Really ought to include a help file of some kind. Figuring out the keybinds was a pain. Otherwise, good job!

There'll be, but the keybinding screen is kinda an help file in itself since it lists the available keys and tells you what they are bound to

wow, amazing! i've been waiting for Something To Happen to ToME for the longest time, this announcement is everything i could have hoped for

DarkGod - I've been a fan of ToME since it's inception, and before that Angband, Moria, etc. I've enjoyed each incarnation of ToME you've developed, but you've outdone yourself with this one. The change in direction lends itself to incredibly flexible possibilities. I look forward to seeing where ToME 4 goes.

One minor thought: A suicide key would be great, particularly in Beta - after using my last phase door and ending up in an impenetrable thicket of trees, I was unable to get out, or to kill myself.

Keep up the extraordinary work!
