In fact, should I be given the option of what I create for my first exam, my first project will be a Warhammer 40k/Space Hulk RL. Wish me luck all, and some of you (such as Adral) should expect some pvt messages asking about any fluff or backstory I may be missing. :)
Good luck!
-- [add] new monster... you'll hate this one ;]
(removed Nightmare and added a submonster)
Wraiths are worse anyway)) This spores kill other monsters when explode?
One more note: i think that Wraith should be a high-level monster, and he must have chance to appear only on level 6 and higher. I faced Wraith on level 2, and i think that it's not good.
My table of monster appearance:
Beast - level 1
Bulldemon - level 1
Imp - level 1
Mandagore - level 1(maybe 2)
Phasehound - level 3
Defiler - level 5
Wraith - level 6
With such monster appearance you will be able to reach level 8 or 9, i think. That's enough to try Jump skill in Endless mode(yes, player must have an ability to try all maxed skill in every mode).
-- [add] added a special ability to Mandagores to make them
more interesting ;]
Yes, yes, i like new ability very much! Now Mandagores helps you to kill other monsters! Ally in disguise of enemy?))
-- [add] visual clues for the skills at skill choice
They have visual output only in skill choose screen?
-- [add] new skill -- Jump attack! ("j")
Sorry, haven't tried it yet. I'm still thinking about skills making higher damage(equal to normal damage for Sweep and Whirlwind) on higher skill levels.
-- [mod] tweaked the existing level generators to provide more
interesting results
I like new terrain generator! Levels are really more interesting now!
-- [fix] attacking on-edge monsters now possible
-- [fix] fixed doppleganger bug!
Good. Good.
My attempt in new version.

Some suggestions, what needs to be cleaned up before release:
Why one more @ always appears near player in mortem "last sight" screen?
Is it supposed that in the end, when you play someone's record, you see YOUR scoreboard?
Add shortcut with "-play" parameter to package with Berserk. And folders with mortems and records.
And my thoughts:
I'm still for giving 1 point per first 5 levels, then 2 points for ther rest of levels. Also, if you can, add few more monsters, they are always required.))
