Patch Notes; August 2025 (Q3)

Art

• greyscale adjusted, each step is a doubling of perceived brightness
• color adjusted to match the brightness of greyscale
• minimap color update; added color for doors, chests, and glyphs

Gameplay

• Beastiary implementation: memory of monster behavior, vulnerabilities, and behaviors.
• Characters share a common record of kills, deaths, and observations.
• Knowledge is applied at level completion by death or staircase.
• Incremental knowledge is accumulated during gameplay, though not persisted forother character classes.
• Randomness seed is derived from the system: getrandom() or getentropy(). The previous /dev/urandom source is a fallback.
• Fractional exp is awarded

Extra Features

• font color
• power: hi-cpu utilization

Mobile features

• Tapping gameplay area will proceed from gravestone, character, etc
• Tap a monster twice for beastiary memory
• "hi-cpu utilization" on mobile will run at the full framerate of the device instead of performing on-demand rendering

Many mobile OSes are highly optimized; you may have better latencies and good battery characteristics too!

PC features

• x: examine command views all monsters, then all objects
• 'b' for bestiary when viewing a monster
• ESC aborts the current type (monster/object)
• sort by distance
• "hi-cpu utilization" on PC never voluntarily yields the CPU back to the system

Lower latency on gameplay; may drain battery faster or be less friendly when minimized
