Early Access Update #11 (version 0.9.1) - Performance Update

Hear ye! Hear ye! Adventurers! Today we have released update #11 (0.9.1) for thy Ultimate ADOM Early Access! We have been focussed heavily on the outstanding performance issues reported by you for this patch.

Significant Changes and Improvements

Loading and Saving will now be much, much faster.
Large areas of water (such as Lake Gloom) will no longer significantly impact performance.
The perceived performance issues in levels below Lake Gloom should no longer be present. If you still encounter issues, please send them in including your system specifications.
Multiple enemies are now firing at you simultaneously, instead of taking turns. This should speed up combat against many enemy archers significantly.
Corruption now spreads slower than before. On every new level, you have some breathing space before it starts to spread.
Ammunition used in ranged attacks now has a trail to make it more visible.
Overall performance improvement for slower systems.

Other important Fixes

Critical hits will no longer be quite as unfair to you. Heavily armed monsters are still very dangerous to engage in melee, but will less likely result in a crippled adventurer.
Floating messages now follow the being they're referring to.
Playing with keyboard or gamepad will also show tooltips when selecting items in the inventory and other places now.
There have been various seemingly inexplicable bugs floating around, which were caused by a deep system problem hidden away from cursory eyes. We fixed something regarding this, and believe most bugs will now at least be explicable. Again, if you encounter things you believe are not the way they are meant to, please let us know!

Many, many minor bugfixes.

Too numerous and less impacting the game-experience for all, or just even few players at all.

The Story so Far

Evil has been vanquished. Peace has returned to Ancardia, and the peasants dare to dream once more of prosperity. Seven very different factions vie for control over the cataclysmic aftermath left behind by Andor Drakon’s defeat. And somewhere, deep down in an inhospitable cave, ChAoS is stirring again.

Pick up your blade, prepare your spells, check your daggers and ready your bow, for you are about to enter the ominous Caverns of Chaos. Choose your allegiance carefully, for you are nothing more than an expendable asset to the masters you choose.

Fight for a mercenary's glory and purse, for the justice of a folk in decline, for the light of purity or even for ChAoS itself. Every choice you make will determine how you approach the ever-changing Caverns of Chaos before you.

Features and Gameplay

Ultimate ADOM is a modern reimagining of traditional rogue-like dungeon-crawling.
Endless procedurally generated dungeons, countless monsters, items and a grand selection of very different skills allow for unlimited replayability
Intuitive control system will get rid of the need to memorize hundreds of keys. Though you can still do so, if you're into that. We are not judging.
Your chosen class, gender, race and allegiance will change the way the game challenges you. NPCs will react differently, new quests will be open to you and the world may change completely based on your performance.
A deep magic system with several unique schools of magic and dozens of spells per school. Flaming auras that damage nearby enemies, cold snaps that freeze rivers, animating the very walls of the dungeon to aid you - everything is possible.
A stealth system introduces a totally new way of playing the game: Instead of hacking or blasting all opposition to pieces you now can sneak past adversaries and avoid conflict by silently sneaking out of deadly situations.
Interactive items! Topple braziers to spill their burning oil on unsuspecting enemies. Push coffins to block passage ways, or smash them in hopes of loot. Lock doors, smash them, open them or turn them into wooden golems to (hopefully) serve your bidding.
Turn yourself into an abomination and graft your enemies’ body parts on yourself. They won’t need them any more, and what is better than wielding two swords? Two swords and an axe to harvest more bodyparts than ever before.
Choose or toggle between graphic mode and traditional ASCII at any time. Toggle between 3d mode and top down view, in ASCII or in the graphic mode. Toggle everything you wish, we probably have a game mode just for you.
“Play the way you want” – countless options of how to tackle the dungeons awaiting you. Befriend or tame creatures, slay monsters, delve deeper or keep exploring and expanding the cavern levels you have already found. Set traps and smash doors, or unlock them with the keys you found. Push coffins and other objects!
