This month we've got not just one big milestone, but two! First up is a complete rewrite of controller support, which now behaves much more reliably during combat and in cursor mode. Quick refs have been updated to reflect the changes and are now launched by default on some screens. Second is the integration of the Festvox text-to-speech engine. It includes a number of different voices for the player to choose from ([b]changeable at any time in the options menu[/b]), as well as unique NPC voices. It sounds robotic, of course, but if you're not fond of reading then this should be a good solution until such time as voice acting becomes available. In less huge news, many bugs have been fixed, and work continues on the Power Plant biome for which we've been drawing a brand-new isometric tileset.

Check below for the customary list of changes, and as always, please report any issues you come across so I can fix them. Until the next update... Happy Stalking!
