0.34.2747 - Polish (No pun intended!)

So, first of all this update finishes (makes stable) the new monsters generation logic. It still has some minor issues, but the benefits outweigh the drawbacks by a lot :D Now each dungeon level can be more or less “specialized” to the point of spawning only one kind of the monsters which can lead to very interesting situations, together with ability to “plan” how to approach them (some are extra efficient against nude target but almost useless against a dressed one, others are inverse).

And a ton of other fixes/improvements/changes. One more noteworthy of those: monsters who previously had a “vision bonus” for nude target (such as tickling, binding, web opponents) equal for both top and bottom now usually have a much higher vision bonus for naked bottom than top (which makes strategy “either dressed or stark naked” less sensible), except for tickling opponents who do the inverse - those are more likely to see the nipples than nethers.

Yes, some day there will be a lore entry on numinescence (nude luminescence). In short it’s caused by a persistent organic pollutant from medicine the characters (as every other inhabitant of Lutum) had to take before the events of the game. But this is for (much?) later. What matters now is that monsters (called here vegebeasts, as originally they were of vegetative origin) usually lack developed eyes and have to rather rely on hearing, smell or vision in narrow spectral bands conveniently designed to match emission spectra of those POPs.
