It's...it's beautiful...it almost brings me to tears...
Im so happy he finally got everything sorted out on the new engine. This is leagues from the part a/b days.
Barely anything new in the build, but at least we're making progress.
Now big question to everyone:
What area should come next?

- The Wilderness

- The Big Tree

- The Swap

(I wish I knew how list function work in here)

"Barely anything new" my brother in christ, there's literally 2 new creatures and the hopping race. Wdym nothing new?
I mean, I guess that's progress lol? Two new enemies isn't really a high water mark for me, but I guess it might be considering how slow Zell typically is. There were a butt-ton in Succubus Affection and his horror game. 2 doesn't really seem like something to scream about to me.

It seems like the foundations being built up right now which means a lot of the progress is going into the actual systems in the game, with the 2 new anims mainly being there to keep people interested

Literally this. This is the best way to make the game. You get some showey stuff, and you fix a ton of backend shit. More devs should do this. All devs should probably do this if theyre doing an open access build like this. Focusing on just showey stuff, or just back end stuff will kill momentum for your game, or leave the game a buggy shitty mess.

To be clear, I'm not criticizing Zell or trying to be a downer. Maybe I'm just coming off wrong, lol. I'm glad progress is continuing and frankly even the unfinished game was good enough for me. Stuff like the butt-boxes are still among my favorite pixel animations.

But yeah, that was my point, it seems a lot of work for this patch was mostly background and foundational stuff which is fine, just not much extra for us peasants to sample just yet.

It's ok, you are not alone in there, I understand the excitement, especially when it's about something that really fits your tastes, I also think that it's not that much, but maybe that normal considering other projects with the same update rate (in terms of new releases per year) seem to follow that same path.

And that's why I like to wait a long time until I give those games a 2nd try, but that just why I prefer doing it in most cases, going back to a game each month just to enjoy +10 more minutes of content is not enjoyable to me, so I just wait and do other stuff in between.

Does anyone know what's the best place to get the newest demos? I see that they often post the demos on theor fanbox, but it's in 2 parts, and I haven't tried, nor do I know how one would merge the two (if they even need merging). Or would using the newest links in this thread be a better choice?

The February build was posted about 10 comments back roughly. Download it and extract it as it's all in one part now (at least for the time being).

I did. I am just wondering if the two files found would be different.
Would theybe later, butunstable builds and the one from here be the most stable one? Or will that be posted here soon as well?

Depending on our traversal skills in the game, that mushroom race could take us some time. :unsure:

Well the only real difference is that one is merged and the other isn't; yes they need to be merged.
Due to some regional issues Zell hast to do this file splitting thing which comes at our expense.
We've seen many struggle with the merging too.
If you don't want the headache, let someone merge them for you and provide the download link.

But if you want to try your hand at it:
After downloading the 2 files rename the part2 file, to avoid confusions, and then extract the 2 rar files.
Best is to extract them directly, maybe put them in an extra file if you want.
Then you simply run the part 1 file and it basically does everything for you.
Hope this helped you.

P.S. I love your PFP, Darkest Dungeon
