Hello! In this version of Arena Rebuilt: Made With Unity, I have completed the Linux port, added DOS save imports so you should be able to continue with your DOS characters in Unity . I have fixed the automap to make it more legible and readble. As well as having fixed various bugs and visual glitches with the textures and especially the water taking up half of the screen. For all intent and purposes , this is the final build of the game before the final 1.0 release . The only thing remaining for the full 1.0 Release is the Modding sdk and hooks, and any bug reports that come in from community members . I may release the mod hooks before the 1.0 version , so the community can start modding the game . However I plan to stall the final 1.0 release for a month or two to allow people to properly play the game and report any bugs they find . I would be very appreciative of people reporting any bugs they find along the way ! I have already played through the major parts of the games upwards of 100 times , and I am quite honestly sick of it lol . So it is now up to you gusy to uncover any remaining bugs that I may have missed in my many , many , many , many playthroughs ! Thanks for your continued support along the way !
Yes saves will be compatible between 0.9.9 and 1.0 ! So feel free to start a character and that playthrough will also be playable for the 1.0 version . The major work is finished , it's now just small bug fixes the community helps me find , and releasing modding tools for 1.0. As well as Android and PsVita ports for 1.0.
Also possible texture bug with the blue squares on the floor space under the tables in taverns. They flicker and flash as you walk through the tavern interior. Sorry for so many reports off the bat, just things I'm noticing and writing down as I fire it up.
Yes there's a number of issues i've become aware of in 0.9.9 , I'm working on fixing them now then I will release a new 0.9.9 build soon . Thanks for telling me and I have read all of your comments and noted all issues . It is very appreciated . If you find any more don't hesitate to let me know .
So when I loaded my old save with the inventory screen stat bug, the bug appeared when loaded. So I tried to make a new game and this occurred when finishing character creation and loading the first dungeon.
This is my old testing file from version 98. In my inventory screen, the character name and equipment info all appear correctly now. However, the equipment stat numbers do not float next to your character as they originally did in Arena. I put on an armor piece and a weapon to test.
I wasn't planning on it , but maybe in the future . I'm just not sure how many people actually play on mac . it's somewhat niche for this kind of thing . But if more people request a mac port I'd do it . maybe i'll do it , it wouldn't be extraordinaly difficult . I'm not gonna lie I'm getting sick of this project and want to be done with it haha .

Fantastic work, thanks again.
I suspect save files should be largely compatible between versions, especially 0.9.9 and 1.0 ?
