Things are well underway for a soon'ish release of Alpha2.

The second Mob, nicknamed "The Wumpus", is nearly done. It is an approximately 2m high bipedal troll'ish guy with three different attacks, and a high running speed.
It also sports some funky sound effects, thanks to my daughters. (Remember : if he creeps on you and scares you with his growl, you just got scared by a 10 year old girl ;)
The spider also doesn't fall through the floor anymore upon death and the AI in general has been revamped and is now a lot more consistent with what I had in mind.
Next in the queue is Hand2Hand Combat. I just hope I will find the time to work more, as there is a lot of non-related stuff going on, thanks to Christmas.

As always, I would be happy to hear about people's thoughts on the game so far, as feedback is invaluable to any lonely independent developer like me.

bbye,
Sammy
