I think having the gold count just over the player name is a better solution (the player doesn't need to search for his "gold tab" in a different place), but I agree with Seiseki that the font could be smaller.
So #2 for me too.

Any tips for getting a wired xbox 360 controller with default Microsoft drivers working? The back (map) and start (menu) buttons work while in-game but no other buttons work and I can't rebind anything to the controller.

Strange, it works perfectly for me, just remember to plug the controller before launching the game.

I have it plugged in at all times.. it works fine in other games and like I said the small back and start buttons in the center of the controller work correctly in the game just nothing else.

Hi,

Your game has been featured on a french website, along with some other indie games : http://www.gamekult.com/video/starsector-gk-live-inde-2-starsector-3050124085v.html

And the same video but with a more convenient video player :


it starts at around 16:28. And yes, this guys are actually journalists, even if they are very casuals in this live ^^

I like it clean but would be cool to make appear the info in the #2 mode by pressing TAB or something.
Like, they slide from off-screen with one key press and return with another... or just show when holding TAB.

That's exactly what it does.

I haven't tried it yet, but great

Just gave it a quick test.. the graphics are really nice, and the lighting looks better in motion than in the screenshots. I think the wall graphics suffer from a lack of contast though - not on the individual brick level, but the fact that there are no areas of darker - less contrast in the tiles used. Does that make sense?

I think the walking animation (I only tried the palladin) could do with another frame or two.

At the moment I'd like to see different kind of enemies and attack patterns, it's not too interesting at the moment after the first 5 minutes. You know about this though.

You know all you have to do is right click on the image and save it... I dunno how mediafire works or anything but this is much easier.

The first link is the exe the second one is the picture of what it will look like im not that dumb to give a link to a picture download when you can like you said "save it"

[FreshSheet]

yea too bad I saved the picture then turned it into an icon in about 4 seconds sooo.... If you were trying to sell it or whatever you failed. If not then it's just an easier way to get it. Wasn't about to do whatever junk mediafire wanted me to do

[eviltaco]

i can;t wait

I know its easy but i made it so noone would have to do it themselves.And im not selling anything theres no surveys and shi* its just a download i can add it where ever you whant i can make it dropbox if you insist...

Ps: i made the exe in like 10 minutes with the needed tools so if you don't whant it use a shortcut and just change its picture to the icon i made ....

This looks fantastic! But I can't seem to find the OSX download link? You mention you have a port available.

I need to adjust my Xbox controller's deadzone. Neither of the ranged characters shoot straight in front of them when there's no input from the left thumb-stick.

I played briefly with my girlfriend last night after having a few drinks. We enjoyed it but the angled shooting made the game feel a little disorienting while I was tipsy and she doesn't want to play anything but Civ4. We generated a error.txt at some point but I can't for the life of me remember how or when. Hope it's not totally useless out of context.

From your error report I'd say you got it right as you died and tried to move at just the right time. Spring any recollections?

Yes that sounds entirely likely. I played for a while last night and enjoyed the game very much. I would have liked a little more variety in baddies for such a long level, though.

Up till now only a few of the games I've played with my Xbox gamepad have had issues with the joysticks being overly sensitive and these always had a way to adjust it in game. Turns out Microsoft never bothered with software to setup the controller which means I'll either have to install 3rd party software for that purpose or I'll adapt to having to move to shoot straight. I'll probably just adapt.

First, I would like to tell everyone, that we are at place 19 at GL now. It's slower now, both because we are getting less votes and also, the items at this stage requires a lot more points to get past.

And, this is a spoiler of course, but if anyone would like to see the entire Floor 6, it can be viewed here:

http://www.zfight.com/misc/images/hammerwatch/2013/march/floor_6.png (it's pretty big)
It's missing a few secrets and so, but otherwise, pretty done.

Yea, that does make sense. In our prototype, I had more bricks with darker colors, more variation, I don't know when they disappeared...

This looks fantastic! But I can't seem to find the OSX download link? You mention you have a port available.

Hmm, I don't remember ever mention that? =)
People currently play it on mac using something called "mono"(?)

@FreshSheet and oyog, Myran will look into those errors, thanks for posting them.

I need to adjust my Xbox controller's deadzone. Neither of the ranged characters shoot straight in front of them when there's no input from the left thumb-stick.

I've run into this problem recently even with the computer controls. There's been several times where I'll start a game, and the ranger in our party is useless, because he won't shoot in a straight line. He just sort of wings arrows out in front of him willy nilly, which, on a character that doesn't have AOE or anything, is pretty devastating.

Any progress on the Warlock? I'm drooling thinking about having another character option in this already god-sent-game!

I've gotta say, When I first looked into the game, I thought it really needed to be procedurally generated, I thought that playing the same thing twice would bring my enjoyment down a lot. Nowadays, I really like your idea of possibly having pockets of procedural generation--- Cause these levels are great. You really did a bang up job on them.
