Well… I didn’t really mean explore, you basically adventure through the levels and get upgrades as you go… I have been sick for the past few days so I have spent like 7 hours a day coding, so I nearly have another version out lol… ---

What new things would you like to see in the next blight update? There is already several things I have added and I will put the ideas into a poll and see what people would like! ---

music! Sound effects! also maybe tone down the player sprite to make it more fit in the environment. And walking animations! ---

Rougelikes are extremely difficult to code. They are also my favourite games, as I always come back to [https://shatteredpixel.com](https://shatteredpixel.com) Shattered pixel dungeon, [https://store.steampowered.com/app/212680/FTL\_Faster\_Than\_Light/](https://store.steampowered.com/app/212680/FTL_Faster_Than_Light/) Ftl, and [https://store.steampowered.com/app/590380/Into\_the\_Breach/](https://store.steampowered.com/app/590380/Into_the_Breach/) Itb. The last two are not free, but you can download shattered pixel dungeon and just play it. ---

As someone who coded some stuff on this project, the error is really sad. This was really coming along, and I made a pretty cool custom status bar for it ☹
