Feedback Wanted
Early access is a great oppertunity to for you to give us feedback and steer up the development.
  • Looking past how far the game is from finished, what do you think of the general direction of the game? Are there any big changes you would like to see?
  • List the three things that you dislike most about the game, and three that you enjoyed the most.
  • Is there anything that got you confused or stuck?
  • Is there something that is hard to see?
  • If you play splitscreen co-op, was there any issue to see what was going on?
  • What buttons would you prefer to use on the keyboard?
  • How long time could you play before the game felt to repetetive?
  • Is the ability to build with the blocks important to you?
  • Do you think the jumping is to floaty?
  • What is your favorite RPG class? (like mage, barbarian and thief)
  • What is your favorite animal for riding or as a pet?
  • Do you prefer playing the game in First Person?
  • I am also curious of your age, and if you played with someone younger. I understand if you don't want to answer.
  • How well does the game run on your PC? What kind of PC are you running on (an office laptop, a gaming laptop, an office stationary, a gaming stationary)? Bring up the resolution and frame rate and see where the game starts getting frame rate issues. You can change settings in the pause menu. Press 5-key to see performance, you get a red square if the game starts running slow, the "r" is the time it takes to render one frame, "u" is the time one update takes - let me know those numbers please.

A few things to have in mind as a tester
  • Please take a look at the "Known bugs and issues" post, before porting bug reports (So you don't waste your time).
  • Using cheats will ruin the pacing of the game, if you wanna report on difficulty and time spent on a level - don't use cheats. Otherwise, have fun with them :)
  • We read all posts, but wont have time to answer all. We are just two persons, and every minute spent on communication is a minute lost from developing cool monsters and weapons.

-Looking past how far the game is from finished, what do you think of the general direction of the game? Are there any big changes you would like to see?

I love the whole idea of the game in general. there arent many games out there that bring fantasy & RPG elements but keep little to no story, and arent some turn based RPGmaker crap. I wanted to make a game allmost exactly like this since i was still in grade school. i even still have entire plans on said game, written out in sloppy, bad writing in a notebook.
so far there are no changes to the game that i want made.
i seriously cannot wait until the game is fully released.



-List the three things that you dislike most about the game, and three that you enjoyed the most.

oh deffinatly the jumping puzzles.i hate them. i know they arent pernamently in the game, and only serve as a challenge for gate keys, but i HATE them. they really dont fit at all into the current game, but they DO serve one good prupose. we have a jump button for a reason, and so far, the jump puzzle is the only reason to use it.

flying enemies are nearly impossible for barbarians to kill, not to say for you guys to change the 'Downward hammer smash' because that thing is AWESOME, but atleast give the barbarian something to kill those pesky flying monsters with

and not really a dislike, but i think the game can deversify in its 'regions'. a winter area, desert area & forest is nice, but there are so many other possiblities. water, lava, graveyards, spooky castles, spider dens, fall (as in the season) areas, beaches etc...



as for the likes? i personally love everything so far in the game. the ranges of creature types, charecter customization, the whole 'do what you want' adventure... its all great



-Is there anything that got you confused or stuck?

other than the problem where, when you respawn near the gates & pop up on a mountain somewhere, i usually accidentally go back to the 'hub' portal, rather than to the next gate or the castle


-Is there something that is hard to see?

nope

-If you play splitscreen co-op, was there any issue to see what was going on?

THERES CO-OP IN THIS?!


-What buttons would you prefer to use on the keyboard?

WASD for movement, 12345+ for items or special moves, E for 'pickup', Q for 'quick heal' (pie & apples) mouse for camera control, and mouse triggers for melee & quick special ability. so basically everything you guys have so far, but make E the 'pickup' function and Q for quick heal option. i hate clicking backspace.and enter, as i have to move my hand off WASD or my mouse to do so.


-How long time could you play before the game felt to repetetive?

i can play this for hours on end & not have it feel repetetive in any way


-Is the ability to build with the blocks important to you?

its more of a side thing really. its hard to control & takes too long to build anything due to manually changing the color each time you want something different. the game really doesnt need it.


-Do you think the jumping is to floaty?

i try not to jump all that much, since its only required for the insanely stupid jump puzzles so far. but no, its not floaty, but it is a pain in the rear when the platfrom your trying to jump on is too small. i usually jump right over it.

but speaking about jumping, I REALLY dont think archer should be the only one who has such 'dextarity' and whatnot. if you are going to have jumping puzzles, OF SOME KIND, in the game when its fully released, dont force players to choose a different class they dont want to play as, just so they can complete this puzzle. ive been playing as barbarian the entire time, and i even switch back to him after i complete each jumping puzzle, just because i am more suited to his play style than the other 2 clases



-What is your favorite RPG class? (like mage, barbarian and thief)

barbarian, viking, bandit... basically whoever is the guy who has the largest beard, axe & muscles. also it doesnt hurt if he has a awesome helmet or animal like pelt on his head. who can go wrong with a bear head?


-What is your favorite animal for riding or as a pet?

this is going to be a feature? wow...allright, well, if it does, friendly varients of monsters in the game, such as boars, scorpions, orcs...ill have any of those as a pet really...as for riding? pig, boar, horse or turtle. why turtle? because it woul be funny as all hell. normal movement would be quicker than the turtle, but you still have the option to ride that bugger...


-Do you prefer playing the game in First Person?

i saw this was an option in the game trailer, but i never know how to turn it on...


-I am also curious of your age, and if you played with someone younger. I understand if you don't want to answer.

22, and i play with kids on games all the time. but i dont really like doing so, even if it is a cousin or nephew/neice. they are usually too younge to understand how to play fully, and ask me alot of questions, usually too much...but this game would be simple and easy enough for them to play, i suppose

-How well does the game run on your PC?

it runs very well, and it only started to run less when there was over 100+ creatures around my player charecter. but that was only a fluke accident. my current pc is a notebook, but one of the better ones. i would call it a gaming pc, but not really. it hasnt failed me yet to run ANY of the current games i own, and i play cell-shaded & 3D games on here all the time.

Please let us disable controllers in game. I have a 360 controller that I use mostly for racing games but for most others I prefer KB/M. I fired up Lootfest to see how it's progressing but didn't get past the first screen because with a controller connected the keyboard does not respond except to bring up the menu.

That is already on my todo-list, for now you have to pull out the controller
