I could load a last saved run?! Maybe there's a save file forgotten in the build? :)
Also, after loading that save, i got killed by some sort of wraith. Then went to the Help and got the report panel stuck in the background. https://imgur.com/a/TfkK5
Also, a few things i'd like to have in-game : quick shortcuts info during the actual play. I kept forgetting what were the keys and it's mildly annoying to go to Main Menu to check the help.
After pressing Esc and getting the message "Press Esc again to quit" I don't know how to dismiss this. Pressing esc again even after making a few moves will quit the game.
Any eta for settings ? like sound volume and window size.
I love the art style and overall feeling so far. The ux is the only thing that's mildly annoying.

Hi mboog12!

There's a default one there at level 1. Not really forgotten just there in case people try and press the button.

Then went to the Help and got the report panel stuck in the background. https://imgur.com/a/TfkK5
Added it to my todo list! There should be a Beta dropping in tomorrow with the fix for this and if it's confirmed as OK I'll push it to the public repo. First patches will drop tomorrow/saturday.

Also, a few things i'd like to have in-game : quick access to the key during play. I kept forgetting what were the keys and it's mildly annoying to go to Main Menu to check the help.
Understood! Does the "?" key sound good? It will send messages to your log with the keys :)

After pressing Esc and getting the message "Press Esc again to quit" I don't know how to dismiss this. Pressing esc again even after making a few moves will quit the game.

Yes, people have complained about ESC. Will do a fix soon enough with a Prompt. Settings, not in the first patch, but the one after.

Thanks for the report and for the nice comment!

Picked up two keys from the same spot, is that a bug? also noticed enemies throwing things at me from outside the room I am in. Is that a bug? cause it seems odd how they can see me if the doors are all closed.

Great game btw, gratz.

P.S Would be nice if you added a mode to make it full screen. The little window is a bit jarring for me.

Hi @ymo1965: If you are on Windows, there is a fullscreen support by pressing the "+" key. It's still experimental, but it might work for you. Let me know how it goes.

Two keys in the same spot is not a bug. Sometimes enemies might drop or place them in the same location as others objects. The throwing things at you from another room might be indeed a bug. Was it a priest that hit you from another room?

Thanks!

Is Reaper's Scythe meant to have 0 multiplier? It's a weapon, but is useless as a weapon...
Zapa  [developer] 3 Nov, 2017 @ 10:19am 
@Adoru: yes, more or less. It's supposed to be used by the Reaper and thrown at the player. The player can use it to deal damage by throwing it, or benefit from it's HP Regen ability (10 HP / turn IIRC). Is this not the case?

Small self-bug report: Polymorph-ing the 5th boss crashes the game!
Adoru 3 Nov, 2017 @ 6:20pm 
Yes, that works exactly as you described, thank you for clarification.
By the way, I've found it in a crate at 9th level. Is it supposed to be there?

Hello, I picked this up today because I love crawlers like this and it was on sale but I immediately ran into some pretty bad issues.

1) The save game function does not work. I played a good chunk of level 1 and wanted to save and exit. I looked for a game save command and didn't see one. I assumed exiting the game would autosave but it does not. When I start the game again all progress is lost.

2) You can't change equipment. I started as a berserker and equipped the default axe and leather. I then picked up another axe I found. I selected it and hit 'space' but it does not unequip my old axe and equip the new one. instead I get a message that I already have a weapon equipped. Surely this is pretty basic gameplay. There must be a way to change your equipment but if it's there I can't find it. The help screen doesn't help in this case.

3) There's no way to view the statistics of the items you have equipped. You can only see those when it's in your inventory and not equipped. There does not appear to be a way to unequip items so you can view their stats so you're stuck.

Overall, it's been pretty frustrating so far.

Hi coldsteel, I'm on a mobile device right now so I'll be a bit short until I get home. The game saves when you reach a new tower level. When you die the save is deleted (you can deactivate perma death from the options menu).

2. You can, but you have to move the cursor to the equipment tab. Use a and d for navigation in the menus.

3. If you move the cursor to the equipment tab you will view the statistics.

I also take it your playing in classic Mode. Tomorrow I'm releasing the infinite heresy update which will bring some more improvements to the interaction with the game, as well as procedural generated levels (you can switch back to the classic levels in the options menu).

Edit: you can also check out the latest version by searching to the Beta Branch on steam right now.

Let me know if you still have more problems! I'm on my way home now.

Another bug in beta: you can see the top of crates' contents above them (and on the map as well). It's not like that in the stable version.
Also, I've found, that items disappear only in Linux.

@Adoru: crates are being fixed in the next rollout (together with a Mac version). Items disappearing also happens on Windows (Rafael confirmed). Work-around is to reload your save from that level. Still investigating that one.

I am playing the beta branch with experimental fullscreen on which is working great for me btw, I used a teleporter as a beserker that i found as i spawned on floor 1 and when i took the portal all my gear my starting wpn and armour dissapeared.

Also just bought this game and have a few suggestions/annoiences over my last 20min of gamplay.

1. In the inventory screen it is really hard to tell what side the cursor is on, it shows it on bothsides but you cant tell unless you remember where its at. This leads to me unequiping gear all the time by mistake.

2. You can move while in the inventory screen, at least i noticed you can turn not sure if you can actually waste a move by accident.

3. I see its already been brought up but the ESC key thing is really annoying when you accidently quit.

4. On my first run I quit by accident and tried to reload my save and it just restarted my run, would be nice if it saved your game on exit instead on floor transistion.

5. Some monsters throw healing potions at me, not sure if its just first level or a bug that a monster would try to heal me lol.

Other than that it looks really good and overall happy with my purchase and hope I can help make this a great game.

Played a game today with the new beta and here are some things i noticed,

1. I got hit by a potion from a monster that was on the otherside of this closed door as you can see on the map. And the map also does not repersent your facing direction correctly
http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1199396918

2.Little funny how the Rock description is spelled here http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1199396832

3.Items show through boxes
http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1199396746

4. It may just be your game design choice, but would be nice if you could equip a ring and a ammy on your character
http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1199396646

5, Item stacking and weird bug within a bug lol. It showed a spell book but when i cracked the crate open it dissapeared and a two other items popped up instead. Would also be nice if when you hit "P" it would allow you to pick a item from a stack of items so you dont have to pick everything up to get a potion at the bottom of the stack. http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1199396512

6. I died in a portal with no enemies around or even a reason why i died. I just did lol. Not sure if it was poison or bleeding, if that could even happen but as you can see no reason of my death is here. I just died... a more detailed overview of your death would be nice. http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1199396373

This was all from my first real try at this, no offense but i hope you are not planning on releaseing soon because it seems like this is still in alpha phase. Keep up the great work man!

Hi everyone! I'm a bit tied up with a conference this week! Saw the bug reports and I'll have a fix for most of them in the next beta update! Thank you!
