As some of you may know, DG is in the process of testing a new release of T-Engine. Among many changes, there are a lot of behind-the-screens fixes, including ego generation, UI and performance improvements.
I am busy adding more content while waiting for 1.3 to land.
Some old contributors have pitched in with UI fixes, so the game should be even more enjoyable than before.
