Announcing ADOM 3.0.5 as a prerelease and public Steam beta

Hi everyone!

We just released ADOM 3.0.5 to our prerelease testers... the most important new feature is the ability to delete highscore entries which became a necessity to allow people to remove highscores created through uncouth means before synchronizing them to Rogueleague.org. This now is possible.

All other bug fixes are documented as usual in the changelog. The prerelease is available from the same location as always.

IMPORTANT UPDATE (slight miscommunication between Jochen, who is doing the Steam deployments, and me ;-) ): ADOM 3.0.5 is already on Steam as a public beta. This page explains how to activate it.

Oh, and please vote for ADOM to become the Indie Game of the Year 2017 at IndieDB ;-) Thanks so much!

ADOM made the IndieDB Top 100 - now let's try to win!

Some statistics for you:

• We have added dozens of new quests, hundreds of new items and artifacts as well as many new monsters and other mechanisms.
• We have hugely revised the UI (user interface) to make the game a lot more accessible to new players.
• In the last six months alone we have processed 838 tickets (RFEs, bugs, etc.).
• We have published 40 blog postings and hundreds of other social media postings to inform and grow the community.
• We intend to finish all our crowdfunding promises by the end of this week.
• In doing so we have sent out thousands of physical rewards from the crowdfunding campaign into the world (ADOM Lite RPG, ADOM RPG boxes, postcards, code certificates and so much more).
• We just released the first beta version of our Rogueleague.org community server (http://rogueleague.org).
• We have managed to get funding in order to hopefully produce the ultimate next-generation roguelike experience: Ultimate ADOM.

So ADOM is more alive than ever! And now we need your voices to be heard in our quest to carry true roguelike gaming into the mainstream. Please vote for ADOM as your support means more to us than anything else!
