Hey Rat Punchers, Happy New Year!

As always, I like to write a blog post at the start of the year to recap, summarize my current plans for Shattered, and share what my main priorities are for the coming year. This post starts with a year in review, and then lists the major changes and additions that I have planned for Shattered Pixel Dungeon in 2026 and beyond!

Agreed. What disturbs me about the scrolls is that symbols have moved from clear and legible to wiggled and harder to recognize.

For enemies, wands, or potion bottles a little more 3d is ok and looks good, but for the scrolls and runestones it is a downgrade. The symbols are their distinguishing feature, so they should be kept clear.

Also, bottles and seeds have their colors to tell them apart, wands have different colors and shapes, so tweaking their 3d does n
