What's New in Dunil's Hold v1.13 This release focuses on the physical structure of the dungeon, the rhythm of your turns, and polish to the narrative experience. * The dungeon generation engine has been entirely rebuilt. While you hopefully notice no difference, the "bones" of the dungeon are now more robust and varied. This work clears the way for future efforts in the simulation experience. * Actions like wait and rest now simulate much faster. Rest/Fatigue and Hunger are now separate. * Continuous improvements to codebase, performance, and the overall simulation and how it is presented.

1.12 - Combat balance and narrative enhancements * It's brutal in there, further tweaks to balance. Pack size of monsters who roam in packs reduced in earlier levels. * Changes to scenery and the environment within the dungeon and how that is conveyed to the user. * Continuing under the hood refinements and development. Thanks to all who play!

1.11 - The Door Update New Gameplay Mechanics: * Tactical Doors & Durability: Doors become more useful! They now have hit points and material scaling. Use brute force to bash through wooden, stone, or iron barriers but be warned, the noise may attract unwanted attention. * Barricade & Wedge: Secure your position with the new Wedge. Use the wedge command to barricade doors shut, creating a safer environment for resting and forcing monsters to work harder to reach you. * Lockpicking & Thieves' Tools: Skilled adventurers can now use Thieves' Tools to bypass locks. Difficulty scales with door material, from simple wooden latches to formidable iron vaults. * Themed Keys: Discover unique, lore-named keys. Who knows what they may unlock! * Persistent Monsters: Watch your back! High-strength creatures will now actively attempt to bash down wedged or broken doors if they are hunting you. * Enhanced Pathfinding: Improved monster AI logic for navigating complex door states and barricades. * Continuing under the hood refinements and work towards a more immersive experience. Thanks to any and all who play!

* Continued under the hood refinements. * Expanded floor sizes. Floors are now larger. * Monster reinforcements. Certain monsters can call for help. * Cursed Items. Not always bad, but you can't remove the item till removed via magic. * Balance tweaks. Thanks to all who play!
