Hey rat punchers, Shattered Pixel Dungeon v2.5.0 is getting very, very close to being ready for beta. Sorry for the delay, but there's a few additions over what I was originally planning for this update that have made it take a while.
One of those additions is region splash arts during the game's loading screens! After teasing these all the way back in 2023 they're now ready, and will release with v2.5.0!
Just wondering, are there a few variations for each region? Randomly picking from say, 3 or so different loading screens seems like it would be in line with some of the other variety features, such as the three-part music tracks or the three sad ghost dialogue lines per region.
Actually yes, there are variations! You see the whole splash on landscape, but for portrait mobile users the game picks between 2 different vertical slices of the image.
Are there any variations for entering boss floors? I think that would be really neat. Like when entering floor 10, you get a splash art of a single locked cell or something like that
