Changelog (v1.2)

The official reviews for the 2023 7DRL challenge are out: Life Cyan did pretty well, coming in joint 5th place based on average score, out of 182 completed games. Thanks to everyone who played and gave feedback!

The next update (v1.2) is now out.

Improvements:

• There is now a settings menu where you can rebind the keyboard controls, change the music and sound FX volumes, and enable an “instant animations” mode. Settings are remembered between sessions!
• There is now a “tactical view” option, showing exactly which tiles are “seen”, “noticed” or “hidden” from enemy view.
• Hovering over a tile with the mouse now shows a tooltip with useful information about what’s there.
• Added a loading animation and progress bar while downloading the game assets.
• Slightly shorter input block during animations.
• Improved animations for guard KO and waking up.
• Added colours and a more readable font for some UI text.

• Added and changed a few banters and portraits.
• Added a subtle striped animation on enemy vision cones.
• Sound effect for guards waking up from KO.
