v0.6.9.5 - May UpdateI tell you, I hate level design -- but I'm so damn dedicated to this game that I'm doing it anyway. In fact 'level design' describes most of what I've been up to this past month.
The interior of the Power Plant is taking shape, and you'll be able to explore the first few rooms in this update (highlighted in yellow in this little preview):

That should give you an idea of the content avalanche that's on the way, and even this preview doesn't show the full extent of the Power Plant's size or its mysteries!
Other new features include fresh functionality added to the TTS engine, new music, some UI improvements, and more...
As usual, the new stuff is accompanied by a slew of fixes big and small, including some important steps forward for general stability. Please keep reporting any bugs you find so that I may fix them.
Until the next update... Stay safe out there, Stalkers!

Darkest Dungeon,
the Zone seeks to seamlessly blend exploration, card battles and RPG elements, with a rich story crafted by industry veterans (
Mount&Blade,
The Next World).
