The next release will be Waste's Edge, but based on the v0.4 engine.
That means changed graphics, more polish and a few additional
features. Storywise it will be unchanged. You'll have to wait for Dun
Barethsol for something truly new.

As for the release date, there's some doubt that we'll manage to get
everything done by the end of the year. Only two months left and still
a lot to be done. Best you subscribe to adonthell-announce
(http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/adonthell-announce) and
you'll know that we're done the moment we're done :-).

We're kind of following the "tradition" to name the game after a place
that plays a major role in the game. Since it's an ancient place of
Elvish origin this time, the title is going to reflect that. We refer
to it as DB, so it's not harder to remember than WE ;-).

I'd love to have it redesigned and the old/invalid content thrown out.
But there isn't anyone around to lend a hand with that. If somebody
wants to have a go, feel free!

Gotta remove that with the next news update then.
