One Way Heroics | Don't look back

I did read about the tablet somewhere but I forgot where it was, didnt try myself yet though.
Got 2 tablet from brotherhood npcs in my vault ( didn't join the brotherhood, I usually don't have the licence on me ( no vault run ), nor got a bad reputation ( negative char ? or not killed npc before getting to the brotherhood ? ) so I usually just kill everyone in the brotherhood and loot them :bad hero: ), thinking I should keep them to try them on the boss, and now maybe Dosey.

I'm surprised that no one noticed that this game is using stolen RPG Maker graphics. Some of those tiles are from the VX Run-Time Package.
Got a specific example ? would be sad if true.
 
Actually, on closer inspection they're mack tiles, which are very popular in RPG Maker projects. They look similar to the VX RTP but aren't exactly the same.

Yeah, was about to post that as well. Just compared the ground and mountain tiles, they are definitely not identical.

Okay good to know. Not that I like the game for his graphism but it would have been sad if something like that tarnished the game.

Made me remember that you never gave me your opinion of my little game Toma ! ( who also use some kind of rpg maker tiles ( well some quick charas-project.net for the character ) when you use F12 ( i think ) to switch the graphisms.

Dont just randomly remind me of one of the 1 million things I forgot doing. There is so much stuff to do in this world... I need another set of eyes and hands.

Haha no problem, my game backlog show far too well how time is easily an issue, and my little incomplet buggy game really doesn't deserve to be a priority until we get to clone ourselve. ^ ^
 
I think I technically "beat" it now... but not sure if I wanna try some hardcore runs w/ all the difficulty options enabled.

Anybody have a Seed that spawns King Victor as a party member? Still have to get his endings.

Some more Seeds:

UCKGTS - This is one of the special campaigns today. Tomorrow it'll lose the extra armor merchants, but it still has a really early shrine.
22km - Shrine (South), with weapon and armor.

ECURESEU
12km - Shrine - Only one weapon though.

VHB450MD - Good if you want to shop w/ a 5km merchant.
I had a Black Knight spawn somewhere around 70km mark, but I've reset a few times and he doesn't come back. I think he's the only truly random party member.
5km (South) - Big Town
16km - Goddess Statue

WDW59DDI - Two Big Towns back to back. No party members, but good if you just want to farm merchants for scrolls.
22km - Big Town (Deep in Mtn, so use awakening/traveler)
25km - Big Town
 
Wow that was fast, thanks. When you say dommage reduction in that formula, is it all source of dommage reduction ? like with my armor would it go : (Attack Pwr x 0.7*0.92*0.75*0.75) - ( 25+5 ) = Damage to Player ?

Sorry for the delay. Yeah, the bonus effects all stack so it counts them in the calculations.

Also, there was a small update for the game today. There were a few ID tags messed up which caused the game to display the JP text instead of English.

Unfortunately, we can't use the auto-update as it was designed way before there was a localization system in place. Testing the auto-update before release is actually what made the ID tags screwy!
So you will need to grab the new data from Playism. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Thanks for the info.

If you don't mind I still have other question about the 'hidden' dommage mecanics ! like is there any use in having more than 100% critical hit rate ?
 
More good news:

We've broken into the Top 100!
Hey everyone!

We're so happy to be able to say that we've broken into the Top 100 games on Greenlight! There's still a long road ahead of us, but there's no doubt that we've already come so far.

We want to thank each and every one of you for all your support and encouragement! Be sure to tell everyone about our Greenlight. We can use all the help we can get!

Again, thank you so much. We've already come so far, but there's still more work to be done.

Let's do this!

The PLAYISM staff
 
I've been playing this a bunch, it's a lot of fun. Easily worth the $2 and then some if you remotely like roguelikes or unique rpgs period. The interface is simple and clean, and there's a lot of replayability with various classes, perks, infinite worlds plus daily challenge worlds, varying difficulty levels and options, and NPCs you can meet with.

Even the Demon Lord has a story to tell, if you can figure out how to pacify him to talk...
 
As of the last time I checked Greenlight (about half an hour ago), we were #82. We're climbing fast. I expect a fast climb come tomorrow morning (JST). :)

Best of luck! The game seems a perfect fit for the steam library.
 
I think I got all the endings now! This is my last Seed list, including the useful ones I've already posted. Note that the "special campaign" seeds listed in the start menu lose their properties after the day is over, the following seeds will ALWAYS have the listed features.

Useful Seeds:

VGM0PLJZ - 25km Holy Shrine (w/ weapon AND armor chest)
Farming Holy Shrines: Pick a Traveler with +5 Lockpicking Perks. Now bring along ONE stamina restoration item. You should be able to pick open the door.
LQO45NAM - 24km Fortune Teller (for Force User runs).
WDW59DDI - 22km and 25km Big Town. Useful for shopping runs, since at higher difficulties merchants can stock rare scrolls.

Party Members: These only appear on Normal Difficulty+.
AEWUTAOW - 115km
Dosey
, in the Town. 420km
Queen
. I think this party member cannot spawn until 400km, so this is probably the earliest you can get them.
OQBJH131 - 6km!
KingV
, in the Town (hard and very hard mode only). 6km
Panty
, in the Town (normal mode only).
Black Knight
- Appears randomly on hard and very hard... so tough luck.
 
We have broken into the Top 50 on Greenlight!
The Top 10 should not be far away at this rate. ^___________^

Thanks for the info.

