[MPRDB] development notes

Archived from groups: rec.games.roguelike.development (More info?)

Well, David Damerell has kindly provided me with reports of a bunch of
new bugs and I'm trying to get Dungeon Bash 1.5 done; I even did some
coding this morning. Danenth remains on hold for now.

I've also updated the online bug list at:
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/ [...] /bugs.html
and created a features wishlist at:
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/ [...] hlist.html

Noted. Fixed.

Yes. There are four 'w' monsters - duellists, warlords, wizards, and
archmages.

I'm treating that as a UI bug (bug 1.4-8) rather than a wishlist item.

Now added to the wishlist.

>A "You feel hungry" message when reaching negative hunger status.

Now added to the wishlist.

Now added to the wishlist.

Have fun
