It’s Mecha Monday, which means a new release of GearHead Caramel! You can get it from all the usual places- Steam, itch.io, Patreon, and GitHub.
Version 0.925 adds some new stuff for dungeons. Every dungeon level now comes with at least one special feature- an encounter or room that is a little bit out of the ordinary. Some of these features will be good for your PC, while others will not be so good. In addition, many monsters now leave behind treasure- if you have the skill to take it. Characters who know the Wildcraft skill can harvest meat, pelts, and other valuable items from slain creatures. Scientists can disassemble robots and get a variety of useful items… or at least a pile of spare parts that might come in handy later.
In addition, there are some cosmetic improvements. New signs have been added for a number of businesses and other buildings. Restaurants and taverns now have tables and chairs (Dick Valentine would approve). Some new effects and animations have been added- you should try some of this giant rat steak, it’s delicious.
If you have the commercial version of the game, the manual has been updated with a section on modding GearHead Caramel. It’s a bit rudimentary yet but a good start is better than a bad end.
