Edit 2: Aaand just encountered a bug.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

FATAL ERROR in
action number 1
of Create Event
for object obj_main_menu:

trying to index a variable which is not an array
at gml_Object_obj_main_menu_Create_0

Game crashed when I tried to pause to save the game at the kobold camp. Tried to start the game up again, got this.

Seems to be happening with others.  I'll be sure to prioritize that crash.  Let me know if that prevents you from continuing.

Controls in combat are kind of awkward, or I haven't figured out keyboard-only combat.

Currently, I guessed correctly (not written anywhere) that "a" was attack and "d" was defense.  But I still have to click the mouse per attack and move the mouse to the target.  For dungeon grinding, easy key layout takes away from the exhaustion.

Thanks for starting a topic!  Game shows lots of promise.

A shop at the beginning, so I can customize the starting character, would be nice.

It does. Still getting the error. Just for clarification, I had defeated two of the penguin scouts before I went back to the camp and crashed. Not sure if that might've somehow triggered it.

So this is what Duke left Chapter Master to make? Badass Space Marines to MonsterGirl Waifus?

Looks cute enough, I'll take a look when I get the chance.

[Folly]

I like girls, and towers are generally worth climbing. So this has peaked my interest. Without screenshots though, it's hard to get a real grasp of what manner of game this is intended to be.

Now I'm just left wondering when I'll be able to deck my waifus out in power armor...

Your waifu can be power armour.

That pun.

... This project has my approval.

[Cruxador]

Honestly, my biggest gripe at the moment is the difficulty of tracking down that last scout. >.>

The repetitiveness and lack of balance is more heavily exacerbated in the next dungeon. As for the last scout, consider that the kobold shaman said there are two to the north and one to the west; you should go around the perimeter of the navigable area. Use your map.

Controls in combat are kind of awkward, or I haven't figured out keyboard-only combat.

Mouse controls are unpolished too. The hitboxes are not intuitive and the highlighting isn't totally consistent, particularly when using multiple-target abilities.

It is finally that time.  Edit: I suppose I should add that most of Human Princess' gauntlet is in.  Next to be added is that boss fight, resolution, and then the rest of Human Princess and Kobold Princess' quests.


Towergirls 0.106


Major Changes:
A new user interface has been added to dungeons/battles/sieges/overmap.  It makes use of radial buttons on the bottom left of the screen, and then context sensitive buttons on the bottom center.  The thing scales with window size (at least for overmap and battles) so it should remain mostly legible for everyone.  Hotkeys are also more functional than before.  It's still being ironed out, expect some weird stuff until then.

Enemy mobs now scale based on the difference of their base level and the player level.  At the same (or higher than player) level, they will have no modifiers, but for every 2 levels the player is higher they receive +1 Damage and +5% health.  We'll see how this performs once the game is more continuous.

Shops have been added to the game!  You may now buy and sell items at them- the inventories reset after four weeks, or four turns.  There is currently one merchant in High Forest and one using the Call Courier spell.

Wound Dressing and Sterile Wound Dressing have been added to the game.  They are consumables that remove Bleeds and heal for a good amount over time- but taking damage while under the effect will remove them.  They are best used outside of fights.

Locked doorways have been added to the game, in dungeons.  You can open them by finding a 'Small Key' in the same dungeon and then left clicking the locked doorway twice.

The shiny state-of-the-art* launcher/patcher has been fixed up and enabled.

Fixes:
Pressing 'R' will no longer restart the current room.
Fixed the dialogue chain when answering Wine Knight about future plans.
Fixed some borked SP/MP stuff with the new siege variables.
Grabbing a character's ability, in the character screen on the overmap, can no longer lock up the main buttons.
Kobold Councilor's firepit now correctly heals the entire party.
Fixed a crash when leaving the 'dungeon completed' screen with unrevealed victory items.
Quest description text is now saved as flags, rather than actual text.  This means that (future) late-game save files will be a lot smaller and the quest text can be changed after the fact.
The game now checks for the current version at my new website.
Fixed a bug where the 'player is travelling on overmap' bool was not being loaded correctly.
Base character Accuracy has been increased by 20%.  (70% -> 90%).
Most hotkeys no longer work while the debug console is open.
The 'Sword, Shield, Mail, Hardtack, Camp' added no longer appear whenever loading a game.
Options for recovering a save game in the main menu now appear correctly on screen.
Output text in the lower right is now saved and remembered.
Kobold Shamans have decided to get in on the 'physically kind of correct light shading' and 'warpaint' things.
Wizard Destruction spells now have talent-trees and prerequisites.
There can now be more than 40 rooms within a single floor of a dungeon.
Thrown items now have animations in battle.
Firestrike has been given an animation in battle.
You now choose your origin during the introduction scene in the tavern.
Dialogue options are no longer darker than they should be.
Two new weapons have been added to the game, courtesy of Collin.
Lurking and Opportunism have been switched in the Knavery skill tree.
Characters are now correctly listed within the overmap characters screen.
Charismatic and Silver Tongue now work as intended.
You now level up during the tutorial, whether or not it is skipped.

I was wondering what happened to this topic. Just sort of disappeared or something.

[JumpingJack]

Aw yiss; the waifus are back.

so like, are there screenshots? is it a text-based game? roguelike? i don't even really know what i'm in for if i download it

Here's a general screenshot off o' Google Images. (Disclaimer: might be from an old build. Also a large image.)

Holy shit I just downloaded this a couple days ago and my god you work fast.

[Spehss _]

So I downloaded the demo linked in the OP. First thing I do is open the options menu. I had no idea how to get back out of the options menu. Took me a few minutes to find the little chalky white x in the corner. That was an awkward start.


Played through the tutorial. Get to the overworld map. Click the little plus icon on my knight picture to level up. Window doesn't come up unless I hit escape. Apply the stat changes and skill points and etc. Close the character window. hit escape to bring up the menu. Click save game. Get an error and crash the game.

Also I don't know if I'm just stupid or what but I couldn't seem to move or go anywhere on the world map. Tried right clicking on the glacier place, then hitting spacebar, got no response.

Alright so it looks like if I try to level up and do the whole process described above while in the overworld then the little knight character on the world map disappears. So I can't click on it to go anywhere. Weeeeeird bug. And attempting to save the game results in the above error and crash. Fortunately I could reload the prior save and level up in the glacier fields dungeon.


Played up to the start of the glacier tower. Game's ok for a really early demo. Art style is charming. User interface needs polishing and there's of course bugs and typos and whatnot. But it's playable. The banter with the drunk knights in the tutorial was hilarious.
