Thanks for playing!

Collision stuff is getting worked on and likely collision will be turned off, sword attack is also getting a buff with more range.

The void cube lad does indeed kill when you get the close, this does not happen on your very run however, only from the 2nd onward.

Thank you for playing!

Very good pointers here i'l make note of them!

descriptions for skills are the most requested and will definitely be added

When a boss chest spawns a random enemy gets a key and killing that enemy will net you the key.

The music does not loop, it's 2 tracks playing after one another

This was an april fools joke game that wanted a bit of love an attention, this will not be a minigame in the mane game as i already have dungeon delving minigame that will act very different!

Thank you for trying it out! Don't forget this is was an april fools joke game and does not have the amount of time put into it as my main project (and likely never will)

Aside you have valid points, most of which are going to be addressed, thank you again for putting the time and effort into stress testing, valuable info has been noted down.

Thank you, this is super valuable information.

Gameplay wise everything you're suggesting is likely already on the list to happen.

I will look into the cpu bottleneck,  i knew there was something eating up performance but i coudn't find out what, i will look into the information your provided, thanks a bunch!

I'm certain you will figure it out!

>Is the jump really that powerful

An ability that allows you to ignore all the damage for a short while is indeed powerful and should be used to get out situations that would cause death, you generally want to stay away from enemies and try not got get surrounded.

All abilities have upgrades and information for each skill is on the list to be added!

valid points!

the enemies with "smart" movement are getting deleted.

The shield will block one instance of damage but the immunity window for taking damage again is lower, making it higher felt like the game was too easy

Text for skills is the most requested and that will definitely happen!

Most skills have get reduced cooldowns (aside from the main attack, which gets attack speed and aoe)
The upgrades generally minor due the limited selection of skills available at this moment, so it's easier to get 10 or more upgrades into a single skill, making them already very powerful, it is advised to focus on a few select ones and not a large array of different ones.

very good suggestion on the jump, i will add full air control during the jump.

Health regen is indeed weak atm.

The chest (when opened) gives you a free level, an extra re-roll for skills and bunch of points.

Optimisation is on the way! 

Thank you for playing~

"i'm not quite yet sure how to tackle it"

I would just make the mouse pointer ignore the enemies instead of selecting them for attacking if  the setting is enabled (holding down the mouse button to walk should automatically do this if you want to make a quick escape) and allow pathfinding to do it's course finding the closest non obstructed navigable point in the radius, though unity isn't my strong suit.

Getting more used to the combat, a lot of improvements over the last i played, along with fantastic world building and great characters. 

Keep it up!

Not videogames.

Great stuff all around!

Some pointers-

-Not having an option to move without attacking. It's a small thing but it would be nice to be able to move past enemies without being stopped to attack when at range~

-The witches could use a sound when they cast fireballs, so you can prepare to move when cast from off screen (detrimental in iron man/despair mode)

-The 2 hander weapon animations seem very slow compared to one handers so much so that the trade-off  for higher damage is not worth it, you nearly guaranteed to get hit during a swing of a 2 handed weapon while the one hand weapons are so fast you can nearly always win a trade without taking damage at all making it pointless ever use a 2 handed weapon instead of sword and board.

Other than that a button to highlight intractable objects would be a nice QoL addition.

Encountered no problems or bugs,  keep up the good work!

• Why are there two button like icons during gameplay? I feel like they're clickable but there's no mouse cursor.

More like indicators, one has the jump cooldown timer and the other opens up to show your skills with tab

• Upgrades need some kind of text explaining them. The icons are intuitive enough but it would be helpful.

most people request this, will add it

• The ice bolt ability kept flying over enemies to some random spot with no one nearby. Seemed utterly useless.

It targets a random enemy and lodges itself into their models, sometimes if enemies move away or they are smaller it can miss. Better against larger groups or bosses!

• Not sure if it was intended, but I accidentally ended a run right at the start by walking into the shadow dude

He doesn't like to be bothered really

that's odd, the menus should have controller support, working as intended on my generic xbox controller. will look into this

Thank you for the feedback!
"-If you walk into Monsieur Void at the start he just snatches you and the game ends. Ruined my first run in seconds" 

This is quite the intended result! Don't bother him too much.

"-Please have mercy on my CPU :("

 i am definitely trying!

"-Are there supposed to be keys in the game? The chest wouldn't open without one but I never managed to see one (maybe a skill issue on my part)"

A key will spawn on an enemy, you just have to grab it!

I will definitely make note of the other points too! This isn't going to be a super big game.

