Looks fantastic and well primed indeed to reach loftier heights still in the year to come and well beyond.

Thanks, I have a long list of things to add to the game based on the initial feedback and the game will continue to get better.

Hey guys, it's been a long time since I dropped an update and it seems some things changed over here as I can't modify my main post due to the inability to provide external links.

I've been working on Soulash for the past 4 years, and we now have some new, big features like destructible terrain, a dialogue system, a new desert area with multiple interesting locations like the Black Pyramid where the second strongest character resides. But the one feature often requested that I'm the most excited to share with you today is the new graphics mod. Just 3 months ago I came across a very talented artist Xiclu, who has an incredible vision for the game. See for yourself!

Just yesterday we've launched a Kickstarter campaign to secure funds to apply this style to the whole game and improve upon it with alternative sprites and additional animations. If there's enough interest, we would also love to add other big features many players asked for like building, servants, factions, and a procedural world generator!
We have a working demo of the graphics mod with a link on our Kickstarter page, so give it a try and consider donating for a good cause - the creation of a massive, unique, traditional roguelike.

I'm sorry that it wasn't funded - would have backed if I'd seen it in time. Hope you are able to continue!
