Thanks IndieDB for contributing to a great 0.2.0 release - it was made available on Monday, and can be downloaded here:
It contains a guidebook, new world generation, sixteen skill trees, options, controls, saving and loading, multi-square trees, a thousand bug-fixes, and ASCII generated pictures like the one below:

You can keep up to date on my devblog, Facebook page, or Twitter feed. The devblog is updated weekly on Mondays, Facebook a few times a week, and the Twitter roughly daily. Any thoughts, please leave them in the comments! Version 0.2.1, containing a few bugfixes for 0.2.0 and the new 'Resources' map, is due out this coming Monday (the 3rd of December), and I'll update here at the time with more specific information about what's new and what's fixed. See you all then, and hope you enjoy URR.
