Reincarnated this project, started it from scratch. Now it is a roguelike with random world generation (well, with some statics still), tiles grapics, support for mobile and desktop (currently Android and Windows).
It has been under development for 1 year now.

demo version with early gameplay:

Great to see another update so soon---the reaction system has revolutionary potential!   

Reactions are a bit experemintal. Sometimes i'm thinking of completely dropping them.) Also there will be more of them coming, like disarm, counterstrike, counterbash, tolerate and so on. The main goal is to provide a REAL choice, like, if it is just "Dodge 15%, Parry 90%", what will you choose? You would have to call friends for an advice, yep? But if it's even like now, e.g., Dodge 70%, Block 80% - but you can't parry all the damage, and reactions from runes - they are 100% (now) but limited...
And yes, most of reactions require preparations, like shield for block, skill for counterbash and they use attribute moments, so you parry 3-4 times in a row but then you have to restore (but can continue with other reactions depending on other attrs)

What are the next challenges for new systems/features still ahead?  Or is it down to content/polish from here until v1.0?

Going to do some resource management for attribute points (ones you get each time an attribute goes up), 4 skills for each attribute so total 28 skills, with range 1-10 to learn, each skill providing 4 or 5 actions/abilities. Not in the single release, maybe in ~four. This is instead of classes, but races can be added at some point.
I have no technical challenges, mostly gameplay ones. Some features supported in engine are hard to show their potential. For example, any object for nearly any action target - what's the use of it rather than hit/touch/smash head over it, or real water flow either.

Is there anything to play yet? As in a game.

Yes, ascend up to height 10 of mountain is possible, with some challenges and many monsters on the way.
Combat, ranged combat, magic, weapon skills - all is working of course.

Some of already implemented features:

- different types of wounds instead of plain hitpoints;
- polymorph - you can basically morph into any monster, obtaining all its characteristics and possible actions;

Annoying staff? Staff of aggravation? (SCNR)

Please keep in mind not everyone here is English.
Some people (like me) make mistakes not because they are inattentive, rather they know Runglish better than English and cannot do better at this moment .) Here's the source of annoying stuff in our posts.

Regarding venoms and diseases - yes they are numerous.

P.S.
Annoying staff is people who bother you at work, not letting you play roguelikes .)

RAYEL 0.1.5
~~~~~~~~~~~
Added notebook.cfg. If you have no numpad, replace the default.cfg file with notebook.cfg.

Fixed all known important issues. Among them:
- fixed Drain skill.
- fixed Call missiles skill.
- high level quests: ensure doability.
- small UI fixes.
- modified movement keys in default.cfg work correctly now.
