Hello, I'm having great fun with your creation and I'm grateful for the Linux port, especially since I'm no Steam (nor Discord) user and I'm not planning to become one.
I'd just need two clues:
1/ in the downloadable versions, have Quests above D been implemented yet?
2/ out of the Steam'n Discord realms, is there a way to offer you a large mug of coffee or any beverage of your choice to thank you for your hard work? ^^
PS: Linux Mint in its several versions has been a good companion during a few years before I switched to Debian then MX Linux (I'm not found of systemd) a decade ago. I firmly believe it's worth a try!
Hey, having plenty of fun with the current demo, but I noticed that poison seems to be kinda unbalanced. Neither physical nor magical resistance has an effect on its damage, and every time a new stack is applied the wear off timer seems to reset, meaning that you can easily get a character who otherwise deals negligible damage applying enough poison to do more than 100 dps. Combined with the survivabiliy of the refreshing escape perk, I've got a level 22 character that can solo the dark elf griffon. Not sure whether you already knew about this, just figured I'd leave a comment
If I could suggest a solution, maybe the speed that it wears off at could be increased based on how many stacks are applied? That way you can only apply as many stacks as you're able to maintain
Gear seems to have attributes applied fully randomly. So you end up with staves that have katana mastery. Wish there was some limiting of certain attributes.
Hey there, the decision for that is mostly so it opens up build variety. for instance if you're mostly using Sword Abilities but also use Dagger Abilities, you (potentially) could aim for a Sword with both Sword Mastery and Dagger Mastery on it. Also when you upgrade the Blacksmith fully you can replace a modifier with any modifier of your choice
It just made my start really frustrating when I am constantly just in garbage gear with random modifiers on it. I think I found maybe 2 pieces of gear that were matched to what the item is. I still say that if you want that kind of build with different mods you should make it after you unlock blacksmith and that gear shouldn't drop with such random modifiers. Or the weights on getting a staff with daggers should be much much lower than a staff with staff mods.
hey Krookedkon, when you click on a potion or thieves tools and get to see their description, at the top you'll see 5 slots you can switch between, click those to equip to different slots
I'm playing the linux ver and getting graphical artifacts with the attacks etc. I'm using the proprietary nvidia driver if that matters... Still playing it though because the game scratches that incremental itch!
https://files.fm/u/vxm7eugfzn Not sure if this is a bug or not: while playing the game on android, the game auto rotates. Here is a screenshot. The gameplay puts all that where the android camera is, so it's upside down. Hope the dev can fix it, as there no way to fix it in the game menu. Android game version 4.8, here's also a video to see what I'm talking about.
hi sorry this is happening, is it still rotating into landscape mode? also can you let me know which phone/tablet you're running the game on? I'd like to fix it for that resolution. hope you enjoyed the game besides that
I have a blackview tablet. Android os version 12. It does the whole auto rotate everytime I open the game. I want to keep it in landscape mode just not have it do a whole 190. I like playing game so far. That's the only bug I found so far. Will you be making a discord for the game? I'll gladly join.
As of now I'm planning on releasing the video tomorrow about this game and my opinion on this game. I enjoyed it so far despite me not really knowing what I'm doing because the gameplay does it for me, which I don't particularly like because I prefer to do things manually, specifically the fights. During the video I did mention about me wanting story to be involved in this game, mostly because that's where I am attached to this game much more further than where I'm currently am. This is a simple game though, not to complicated and easy to understand if you have played rpg type games before. Overall I'm enjoying it and I can't wait for the full release of this game. All love.
Thank you for working on a video of the game! please link it here when its up (if itch lets you post links im not sure) and I'll be sure to watch it. I can see why the game isnt everyone's cup of tea but glad you enjoyed it overall! Do you play a lot of autobattlers/idle games?
I played this a couple weeks ago. It was a lot of fun. I look forward to future developments. My only problem was that.. well... it's too short and I want more! I need like 10X more of this game. Cleared that second dungeon, did every available quest, maxed out every building, and I'm sitting there thinking, "Wait.. That's it? What's next? Where's the next dungeon? What do I do?!" The style is fantastic and definitely hits the nostalgia button for an ancient millennial like myself.
Thank you so much! Im glad you enjoyed the demo, sorry it wasnt longer lol. The full game will have 10 dungeons, 10 boss dungeons and im thinking of doing an "endless" dungeon for postgame content. hope you look forward to it and thanks for enjoying the game!
I think that Imp should have a +50% to security EXP gain, since Waykin is seemingly the highest Security skill rate, but other than that, this game is VERY good.
I like your game, but the Chinese translation seems like machine translation. It would be great if you could accept translations from community contributors or set up a community translation platform like paratranz or transfix
I played the mobile one since it's pretty goo and just picked up the desktop version since I'm over level 300 and I leveled up agility too much so I couldn't level up my armour
Starting over and seeing if I can get every skill over 100 on desktop
So I've apparently done something very wild and made my kitkin white/red mage have some insane magical power. It started when I added the Barrier Charged perk to her. She has 353 magical power before adding the perk and 23033 after adding it with only a maximum barrier of 257. It's supposed to add 25% of your barrier as magical power. It's adding 22680 magical power, which is almost 90 times the total barrier? Seems like that might be a bit of a bug, heh. Otherwise, love the game, definitely want to see how far it goes!
Whenever i pick the 5th (1st in 2nd row) character, it also picks the 2nd (1st row) character. It goes the other way around too, including 6th with 3rd and the other way around
I liked what's there so far, interested to see what the full game will be like. If I can make a suggestion for a feature, I would like to see a scrolling combat log with lines like "[Character] attacks Goblin with Spear. 17 Damage!"
It would make it a lot easier to follow what is happening in combat.
Played for 10 minutes, made a kit character. Got a helper for the dungeon, fought a bit and lost eventually. Came back, recruited a cat for a katana and added the wyrm quest, suddenly the fights don't end, endlessly repeating skills without enemies to hit and can't do anything except leave the dungeon. That was enough for me to lose interest. That's it
not sure if you're accepting bug reports but I'm a little over an hour in on Android and I'm unable to switch in a newly hired party member (4th consecutive member, wanted to switch them in place of the character in the 2nd spot). not able to add them to an empty slot even when I switch to the next page to create a new party set. other than this, which has unfortunately halted my progression, your game is seriously engaging! eager for the steam release
There's scaling problems when the resolution goes more square than 16:9.
Basically it only snaps the UI to top and bottom, so if you`re playing on a 16:10 screen, UI elements will be out of the screen. It gets worse as you go less wide.
Really enjoying the demo and looking forward to the full steam release. I appreciate the ability to add custom faces that's a wonderful touch that makes the game much more enjoyable. Will our save data carry over to future versions on steam?
Glad you enjoyed the game! Unfortunately save data wont carry over from this demo because of balancing overhauls I'll be doing. But from the Prologue Demo (releasing possibly in the summer), and on, the saves will carry over.
I have this on my PC and my phone. It's a really enjoyable game even with the small amount of content that is there at the moment. Keep up the awesome work I look forward to more.

