Ananias Roguelike: Version 1.61 Released; Greenlit on Steam

Slashing Dragon has released version 1.61 of Ananias Roguelike; the updated version can be picked up via the following online storefronts and portals:

Windows, Mac and Linux

Android

Web

As well, Slash has some other good news to share:

  • On a related note, thanks in great part to the campaign the game has been Greenlit for distribution on Steam! I am doing all the paperwork and setup required and will be planning the features of the steam version for a successful release. THANKS TO EVERYBODY WHO VOTED!
  • We are going live on Desura next May 22th.

There is also a bit of bad news, however:

  • Our submission to GoG.com was rejected due to the game being “too small in scale in terms of production value” for their core users.

So that’s a pity. The iOS version is also not yet ready, although apparently Slash has been putting significant effort into it of late.

Here’s what’s new in version 1.61:

Gameplay

  • Arcane master can no longer unleash the full power of Elemental spells (however he can still use them safely)
  • All classes can now use wands to freeze and shock enemies
  • Friendly monsters no longer spend their summon points on safe rooms
  • Barbarian charges cannot be parried now

User Experience

  • Default message windows are now better looking using sweetAlert
  • Elemental spells now have new projectile graphics
  • Show player info on Title screen, remove Profile page
  • Changes on the “Online” menu to be easier to use

And, as per usual, many bugs have been squashed.
