So is this the final version of the final release, or are there going to be new version tomorrow?

Also, I'd suggest putting a version number into the name of the download. Less confusing that way.

[The GP Fury]

This is the final release. No more betas for a while. :-) The only reason that there'd be a release tomorrow would be if I REALLY messed up and had a game-breaking bug. I think all of those have been squished.

This should be the last release for a while, not sure if I'll do anything more yet...but who knows?

[DaveMan]

(Sorry, now it is fixed. Will go compiling it right away for the zaurus (debian armel, sid)).

[The GP Fury]

Hi,

it should be in the root directory of the zip called "src"...

[DaveMan]

Thanks, i just overlooked it, because unzipped src is not within the furybandgold directory.

I'm just trying FuryBand for the first time, and so far it looks great.

A couple of things I noticed, though:
-Joke monsters are showing up even when the option is turned off; is this intended behavior?
-Level 10 of the Orc cave have white &'s running up and down the screen. Moving onto produced the message "You see." Unfortunately, I didn't think to take a screenshot, and re-entering the level fixed the problem. Seems like a bug.

[The GP Fury]

Joke monsters are always on.

The orc caves is a known bug, just go up and down the stairs and it goes back to normal. Soon as I have some free time, I'll go back and fix the rest of the bugs.

Glad you're liking it.
