Release 0.64 of Alternate Reality X is now available from the download pages over at:
I’ve added the final City establishment – the City Healers – to the game, City style potions, poison, diseases and a number of bug fixes. All 44 types of potion can be found in the game but several of them will need some work in the next release to be a 100% completed. Treasure Finding is working though and directly influences the probability of finding treasure after an encounter – something which people had mentioned in the last release. Potions are easier to find in this version than they will be in the final version to give players the chance to try them out.
The full list of changes include:
- Added City Healers – Includes heal wounds, cure disease, remove alcohol and remove delusions
- Added City style potions as treasure – Examine, Sip, Taste and Quaff
