The past month saw a big number of small improvements added to KeeperRL. Below is a brief rundown.
Z-level variations
Implementing Z-levels doesnt end with simply adding a Z-axis, the levels themselves need to have some interesting content. Besides the obvious mineral veins, youll find enemies, whole settlements and sometimes even special levels. For example, you may encounter the following situation after digging down:
Temples and ruins
Ive added new locations that are scattered around the maps randomly. They have some interesting interactions, but I wont spoil them for you. I realized that this is something that KeeperRL is missing very much, so Ill be adding many more in the future. Including bigger, multi-level ones.
Crafting upgrades
In one of the recent updates Ive added the ability to craft magical equipment, but the system was very basic it was totally random and the types of items were predefined. With this change youll be able to craft unique items by combining multiple upgrades. These upgrades can be found in the form of glyphs while exploring the world.
Modding
In Alpha 27 youll be able to modify and add new creatures to the game. They can be used for keeper and adventurer characters or as immigrants. For now its not possible to add new creatures to world generation (although you can modify existing ones), and you also have to reuse existing sprites. Ill work on these two things in the next update.
Ive also made it possible to switch between mods in the games settings, and they can be simply placed as subdirectories in data_free\game_config.
Im planning to release a testing build on Steam some time next week, so stay tuned!

When you control your minions the game changes into a classic roguelike, with turn-based and very tactical combat. You can also play as an adventurer and assault dungeons made by you or other players.
Dungeon management
You will dig deep into the mountain and build dozens of rooms, corridors and traps. Your minions will train and produce weapons and armor. Prisoners will be tortured. You will research new technologies like alchemy, beast mutation and sorcery.Roguelike mechanics
The world is simulated on a very detailed level. Creatures use equipment and consumable items. There are dozens of special items, spells, attributes and special attacks. You can cut off heads and limbs and blind or poison your enemies. If you're not careful with fire, you can burn an entire forest or even your own dungeon.Large, procedurally generated maps
In your neighborhood you'll find castles, villages, other dungeons and special locations. Slay heroes, dragons and witches for their loot. Every game you play will be different.Online map sharing
