Another two version releases... I just skipped actually release 2.1.38. Mainly bugfixes and improved support for multi-weapon combat. Note: Given the way Interhack works, a player or monster with multiple arms could wield more weapons. Of course more weapons can have advantages and disadvantages, and thus is balanced by DEX and STR etc. So if you are wielding four weapons but lack DEX, you could seriously injure yourself. (The body-slot system used also allows players to loose limbs etc, however the loss of limbs has yet to be fully coded).

I have received some more feedback on the multi-player turn based algorithm. Quote:

The way you came up with to adapt this turn-based
SP game for MP really seems to be a good compromise.
It plays much better than the ToME MP version for sure!

There are a few "big" gameplay items to finish off before the game can go beta... when it will also be released under a completely new name. As always, people who want to help are welcome.

Good to see this making solid progress as per usual.  Seems like at this pace you'll hit  a hopefully very productive beta by year's end.  Keep at it!
