Dawn of the Mexica version 1.05 is out! Featuring user defined keybinding for most of the basic actions in the game.

Happy New Year! Back from Christmas holidays, with a few updates and planning some future features like fast-actions and maybe key bindings (though this requires some heavy refactorization).

With this update:

- Random name generator added to character creation, with a few common male and female mexica names.

- Now both stunned and knockout status show in a corner how long they will be active. This will help you strategize better your following actions.

- New unique added: Diego de Landa, the Inquisitor ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diego_de_Landa )

- Luck bonus now affects weapon critical failures, so if you have enough luck, it will be less likely that you get the harshest (stunned and knocked out) critical failure consequences.

- Change in monster skills, since they were too fast. Internally they're treated like mana-less spells, which means they are too fast. This also will make owls hoot a little less frequently.

- Bugfix: A streamer found a bug in which part of the second level wasn't generated when switching to it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnKCwbfAT9Y

Its been impossible to replicate the bug, but watching the video closely it must be at 2.37.14 when switching to the Chapultepec level, since it fastly displays Chapultepec (2nd level) then Coatltitlán (1st level). The most likely problem is that the two level changes were so fast that this messed up the internal data.

Really unlikely but it indeed happened, so a fix was added: Internal code preventing level change overlap.

Short Dawn of the Mexica run showing some gameplay from the game and a few tips & tricks from its creator.

Changes in this version:

* Four new help screens which explain player spells.

* New unique character: Yaretzi the Entranced Nahualli. It comes with a new more monster spell.

* Heavy optimization on savefiles, so that those from mid-late game become smaller. load/save time in mid-late game has been dramatically decreased

* Fix: Christian priest spells "iron nails" and "crown of thorns" now take into account your magic resistance.

* Review of the "morgue data" section, aligning the morgue file data so it is easier to read and changing a couple of colors on the ordering.

* Increased the amount of lillies in the Chapultepec level.

* Adjustments to fix pixel size when resizing the resolution in the in-game menu.

* Review of several texts including the skills part in the inline help.

In this update:

* Morguefile browser and reader: This is a new option in the main menu which reads all morguefiles (summaries of each and every character you've played) and lets you order them by date, XP and turns played. It also features a reader for it.

* < and > bugfix: This update fixes the problems with US keyboards and '<' '>' keys.

* F1 (help) ingame icon: This wasn't linked anywhere. You can browse 4 help pages about key bindings, skills and special item codes.

* More uniques: Added a new unique character (feral teenager) and fixed Cincalco so that there's more variety and some more uniques show up. Uniques are usually enemies (though they can be allies) that randomly show up. They aren't guaranteed to appear in every game.

* Clearer Zoom option highlight for high definition screens when you start a game or the tutorial.

* Atlatl message clarifying that you need to wield an atlatl spearthrower to throw atlatl spears when there's spears in the quiver but you have not equipped a spearthrower.

* Easier tutorial: Your character is a little more powerful in the tutorial, so hopefully it doesn't take too long to kill the rats with spells and bow.

* "Game in progress" warning when you try to create a new game but you still haven't finished the previous one.

* Tutorial save bugfix: You could save the game in the tutorial through the bug sending mechanism and thus ruin your character progress. It was very rare since it makes no sense to play the tutorial while there's a real game in course, but still fixed.

* Slight main menu change in which the occasional red buzzing image doesn't conceal menu options.

CHANGELOG v1.01

This version is released so fast to fix a bug.

- Fixed a critical bug that happened sometimes when reaching the 2nd map. This is what I get for adding content in the last week before release :(

- Meditating now recovers stamina. It uses less time and recovers more stamina the more proficient you are.

- Link to Tips & Tricks if you survive less than 500 turns.

- Sound added when you're drowning.
