Grand Rogue Auto 0.6.5 Released

The version 0.6.5 of GRA has been released !
It's available in the download section.

This release introduces the first proper dungeon (Necro-Tech building) and, of course, the dungeon editor. It also fixes numerous bugs and issues, mainly related to factions. It also add a new building size (very large 3x3). Currently, it is only used for dungeons and a place-holder factory, but more will come. However, the Military Base introduced in 0.6.0 doesn't have loot yet and isn't a moddable dungeon. I will see what I can do about that in the next version. Also, even if modding a new dungeon by yourself is possible, the process to do so isn't really intuitive. I will post a tutorial / video about that soon.

In other news : the code itself has been optimized, and as a result the game should take a bit less RAM and CPU than before; new weapons and objects have been added (to populate the dungeon); also, some older NPC had a facelift.

As usual check the changelog below for a complete list of changes. You can also check the previous Dev. Update for more details.
