It seems like a pretty fascinating little system! I have one question,
What happens when an attacker doesn't have the required 2 cards to perform the attack? At the beginning stats have an avg of 5 points. Gears, trait and might add another 3~5. So if I have ~10 cards, I can attack for a max of 5 rounds, but actually it's much less, since I also have to defend..

oh dang! Thanks for the catch! grab the config off the windows version then, that should do it

Ok, do you know why those entries were missing from your config.yaml?
My guess is there could be more missing/messed up data in the config. Try putting in a fresh copy from the download?
I'm working on a big overhaul to my UI code currently, bringing it into the SDL3 era and some light refactoring; When that's done, the plan is to put in the improvements for Chronoscope. When that happens I'll also be making other additions and I'll definitely go over all the linux compatibility stuff again. It's been a lot of work and slow-going, I'll be honest! But This Year™ for sure.

Alright, my initial (maybe naive?) thought is: Did you do
sudo apt install libsdl2-image-2.6.3
?

Yea, sure! I'll pop it in the to-do list!

🙏🙏 Trying to have some updates ready soon™!

nope! seems the bug is tricky one..

hey hey, just commenting to say I put this on my to-do list! Sorry to leave you hanging! I'll get around to it soonish™

Tremendous stuff as always, Pacian!

I see you made this is Twine! Are you migrating, or just wanted to try out a different engine? How did you like working with Twine?

Ok! Thanks for that additional info.. 
Very elusive bug for me. There is a lot of complexity going on when you scroll (perhaps more than necessary? oops..) So without being able to reproduce the bug I'm really at a loss.. 
One thing that occurred to me was that maybe it had something to do with file access permissions... but I really don't know.
And again, I'm very very pleased you find it useful!

omg, quality feedback.......... is it christmas already?? hhhieheihi

1. This is possible! You can change the height and width of the window in the config file! Might be a bit fiddly, granted.. while you're there you probably want to increase the font sizes too.. I might consider some way to automate all this... maybe a global scaling factor..

2. The solution I came up with for recurring events is the "Bulker" companion app! You can use that to create notes for all your green square classes of the year at once!

3. 😊

4. Well that sounds bad! I can't reproduce it over here.. You mean like you were just scrolling around and then poof? Does it happen often? Any more details you can give are highly appreciated!

Oh, I'm very glad to hear that! Any other feedback you have, I'm all ears! Still plan to work on this thing for a long time!

Very cool!!!

Update is up!

Hi there! I've got a few updates in the oven right now, I'll build the Linux version when I'm done as well. Cheers!

Very cool stuff! I'm impressed. I've also messed around with this asset pack in the past, it's wonderful.
When I finally got into my first fight I was a little bit weirded out by the way the enemy bullets moved. It's like they're following me? Not like seeking me, but like they're stuck to my frame of reference? And I found that I just ended up in situations where there was no direction I could move to dodge, which feels "unfair". Also, the threat level said 'average', and I fought off one enemy, no problem, then the squad of four, which was a bit tougher, and then immediately afterward a second squad of four showed up and sniped me. So that didn't feel like 'average' threat...

So those were my first impressions, very cool stuff overall, I followed you on here, and I will be checking back in in the future!

This one effin rules, Grant. Is it CC BY as well?

I pretty sure some of the mega prize cards I dropped didn't register!
(Fun overall tho!!)

hiya! No more free ascii version after 1.0? The site still lists that option and re-directs here. Oh also, the blurb here still says "This is alpha version, etc..."

The other two I'm positive I've reduced pointless slowdowns significantly. TileSoup is actually the heaviest of the set. The fluid sim is pretty costly. One simple thing I can recommend is to reduce the fluid_resolution parameter in the config. Maybe increase the frame period too. frame period of 21 (~48fps) runs pretty smooth to my eyes. I had an earlier version without the fluid sim, only the noise.. maybe I'll put that back in as a mode in the config..

Update is up! Let me know what you think of the Bulk note generator!

Thank you very much!
I will definitely consider your suggestions! I already had plans for a little companion program to generate bulk events, how does that sound?
Adding images is tempting too, I'll see if I can think of a way to include them without adding too much complexity...

very cool idea!

great looking game!
I will say I had trouble keeping track of when I had bullet, vs when I had stamina, and often would get into position to use one or the other, and then click click. Also, getting hit didn't feel very noticeable. I glanced at my health at one point and half of it was gone, and I had no idea when that happened.

Maybe my peripheral vision just sucks, but maybe It'd be nice to have little pips with this information near the character!

Very neat!

echoing the feedback that it's a bit easy, that places we've been should be marked somehow, and that a mouse or keyboard shortcut for the back button would be nice.

Kudos!

Great to see you back in action, Pacian. Another delightful little world to explore. Thank you! Took me a moment to wrap my head around the bi-directional links, but they actually make for pretty interesting map topology! Great work. Cheers!

I am intrigued! It begs to be playtested, to see if the procedures flow well... Have you gotten it on the table much?

A few typos:
* When that fail[s], let the Witnesses convene
* you've come to relay the tale [of] your own slow
* six sided dice, a buncg[bunch] of them

I like it! 

One observation would be that skill checks with "equal or beat" (if I'm correct in interpreting that as "greater than or equal to") have the strange side-effect that the higher the stat, the worse the unit, which is unintuitive. That's why Fighting Fantasy -likes among others do skill checks with "roll under" stat.

If I get to put this on a table at some point, one addition I think I'd go for would be some notion of "speed" for the units, as in, how often they get to act. Also maybe some kind of flanking rule? Everybody loves flanking.
cheers!

doesn't fit good on my monitor =/

Hell yeah!!! Majorly hyped for this update!
I love to see more elemental synergies in the form of the Insight Emblems! Question: did you consider, instead of "as long as you have 1 X spell equipped", something like "For each X spell equipped", or something along those lines, to reward more specialization?
Congrats once again on the major banger you created here!

Game is gorgeous and I love the mix of mechanics.
The combat system is really rough though.. Why can you only attack from the side? Same for axing trees.. its so fiddly trying to line yourself up pixel-perfectly with the target. The controls are also unnecessarily complex: interact, pick up and drop could all be on the same key, they are contextual.

Incredible stuff.
I'm seconding the suggestion of a manual reload button, and also wanna let you know I have an issue where it buffers a bunch of inputs and then I'm stuck shooting or walking into a wall for a long time which gets me killed. Buffering inputs is good, but they need to expire after a little while and/or the queue needs to be shorter!
but yeah, big kudos!

Informações pra fazer por PIX por favor!

the AI short story is very similar to "Utopia, LOL", one of my faves from the last few years, which I'm 99% sure was written by a genuine free-range hu-mon

cool zine, am following

C + SDL2

Coming back to this game once again, and so I noticed there are no comments pointing out how F@&%ING AMAZING it is. I love this game. Thank you.

Conceito interessante!
Nas instruções en inglês ficou "Invalid" nos dois exemplos

Thanks! I'm thinking of making a couple improvements, and adding some stuff like screensaver mode, how does that sound? Suggestions are very welcome!
