Eat The Dungeon General Discussion

[bewildered_angel]

Still gotta put in the buff behavior and the party select screen, but bard should be in the game next week or the one after!

An idea: Maybe you could have an item that allows you to slow down time? Like if you know you’re coming to a battle where timing is critical you could enter a bullet time mode? Don’t know if that would be easy to code or if it would work out, but it seemed like an idea to mention

[bewildered_angel]

I have been thinking about putting in time controls, like pause and fast forward. Maybe this could be part of that.

[netlok]

A pause would be especially appreciated!

[bewildered_angel]

In that case I’ll consider it more seriously.

The hell is an Amino?

[Skinny_Guy]

I think it’s like a micro Social Network that revolves around a particular aspect of pop culture, such as a video game or other specific genre of media.

[bewildered_angel]

Isn’t amino supposed to be for kids and teens? I don’t want to be promoting ETD in those kinds of communities.

[Catqueen]

But why hell would he ask for amino if it’s for kids and teens

[Skinny_Guy]

I’ve got a buddy (we’re in college) who uses a horror movie Amino. Now I’m a little worried lol

[rexxang43]

it’s mostly the timers what bother me the overall length of levels might have to be toned up a little but to make up for a timer speedup just to keep levels lengths a decent amount, that being said yeah the biggest problem was having to wait 10-15 seconds for timers since that’s not exactly fun

[rexxang43]

maybe adding a better tutorial would be a good idea while the game isn’t super difficult to understand there are things like the warriors shield and the clerics heal things that can easily be overlooked by players going into the game, I speak from personal experience as this happened to me. (but maybe i’m just stupid who knows)

[NoNoYes]

We get it- this however is not the time, as all discussions should be focused on Eat the Dungeon…

[Spec]

I’m really looking forward to this new update, the design of the bard looks great!
This really seems like it’s starting to be more and more fleshed out,
and I’m really excited to see the way this game heads!
Well done on all fronts!

[bewildered_angel]

It’s entirely possible I’m wrong about Amino, I’ve never used it myself.

@TimmeeToons

I am aware that this is a very common complaint, but I have decided to say this anyway. In the later game, the timers are WAY too long. I’m not saying lower them down to only two seconds or something. I feel as if the max timer should only be up to around eight seconds or so, in my opinion.

I’ve been thinking about capping the max attack timer in some way lately.

I want to put in a way to learn about the game outside the initial tutorial. Probably tooltips for a lot of things.

@TimmeeToons

Also, I know you’re still making the game and everything and that you’ll do this, but I’d also like to see more characters. I would also like to see at least one new character focusing on the lower half of the body, like the thief. Thank you for listening to players, I am excited to see the complete release of the game! On top of that, you said that you were going to add new weight level portraits to the game. I would just like to be informed on how many you will add. Also, will the thief look good in them?

ETD will probably have something like 8 - 16 characters by the time its finished. I want to triple the number of weight images for each character at least.

I hope the thief will look good lol.

“i want to triple the number of weight images”

will that include some new tiers for fullness or just pure weight?

Both

@TimmeeToons

8 - 16 characters?! Triple the weight images for each character at minimum?! Good lord, you just exceeded my normal expectations times ten! I’m REALLY looking forward to the release of the full game! The customization will be superb! Thank you for listening to the people playing and responding to them!

Thank you, I’m glad people like ETD so much.

[Starry_Melody]

Will one of the characters be pear-shaped?

[Skinny_Guy]

I second this

[Catqueen]

Don’t we already have one
I want to see a knight
