Woops, it's actually Tenchu. Sorry about that.

Don't sweat it, I pride myself on being the worse case scenario in regards to hard headed players. Not to mention it was 4 am when I played. A couple notes: Witness at the desk screen: Oh that makes sense I guess, I sort of assumed it also referred to the interrogation too since those tend to have desks. That, and the desk I thought was reserved for note taking and evidence. Need to present evidence to suspect: Yeah I think I was aware of that, but then I went down the wrong path(most of which is due to thinking he was the witness) by trying to get something regardless, since even if he was lying he should say something like at home or eating dinner to cope. Though I suppose that's not really the point of a tutorial exactly, he did what was straightforward but I misconstrued it as non functioning. Then of course I got fed up and stopped. After playing I felt like the game would be easier to understand if it used some key words like in old school text adventures so it didn't have issues understanding, but that kind of defeats the purpose of using a language model to interpret text. I imagine that with enough data you could have a large enough vocab to understand most ways of asking a question, so it's more of a short term problem. Might give it another go later, but we'll see. Either way, good luck with it.

​@@devonbreak7937 You honestly did a great job, the game is extremely counterintuitive, but I only see how much of a problem it is now. Generally speaking things need to be explained much clearer, desk confusion is a good proof of that As for evidence, this guy is supposed to be only a presentation of a mechanic, problem is that mechanic is so poorly introduced the player is not going to be able to crack him. You're right with keywords, the game shouldn't change to lowest common denominator but expand to meet different ways that players approach the problem, current solution is capable of doing that provided good amount of data. Thanks and I will make sure that next demo is far better than this one

Ah and speech to text option was already implemented, it's possible to enable it from main menu - STT, it can be a bit spotty but generally works fine, didn't enable it by default, but will do so from now on.

Yeah it's a little hard to say about the hatred scaling, I wasn't paying too much attention to it. Regardless, it's still a more powerful weapon compared to the previous.

Also inspired SHOULD stack additional attacks. Hatredscaling does not work like its supposed to but darkrun will be best for speedrunning and kind of easier in the future.

Just to be clear, I only assumed additional attacks didn't stack, there wasn't a bug or anything.

It really is, going through editing it was starting to get to me a little.

Hey bud, nice game. 👍😁👍

You have such a way with words.

@@Sevrgpro thank yu

Looks great! I can see the influence of Mount & Blade on the combat system, and it would be cool if there were further animations with the combat. For example: When you hit a blocking sword, your sword bounces off or locks in place. Four ordinal directions for combat (challenge: Eight), so swinging from above, left/right, and from below is a stab or uppercut. Also the jump acrobatics are just a little high for the speed of combat itself, which has the pacing of a turn-based system. Good luck!

Yoo it's the dev! I saw you talk about making a sequel on RPGCodex. How's the magic gonna work in this one? Will there be Regen or do you regain it by sleeping (I can't imagine you'd keep the find potions requirement for an Open World game) I noticed the Morrowind music and the enemy dodge, is it going to be stats based attack roll or is there a dodge action?

​@@cyberninjazero5659 Magic is gonna be entirely Spell-making based, so you'll "program" your own spells based on a plethora of different effects. There will be no regen of any resource other than Stamina. You'll need to eat/drink what you find in the world in order to restore HP and MP. There's no "chance to hit", only a Dodge action that currently enemies have a chance to perform when attacked. Stats are gonna make a huge difference on everything, though!

@@ithirosumi3093 Interesting, will there be an inventory system to store health and mana items or is it 'take them when you get them'?

@@cyberninjazero5659 Expect a fully fledged RPG system including an inventory, equipment, and all the good stuff. Alchemy is also in so you can brew potions for more significant effects than just eating bread.

Thanks for the comment, always nice to see what people get out of my videos. Oh you're nerfing the one way I was able to survive the onslaught? You really are a roguelike dev! Probably for the better I'd say, as it stands shielding can be a bit OP at a chokepoint. Yeah I really should have used the kick, I have a bad habit of ignoring martial arts in roguelikes. I noticed the "-1 turn to cast" for using a strong attack, though I thought it was the other way around. Instead of ending a turn before the attack, I thought it was attacking then ending my turn. Basically, I thought it was a cooldown after the swing instead of a windup to swing. Dunno if it would take up too much screen real estate, but an easy clarification would be to have the text say "-1 turn before casting." At least that seems better to me, but I admit that it's on my end for misinterpreting. If you don't like the choke point method, you could test the waters by making all the room entrances seal up when a fight starts. Though I think you'll have trouble balancing that. I don't think I've played a roguelike where open combat is very viable(skill issue, probably). Of course that makes the stealth mechanic kind of moot once in combat, so maybe instead have a lot more room connections, and enemies try to flank you if you go in a corridor? It would also help if the AI doesn't block itself unnecessarily. For example I could hold a diagonal on a corridor with an open tile straight out of it, and the enemies wouldn't walk through to surround me. An example of a game that does this is Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup. Oh wait I'm starting to ramble. Anyways, hope you have a nice day.
