Hi crawlers – here are some more changes as we wind down 0.14 development:
- MR-granting items now grant fixed increments of magic resistance (see the % screen – there are numbers involved behind the scenes but those exact values aren’t important).
- Orbs of destruction don’t explode if they collide with another orb of destruction before travelling more than a short distance (so feel free to abuse those high powered decks of destruction).
- The colours of the species/background menu selector have been changed again.
- The amount of poisoning dealt by poisonous monster attacks has been adjusted slightly (less for early game enemies, more for late game enemies).
- Josephine has a new spell set (and rN+++).
- Formicid self-shafting is no longer noisy.
- All tiered demon enemies can now open doors.
Look forward to news about the release of 0.14 soon, and happy crawling!

Awesome! Love these dev updates. I actually spend a lot more time reading changelogs than I do playing the game, I confess.

Oh … and are the windows dev builds ever going to be updated?

Hasn’t since the end of last month. I’d wager they’re holding off until they can publish the 0.14 stable.
(It is awful frustrating seeing all these neat new features without being able to try them out offline, though.)

I think having the blog replicate the self-build instructions posted to the Tavern would be a good intermediate patch.

@q335r49 it’s not too hard to learn how to build them with git, there’s a nice reddit guide: http://www.reddit.com/r/roguelikes/comments/1dow94/dcss_guide_to_setting_up_easy_trunk_updates_on/

As I mentioned in another comment, the build system went down with the server move and our server admin hasn’t gotten it back online yet (he’s been ill, unfortunately).
We’ll get something together ASAP; don’t worry!
