Awesome! I hope we can go back to having contests under this new patch.

Also, they still never got around to showing my fanart. That makes me depressed.

Just started my first game with the new version and already found a couple of new rooms and a new trap that applies a -15 to dodge chance curse.

Haywire seems to not be completely fixed, I've had it pop up on dart trap hits and on my mace hits.

Yeah, I found some kind of lutefisk prayer room with a 3x3 grid of lutefisk on the ground instead of zorkmids.

One of the devs was saying loading games doesn't work quite right if you have an older version. Brax will use Dredmor's sprite and description, and if Dredmor was in the save file he'd show up as a robot, haha.

Interested to try a more melee based run now, though I will probably do a mage game first just to play with the new tweaks and Haywire.

My favorite one so far is
spaaaaaaaaaaaace

Impressions so far:

- Improved pick up rate of used bolts is so good, at least to me.
- They fixed the rooms to where every room on floor one doesn't swarm you. This might actually make the game harder in the long run while making it easier in the short term because it's less EXP being given.
- I am currently killing stuff with Vampirism by going full Melee. I think with the toning down of floor 1 Vampirism might actually be much better than it was before despite being adjusted.
- It's harder to make money now, since enemies drop less gold now.
- New rooms are very nice

Overall the game feels fresh after the patch.

EDIT: Warrior HP gains are large now. It might actually be well worth putting skill points into weapons early on now. Also Narcosomatic Induction does damage now, so it can be used as a cheap long ranged attack.

As far as I know Narcosomatic Induction already did damage before the patch, just a really tiny amount.

Tru dat. My lvl 9 ax-maniac build jumped from 43 to 61 hp or so.

Anyone else had this since it came out and not completed it?

Steam says I've played it for an embarrassing amount of hours, yet I've never been past the 7th floor.

Very nice! Time to start playing again.

...And no, I still haven't gotten past floor seven - even on easy with permadeath. Had a nice unarmed build going too.

Haven't played in weeks because of the crashing issues. It's just not worth playing if the game crashes and I lose everything. Is that fixed?

I'm pretty much done with the game. I would rather have true random levels instead of random rooms. I've seen all the rooms. Multiple times on each floor.

Unlocking/kicking doors slows stuff down too.

Hm, I haven't heard about crash bugs in a while, but I haven't been playing for a while either (since before 1.05).

I've already put almost 60 hours into this game. Love that they continue to support it so well.

I might start playing again then. I've only put in 5 or so hours because it kept crashing when I was doing well.

I just got this game and it took me 30+ min to play through the tutorial, it looks and sounds promising and very deep indeed. Will try several blimd runs before checking builds and guides.

I've played for 55 hours total so far. Haven't touched it since gaf's last (or second last) competition... Glad to see all of the fixes for this patch and last patch. Think I'll start playing it again.

Started a new pyromancer build and have been rolling pretty good so far. Got the orb of nothing and that thing is sick. I now regain mana ever turn! Almost got killed though by a thaumite trap though...holy crap was I lucky to have just picked up a zodical wand or the trap would've killed me.

I want to beat this game before expansion comes out so I turned off permadeath...It feels weird without that. So far I'm on level 3 and haven't died yet...but something always gets me around level 3 or 4.

Happy to make $5 for more content here. In retrospect, this game is really one of my favorites of the year, though it has plenty of its own issues(particularly with lack of variety, inventory management and just generally being less dynamic than other roguelikes). Hope the DLC improves some of those fronts.

I can say that the patch (out now) improves those areas some, and the DLC/expansion improves it more.

Where did you find that price? I haven't seen anyone say how much it was going to cost, and making it cost the same as the base game seems like a bit too much.

Also, they just posted on Twitter that the DLC will not be released on Steam today.
Patch 1.0.8 is up! Diggle Gods DLC is looking for a release window on Steam. It won't be today. We'll keep you posted.

I'm sure the crash on startup under OSX is just trying to save me from undue embarrassment at the flippers of Diggles. It still kind of sucks, though. =/ Hopefully it's a quick fix.

I just got a cheese mint for launching the game. I laughed heartily.

And Wal, I dunno about GOTY but by god it's fun. I keep falling into the same trap of getting careless and dying to something stupid, but that's pretty much just me and roguelikes really.

Yeah sorry I totally just shut the computer down after I messaged you because one of my fans started making a fucked up sound and I wanted to swap it out of there.

Just did a quick game to check out the female sprite. Not bad!
