Hullo.

Just to let the surprisingly numerous people interrested in my pet project know there is a major update avaliable <a href="http://screwage.com/~marc/news.html">on the LoW page</A>.

I had considered half-jokingly dubbing it the "Windows House of Cards" release, because it exhibits a naty bug of crashing semirandomly in levels densely populated with NPCs or monsters under Windows; I had considered postponing a test publish until after I've tracked that one down but given the scarcity of my free time lately the chances that I would have been able to put out a release within less than two weeks were slim.

Given that I had a number of people asking to see the WIP as it stood with the new features, I relented and posted it. Besides, having more people find more bugs is good, yes?

You may want to 'map 5' on the console to go see the new particle/water system, or 'map 69' to see the moongates. One can also now peek into containers to see their contents. Lots of other features, read the readme. :-)

As usual, good bug reports, especially of repeatable bugs, are not only welcome but sollicited-- but please don't bother reporting that it crashes sproadicly when there are mobiles around. :-) Unless you manage to find a pattern!
