That sucks. The custom branch was the one I liked. Back to "no translations without piss and weird balance changes"?

Well, Custom-G is the branch with the weird balance changes, and that branch is dependant upon Custom, so we won't see CG unless C finds a way to continue.

And several programmers have expressed interest in maintaining Custom so there's a fair chance that it will continue. There's certainly plenty of demand for it.

Elona is now in beta on Android as Elona Mobile. It crashes a ton right out of the intro but seems to save constantly. I am poking around in it now. Free but has coins and diamonds and the usual freemium things.

It's been a long time i haven't checked Elona status, so it looks like Noa, the Elona developer, isn't involved in this mobile version but gave the ok to the chinese company that produced it.

I also learned recently that Noa is making a game named Elin's Inn

apparently there's a demo released several months ago

There are some progress report of development in english here if you're interested :

I hope it will be as fun as Elona is

More like a year and several months ago. Looks like it still makes slow but steady progress, though, so hopefully we'll see something playable soon. Unless dev will get assasinated by some creepy people.  ::) Screens look really great. "Soon", of course, meaning "maybe another demo in this year."  :P

Uh, anyone know if the newer versions have increased the inventory space?
In my current version, my character only has an inventory of 20 items!?
- Nevermind, the 20 item limit is part of the Hard Difficulty (No Future/Abnormal)

EDIT- Age-old question: I have version Elona+CG 1.86, and a semi-decent character.  Should I restart (save incompatible with current version)?
Edit 2: I made the mistake of loading up the Elona+, which seems to have broken everything.  If it doesn't fix, decision made I guess.
Nevermind, was just playing Elona+ rather than Elona+CG.  Looks like Elona+ actually had more "features" too (for the worse).

Yeah, I enjoyed Elona, but mostly the weirdness and the systems for doing non-combat stuff. The longer the game went on, the more it was just repeating the same cycles, which lost my interest.

I actually just checked the Elona fan Discord a few days ago, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the +Custom branch has been updated as far as 2.07.2.0.
The last time I played I was on +Custom somewhere around 1.97, with the + branch somewhere around 2.04, and I was afraid that Custom had been abandoned. Now I'm looking forward to getting back into it...though it will have to wait a little while, as there are other priorities in my game list atm.

Custom WAS abandoned, to be taken up and forked as Custom-G which was also dropped and taken up again as Custom-GX.

So, I accidentally killed one of the shopkeepers in Derphy.  Any way for me to make amends?

Burn the city down and/or infest it with xenomorphs? Can't be worried about the fate of derphy merchants if there ain't no derphy left!

My memory is a bit blurry as it's been a long time i haven't played but  there was a NPC in Noyel that could restore your negative karma against a large sum of money. Though getting to the NPC could be a challenge with negative karma as there are guards in Noyel.
That or getting a wish (not sure of the word to use) could fix karma too

If you're talking about the shopkeeper themselves, they should respawn on the next town reset; which may take some time (during which you will probably fail any missions you need to deliver to them). If you have access to resurrection via book or spell, you can use that, but otherwise you're SOL.

Karma-wise, there are no easy ways; though you can suicide to the guards if you're level 6 or below for 5 karma per death. Otherwise, you'll need to rely on Derphy quests or the dead body random event.

If you have a house maid, you may occasionally get a beggar who will ask for a percentage of your carried gold for 2 karma.

I've actually gotten pretty good at restoring Karma, since I lose 30 karma every time I kill a hound or cat on this difficulty.

Having a mailbox in your home also helps, and maybe something in the ice village?

I think the easy way is stashing wallets and a disguise. Although beware turning in too many at once and becoming suspicious.
