Escape from the Master’s Lair Alpha 0.5 released

I’ve made another release of Escape from the Master’s Lair, bringing the version up to Alpha 0.5.

Introducing a slew of bug fixes, balance improvements (including some major sweeping changes), and a few little features here and there, Alpha 0.5 should significantly improve the playability/fun factor of the game.

Highlights of this release:

* Fixed a few major problems with the template system. Items will now have proper attributes.
* Completely changed balance for armor and weapon stats.
* Significantly accelerated leveling.
* Player highlighting feature, for when you just can’t figure out who you are in life.
* Health bars are now easier to see.
* Darkness and dark spawning monsters are now more dangerous than ever!
