Hey!

I've tried it a bit, and it seems nice! I had to change the default keys since I'm always on a laptop, but apart from that, it plays nice. I keep getting killed by those stupid kobolds though, and the rest key, the dot, doesn't seem to help health regeneration.

Good going!

the rest key wont regen health.. I'm debating if it will or not in future. its too easy to hide somewhere and hit the rest key continually....

right now its a very delicate balance at the start, you need 29gold right now to 'survive' so to speak (that should get a short sword and tanned leather armour)...  next best thing is short sword and lizard hide...

there is no real balance yet

are you playing it on windows? several windows users have reported a bug not letting them buy/leave in the shop...

[Anvilfolk]

Yes I am. And I also had that problem, but fixed it. I just read about it on rgrd

Apparently, it turned out to be because I was using the pseudo-keypad. For that, I had to have Num Lk on - and the shop menu wouldn't work. I turned it off, and it started responding to the keys, even though they had nothing to do with the keypad (such as 'c' and 'd' for the swords).

Code: [Select]

Laptop equivalent keypad:

789 789
456 uio
123 jkl
Hope this helps!

thanks for the headsup on numlock, i'll check it out

edit -- I tested with the numlock on and it does indeed block... very odd.. will have to check it out tonight after work.
