itch.io

thank you for the feedback and kind words, i'll keep note of that :)

yeah! development has been slow, but it's coming along

i'm glad you all enjoyed it! it was a super pleasant surprise seeing a group like that out of nowhere :) i hope you can play again soon

oh this absolutely rocks, thank you so much for taking your time documenting this!!

i might just swap out the intelligence scaling from the pincer punchers with attack instead and change takedown to scale with attack. i still believe in hybrid builds as long as it doesn't feel like more than half of your skills are useless, which was the problem with only takedown scaling with something other than attack.. with this sort of change people will have the option to still do crazy stuff with flurry strikes while being able to take just a few more hits if they wanted to

as time goes on and more skills and other tools get added i'm hoping that sketchbook will open up with more unique builds that feel like they work properly even if it's something like a meme build, because i just think it's silly and fun

hi! the password reset functionality is currently having issues.. if you want to make a new character i can bring you up to speed with some instant levels, just let me know who you are in-game

hi! the first one is for future content but actually should be blocked off for now, and the second one is a sort of temporary fix for things like enemies crowding the spawn area until i figure out a more permanent method. thanks for catching this stuff and reporting it!!

KNOWN ISSUES (usually engine-related)

• Enemies will camp around exits if they were targeting a player who just left. Let me know if there are any exits that can get blocked up really badly.
• Projectile length may look mildly inconsistent but it's purely a visual bug.
• Sounds will sometimes play twice.

I just got dumped into this, where do I even go?

Explore a bit! Interact with NPCs and exchange knowledge with players. There is no "correct" path in this game.

What's the age rating for this game exactly?

17 and older. 

Is there world PVP?

No, but there is an arena if you wish to fight with players.

Some spells aren't working!

There's an odd glitch with the engine where enemy info boxes cause some projectile spells to stop working. Press ESC a few times to ensure they're all closed then try again. This will hopefully be fixed soon.

Does this game have premium currency or some kind of pay to win structure?

It's totally free. I may add some donation benefits later in hopes of funding server costs but they'll be purely cosmetic.

I ran into a bug! Where do I report it?

Post it in the Bug Report Thread. Be sure to check the known bugs section before reporting!

Is this game safe to stream on sites like Twitch?

At the moment, no. There is no profanity filter.

Can I help out with the game?

I strongly prefer the help of close friends, but I may accept things like volunteer cosmetic sprites in the future.

Hi! I'm making this for anyone who might be struggling and could use some guidance to things like upgrades and some general useful things

HEALTH UPGRADES

At home in the kitchen

In the rightmost hut in the junkyard and through the crayon door

Use the crowbar from one of the bosses to unlock the shack for two more health upgrades

East wing of the shack

West wing (after an event is completed)

The last two health upgrades can be purchased

DAMAGE UPGRADES

End of the first boss arena

West edge of the bridge after you chase the enemy off by:

• Holding the dog or helmet out
• Killing it with piercing damage (requires good timing

The last attack upgrade can be purchased

STAMINA UPGRADE

Complete the forest event and pick the upgrade up before warping out

WEAPONS

The baseball bat is in the leftmost hut in the junkyard

The axe is past this point in a stump

USEFUL TIPS

Exhaust dialogue with NPCs, they can give you useful hints and sometimes even unlock new things

There are a number of solutions to direct threats, even if they seem impossible

happy halloweenie lol

comments like this mean the world to me, thank you..

awesome!! it's cool seeing you gradually adjust to the mechanics again

regarding the controls issue, there's gamepad support if the current keyboard controls are too odd, but remappable controls are definitely on the way soon. with hard mode i initially designed it to challenge speedrunners in my discord server so it may be a bit overkill, but it's cool that you appreciated it nonetheless!

all of that being said, i'm very happy you enjoyed the game. thank you for leaving such a nice comment!

i'm glad ya like it! more updates will come soon

will do!

thank you for recording! i'm happy you enjoyed it despite its missing features

thank you! i have a lot more busts planned so hopefully that'll make the game feel more expressive

i love that kind of art style with cute, cartoony characters against scary realistic things so this is nice to hear, thank you!

thank you for recording it, it helps me learn a lot!

you completed the main objectives i think. the only thing i can think of is discovering the rest of the dialogue and picking up the cake, which i did a bad job of explaining in the game, lol

gotcha, i'll let you know!

WOW that comment is super cool to hear, i'm ecstatic that my game reached someone in that way! i was thinking about uploading the soundtrack to a music site or including it as a small paid thing if people wanted to support the project since it's going to stay free for a long time

i'm super happy you enjoyed it! yume 2kki and .flow don't have any combat or dialogue, but the general feel is pretty similar so I'd still recommend them. i'll definitely be working on more updates so stay tuned, and thank you for the donation!

thank you so much for the feedback, and i'm happy you liked the game! i'll definitely try to make it so it isn't as easy to repeat conversations cause that sounds a little frustrating i can imagine lol. also i'll see how to get the game on the itch.io application
