FLARE 0.16 incoming!

FLARE the open source RPG Game/Engine has reached a new milestone 0.16 RC1. For those confused if it is a game or an engine with a small amount of art to demo it, well it's an Engine with the first game being a type of dungeon crawler (so the engine and first game are being done together). It is planned to be the basis for a number of games.

Features to look for in this version:

Improved enemy pathfinding
Enemies can no longer stack in the same position
Hero can no longer move through enemies
Flying creatures added (there is one Wyvern in the Plains)
Config Menu with plenty of options
New portraits during character creation (not all have matching heads yet...)
Permadeath option when creating a character (how far can you get?)
Floating combat text

I love FLARE, it has good art, good direction and good features.

Clint has also teased something else that will come to FLARE - Monster Spawners;
