0.2.7 will not yet have an installer based setup as that would take another day or three and I'd prefer to release a new version as many many more bugs have been fixed and I hope to stabilize the 0.2.x line.
That's my prerequisite for starting development on 0.3.x and for now the major features planned for 0.3.0 are the following ones:
- missile combat
- many new items: missile weapons, missiles and thrown items
- monsters using missiles
- the new layout for the main screen and the splash screen (including the logo from the ADOM II design competition - the final version is gorgeous)
- soundtrack support including the sounds done by Oneiros Dieguez
- an installer based setup using the Bitrock Installbuilder (no more Java Web Start with all its ugly bugs)
- a faster startup time
- Java 7 as the base line for development
Looks like things are indeed heating up nicely for the Summer for ADOM II and the growing number of fellow travelers alongside! Can we expect the return of teaser videos in the month or so run up to 0.3.0?
