Slashing Dragon, it would seem, does not rest often; as a result, he has released yet another update for Ananias. For the moment, only the web version of the game has received the update; presumably the various other versions of the game on various digital storefronts will receive it in short order.

This version focuses mostly on user and gameplay experience updates, including:

Gameplay

• Brew methil potion with Arsenic + Borax.
• Increase starting MP.
• Increase MP bonus on Level Up.
• Reduce spell costs.
• Implement Magic effects for Tiaras.
• Reduce boosted elemental magic modifier from 4 to 2.
• Add pumped magic modifier x3.
• Add evading melee attacks.
• Recover 20% of total HP on level up.
• Remove Level 0 Level Up.
• Make monster summons ephemeral, they die within some turns.
• Make monster’s status be updated when in other rooms.
• Make partial healing spells and items based on rolls.

User Experience

• Add confirmation to kill character.
• Show player info on new game.
• Show player and pet info on a new scrollable popup.
• Show player passive skills on player info popup.
• Add damage roll to spell description.
• Add prompt to select action when there’s a conflict on interacting with self (Pass turn / Pick Item / Use Pond / Use stairs).
• Add custom alert/prompt dialog.
• Show item summary on Chibi inventory panel.
• Don’t stop quick movement because of friendlies.
• Make inspector pop up on gameover on mobile.
• Show more messages on the HUD message.

Slashing Dragon does note that as his day job has resumed, his pace of work on Ananias after this release will probably be a bit slower.
