I keep needing to modify what sets off the town alarm. I don't think the player cares if an NPC kills a spider or a monster destroys a player placed torch deep below ground.

I fixed the map line of sight stuff today in Din's Champion. Exploration is much more fun when the map doesn't reveal everything to you.

I added some variable rate fps stuff for monster attack animations to give players more warning when an attack is happening. I'm not sure anyone will directly notice, but it makes things feel better.

I added a bunch of glass, brick, and cut stone blocks to Din's Champion today so that players have more materials to build with.

You can now actively block attacks in Din's Champion. It's much more effective with a shield, but it works with weapons also.

Interestingly, coding wise, the transition from Drox Operative 2 to Din's Champion has been much more work than the transition from Din's Curse to Drox Operative.

I reworked the world setup options today in Din's Champion so they are much simpler for new players (name, size, and pace). All of the advanced options are still there, just hidden behind a show advanced options check box.
