PTW, this is similar to a Kongregate flash game and Recettear...

The one that plays like a Facebook game... In that you need to collect people to gain an advantage.

I heartily enjoyed reccettear, but i felt it lacked something :/ maybe the "adventuring" just got old.

Yeah, love it to bits, but I can't seem to return to it after a couple of (in game) days playing it.

Suppose it quickly becomes apparent that it's a pretty much a massive grind or something. Lovely game though, lots of character.

I would love to know the name of that Kongregate flash game, if anybody had it to hand.

Ah, I tried looking it up in my play history when I first posted about it.  Just remembered part of the name and looked that up.

Swords and Potions

I got really frustrated because I never worked out how to go to a different dungeon so it was really boring doing it over and over. But I was determined to enjoy the game so I did play quite a while. I think discovering the new items/recipes etc was something that I really enjoyed and kept me playing though.

I just tried that swords and potions game. It's yet another free to play/pay to "win"/collect people games. Unfortunately.

How about the fact that not only is dungeon diving pointless after the second dungeon... but that ignoring dungeons altogether is the easiest way to earn money.

A guy who gives out loans, so you don't automatically lose when your goods are worth more than taxes. 

For now, you can Pawn items to the auction house (for a fraction of their value) at any time.

Was an easy addition, should have thought about it before, and hopefully should be a nice stop-gap prior to proper moneylending.

In other news, for those interested, progress is going pretty well to a new release.

Won't look a great deal different, but the hero behaviours are far more intricate, and I'm quite happy with the way it is working generally.

e.g. I set up a scroll shop in town - filled it full of scrolls - and got quite a lot of business from Necromancers, Summoners and Mages swinging buy [sic. heh nice typo] to see what the fuss is all about.

Contracts seem to be working fairly robustly, get generated independently of the player, and dungeons are a little more interesting (was funny reading a hero's log as he repeatedly expressed frustration at being 'lost' in the dungeon ...). I have added a pretty simple 'fixed' feature to each floor level (generated on discovery by a hero) which needs fattening up a bit, but introduces things like trapdoors, traps, 'puzzles', treasure rooms, evil altars etc.

Some of the features also generate 'Rumours' back in town - nothing done here yet but the intention is to allow the rumours to generate 'Special Missions' for adequately equipped heroes.

Monsters don't work either, and balance is all to-cock, but I'm pretty happy with it so far.

Chug chug chugging along ...

I think we'll call this a release:

Don't put code tags in spoilers. It makes it too tiny to read.

Very cool that you release the source along with each release. I'll take a look when I get home.

Ha! So it does ...

If you have the time, I'd be interested to know your thoughts

Grabbing it now!

I'll be playing pretty much blind but will let you know what I think.

Edit: First feedback... fixed resolution. The window is incredibly small on my 1080x1920 monitor. Hard to read the font.
Edit2: A minor point. When pressing S to add 5 to your bid, I feel like it should set the price at 5 instead of 6. Maybe have the bid default to zero? It adds an extra keypress if I want to bid in multiples of 5 as I have to then subtract the default 1.

[lecavian]

So cool.... especially noticed all the configurablish files in the directories.  I haven't had a chance to play yet, but I'm salivating.

For some reason that link isn't working for me.  Is that website down or something?
