7DRL 2025 notes:

• ESC key exits full screen mode on itch.io. Please use BACKSPACE key to cancel targetting.
• There are some issues with python wasm and audio, so the sound/volume option sliders don't work on the web version.
• You can mouse hover most things for more information.

This game utilises my existing WIP engine called RL2. Some of the features my engine provided before the jam:

• Input management
• Complex turn-based game state management
• Complex entity state management
• Entity cache and index management for collisions and positions
• Map management
• Animated entities
• Pre-made widgets
• Inventory, Skill and Perk management
• Random map generation
• Entity and targeting systems
• Particle Effects
