1.14.1

• Fixed an issue with the RapidBrogue seed catalog which prevented altars from being listed.
• Fixed the build for the curses/terminal version.

1.14

A fairly big update, featuring new feats, many combat and resurrection tweaks, and more!

Thanks to contributors Kissyboots, Matti Armston, Nathan Fenner, Nathan Stoddard, and co-maintainers flend and zenzombie.

NOTE: Some anti-virus software falsely detects this version as a virus. The program is completely safe, and you should be able to add it as an exception. We are working to resolve this. If you don't want to add an exception, you can always play 1.12 in the meantime.

Changes

Gameplay changes

• A discordant ally will no longer swap places with the player and can be attacked. Attacks require player confirmation and will not make the ally an enemy.
• Fixed an issue that prevented allies (e.g. kraken) from learning abilities from monsters that die in certain terrain (e.g. deep water).
• Allies can now spear attack over the player.
• Monsters with a spear or whip attack can no longer attack around corners.
• Jellies now die without splitting when hit with a slaying or quietus weapon.
• Resurrection altars now function differently for phoenixes and liches. The phoenix egg or phylactery will be revived instead, and the ability to turn into a phoenix or lich restored. Similarly, a vampire's ability to spawn vampire bats will be restored.
• If the player is seized by a submerged monster they can see (i.e. player is also submerged), it will now immediately surface so it can be targeted with staffs/wands.
• Overhauled feats:
  • Removed nearly impossible feats 'Pacifist', 'Archivist', 'Indomitable', and 'Ascetic'.
  • Added a new "Feats" menu option that shows a screen with all the feats and whether the player has achieved or failed them.
  • The 'Paladin' feat is no longer lost when the player is unaware of the monster, the player is seized, the monster is generated immobile (totems, turrets, etc.), or the monster is immune to physical attacks.
  • The 'Companion' feat now requires exploring only (approximately) 13 floors with an ally instead of 20. Exploration is measured by the number of newly discovered traversable squares while an ally is within one floor of the player.
  • The 'Pure Mage' feat now allows the player to attack with their fists. Good luck with that.
• Drinking a strength potion now causes weakness to be removed from a character immediately, so that receiving another weakening attack on the same turn does not completely negate the potion.
• Fixed a bug which treated obsidian as shallow water, allowing a kraken to both traverse it and sieze monsters or the player standing in it.
• Monsters that are summoned by allies (furies, phantoms, vampire bats) are no longer eligible for resurrection. Only the summoner will be resurrected.
• Discordant allies that cast negation will no longer target other discordant allies for the sole purpose of negating the discordant status. They will still target discordant allies if negation will also have a harmful effect, such as removing haste.
• Destroying a phoenix egg or phylactery now counts toward weapon auto-ID.
• When arriving on a level with items "obstructing" the stairs, the player now appears by the stairs like normal, on top of the item, instead of being placed on a nearby free cell. A message is displayed describing the item.
• Fixed a bug where items in deep water could drift through walls. Items can now only drift to an available adjacent cell.
• Fixed a bug where shattering failed to destroy sentinels at the edge of the dungeon.

UI changes

• Players can now view summary statistics of games played by selecting the "Game Stats" option from the "View" menu. Statistics are collected only for games played since the menu option became available.
• The auto-targeting system now understands much more about whether the used item will have an effect, and skips target where it won't. This includes taking into account reflection, fire immunity, health (for domination and healing), negatable abilities, proximity (for beckoning), and weapon immunity.
• When using a known staff of tunneling, turrets and sentinels will now be auto-targeted.
• Fixed issues where auto-targeting leaked information about an unknown staff or wand.
• The monster details window now includes information about the effect of negation if the player has a known means to negate the monster.
• The monster details window now includes information about the effect of tunneling or shattering if the player has such a staff.
• When an inanimate monster (e.g. turret or totem) is negated, a combat message is now displayed and the sidebar will show the negated status.
• Fixed a bug where a closed door affected by descent would no longer be visible but would still block visibility. They now remain visible.
• Staves and wands that affect allies are now displayed correctly on the discovered items screen.
• If the player occupies a location with an item, the item is now shown in the sidebar. Additionally, the item is included in the description when inspecting the player's location.
• When inspecting a location, item descriptions now include details if space permits.
• A weapon of slaying now includes a note that the weapon doesn't degrade when attacking an acidic monster in the slaying class.
• Changed the ability description for some monsters to differentiate those that can sometimes reflect magic spells from those that always reflect spells back at the caster.
• Animations such as autoexplore and using a staff now run at a consistent speed.
• Change the color of the message when you try to pick up an item when your inventory is full, so it stands out more.

1.13

Thanks to great work by flend and zenzombie, we now have support for multiple game variants in CE, and have added Rapid Brogue! Select it in Play > Change Variant in the main menu.

Thanks to other contributors andkem, brturn, nathanf, nstoddard, and omar-polo.

NOTE: Some anti-virus software currently falsely detects this version as a virus. The program is completely safe, and you should be able to add it as an exception. We are working to resolve this. If you don't want to add an exception, you can always play 1.12 in the meantime.