really glad you enjoyed the game! I couldnt leave my linux bros behind after switching to Linux fulltime recently (Linux Mint is nice)
1. Quests above D are in just not in the demo.
2. I appreciate that, I love coffee! I'll have an itch.io store page when the full game comes out (soon), you could support that way!
thanks again
Thanks for your quick reply o/ Noted, you rock!

yeah poison is busted right now, looking into tweaking it a bit

yeah thats a good point, I'll remove other weapon mods from weapon items
How do I equip more than one utility? Such as a resurrection potiom AND thieves tools? Please help!
hey Krookedkon, when you click on a potion or thieves tools and get to see their description, at the top you'll see 5 slots you can switch between, click those to equip to different slots
thank you sir! Having an absolute ball!!!
Fun Game, would recommend, since I cannot play Wizardry this game is my go to for dungeon Crawls.
thanks for playing it! Im glad its your alternative to wizardry, I love the idea of them but they're too hardcore for me lol
here's the video!
thanks for covering it!

I forgot to mention the video is recorded before the 0.4.8 update!
Thank you for working on a video of the game! please link it here when its up (if itch lets you post links im not sure) and I'll be sure to watch it. I can see why the game isnt everyone's cup of tea but glad you enjoyed it overall! Do you play a lot of autobattlers/idle games?
to answer your question, yes I've played autobattlers/idle games before, not a lot anymore, but i have.
I played this a couple weeks ago. It was a lot of fun. I look forward to future developments. My only problem was that.. well... it's too short and I want more! I need like 10X more of this game.

No, thank you for your incredible work! I've got it wishlisted on Steam and I'll be keeping an eye out for the full release.
I think that Imp should have a +50% to security EXP gain, since Waykin is seemingly the highest Security skill rate, but other than that, this game is VERY good.
hmm yeah I agree with this, I'm going to rebalance all the racial bonuses for the skills soon (for next demo)
THe Dragaea title reminds me of an old PS2 JRPG I barely remember that I played when I was younger. Looks good, I'ma give it a try.
I'd love an update, what did you think of it? dont be gentle!
Ok so my PC can't run it XD but it's fine, it's a me problem. I overestimated my old 2009 notebook.
Good game. Smooth. Entertaining.
thank you! glad its smooth
I like your game, but the Chinese translation seems like machine translation. It would be great if you could accept translations from community contributors or set up a community translation platform like paratranz or transfix
Hey thanks for the interest in the game! I've never heard of paratranz or transfix but I'll look into it, thanks for letting me know!
I played the mobile one since it's pretty goo and just picked up the desktop version since I'm over level 300 and I leveled up agility too much so I couldn't level up my armour
Starting over and seeing if I can get every skill over 100 on desktop
very nice! how many hours are you at?
On the mobile version I have 43 hours and on the steam version I have 18 hours
holy moly! thats amazing!
So I've apparently done something very wild and made my kitkin white/red mage have some insane magical power. It started when I added the Barrier Charged perk to her. She has 353 magical power before adding the perk and 23033 after adding it with only a maximum barrier of 257. It's supposed to add 25% of your barrier as magical power.

