Leave the level at the first sign that something might go wrong. Do not stay on levels. Do not get everything from levels. The longer you are on a level the more awake monsters there will be and the...

When you wield a sticky-cursed item you lose the slot indefinitely. Losing an equipment slot can range from no big deal (e.g. stuck-on boots when you haven't found any good boots yet) to...

It used to be a thing, yeah. The removal of searching is relatively recent (last 1-2 years I think), as part of a general overhaul of traps and hidden stuff.

In the given example, the spell is used twice, and the object is removed after the first casting. The character ought to be able to say "according to my notes, there should be an object there, but...

Makes sense to me. The lack of signal should be a sufficient clue that something you previously thought was there no longer is.

By baking the design of the rooms into the code, you're making it so nobody can change this bit of game content without having a full development environment set up. Much of Angband development over...

You could vary the rock type by the dungeon depth. Rubble in the first couple of levels, then magma/quartz/granite with granite coming in somewhere in the 1000-2000' range.

As I recall, the formula is that the item drop level is the monster's native depth, or the average of the current depth and the monster's native depth, whichever is larger. I don't believe this...

There was some discussion at some point in this forum's long history about curses that could only be dispelled by performing some task, e.g. "increase your max depth by 5" or "kill 10 ghosts". That...

Yeah, once you make the decision to give permanent speed on early-game gear, you find yourself with a very tricky balance problem. In Vanilla the downside doesn't even stack, so if you're going to...

Acid at least you get a halving as long as you're wearing armor in every slot. Electricity...just be careful I guess! :)

I'm sure. In older versions, monsters that spawned into the level after you entered it were always generated awake.

New monsters spawn in as time passes. They shouldn't spawn close to you but they will continue to arrive. Generally this means the level gets more dangerous as time passes.

4 feels arbitrary to me compared to 1. But in either case reduce the cost of the spell if you do this, since it's currently expensive to discourage spamming them as a prelude to the fight. If you can...

I don't see anything wrong with increasing the variety of enemies faced in the early game. It should be as simple as dialling down the frequency on Wargs/White Wolves, right?

This week I made a trailer for the game (https://twitter.com/byobattleship/status/1233860600008101888). It was a bunch of fun and of course revealed all kinds of ugly bugs that need fixing.
