A new build is now available on Steam: Dwarrows v0.2!

This game version made a significant leap in engine versions which came with many fixes and new features. The most visible differences of these changes are the new filmic tone-mapper and volumetric fog (in dungeons). These new features give the game richer colours and fog interaction with light sources.

A first implementation of a map and compass system have been added in this version. The map currently displays the three playable characters and a custom marker that you can place anywhere. The compass displays the custom marker and four cardinal points (N,E,S,W).

[u]NOTE[/u]: Key bindings for the map key "M" might conflict with older settings. Key bindings can be changed in the options menu to fix this.

The Pet charming system is now more exciting! We've added a new interactive music track and sound effects while in the pet charming mini-game.

We've also greatly improved controller support: The game can now be played (almost) entirely with a gamepad! There is no 'virtual keyboard' so text fields, like pet names, are still keyboard only fields for now. Keys displayed on screen will now update based on which input device was last used. (ie. if the gamepad is pressed, controller buttons will be displayed until the keyboard is used)

[u]NOTE[/u]: Key bindings might need to be reconfigured (use the button at the end of the line to set defaults)