yeeaah I screwed up the calculations somewhere, currently taking a look lol
Just a follow up.
Ended up going through a run on Android, left it running at work. Priest ended up like level 120 while everyone else ~30.
Nothing could kill that team after that. Also encountered the character row bug.
That all was on the build from 24 days ago.
Came back to redownload and see what happens.
Thanks for playing, how long did it take you to get to 120? (Im guessing you used heal and haste)
Please let me know if the new patch fixes your save, I have it reorder the character IDs on save load.
I deleted the APK after last time and I'm restarting, I will proceed as I did previous and get back to you on how long it takes.
v.0.4.5 (pc)
Whenever i pick the 5th (1st in 2nd row) character, it also picks the 2nd (1st row) character. It goes the other way around too, including 6th with 3rd and the other way around
thanks for letting me know I'll look into it now. btw does the newer android version work ok for you?
Just checked* problem with the text still persists, sadly
Love the game, all I have to say now is that I hope you continue updating the android version. Working my way through in-between busy life.
Im happy you like it! Its funny you mention that because I just uploaded v0.4.4, mostly bug fixes
I liked what's there so far, interested to see what the full game will be like. If I can make a suggestion for a feature, I would like to see a scrolling combat log with lines like "[Character] attacks Goblin with Spear. 17 Damage!"
It would make it a lot easier to follow what is happening in combat.
Glad you liked the game! combat log is on my mind but unsure when I''ll get to that but good idea
Played for 10 minutes, made a kit character. Got a helper for the dungeon, fought a bit and lost eventually. Came back, recruited a cat for a katana and added the wyrm quest, suddenly the fights don't end, endlessly repeating skills without enemies to hit and can't do anything except leave the dungeon. That was enough for me to lose interest. That's it
Seems to be broken on my end, i'd assume it's either from the language set in my phone, or the font i use
Yeah the android build is very experimental, but I released v0.4.3 see if that works better? if not I'll see about changing some settings around
not sure if you're accepting bug reports but I'm a little over an hour in on Android and I'm unable to switch in a newly hired party member (4th consecutive member, wanted to switch them in place of the character in the 2nd spot). not able to add them to an empty slot even when I switch to the next page to create a new party set. other than this, which has unfortunately halted my progression, your game is seriously engaging! eager for the steam release
Hello! This has been fixed now! Glad you enjoy it!
There's scaling problems when the resolution goes more square than 16:9.
Basically it only snaps the UI to top and bottom, so if you`re playing on a 16:10 screen, UI elements will be out of the screen. It gets worse as you go less wide.
Sorry about that, I was able to fix a bit of this in v0.4.3 please let me know if its better
The OK button on the character creator snaps to the bottom left corner of the screen, the rest of the UI doesn't.
I have about 40% of the left column of race buttons and on the right side my text cuts out the Bonus button and shows "Bonus sta".
After creating the character the game looks right.
In the dungeon I have my left character portrait covered by the 5 slots on the left.
So floating UI buttons are correctly snapping to the corners of the screen, but the screen itself still doesn't zoom correctly for taller displays.
v0.4.3, windows version.
Really enjoying the demo and looking forward to the full steam release. I appreciate the ability to add custom faces that's a wonderful touch that makes the game much more enjoyable. Will our save data carry over to future versions on steam?
Glad you enjoyed the game! Unfortunately save data wont carry over from this demo because of balancing overhauls I'll be doing. But from the Prologue Demo (releasing possibly in the summer), and on, the saves will carry over.
why no browser version
to be honest I cant seem to get it working but I'm currently looking for a solution
I have this on my PC and my phone. It's a really enjoyable game even with the small amount of content that is there at the moment. Keep up the awesome work I look forward to more.
Thank you im glad you enjoy it! Working really hard with new mechanics so the next demo will have a lot more to do
And 0.2.4 was good timing as version 0.2.3 had an issue where characters kept attacking but not in a battle. Updating fixed that issue.
Actually really incredible. I loved whats here so far. Not alot of content, but Very fun, and addictive gameplay.
Thank you so much glad you enjoy it!
