I'm not sure what you mean. You can climb, walk and run, and there are large areas of in-game dungeons now to explore...

He seems to be going around to every thread to try and troll?  Looking at his post history it looks like he got denied to join the Bay12 bloc group and started spamming the forums with posts like that one.

Oh. Well, whatever. For those of you who don't seek to waste everyone's time, I hope you enjoy 0.3!

[GreatJustice]

You are a very good person. I hope you know that.

[PTTG??]

This is the most graphically stunning game I've seen in a long time. I mean that; modern games make very _realistic_ scenes, but these aren't artistic expression, they are merely simulation. The lovingly crafted ASCII renditions here seem to have a weight behind them that makes them truly impressive.

Why thank you .

Found a tiny bug in that version; uploading 0.3.0b momentarily.

Thanks for the very kind words, that really means a lot to me. The aesthetics of the game are really crucial to what I'm trying to convey (not to mention a lot of fun to make!). It's great to hear people like them. I totally agree with you though that graphical fidelity does not necessarily equate to graphical quality; I'd rather look at Crawl than Gears of War any day, for instance. And there's a lot of aspects of design, colour, etc, that aren't really reflected in "number of polygons"...

Tiny bug found in earlier version; updated downloads page with 0.3.0b. Save files in 0.3.0 totally compatible!

[SealyStar]

What's the "tiny bug"?

[Ultima Ratio Regum]

There was about a 1/50 chance of the game crashing when generating the top floor of a ziggurat - there now is not!

[Dutchling]

Ah. Did you set the spawn_ziggurat_top_crashifier to 0%?

[Ultima Ratio Regum]

Ah. Did you set the spawn_ziggurat_top_crashifier to 0%?

That is PRECISELY what I did. Foolish of me to not do so before...

Randomized ASCII landscape on main menu every time you boot it up, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

Loving what I'm seeing so far. Posted a couple of hiccups on the site, sorry for not giving any positive feedback there, I went right into the bugs!

* Iceblaster walks back into thread

Sooooo... this won't be an epic civilization simulator anymore?

Meh, I still like the idea. Hope it continues to get updated, I don't have time to DL yet, but when I do, I shall give my feedback