Changes

• Rapid Brogue is now part of Brogue CE!
• Re-designed the main menu.
• Lumenstones are worth 500 gold on death, instead of 0.
• The rapier lunge attack works against invisible enemies when you are telepathic.
• Levers are now indestructible via shattering and tunneling, which would leave some vaults impossible to open.
• Autoexplore no longer walks through dangerous gases when wearing unidentified respiration armor.
• Items falling from the previous level will now trigger any traps they land on.
• Items and monsters falling from the previous level will no longer fall into reward rooms.
• Fixed an issue where unidentified rings could have higher bonuses than they would have once identified.
• Fixed an issue where unidentified positive rings would be 1 enchant lower than they should.

1.12

A small non-gameplay update. Enjoy!

Thanks to contributors flend, glob, nstoddard, and zenzombie.

Changes

• Added a wizard mode menu action for creating an item or monster.
• Monster death messages are now printed in the correct order. For instance, "The dart killed the bloat" is now printed before the message about the bloat bursting.
• Fixed an issue with beckoning bolt paths. This could cause mirrored totems to instakill the player and made it difficult to target enemies behind obstacles.
• Autoexplore now avoids items on candle-lit altars outside of vaults.
• Changed the graphic and description of statues that can be broken with shattering, to clearly distinguish them from regular statues.
• "Quit without saving" is now "Quit and abandon game"; "Suspend game and quit" is now "Save and exit".
• You are now prompted when stepping onto a chasm tile with Mangrove Dryad vines on it, since you fall through them.
• Removed the commands for opening saved games and recordings from within a game, as they could be used for save scumming. (Both can still be done from the main menu.)
• The --print-seed-catalog option no longer creates unnecessary .broguesave files.

1.11.1

• Fixed replay out-of-sync error from throwing an item.
• Fixed wand of plenty description still referring to halving HP.

Changes

• Wand of plenty no longer halves the max HP of cloned monsters.

• The game now automatically identifies items where it is possible to deduce them from the discovered items screen.

  the location of game resources.

1.10

A new gameplay version is here! Features some new mechanics, rebalancing, UI
improvements, and bug fixes. Replays and saves are not compatible with 1.9.x.

Thanks to many contributors: Andy Bayer, Antony Boucher, zenzombie, bleakley,
Byron Altice, Jon Knapp, Konstantin Mikhailov, Nathan Fenner, RojjaCebolla,
SanatMishra, anaseto, austen0, flend, pender, and withinwheels.

Changes

Notable changes

• It is now possible to fall through chasms into deep water, without damage.
  Falling into shallow water or bog deals half the damage as hitting hard floor.
  Items falling through chasms may now land into deep water, another chasm, or
  lava.
• Rebalance Staff of Obstruction builds by (1) preventing crystals from
  persisting on cells occupied by creatures, and (2) allowing hunting monsters
  to remain hunting as long as they are close enough and can see the player,
  even if impassable transparent terrain is between them.
• Cautious monsters now enter corridors if they have been attacked recently and
  are below 50% health.
• Allies will no longer attack or cast spells at sacrifice targets.
• Aiming at a target now automatically aims for or avoids enemies/allies/walls,
  depending on the projectile type. This removes most of the need to aim for a
  cell beyond your intended target to get the best result. It also applies to
  spells cast by enemies!
• Increased average damage for flails by 0.5, and flails now have a 2.5% (up
  from 0%) chance to be runic.
• Added a sanctuary tile in front of spark turret vaults to prevent allies from
  destroying the turrets.
• Scrolls of sanctuary can now be used on brimstone and obsidian.
• Added a hybrid graphical mode that uses text for creatures and items but
  graphical tiles for everything else.
• The sidebar and monster details now prominently display that a monster has
  been affected by negation.
• The message archive is now larger, and can be navigated with the up and down
  arrow keys. Holding shift scrolls one line at a time, holding control jumps to
  the end.
• Pressing "w" will hot-swap between recently equipped gear, enabling
  weapon/armor/ring juggling.
• "Untempted" feat has been added, for picking up no gold.
• "Mystic" feat has been renamed to "Ascetic".

Bug fixes and other changes

• The save game feature is now out of beta!
• Fixed a bug causing the game to crash when polymorphing a lich or phoenix.
• Seeds are now 64-bits, going up to 18446744073709551615! There are now 2
  billion times more dungeons to explore!
• Wands of negation auto-ID if the bolt has an effect. A combat message is shown
  for any monster affected by negation.
• When wearing known respiration armor, don't warn when stepping on immune gas
  traps.
• Staff descriptions now report the number of turns since their last use.
• Fixed a bug where summoned minions could spawn with a carried item which was
  then deleted, making it unavailable for future monster drops and leading to
  differences in available items for players playing the same seed.
• When throwing a potion, auto-targeting is now enabled only for potions known
  to be malevolent. When throwing a melee weapon, auto-targeting is now
  disabled.
• Fixed a bug with machine rooms where events (such as guardian movement) could
  trigger twice.
• Dungeon generation on ARM processors is now the same as with x86.
• Fixed doors sometimes being generated adjacent to one another.
• Fixed a bug that caused negated weapons and armor to remain illuminated when
  out of line of sight.
• Fixed a bug which slightly delayed the reset of stuck status after blinking or
  teleporting in or out of a web/net. Adjacent monsters at the destination were
  afforded a free hit while the player was "dangling helplessly" in error.
• Repeated messages now sometimes collapse together with a count.
• Use 24-bit colors when the terminal supports it (curses build).
• Brogue now starts with a reasonable window size on ultra-wide monitors.

  or vice versa
