Thank you for the link!
The last Heng version I played was something like 1.7, so this could be 'interesting'.

BackwardsEric appears to be contributing to the Hengband dev branch. @BackwardsEric, if he reads this, what's new slated for Hengband 3.x?

I don't know (I just try to make sure that there current master compiles on the Mac and occasionally do a bit of playtesting of that). This page, https://hengband.github.io/history.html , looks like it links to their immediate plans, in Japanese, for 3.0 and beyond.

Based on Chrome's translation, it's quite a lot of stuff they're planning to be working on!

I love their use of dithered blocks.

Ah, so that's what it looked like. ": )

They just told me today https://github.com/hengband/hengband/issues/2015 that the English world score server is "no longer in operation"--I got a 500 Internal Server Error when trying to submit a (low) score. Apparently you can use the --disable-worldscore parameter with ./configure to turn it off in your build.

They said it was because "there is little demand for it." Maybe it more of us play they'll be inspired to turn it back on. : D

With the latest code in their dev branch, worldscore is automatically disabled if you're using the --disable-japanese configure option; no need to use the --disable-worldscore command line option anymore.

The Hengband world map:

Was the world map changed in recent versions? It's been a while since I played base Hengband, but it looks similar to the one in 1.6.x - 1.7.x versions.
