It's been a while hasn't it! I've done quite a lot on Crawle since I last made a development post and here are some of these changes:
NPCs now spawn right outside their houses and face a random direction! Doesn't get any better than that. Their names are also saved now.
In terms of combat, it's click-to-attack instead of walk-into-to-attack. The range checks aren't in place but I'll add those... soon.
Easy mode no longer has permadeath and right-clicking the 'world mode' button will not cycle it backwards.
Finally, I've updated some graphics:
Crawle 0.3.0 has also been released! Final changelog:
