BUGS
...had to show up, didn't they?
Remember to post them on the "report bugs" page.

FANS STUFF
Spanish fan Rubeus translated the alpha 6.0 manual some time ago and I didn't have the time (ok I fucked up) to add the link as agreed. Sorry for the delay!
So get the translated manual on the "fans stuff" page!

Alpha 6.1 release!

Check the download page.

Minor release, nothing major.

I'll get very busy very soon so I'd thought I'd release a little something now rather than a bit more later.
Couldn't find the time to implement the various requests from the poll. I'll have to rewrite the AI engine and write a quest engine so it will take some time.

The changelog:
ALPHA 6.1 CHANGES
-----------------
Minor update.

FIXED BUGS
1. (Engine) Player long-waiting was not interrupted by attacks through exits.
2. (Manual) Incorrectly mentioned 3 skill levels.
3. (Reincarnation) Difficulty was not updated when switching sides.
4. (Undead) Starting a new game as Zombified Male prevented you from starting new games as Female Zombified.
Various typos ingame & in manual.

INSTALL
- All game user data now located in the game installation directory rather than user documents.
- Config : select game font - limitations :
  - style is ignored.
  - the ui DOES NOT adapt to font settings, so changing too much will mess up the interface.
  - so yes, this is a rather limited and useless option. doh.

GAMEPLAY
Map Generation
- New building : Warehouse, filled with crates.
Map Objects
- New object : Crate - break them to loot random content or use them as mobile barricade.
Melee
- Disarm : when fighting in melee attacker/defender has a small chance to disarm opponent on a succesfull hit/defence (5%).
Skills
- Martial Arts increase chances to disarm opponent.
Death
- Dead people always drop their ammo and food.

INTERFACE & MANUAL
- Removed Exit/Cancel binding, ESC is the universal exit key.

MOD
- Skills.csv : Martial Arts 3rd value = disarm bonus.
- New gfx for crates.

KNOWN BUGS AND GLITCHES
- Asymetric FoV.

Have fun!
And remember, die with a smile!
