The Android Version of Deep Dark Wrath is now available!

https://craftedcircuitry.itch.io/deep-dark-wrath#demo

With Androids having vastly different hardware and extra stuff needed by the OS, I’ve dedicated this Sticky Thread for bugs, compatibility, and other information about the Android version.

Installation from Unknown Sources

If this is your first time installing outside of Google Play, you will need to enable the option where you can Install Applications from Unknown Sources.

Android Permissions

In the Full Version of the game, the game has a function where it can back up(writing) and load up(reading) save files to and from the System’s Downloads folder for ease of access and ease of transferring to other devices or to the PC version. This feature is completely optional. The game will be asking for :

• Read and Write Capability (Android 12 and below)
• File Managing Capability (Android 13 and up | Android 12 and below)

These permissions will only be asked when you click the Bookmark Buttons on the Save Journal and are NOT NEEDED and NOT USED for regular gameplay. Denying permission will cancel the backing up and loading of backups.

No other Android permissions are needed or used. The game does not connect to the Internet. The Free Demo does not need or ask for any Android permissions.

Device Compatibility

Starting v0.7, the renderer was changed from GLES3 to GLES2 to provide greater compatibility to older Android phones and Android versions. This also means a smoother performance to more Android phones since it requires less. Here are a list of Androids tested and their performance with it:

2019

• Redmi Note 8 Pro - Stuttering at first launch, but a restart gives it smooth performance

2022

• Poco X4 Pro 5G - Smooth performance
• Google Pixel 6a - Smooth performance

2023

• Google Pixel 8 - Smooth performance
• Unihertz Jelly Star - Smooth performance

Note : These are tested by just running and playing the game normally, no rigorous testing was done.

Known Bugs

• Due to Godot 3.5.3, when being asked for Android permissions, denying them will crash the game [Known Fix is to simply restart the game]

If you have any feedback, bug reports, etc. on the game, please place it down in the Comments. Please do also add your device details such as the model name and Android version so I can pinpoint what I can do. It’ll greatly help me get the Full Version to its most perfect condition. Of course, I’ve done my best to make it as performant and bug-free as it can be but you never know if there’s something game-breaking until you get a ton more people to play it.

Thanks for the feedback! I’m glad you think it has potential. I’ll skip over the ones I’ve already done, like more vision during the Dungeon Run. I’ve also added a buffer area when enemies are about to spawn, so they don’t just spawn really close to you.

I had a Eureka moment with your preference of a button for Saving, I decided to make it a Journal with a button to press instead of the old wait. It also now has some extra information that I didn’t really know where I would’ve put before, like the Total Dungeon Runs that was just shoe-horned into the Credits. There’s also a neat little journal logging animation that plays when you save.

I still want to keep the Safe Area as is. I recently boosted Adventurer movement speed so the Safe Area should feel a little quicker. For the next times, one can also enable the Quick Access option that allows the Adventurer to teleport to the farther parts more quickly. I did also decide to add a subtle background music, but I’m still testing out the feel of it.

One of the reasons I had an alternate keyboard input for Attack and Regen Power was because of that actually, if a user only has a touch pad. It was mainly for me when I might use laptop for dev sometimes, but I left it in so people can also use it. The revamped Attack actually has a small linger to it that I’m not sure if I want to have, but I think I’m keeping it for now as it’s not super noticeable.

I’ll be updating the Demo soon.

Thanks for the feedback! I’m glad you had some fun.

Hmm, that’s such a good and simple suggestion to load the first page of the book! The book startup looks a lot better now, thanks!

What I thought for the Saving was more of a “are you confirming to save” type of thing when you stand on the Plate, and it really only saves near the last second. I think I’m gonna word it a little differently.

I added a little more vision so the Player can see a little farther, and I’ve also added a buffer area around the spawners. It’s so that the spawner will only spawn enemies when the Player is outside that buffer area. I hadn’t thought of it too much, but I understand now that it will be rough when multiple enemies can just spawn in the Player.

Thanks for the feedback! I’m glad you like the art!

Thanks for the feedback!

I was initially adamant on not changing the speed, but I’ve decided to boost it because it didn’t really impact the pace I want for this game. I’m still testing it out but I think it’s at a point where it’s not super fast, it still leaves room for Enchanted Cards and Refresh Points to boost you, while also making exploring more enjoyable.

I’m gonna run through more of the text before I update the demo and see if there’s more typos. Thanks for pointing that out. I’ve also lowered the stepping sound, I might look into lowering the frequency as well.

Thanks for the feedback! Hmm, I wasn’t able to join your stream and am waiting for the Feedback VOD but I honestly thought 30 minutes would be a lot for my game. Or its just me because I know the game intimiately xD. Anyways, I’m glad you had some fun.

I was at first adamant at keeping the movement speed, but I decided to test out faster speeds because others and some of my friends also pointed it out. I came into the conclusion that even if I did make the movement speed faster, it wouldn’t really affect the pace I want this game to have. It would simply make moment-to-moment things better for the player, like exploring and learning the Dungeon much quicker in the early parts of the game, which is the biggest thing I want the players to do well at. Making that enjoyable should help this game. So I’m testing faster speeds on the Player. I think I’ve gotten to a speed point that I’m pretty happy about, it’s not super fast that the Enchanted Cards and Refresh Points are non-existent or uncontrollable, but also not a slog.

I’ve re-worked the Attack to attack anytime you press the Attack Button, unlike before’s only Attack when an enemy is in range. Somehow I initially thought that a very lax Attack Button and Stamina was enough, but it was too easy and kinda made it redundant. So I reworked it, I also added more Stamina depletion to it.

The random Cards is kind of the idea I also want for the game. It’s kinda like the Charm System in the story/early endgame Old Monster Hunter where you just have to build with what you can get for now, only until farther down the line can you grind and more intricately prepare better. As such, as you gain a lot more Points each run when diving deeper, you have a lot more Points to try and get the Cards you want to build up for. That’s kinda the progression I want to go for.

I’m looking into adding better ways to quickly communicate what each Card does. I’ve added some descriptive tooltips for the Stats in the Pause Screen, but for now it’s mostly via the Enchanted Card book beside the Inventory Bag or the Enchanted Card book at the Compendium. Normally, Cards will disappear once you do a Dungeon Run, Permanent Cards or other Cards deemed Permanent are ones that don’t disappear. You only get to slot 1 Permanent Card out of the 3 Active Slots.

Thanks for pointing out the sound issues, I’ve re-balanced the audio properly(comparing to MHW at least), it should be more audible now.

Again, thanks for the feedback! I will update the Demo soon enough.

Thanks for the feedback! I’m happy that you loved it!

There is a free demo near the bottom above the Dev Logs, the game isn’t complete yet.

Thanks for the feedback!

I’m working on re-balancing those Cards and those combat aspects so it doesn’t make you untouchable. Thank you for pointing that out!
