Thank you very much for your generous contributions, feedback and help in bugfixing. As a fruit of your labour, let me present to you

v0.7.1.0 of both Allure of the Stars and LambdaHack!!!

with the following changes:
- add amazing cave and item (actor, blast, organ) descriptions by Peritract
- package for Windows as an installer and also as zip archives
- fix a crash from SDL frontend under some OpenGL drivers (no thread-safety)
- add WWW address to the Main Menu, for other sites that may run our JS blob

Keep it coming!

Trying out explosives and firecrackers in a nearby cave, with friends. Brainstorm here: https://github.com/LambdaHack/LambdaHack/pull/135

[Bandobras]

A showcase of shooting down explosives. Small font. A couple were shot down close enough to enemies to harm them. Others exploded closer to our party members and took out of the air the projectiles that would otherwise harm them.

This is a semi-automatic stealthy speedrun of the escape scenario. The enemy gang has a huge numerical and equipment superiority. Our team loots the area on auto-pilot until the first foe is spotted. Then they scout out enemy positions. Then hero 1 draws enemies and unfortunately enemy fire as well, which is when he valiantly shoots down explosives to avoid the worst damage. Then heroine 2 sneaks behind enemy lines to reach the remaining treasure. That accomplished, the captain signals retreat and leaves for the next area (the zoo).

I'd like to thank all people engaged in the giveaway event: the organizers and the hundreds of contestants and also those that didn't register, but vociferously participated in the festivities on various fora. If you didn't win, don't despair --- you are cordially invited to name the price of your choosing at https://man-of-letters.itch.io/allureofthestars and enjoy the game to its fullest. If you won, you rock and you are entitled to all future versions of the game (though not necessarily all DLCs), no matter how high the minimal price rises when the game exits Early Access (in a decade or so). Now let's go claim from the pesky aliens what is ours!

v0.8.3.0 of LambdaHack and Allure of the Stars is just released, with Mac OS X binaries included for the first time, thanks to Pablo Reszczynski.
who apparently found the game's Easter egg, became an alien and is seen at the screenshot giving the puny humans a hard time.



Changes, as in https://github.com/AllureOfTheStars/.../tag/v0.8.3.0:
- Add a hack to run SDL2 on the main thread, fixing the OS X crash
- Warn visually when impressed and Calm running low, risking domination
- Display actor as red when low Calm and impressed or when low HP
- Fix, complete and fine tune UI, AI and server skill and weapon checks
- Fix a bug where item aspects look different to clients than to the server
- Change the requirements for the main menu ASCII art
- Tweak loot and terrain a tiny bit
