« on: December 18, 2008, 08:04:30 AM »
Welcome to Sewerjacks! The game that mixes fantasy football with a roguelike.  Based on Bloodbowl LRB5.

This release is getting it closer to a more polished game.  Many thanks to all for the great feedback.
Keep it up.

Major new features.
- 13 different starting classes from 7 races, including Wood Elves, Wizard and Apothecary + unlock more!
- Selectable menus (keyboard).
- 4 new skills and 4 new items.
- Customise your ally's name, skills and upgrades.
- Throwing has become deadlier.
- Frenzy now lives upto its name.
- see complete change log below

Homepage - http://sourceforge.net/projects/sewerjacks/
Screen Shots - http://sourceforge.net/project/screenshots.php?group_id=207740

Win32 binaries only. Linux users can use WINE.

I would love some new title art for the starting screen or other screens.

Merry Christmas.

YES YES YEEESSS! Such awesome work advancing the game that much farther along.  Thanks so much for continuing to polish this until, I hope, the vibrant shine it produces blots out the sun itself.   8)

Edit:  Any ETA on the Win32 download?  Still pointing to the older .b version.   Don't forget to update the website since it still thinks it is October.   ;)

The sun is safe me thinks, thanks for pointing out my mistakes.
.c is up, and hopefully will be on all the main downloads now, I hate sourceforge sometimes.

I probably wont be working on this for a while, I need a break, time to work on my next project.

Thanks for the fix!  By all means, you've surely earned some respite from this project to unwind and till your other fields as the seasons dictate.  Here's hoping all the best for your next project meanwhile----be sure and keep us all posted.   ;D
