Note of the outskirts - blobber by Cryptrat

I still haven't figured out what the hell is up with that.

It teleports you below (like a pit), but only if you are facing north. There is a small room below that can be bashed open as well with a very strong character. So, that's again _two_ ways of reaching treasure.

Well, that's disconcerting. I wonder what else I may have missed by entering a tile from the wrong direction.

(Also, it teleports you up, not down. You had me thinking I'd missed a whole floor!)

 

[Watser]

I'm still only on floor 3+2, this game is closer to 40 hours than the 10 advertised lol.

Indeed, it's very misleading. You are falling down into pits to find yourself on the upper level.

Yep, I'm playing it since early January and still not finished.

BTW, have you found a secret room here? Great place, eh? I especially liked that the way to it was here all along, even without the speed boots.

No I haven't! Man, I'm getting outpaced left and right.
At least none of you slowpokes have finished the game yet

 

[Watser]

Yeah I found that one, before I realized you can zoomzoom past teleporters with the speedboots.

 

[Strange Fellow]

speed boots? u wot m8

At least tell me if the legit entrance has to do with the messages or not.

There's a pair of speedboots from one of the fixed encounters I think I found them? You can dash to instantly appear at the wall you are facing with 15(?) charges.
The entrance is behind a frail wall.

 

[Strange Fellow]

Well shit, I've had speed boots all along and never thought to test what they do. Now I feel stupid. On the plus side, there's a fuckload of teleporters I can now get past, so

 

[Watser]

The wide range of different items and their interactivity with the dungeon is definitely one of the highlights of the game.

 

[Fowyr]

BTW, that Blue Pass drives me mad.

Found it! It's behind Blue Pass door itself.

When you are using fire extinguisher and laser rifle without a reason, characters say that it's senseless, but charges are still deducted. Is it intentional? I understand when you are trying to jump into the wall and burn charges of gravity boots, but with laser rifle it's strange.

 

[CryptRat]

No, it's not intentional, it's just that's it's a mess with a total lack of standardization, indeed often supported by misleading messages. I need to harmonise at some point, I think using no charge when the item can't do anything is always fine.

Have you checked this area?
Maybe I'm a slowpoke, but I'm meticulous slowpoke.
EDIT: Well, there are TWO disconnected secret areas here.
EDIT2: You counted your pits wrong.

 

[Strange Fellow]

I swear I scoured every inch of that area, except for the places behind the teleporters. Quit one-upping me dammit

Thanks, and thanks to him.

I have found a second secret shop on the ice level. It has Disarm Tools that are empty. As I understood after seeing their code, they should be a limited charge item like fire extinguishers. Not only sold tools don't have any charge, they are not equipable, despite being in EquipableToolsDatabase.class. At least after giving them several charges, I tested them and they work from the inventory.

 

[CryptRat]

You're right, first the disarm tools from this shop (disarm tools from a travelling merchant would work) are not equippable while they should (because I kept outdated stuff) and secondly items which are not equippable don't get their charges when created (even if it also seems there's no such item with charge but that you can't equip in the game, normally), disarm tools should have 10. I'll fix this.

It's crazy, the game got downloaded 40 times today while the biggest number by far up to now was the release day with only 20 downloads.

 

[Watser]

I just found out how massive of an impact encumbrance has on the party performance, no wonder my damage had come to a crippling halt

Made a mule character, will have to be much more careful with how much stuff I am hauling around from now on. Goes to show no stat can be truly dumped even if it's a highly specialized character, great stuff!

Some text fixes:
Devorer should be Devourer. In the flavor text 'A bio-weapon which plays with the life of its enemies as much as its user's'. User's should be either user or user, depending on whether you refer to the current wielder or all the past wielders.
Radgun flavour text: 'Quite piercing rifles', I dont know if you have caught all the plural form of the nouns, they are still quite plentiful in the current version. The standard attack is also irradiates when it reads like it should be in irradiate.

When you are in the inn, pressing P makes you repair armor and changes to the previous character at the same time.

If someone translates this and postes this on codex, you would probably get 400 downloads.

That room with regenerating traps in the SW corner of level 4 is a pure, unadulterated evil.

 

[Fowyr]

After seeing such minatory and malevolent evil of malicious proportions (and because I mapped 95% of this level), I wrote a small tool. Well, I missed a lot of frail walls. I feel myself retarded. My tool is such a mess, that I can't even feel myself spoilered.
