Alright, I played for a few hours and have a bit of feedback for you. First of all, the game works well on the specs I listed above. It *might* be a bit laggy when lots of loot is on the screen, but other than that the game ran fine and didn't make the computer so hot it felt like it was going to melt.
Secondly, do you plan on implementing a targeting system in the future? As it stands, it seems like ranged characters auto-select a target which isn't the best way for them to be played. Perhaps I missed an option, but I'd like for the ranger/mage to be able to blast away at full health targets instead of wasting turns on stuff the thief and knight have already softened up.
Overall, I've really enjoyed my experience with the game so far, just heading into the third level. I'm going to poke around with it some more this weekend and get feedback from my friend to see what she thinks as well.
Cheers!

Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed the game so far. Regarding targeting, once you start a ranged attacked you can use the arrow keys to change target. They must be in Line of Sight. It's interesting to know that it lagged when there was lots of loot on screen, I'll see if there's any particular code associated with that. Thanks again! |

Hey Andy,
How do you get new builds when they're released after you've purchased? I don't see a login that keeps track of that or anything.

Hey! Players are notified of new builds via email. The download link remains the same as in your first email, and I can resend the link if you've lost it. I haven't sent out any updated builds in a while actually, which I'm embarrassed about and I'm sorry for. Some personal stuff came up during late November and December which made it difficult to work, but I'm back on track now with the fresh new year  Hopefully all these experiences in development (good and bad) will make a helpful post-mortem once the project is done. |

Hmm, how do you go from fullscreen to winmode?
January, she doesn't have a name for her bowskill, my version just says "(Core ability, can't be changed)", on the others it says "SKILL (Core ability, can't be changed)".

Thanks for the tip, I'll fix that. Cheers! |

I would really like a speed-up button, or something to speed the game up when the computer is doing his turns. I'm a very impatient guy, that's why I usually stay away from turn based roguelikes, even if I really dig the concept and love rpgs. =)

That's a good idea that I'll hopefully implement at some stage. It was in early versions of the game but it had bugs. |

Day 378
* Imported new tiles
* Worked on building a forest level
* Bugfixes on level editor
A few problems in the the tileset made it difficult to build the maps I wanted. Looking into those issues tomorrow.
I'm also hosting a Pomodoro jam session at my house for myself and a couple of other developers. So I've got high hopes for productivity.

What other level themes are you planning on? There are currently: * Cave (what's implemented) - there's lava tiles too which I haven't used in a level yet. * Forest * Ancient Egyptian Tomb * Castle (which uses some cave tiles) Those tilesets are all available right now, but I haven't built levels for them yet. They'll be in the level editor for people to muck around with, but I'm not sure what's possible (there could be a few missing tiles, which we'll fix up when we find them!). If there's time/room/resources/money I'd probably also like to make an "ice cave" tileset and maybe a small special tileset for the final boss (whoever that is!) |
