Version 0.3 Early Access 4
New
Just now
This months build will be the final early access for version 0.3. With a public release planned for sometime after the early access for version 0.4 is uploaded.
The game is now fully playable using a gamepad. Gamepads can mimic mouse input using the left analogue stick. And if the dpad is pressed it changes to keyboard input mode.
There's no way to change the button layout yet, but the default button layout can be found at the bottom of this post.
The new trap rooms aren't too different from the old one with the hidden spikes. But the trap elements are clearly visible at least. The more complicated trap rooms are still being worked on.
Wands can now be recharged using the new battery item. Batteries can be purchased at the vending machine on neutral floors.
Also wands can now only spawn once throughout an entire run.
The new incubus/succubus enemies will perform a ranged attack at an enemy in their vision. If an enemy gets too close they will try to cower behind an ally, and if they have no allies nearby they will charm one of the players allies. Finally if they have no other option they will perform a melee attack.
The new enemies definitely made the game more challenging again. There can only be a maximum of 2 of them on the lava, spooky and frozen floors. And they shouldn't spawn near each other. They will guest visit the lava and spooky floors for now, and the plan is to replace them with caster enemies that fit the floors themes better at a later date.
I felt kinda bad for fixing the broken ally recruitment from the previous builds, people seemed to have fun stress testing the ai. So I replaced the npcs in the hidden debug room with a new console tile that can spawn any npc into any faction.
Preview for the february build will be up on the 1st.
As always thank you all so much for your support.
