Feature Friday - August 16, 2019

Reclassified various mushroom-based consumables as fungi rather than plants.

Reduced the Ego requirement of Menacing Stare (and thus the Persuasion skill) to 17.

Feral lah now get XP for kills made by their pods, unless the pods have found a new party leader.

You no longer get a popup message when one of your burgeoned plants dies.

If you [redacted] while wielding the amaranthine prism, [redacted].

Did some more adjustment of creatures roles, fixing several cases of creatures having reduced or inflated stats.

Lase now tells you when your laser beam fails to penetrate your target's armor.

Items covered in liquid now correctly have their display names modified (e.g., "sticky Mehmet").

Fixed a bug that prevented Beguile from working when used via a cooking effect.

Beguiling a creature via a cooking effect now uses the correct Beguile level (the one that's listed in the effect description).

Made the target picker more descriptive when beguiling via a cooking effect.

Changed the wording in the effect description of resonance grenades from "inorganic matter" to "structural objects" to clarify that they don't do bonus damage to robots.

Removed duplicate brain parts from arconauts and great saltbacks.

Standardized the spelling of the various tenses and forms of the word 'worshipping'.

Caves of Qud is a science fantasy roguelike epic steeped in retrofuturism, deep simulation, and swathes of sentient plants. Come inhabit an exotic world and chisel through layers of thousand-year-old civilizations. Decide: is it a dying earth, or is it on the verge of rebirth?

Who are you?

Play the role of a mutant indigenous to the salt-spangled dunes and jungles of Qud, or play a pure-strain descendant from one of the few remaining eco-domes—the toxic arboreta of Ekuemekiyye, the Holy City; the ice-sheathed arcology of Ibul; or the crustal mortars of Yawningmoon.

You arrive at the oasis-hamlet of Joppa, along the far rim of Moghra'yi, the Great Salt Desert. All around you, moisture farmers tend to groves of viridian watervine. There are huts wrought from rock salt and brinestalk. On the horizon, Qud's jungles strangle chrome steeples and rusted archways to the earth. Further and beyond, the fabled Spindle rises above the fray and pierces the cloud-ribboned sky.

You clutch your rifle, or your vibroblade, or your tattered scroll, or your poisonous stinger, or your hypnotized goat. You approach a watervine farmer—he lifts the brim of his straw hat and says, "Live and drink, friend."

What can you do?

Anything and everything. Caves of Qud is a deeply simulated, biologically diverse, richly cultured world.

Assemble your character from over 70 mutations and defects and 24 castes and kits—outfit yourself with wings, two heads, quills, four arms, flaming hands, or the power to clone yourself—it's all the character diversity you could want.
Explore procedurally-generated regions with some familiar locations—each world is nearly 1 million maps large.

Dig through everything—don't like the wall blocking your way? Dig through it with a pickaxe, or eat through it with your corrosive gas mutation, or melt it to lava. Yes, every wall has a melting point.
Hack the limbs off monsters—every monster and NPC is as fully simulated as the player. That means they have levels, skills, equipment, faction allegiances, and body parts. So if you have a mutation that lets you, say, psionically dominate a spider, you can traipse through the world as a spider, laying webs and eating things.
Pursue allegiances with over 60 factions—apes, crabs, robots, and highly entropic beings—just to name a few.
Follow the plot to Barathrum the Old, a sentient cave bear who leads a sect of tinkers intent on restoring technological splendor to Qud.
Learn the lore—there's a story in every nook, from legendary items with storied pasts to in-game history books written by plant historians.
Die—Caves of Qud is brutally difficult and deaths are permanent. Don't worry, though—you can always roll a new character.
