I'm new to shaders so it'll just require some experimentation. After some looking on the GMS forums I found this tutorial, if anyone is interested: https://forum.gamemaker.io/index.php?threads/toon-and-outline-shaders.73138/

And hey Gizmo, thanks a lot for making these tools dude. Super intuitive and helping me learn 3D immensely. I'm gonna take a crack at your 3seqsD joint next

I just watched Gizmo's video on outline shaders with sprite stacking, but the terrain I want to outline is just made of polygons in the static buffer. Is there a clever way to achieve the outline effect using this method?  

Let's just say I'm very inspired by cyberpunk stylings, and stuff like Caves of Qud's mutant fantasy. By the end of a run, you're character will look very different than at the start :)

I appreciate the feedback Jacob. Instant movement is an option I've been considering, thanks for bringing it up. Going on the feature list for sure!

Very cool gameplay concept, I can see it being a fun bullet hell if the kinks are worked out. One thing I would suggest is adding more info about how the ad mechanic works in the game description, as I was initially confused as to what placing an ad does, and that's the coolest part of the game. Good job guys!  

Always appreciate it Bag. I'm glad you knew where I was coming from : )

You're very talented, I love the your portfolio. I have a science-fantasy project I'd like some world-flavored ambient music for. If that sounds like something you like to do you can Discord me @ Requinnzious

Thanks for bringing this up. It's something I would not have noticed otherwise, but to be honest it makes a world of difference.
I'm no Unreal dev, and I haven't played Desmond's Castle (yet). Just wanted to say you're a legend for not only giving tempered feedback, but guiding Nth brnd through the issue without snark and even giving them a project file. Talk about a good Samaritan!

I really do appreciate the response and I completely understand where you're coming from, but the comment was directed toward me and I was not offended by it. In fact, this is criticism I was already willing to take after some of my friends had playtested the game and were confused by the controls. This individual likely changed their binds after posting the comment and moved on, but that was still a negative gaming experience for them, and one that they helped other people avoid by commenting. If I hadn't done playtesting, this comment may have been my only clue that the controls were awkward/ inconsistent at times. 

They may have been a little annoyed, but I didn't read the comment as hostile or hateful. I got thick skin! I don't need sugar coated criticism, OC's tone was fine.

Thank you btw. You're clearly very passionate about the game/ indie development. Have a good one

That's very flattering, I'll try my best!

This is super cool dude. Will probably make something with this in the near future, I'll lyk

They're kind of right, considering at the time of release the controls weren't even on the page lol. At the end of the day it was a game they wanted to play <3

Sorry for the late reply, but yes that sounds great! I'm glad you enjoyed the game; I need to take another crack at the concept some day

Problem solved! Thanks for posting your save, and again for the bug report. Nice party btw. There'll be a patch going up soon where you can (finally) complete your run. Also new is MP restorative items, which I sadly neglected to implement. I also added a high score board to the title screen so you can keep track of your clears. (If your curious, the score is based on your average party level and Meseta accrued)

Are you in the 7DRL Discord? Maybe you can DM me your save file, there are occasional mismatches in save data from me trying to redo my json formatting in the 11th hour lol

Your art is really nice! I recently had a go at making a blobber, maybe I could join you?

Oof, sorry about that Centauer mishap on floor 16. There's a patch out now which fixes it, and should also open the door for you since you already killed the boss (let me know if it doesn't). Sucks to get so close to clearing only for a bug like that to happen.

I'll also think about adding shortcuts, or at the very least rest stops/ shops in the dungeon/ maybe a hard-to-get dungeon exit item. 

As for the skipping animations  bit, I could certainly do something like that for the movement with ease. Implementing such a feature in the battle system, however, would be a bit more problematic. I'll look into it.

Thanks for the feedback!

And I've love to do the Dungeon Crawler Jam but I'm unsure if I could get all the dungeon screens animated and whatnot to my liking. All of Phantasy Star's assets are online and the rendering logic for the dungeon view was well documented, so all the heavy lifting of figuring out perspective, animations and etc was pretty much done for me. Maybe if you know an artist ; )

This blog post is 4 years old and I have no idea what Arcbond is, but I just wanted to say; I've been wracking my brain for days on how to cleanly implement auras into my Action RPG, and this helped me out immensely. Now I feel like an idiot for not thinking of something so simple lmao, I even already have buff/debuff constructors with duration variables and everything, so I won't even have to do much to get Auras working. Thanks a bunch!
