a TON of bugs has been fixed.
There is a linux version available, but it might be unstable, for I
hacked it up myself using VMWare.
So without further ado, I present DoomRL 0.9.8.8! Get it at:

And a Merry Christmas to all
