DRL 0.9.9.5 released!
4 January 2012
This is a special release, because finally DRL’s world has gotten the shape it was intended to have. While the number of levels got reduced to 24, they are divided into three separate “episodes”, with the grand finale in Dis, against the boss you’ve all asked about!
Apart from the new layout, the AI got its revamp finished — most of the beings now have a new (hopefully smarter) AI! Also present in this version are two new Challenges and a lot of tweaks to the Badge system, new powerup and a ton of tweaks and fixes!
Grab it while it’s hot in the downloads section!

The DRL episode was quite full of critique, especially arguing that DRL has strayed away from it’s simple coffeebreak roots, which the podcasters consider a bad thing. What is your opinion? State it on the Roguelike Radio blog, and help out with DRL’s future direction!
