Version 2.0.8 of DROD: Journey to Rooted Hold has been released by Caravel Games. DROD: Journey to Rooted Hold is a sequel to the dungeon action game Deadly Rooms of Death. Changes:

• Game texts: weren’t changing when only removing characters from the end.
• Import: more robust to invalid data.
• Hold upgrade: doesn’t assume previously clean rooms are automatically conquered.
• Room editor: couldn’t undo a character script view/edit. Removed confirmation on serpent deletion.
• Rattlesnakes: weren’t killed by NPC sword stabs.
• Characters: subtle script fixes; invisible swords should not be treated as monster barriers; wubba NPC is now invulnerable by default; mimic/decoy NPCs can now light fuses and drop trapdoors.
• Export: Now can export hold speech script by enabling ExportSpeech ini parameter.
• Explosions: effect is no longer expansion order-dependent.
• Seep: kills by door now counted.
• Level start position: couldn’t place sword on serpent.
• Minimap: room state wasn’t updating when an NPC turns into a monster.
• Brain powerdown: was incorrectly playing on some room entrances.
• Stairs: double cast shadow.
