The initial version of this game was Slash's entry for the second 7DRL programming contest

In the 7DRL version, there was no way to access the different weapons or armor which were already available; an updated version was released on 07/05/2006; it added LOS, items on floor, and enhanced UI and combat.

After a lot of work, and three playtesting versions, a very updated version 0.3 was released 24/01/07, which added lots of things including 8 Circles of magic, lots of spells, combat maneuvers, a GFX interface and much more.
