Once players reach the "escape ship" they will be able to teleport bodies home, and also turn on radio communications for the Z-level.
New Zounds Township... you can kill all the locals, or you can blend in with them by wearing a deputy badge.
You'll need to break into the Sheriff's Office to get one, though.
The streets have been cleared of mines and are better lit, but that doesn't mean the locals are pushovers...
The town acts as a hub for a series of mines, caves, and even a crypt.
There are a few bosses too.
SPECIAL THANKS TO Optimism: Sprites for a LOT of enemies; mapping of 2 areas Blithering: A few key, high quality sprites Yvvel: mapped several town buildings

- tweak: Revamped Wild West away mission.
Did you fix the windows, you could always walk through them before for whatever reason on the old version?
With kanef's mob that responds to commands thing, would it be possible to have the bartender throw a drink at you on request? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T28LyXf8MlU
Possible, yes, but there's already so much content at this point that I'm worried about creeping content even more. NPC behaviors are a rabbit hole.
Also I've no idea how easy or hard it is, and seeing the length of the TODO list I'm not entirely sure I should request this, but assuming it is eassy, would it be possible to have the bull meat from butchering renamed to "carne de lidia" (bullfighting meat)?
I've been adding a lot of new behaviors for hostile mobs in this pack - new behaviors for
- Leashing
- Strafing
- Actions when retreating
- Actions when first aggroed
- Better retaliation code for faction based behavior
And other miscellaneous improvements. Most of these are done and working, but getting strafing to work has been a challenge. Strafing covers enemies who do "attack runs" -- picture Black Dragon Kalameet or a bomber plane. With a strafe width of 0, it also covers enemies who charge directly over their foes, like bulls.