Great feedback! The most pressing concern is perhaps the performance, it's quit difficult to gauge this with my current setup but i have been meaning to acquire 1 or 2 extra setups of varying power to test stuff on.

thanks!

cute!

You can suggest if you like! Maybe we'll use it later.

Only the demo for now. The game is still in development!

its up, come on in!

Click here to find out how!

If you're getting any kind of error message or anything please take a screenshot of it, and maybe upload it here? (be careful to crop out any personal info if any is in the screengrab)

I am probably going to make a discord soon so that I can track these issues and stuff a little more closely after the update that's coming soon.

<3

it should work on windows 10...could you show me what's happening when you try to run it?

I know some integrated graphics chipsets on notebooks don't work so well with a lot of games/shaders, but I'd like to try and pinpoint the issue.

its very touching to see people like yark so much! <3

Fantastic world building and an interesting but still familiar take on turn based combat.

Everything was easy and clear to read and understand.

While slow paced battles are fine, maybe an option to speed things up, as well as an autobattle mode in the vain of others where it would copy your previous decisions in case of an easy encounter. A lot of time i spend repeating the same actions for multiple battles without much variation, this is fine for adding fodder battles but make them less tenuous.

While i love the character designs overall presentation the overly saturated DOS visual design isn't quite appealing to me personally but that's a minor gripe.

Text could be a bit faster and sound mixing a bit better but no problems, Looking forward to more.

What kind of notebook are you using? Currently, the demo is only working properly on windows 10 or later PC's.

yes! the version we are crowdfunding right now will be for the release of the steam version. I am planning on releasing it on early access at first once its a little farther along.

Yeah sorry! Right now I can only figure out how to make Unreal 5 work with windows 10. I am working on it though!

Thank you for the insight! Though pre-release might be a bit much, this is very much an alpha and i will take this advice to heart, a lot of things are subject to change and improvement!

New BIG update coming soon (I hope!)

Also, join our thieves guild if you want to support the developer and maybe get a physical copy of the game!

I get a lot of mixed reactions with the sack mechanic, lots of people like it it lots of people do not.  I don't think i'l change it too much but i'l definitely try to make it more intuitive.

My apologies fellow dev, il look a bit deeper into potential solutions.

The official unreal engine reply is

"The oldest version of windows officially supported is Windows 7 service pack 1. Unfortunately with this being the case, we will not be able to provide further support with this issue. Thank you for your time and information

My apologies""

This was for ue4.27

I'm going to assume this being ue5 game won't support w7 either any more.

I do not think i will be able to help unless you want me to package the project for linux as well?

Thank you for playing! 

The jank is much and bugs are many indeed, but i assure you most of these are being worked on. I admire the patience!!

Yeah that was the idea! Though the guards will get a bit smarter and you will need to look out my idea was more akin to thief, where you solve puzzles going through the level while thief has more of an immersive sim vibe to it i wanted to take a more cartoony approach hence why the adventure and puzzles take a a bit more precedence then the stealth mechanic . I did design it so backtracking is generally minimal and when using the sack you could already have the quest items needed for the rogue with you so no backtracking necessary at all.

Further levels will have more mechanics, like disguises, staying in the light and lighting up areas etc. Plans are there once the core mechanics are polished and working.

Thats quite a bit of stuff!The majority of these issues have been fixed already but are not pushed through juuust yet. 

Yes only one item, the sack is to make it so you don't have to make multiple trips several times as you can store as much as you want in it. 

This isn't really explained very well just yet but putting other items on the button also opens it (you can also exit through the big open gate in the big round room)

I might look into moving the camera further away though. All stealth game are inherently puzzle games at it's core! The path you take is generally the solution to the level (puzzle)

I'm glad to hear that! 

That's some valuable feedback, i do not plan on making much more major changes to the camera but rather the design of the level to make the camera work a bit better, i felt having the camera lower takes away from the fact you're playing a small creature.
I can't quite tell from the feedback but there is zoomed camera that does put the camera at eye level allowing you to scout rooms beforehand.

I wanted to craft a game where you are not an experienced master of stealth, mishaps will happen you WILL get chased, that is exactly why the guards are very lenient with their catching, you will most likely get out of sticky situations even after being spotted BUT! I do want player who want to try be able to ghost it and that will require some level design and guard placement adjustments but getting spotted will never have a negative impact on your score, its all about that treasure!

Wack it with a knife or the convenient fallen torch! If those were in the bag then the slime owns all of that now!
