Yeah I'm honestly pretty disappointed in the new model they're going for. Slay the Spire is my favorite game of all time, and I love the idea of going through the tree of nodes, but I've never been a fan of the combat in this game so having to do it over and over feels not so great. I'm hoping that with this rework comes a new combat model as well.
I don't really see why this complete rebuild of the game was needed/wanted, other than the dev being bored in their work ig (which that doesn't bode well either).

Because Flash reached end of life.

I don't understand this new direction... They made so many improvements with v0.2, only to then make this massive change. It made more sense to conquer and keep territories and advance at your own pace (and this system still needed polishing). But we were able to use the breeding mechanic to get the monsters we were missing and organize the army, level them up and then attack when we wanted. Now it's more like "go with what you get along the way". Even from a story perspective it doesn't make sense.
No, I mean the change from what it was to a roguelike mess.
In my first and only run I had a strat that was kicking ass by the 3rd node, but because of how many nodes it takes to get to the end, and that there isn't an option to decline the monsters the game forces you to have, every wave of monsters I had took over 20 seconds to come out so I just up and lost. It really feels like I'm just not even supporting the same game. It's kinda heartbreaking.
Anyone know where these last 3 are? I'm fairly sure I cleared the whole map (although not all at once) and didn't find them.

well, on his Discord he said he's planning to finish this game in this year, because he said working on this game for so long could lead to "burn out"
Hoping that's not another god damn lie.
Hoping that's not another god damn lie.
I would definitely say he's already in burn out based on the fact he restructured the entire game without much of a given reason?
There is a reason, FLASH GOT SHUTDOWN because its security was ass. Also flash was not the best engine for the game, it limited too much what the dev wanted to do. So i wouldnt say its without reason, there clearly is big reason why to change the engine. Then there was people that promised to make the switch but suddenly vanishing into thin air.
For the 2nd time now, not that restructure. The one that JUST happened, where he changed it from what it was to the rogue like mess that the current version is.
If you dont like it then dont play the game....... move on and find something else to play. The dev isnt probably reading this thread so your complaints goes to nowhere.
Dog, the game has been active development for 6 years(?). And for those entire 6 years the game was a certain way, it played a certain way, it was a chosen genre of game. Now, after those 6 years of work, we've completely shifted gears to a completely different genre, a completely different gameplay loop, a completely different game.
People PAID for this. This isn't very much a "erm, if you don't like it, dont play it" moment, it's more like we were all here supporting a game that (from my understanding) won't get finished. We've sliced the community of people that loved your game into people that like roguelikes and people that don't.
And it's not like I hate roguelikes, I have a crap ton that I love, it's the out of left field right turn to a gameplay loop that is completely different. We've gone from a chill game that was taking inspiration from risk and other strategy/simulation games to a mindless "play until you get lucky" roguelike.
I haven't paid shit, if you have, no one forced you to do it. I have waited all these years if the game would be completed. It will probably be completed at somepoint. How long does it take? Who knows and i'm not sad if it isn't ever completed.
Btw you broke one rule of the site but i bet you don't even know which.
It seems the main point I brought up went completely unread, so whatever ig.
And I'm sure if it's that vital of a rule a mod will say something about it. Very interesting way to phrase that sentence though.
