tell me about it, this project has been more than 1/3 of my life already LOL

thanks so much, paled! and thank you for your contributions to the game over the years, DF wouldn't be the same without your amazing tracks! 💜

Good question! The gold rooms (known as "Gold Shrines") have been moved inside these rifts. Hunting for gold/diamond enemies in them is still valuable for farming gold faster and completing the bestiary, but the boosted EXP can also help to level up new party members faster in the post-game!

We implemented Pluey.

Still console testing. There are fewer bugs, but there's a lot to go through. (Haven't even tested PS5 yet)

In addition to fixing Ch3/Ch4, we also need to implement having saves from the DEMO carry over to the main game on consoles... We only received the technology to do this now. I hope it works!

Thanks so much for the kind words! I can't wait for everyone to be able to play it soon! 😁

I basically started working on the custom sprites they needed as soon as I finished reading the newsletter! 😅

Yeah! In 2.8, pretty much every area is getting revamped with new layouts, new puzzles, and updated sprites! 😁
