Hey everybody, we are releasing a new version of Sil-More.
We have a major UI overhaul and some new gameplay features for you!
We have redesigned all of the menus to support mouse controls and added multiple new ways to perform actions. You can path via clicks, see descriptions via right clicks, etc.
One of the biggest new features is a round character action menu that you can open by clicking on a character. We also tried to make actions more context-sensitive. For instance, if you right-click on rubble, it will be cleared. If you right-click on a monster, you will see its description.
Our goal is for you to be able to play completely without a keyboard.
Again, we have looked into all menus and made them touch-sensitive. We have created 3 movement presets for you to choose from, and a tutorial to help you decide.
They are: a classical touch panel on the side, invisible movement corners, and a radial wheel for movement. We did our best to make it possible for you to play in the way you like the most.
Also, the wheel character menu is present here as well.
The mini-map is currently pixel-based, so you can zoom and move wherever you want via mouse, keyboard, and touch gestures. The View pane can zoom in whole-number steps and move via mouse drag. This drastically eases looting and monster tracking.
Now, even if an item is not identified, you can guess from the text whether it is evil orcish gear or noble elven gear. All items and egos now have text descriptions.
Light has been moved to supply, and the number of carried torches is restricted. Lanterns, on the other hand, are now easier to manage, with a shared oil pool.
We have added OGG support for smaller file sizes. We also added new sounds and polished the old ones, so the game should feel better and sound better while you play.
We hope, guys, that you will like the new ways to play Sil-More.
P.S. Also, we have created an itch.io page for the project, so if you want to support us, please do!
Another great piece of news is that we have started a Google Play internal test for Sil-More. If you want to participate, please DM me!
