@Staindadict, the rage thing is a bug and will hopefully be fixed soon.

Hi Aprone

I didn't start playing yet, but the first thing I noticed is the lack of labels for the account name and password. Also, any hopes for a standalone client with sounds etc?

I use it just fine with IE 11.3. Jaws 17 Windows 10. Seems like quotation marks are still throwing punctuation errors.

I really like those ideas Dark, and thanks for the heads up with IE working now. Also thanks to Aprone for creating this game and fixing the bugs, big help!.

Oh and Aprone, as a committee of one, I here by appoint Dark your new idea boy for this game. rofl

Thanks again!

Hi,
I have a question, what happens about character names in this game? Because if I have to keep making new characters, well, I always use the name jukesy and I'm worried if I have to keep choosing a different name I'm going to seriously not get any naming ideas very quickly.

Well, this is the turning point. I just purchased a gamer account and have finished my first adventure with a settlement, as a mage. NOw playing as a warrior. I think what makes this game so much fun is you can play for as long or as little as you wish, there isn't any pesky turn limits so you can continue until you finish, or start an adventure and come back another time.

@aprone I have some ideas for ancient ruins, I'm going to put it as a spoiler though, and it's slightly rambly but has a few things in here that could be really fun.

I don't think it should just say demonic form, instead there should be an option called guardian form for those who don't want to be evil. I think there should be a radio button that lets you customize your form a bit as well, perhaps for defeating it some guardians/demons could give bufs like extra maximum health, rage, etc, and a second edit box appears letting the guardian type in what happens if adventurers win. So there could be a form that gives you extra gold, the adventurer gets that gold by getting a key to a vault.
So it would look like this:
first edit box: you find yourself standing in an ancient temple. Suddenly a thief cloaked in shadow appears.
Next, a radio button, which the guardian sets to "extra gold". Alternative options could be, "class buff" (so for mage that would be mana, for ranger that would be arrows and for warrior that would be rage), "full healing", which is self explanatory or "empower", which could fully heal plus give some extra maximum health.
And finally a second edit box, the guardian could enter something like "upon defeating the thief, you find a ke. Exploring further you find a locked vault, inside you find a stash of gold coins."
Perhaps there could also be a third edit box that lets you type in a small name for defeating it as well, which gets added to a sort of log at the end of the game, a bit like an achievement.
The thing is, for something like this, how much would 500 characters let a person type?

I think I've found a bug.
As a thief, it's saying all gold is doubled, yet I'm still gaining stuff like 3, 9, and even just 1 gold sometimes. Shouldn't double gold mean an even number?

Greatly enjoying this game, even though I've only played once.
I've had that same double gold bug getting odd amounts.
A few suggestions:
1. Make the line announcing your Square be a heading for easier navigation in browsers. (Yes, I know it's like two lines Down from hitting CTRL+Home, but still )
2. I don't know if shooting stars do anything, at least nothing happened to me as a ranger/thief. Maybe it could give a bit of gold/hp/arrows...Or a temporary/permanent upgrade to your weapons.
3. Maybe add some walls/Cliff faces/similar here and there for people to leave messages on. Every 100 Squares, starting from 25 perhaps. Or every 50, Again starting from 25...Depending on how many would be needed.
4. The ability to bury a crate with a bit of gold/arrows and similar would be fun.
5. Potions, scrolls and new weapons would be pretty neat too, it gets a tad boring to only have a knife and a bow after a few hundred Squares Potions and scrolls might be decaying, so they'd go away if not used within 10 moves. Perhaps you could sell some of this stuff at settlements too, or buy some.
...I think that's about it for now, time to go try out warrior and mage ^^

Someone might have been playing at the same time as you and also landed on the settlement.
Remember, while this is a co-op board game, think of it like the mainstream game called Dark Souls: the other players are almost like ghosts to you, slightly effecting you but can not join you.

Actually it was done that way on purpose.  Originally the plan was to have it only count it as helping once, no matter now many things the person purchased during that same visit to the store.  Due to the nature of people casually playing for a few minutes here, and a few minutes there, the server had a hard time keeping track of which purchases should still be considered the same "visit" as the last purchase.  Because at times this could have been unfair (one player only gets credit per visit while another gets credit for all 5 things purchased), it seemed that just making it the same for everybody was the better option.  So it's true, if you sell a player 2 health potions, you get credit for both sales even though it's the same player on the same "visit" to your shop.

I know I haven't updated this game in a while, sorry about that guys.  I'm currently being pulled in many different directions at the same time, so these smaller projects are being neglected.  I'm still surprised this tiny game is as popular as it is!  I never expected that.

@Aprone: Small, simple games are my favorites...That, or huge and super complex ones with a lot to explore...But I love stuff like this.
Would it be possible to make some kind of client for it to run on one's computer instead of playing through one's browser? I'd love that, and I think at least someone else mentioned something similar a few pages back.
