Next update will let you get keys that you can use on new special key doors.  There will be three different key/door pairs, and keys will be unique to each city.  You will be able to give/trade players keys or have them autospawn.

Use them to give only specific people in a city access to a building, or to make dungeons more interesting!

Lots of changes in this update:

• New mob: Game Reviewer.
  He does not move quickly, but has lots of hp and is strong.  There is a good strategy for taking him down, but I’ll let you discover it!
• New mob: Dire Game Reviewer
• New weapon: Blue Sword
• New weapon: Red Sword
• Your health now increases with each level gained.
  This change is retroactive — just respawn to get your new max HP
• Monsters will no longer attack through the ceiling/floor
• Fix for lost permaitems bug

Psy has created a dungeon for the game reviewer – once its populated with some nefarious mobs, I will link it from root.  It will be targeted for players who are level 3 or later.

The next update is going to be pretty big.  Not only will it have the swords, it will also have at least three new mobs & their accompanying spawners.  This week I re-wrote how melee mobs are handled, so it’s a lot easier to add new ones.  Health will increase with each level.  I plan to release all this the week after next week (probably around 8/6)… hopefully by then, the new dungeons are ready to go.

Yes, you will get to fight game reviewers.  Hehehehe 😀

A couple updates for today:

• Fixed an issue where sometimes if you used friends list it wouldn’t save your character until next reboot (thanks for bug report mina8)
• Fixed bug where using arrow keys to move around would also scroll quest window (thanks for the bug report pixelpooper2)
• Much more optimized code for spawners
• Implemented blue & red swords, but to avoid unbalancing everything they can’t be purchased yet.  Soon!
• Hipsters are way more deadly.  (I intended this for next week’s update to go along with the swords, but it ended up sneaking out.  Oh well, enjoy! :P)

By popular demand, a basic friend list is now (finally) implemented:

• /friend add <username> – add a friend
• /friend remove <username> – remove friend
• /friend list (or /f) – list friends

Anyone you add to your friend list, you will be able to see their online status with /f

Mutual friends will be notified when each other join/quit the game, and if they’re online, the name of the town they’re currently located in.
