'''ATTENTION''': the game defaults to automatically checking for updates on startup;  if this behavior is undesirable for any reason, you can disable it by adding the line "Autoupdate=false" to the file "settings.cfg".
Note that save-file compatibility is not guaranteed between versions, and attempting to load cross-version will most likely result in the program crashing or other bugs.

Design

The game draws the most influence from ADOM, but it will go far beyond that. The world will be randomly generated, continents, dungeons, towns, cities, etc. There will be a single over-arching theme to the game, but there will also be random quests, as well as a selection of preset quests that will appear in some or all games. The idea is to take the great ideas of ADOM and other roguelikes and remove their limitations while improving upon them. Rather than the world and quests being completely static (and limited), they will be as dynamic as possible while still retaining their meaning and feel.

A lot of the mechanics will differ from ADOM, of course, but in the end it aims to be in the spirit of ADOM (and its predecessors), without limitations and with maximum re-playability.
