In addition to his new vodcast, Slashing Dragon has also released version 1.3 of Stygian Abyss. It is, of course, available to play online right now.

Changes in this version include:

• Increase resolution of dungeon textures
• Increase resolution of monsters
• Ranged enemy attacks
• Darken monster colors
• Improve sounds
• Walking sound
• Regen Mana over time

As well, Slash and Jucarave are still looking for a pixel artist:

• Enhance the monster sprites with textures, correct shadows and better colors
• Add more detailed walking animations for monsters
• Add attacking and dying animations for monsters
• Add animations for the viewport weapons
• UI frame similar to Ultima Underworld
