Alpha 5 - the other big new feature

UPDATE: mmh the screens weren't clear enough it seems so let me detail this feature.

REINCARNATION
When you die...

• You get the choice to reincarnate or not.
• Your dead character still gets its post mortem etc... and for all intent and purpose you can consider the game lost.
• You then control a random existing NPC in the current game world (= you take control of a previously AI controlled character). You have almost no control over this process, so you first character is still the most important one for you.
• Your score is resetted, you loose your memory etc...
• Continue playing in the game world as you left it.
• So you can in theory continue to play indefinitly in the same game world.   
• Reincarnation in a living body is limited to civilians.
• You can get funny reincarnations as a zombie rat, as the Sewers Thing (if lucky!)...

I think the ability to continue playing in the same world if you want to is nice : visit old places, take revenge, switch sides...
You can still die normally of course.
Play as a classic roguelike  with permadeath (and noreload) or explore the world through various characters...
Its new, its fun. You can use it or not.

End of post.
