ADOM 3.2.0 released as a Steam beta!

Hi everyone!

We are proud to finally announce the release of ADOM 3.2.0 as a Steam beta version (follow this link to read how to activate a Steam beta).

The central new feature of ADOM 3.2.0 is a high personalization and customization level of the PC sprite. Hair color, armor, weapon type, etc. now will show. There are still tons of detail we have to add but the amount of variety already now has been mind-staggering.

So enjoy the first release of this feature, let us know what you think and we will work on improving it. The brief changelog can be found in the usual place.

Axes high!

ADOM 3.1.2 available as Steam beta

Hi everyone!

Directly on the heels of yesterdays ADOM 3.1.1 release follows today ADOM 3.1.2 with yet another bunch of bug fixes, some of them sadly introduced by yesterdays release (two crash bugs among them).

The quick next release is a testament of how well releasing works on Steam (it's a breeze compared to  what we need to do to publish a more general public release - so the latter in the future will be less common than Steam releases). The quick next release also is a testament of how my new-born daughters causes me to botch my concentration skill checks... some of the bugs are a bit shameful ;-)

Give me some more time to get accomodated to our new life - while it's fun, it's quite challenging, too.

Without further ado here we go with the latest ADOM release on Steam:

• Here's the ADOM Steam page.
• Here are the instructions for activating the beta release.
• And here's the changelog.

Happy hacking!

ADOM R67 (version 2.2.1) released as a Steam beta release

Hi!

It's the last step before the general public Steam release: If you have bought ADOM on Steam you already now can play the latest release - but you will have to do some extra steps as we still would like to receive some feedback on its stability before releasing it to the general public.

To be able to play ADOM R67 (version 2.2.1) execute the following steps:

• Go to your Steam games library.
• Right-click on the ADOM entry.
• Select the "Betas" tab.
• Select "Beta - public beta test" in the dropdown box.
• Close the dialog.
• Play.

We'll keep it like this for another 3-4 days and if no major bugs are reported we will release ADOM to the general Steam public.

You can find the list of changes here (all the changes since December, 2015, so all for R65, R66 and R67). If you find any problems please report them here. The major changes are:

• Point-based character generation and generally a much more versatile character generation process
• New dungeons, items and adventures (tome of donors added, etc.)
• Many new graphics
• Fine-tuning to many items and monsters (tougher bosses!)
• Better walk-explore mode (just press "-" to see)
• And lots more. Read the change log :-)

And now enjoy the game - we are eagerly waiting for your feedback!
