0.37.2962 - Compact inventory and Ram monster

WARNING: This update reverts tileset size to 11x11 (from experimental 32x32 in previous build). I’m horribly sorry for the inconvenience, but if the game loads and the map looks like random garbage, press “pause” tap 5 times in the top-left corner of the screen (on Desktop you can just press F1) and select “Restart Map”. The rendering subsystem is just not ready for higher load, it’ll be optimized in the future, but not too soon, hence the game runs like a snail on not-the-worst Android device. And in the future I’ll also make rebuilding of the tileset for specific tile size automatically, without any need to restart anything.

So, for the actual updates:

Finally the inventory stopped taking almost 1/3 of the game-play area. Now by default it starts in a “compact” form which works exactly the same as it worked before but there are icons instead of items names. If you click/tap on the character’s avatar, it’ll switch between full (like it was before) and compact modes.

Second big update: new monster - Ram (starts spawning at lvl.9 and patrolling at lvl.17), and higher grade Siege Ram (starts spawning at lvl.22 and patrolling at lvl.32). As the name suggests this monster will crash into player character at full speed, knocking off a piece of equipment or dealing double damage. Also as the name suggests, it’s extremely dumb and can easily lose the track of the target after crashing into stuff. It also has a high vision bonus for a dressed up target.

Changelog:

• Switch between Full and Compact inventory layout by clicking on character’s avatar
• New enemies: Ram and Siege Ram with a new mechanics (ram) and assets
• Generic bondage item icon (to be changed into specific bondage items later)
• Batched rendering of map items (big optimization)
• Return tileset to 11x11 size, it’s too laggy on mobile, still waiting for optimization or other changes
• Fix bug with inventory buttons updating sequence
• Fix equip slots summary when showing message about struggling to exhaustion
• Fix typo “Restar This Map”
• Change item slot opacity 100% -> 20%
