I did, and turns out Q ain’t good. But R is.
small softlock potential: in the story mode in some areas, the monsters that need to be defeated to drop gates can wander off into other areas and be softlocked when you are switching between red and blue orbs, mainly noticed it with the twin minotaurs
Heya, what is the dragon scroll for? Found it several times, but don’t know how to use it.
In all my time testing it never happened but yeah that’s a fair point. I could just remove the gate entirely.
So a new thing I’m trying out is for codex entries to be pickable items rather than being based on if they were spawned in the wave mode. If you have an older save the codex will most likely be filled out. Otherwise now there’s two codex entries that can be picked up in the stages. The rest I’ll spread out across the other domains.
after you defeat pride, what to do next?
Wait for the other domains I guess. I’m still working on this alone so updates take a while. Hope they are well worth it though.
I’ve had them do it several times, seems to happen most when they get “activated” by you entering the bullet hell room and backing out to deal with the big slime, they often will run down and get locked out by the red/blue wall and you cant kill one or both of them when they do
Fixed this softlock by removing the gate, hopefully it wont be an issue anymore.
I comment rarely but…
Just to say i admire the efforts you’ve put in your game.
It’s really a refreshing game. Thx for your work.

Hope everythings okay! Saw the Discord server went poof!
What do you mean? It’s still there. .-.
Huh, thats odd I can’t find the Server at all. your patreon doesn’t seem to have the 20$ tier that I’ve been providing either. (Though I suspect thats a separate thing)
The 20$ tier was closed for the time being cuz I’m not making NPCs atm. Can you DM me on discord so I can add you back onto the server?
Played the game again since before the story mode got started and it’s been really awesome!
I’ve enjoyed the story and the huge lot of NPCs that I get a chance to interact with.
The levels are well balanced and challenging in their own ways, and I don’t know if you intended it, but I ground up to max upgrades before beating Pride using Stage 4. Not a huge complaint if it’s intended and/or removed later.
It might have just been me or how fast I was rapidly moving from Gluttony’s Domain, to the Pride Portal Room, to the Stages and the Boss Room, but I experienced some cases of short lag, but only when teleporting. Otherwise, I enjoy the mechanics that I was able to use.
I don’t know if you’ve considered it, but the layout of your rooms are in a very nice grid and it feels like you could use this to your advantage. Easily explained and easily nerfed as part of the gameplay, allowing the player to repeatedly farm levels before Pride is eventually defeated. You can revisit the level but it’s populated by NPCs and Gluttony’s servants. The levels themselves could also be randomly generated by creating a series of different and alternative rooms and hallway connectors to provide a different experience every time you enter the rooms. Repeatedly reentering them after defeating each Lord of Hell also slowly converts it to Gluttony’s style of rooms.
It’s a lot to add. You may not have considered it at all, or you may have and discarded it already. I’m just speaking from what creativity you’ve inspired me with. This game is the kind of game I absolutely love and I can’t wait to see the finished product.

Thanks for the kind words! ^^ The ideas are all great and I wish I could work on something like a randomly generated map but the scope would expand exponentially and it’s huge already as this is my first project. I do hope you stick around for the rest of the domains as well. As for maxing out upgrades, yeah you can definitely grind to max by repeating certain levels. I’ve left those intentionally for those having a tough time with the boss.

I will be sticking around for the other domains!
I forgot to mention as well, but once I noticed I could break mirrors, vases, and statue busts, I went through all the levels with a fine comb. In addition to the scrolls, but I only found two of them (I think Stages 3 and 4). I imagine I need to go through them again but looking for the scrolls.
You probably already intend this, but achievements or unlocking secret rooms would be cool. I can’t tell you how many times I ran into certain wall tiles thinking I could go through them or break them open, but I think that’s just because I play so many top-down games.
I hope I’m not annoying you by throwing out so many ideas. I want to give the best feedback I can.

Just the two scrolls for now. Don’t really intend on too many extensive secrets most of the stuff should be pretty easy to locate.
What is the function of the scroll, such as improving one level or something else? I should collect them all now. These two scrolls are located on the second and fourth stage. They are the Fire Dragon Scroll and the Bat Scroll，right？
I removed the codex entries unlocking from the normal mode and switched it over to the story mode as a collectable.
