Hey all! After a week or so developing and several days testing and bug fixing, 2.9.5 is shipping to apple!

The complete changelog follows, but the headlining feature is that Monster classes are now a class of characters for determining which items can be used / equipped, and they can also equip items to finger slots. So, if I need to make a potion that only Mystics can drink in the future, I can still do that, but I can also say that all Monster classes can use one of the new items, "Monster Manual", and have it automatically allow and deny the proper classes.

Also what I've laid the groundwork for in this update is the ability to trigger targeted skills from items. ( So far we have staves that can cast targetless skills like holy fires and purify). The extra leeway in defining items will allow me to make lots of cool new items that let players use more cross-class abilities. Some other exciting advancements along these lines are planned for future updates.

And, as always, plenty of bug fixes.

New Features:
All Monster classes are now able to equip Finger Slot items

New Content:
4 new exclusive Items for monster classes

Graphical Tweaks:
Toxic Arrows of Acid / Poison have been split into Poison Arrows and Acid Arrows, each with their own graphics

Bug Fixes:
Satan now appears consistently across devices
Projectile Reflection buff saves / loads properly again
Gypsy energy regeneration works again
Belly loss no longer speeds up after reloading a game
'Invisible', unkillable monsters no longer appear after wandering around a level for a long period of time
Runes and Teleport tiles no longer disappear after a few dozen turns
Memory optimizations for improved stability
Dark Pope Shield now works against fire damage from Scrolls of Unholy Fires
Fixed occasional crash when loading new levels with familiars spawned
Various other stability improvements (e.g., crash fixed when accidentally targeting a confused 'Feed Them' chunk with Wretch when the chunk is being attacked by another monster )

Yayyyyy

Y'know, you should have a "donate a buck" option. Considering how awesome these updates always are I'd GLADLY give you a buck for an update this juicy.

 

I'm also really glad to see monster classes finally getting a little extra love… They needed it!

The OS X version is now live on the Mac App Store! It is still waiting for review with iOS, but should be available shortly.

Hello, Wes, Im having a problem with monster-only Comms Device — when I try to use it with Tourist the game crashes and I have to restart over again from Floor entrance. I've tried several times on different playthroughs to activate that thing but alas, it still keeps crashing the game. Can u fix that, please?

Done and done. Or maybe just done. In any case! The fix was submitted to Apple… umm. Tuesday? Yes, Tuesday. It should be out early next week, at a guess (unfortunately, we can only estimate based on past updates, which usually take Apple within a week).
