The next stretch goal is for the game to ship with a tileset so that it looks just as pretty as ToME or Crawl. This level is only about $4000 away, and there are eight days left to meet it. There are a host of stretch goals beyond that, including new quests. Check out the website for details.Furthermore, since the project is funded, anyone who contributes at the $40 level will indeed receive a print copy of the ADOM tabletop RPG. Any lovers of the game have something great to look forward to! The author has already committed to a fair amount of new content to the game. Quoted from the campaign site:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">    New stable releases for all supported platforms (Windows, Linux, MacOS, Amiga, NetBSD, FreeBSD; Android and iPad/iOS are going to be stretch goals). Operating systems have evolved since 2002 and compatibility is becoming a serious issue.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">    Bug fixes for every bug we can find</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">    Game balance patches</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">    At least 12 new corruptions will be added to the corruption system.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">    13 new items will be added (but see below for that extra level).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">    4 new monsters will be added (but see below for that extra level).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">    As a result of "getting over with funding on August 22nd" an extra special new boss monster with a special new map, 2 new artifacts, 4 new minion monsters for said boss and 16 new items that only will be recoverable on said special level are going to be added to the game.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">    More elaborate interaction for many things that are currently only handled superficially</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">    UI improvements to bring ADOM up-to-date with the progress the roguelike genre has made, to be decided upon based on recommendations of players in the forums (e.g. colored message, some kind of auto-exploration and others)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">    A series of magical statues distributed across the dungeons</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">    A roster of new named random boss monsters with special powers</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">    Exciting new graphics for the title screen and some quest-related events</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">    Audio for sound effects and music for the game areas and important events</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">    A freshly revised manual</li> </ul>Thanks for listening!Ben</blockquote>