If you don't mind I still have other question about the 'hidden' dommage mecanics ! like is there any use in having more than 100% critical hit rate ?

Sorry for the delay! It has been a crazy week.
There really is no reason to get more than 100% for Critical Hit rate.
It will display the extra amount but after looking over wikis in JP it doesn't look like it does anything extra.
 
Best of luck! The game seems a perfect fit for the steam library.

Thanks Toma! We think so, too.

Small update: We're #40. We're breaking the trending chart, just like we did with Mitsurugi Kamui Hikae. >:D
 
Wow congratulation on greenlight, the game will 'soon' get more exposure, which he totaly deserve.

BudokaiMR2 : thanks again ^ ^ I guess I should avoid too many scroll of the sword saint, they are mostly about critical hit ( and accuracy ) which make them good at first but quickly give diminishing return ( I'm at 195% critical hit with my holy axe... and that's with only one Godslaying upgrade ( 35% crit ), then 4 mythical one ( 15% att power, acc, critical ).
Maybe I'm missing something ( from other difficulty maybe ) but you maybe could ask Wolf if he doesn't think he might need to add more Medium/High level skill to that scroll ( attrition, confusion, thermogenesis ), or if it's intended ( to keep quality whetstone even the lower lvl scroll interesting ).
Or those % over 100% could allow you to not make 2x the dommage on the crit, but x3 ( from 101% to 200% ) then x4 ( from 201% to 300% ), but I know that's just me wanting to do crazy number ( and probably make the game completly unbalanced in the process..... ).

Same thing with armor/phalanx scroll actually, I'm pretty sure only armory scrolls can give a better durability attrition -%.

On another note :

I love seeing SSS everywhere ( or almost /cry/cry ). :love: ( Hero class is crazy OP ^ ^ )
Should I have went another 1000km ?

You should think about writing a guide to post on Steam guides when the game is Greenlit! With the amount of knowledge and expertise you have in the game now it would probably be really helpful for new people.

To new people probably, but there is most likely far better people than me for more advanced stuff, I still don't know how to get the secret boss, didn't do any maniac mod run, never tried the 4th difficulty, only won the third one once ( no vault but with the class hero ).

But as of today I finaly did the first difficulty with no vault, with all class ! :happy: daily event are really usefull, recruiting the mercenary on one of the event today, allowed me to do my force user no vault run quite easily.

edit : I don't think there is many things to say in a guide, more like some general advise ( teleport pills are really usefull, fight the demon lord while facing left and go right if he meditate, don't underestimate how usefull it is to upgrade the weight limit at shrine ( more item = better gear and more healing item ), etc.. ).

I can see where you are coming from on that but I was thinking something general like a lot of guides are for Spelunky. This isn't the best example but this guide does a good job of providing tips for different scenarios for the player. In these types of games, a lot of people need help on how to approach/think about situations rather than "if y happens always do x". I was mainly thinking about it because when Spelunky came out I played it non-stop and ended up answering a million questions that seemed like common sense to me.

Back on topic, has anyone else had issues with movement on a 360 controller? My controller is pretty finicky in this game for some reason and I end up moving to spots I don't want to on occasion. I can always use an app to adjust the deadzones for the game or use the keyboard but figured i would see if anyone else is running into the issue first.

I have the same issue, I think the game just doesnt work properly with controller sticks. I wanted to use my DS4 dpad but for some reason the game doesnt allow me to use the dpad. Kind of a pain.
 

I dont quite get the negatives. Ugly and Unforgiving? What do they expect in that genre regarding the difficulty level? Not to mention I dont think its that "unforgiving" actually with the constant upgrades.

I'm not sure if it's relevant, but do note that the game reviewer thinks highly of Kana: Little Sister, which has your PC have sex with your terminally ill sister.

Yeah, I am pretty sure he did that on purpose so that the actual dropped loot is still important and feels worth chasing after.

I can't say I really agree either as I love the art style in the game! However, I have learned to just ignore most scores inside reviews. The write-up itself does a good job explaining the game which is what I really care about.

The fact that he says it lacks depth when compared to other games in the genre is my biggest nitpick ;p I doubt any of the reviewers will even scratch the surface of the game which is really too bad.

In other news, we have hit #10 on Greenlight! Can't wait to be included in the next batch of Greenlit titles!

Even thought I don't use vault item that much at the moment ( will probably come as I try to clear higher difficulty with some class and I really see that a no vault run is too hard for me ), I still do have fun doing some theorycrafting about what to do with some specific weapon. And yeah it does make it more fun not to only have to use scroll of the sword saint in the equation.

Like :

crescent axe :
sturdy ( -40% attrition ) ( swordplay scroll )
base 75acc 20%crit
-35ch godslaying ( scroll of the sword saint )
-15ch.attp.acc Mythical ( scroll of the sword saint )
-15ch.attp.acc Mythical ( scroll of the sword saint )
-15ch.attp.acc Mythical ( scroll of the sword saint )
-20attrition sturdy- ( swordplay scroll )
-20attrition sturdy- ( swordplay scroll )
-20attrition sturdy- ( swordplay scroll )
-20attrition sturdy- ( swordplay scroll )

100% critical hit (ch); 120% acc ; +45% att.power ; -120% attrition

was the best I could come up to make the crescent axe ( 300 durability with 30 attack power, a sturdy -heavy- beast ) have 100% critical hit and accuracy, with still a good attack power, then make it the most resistant possible.
 
1. I wonder, how do I get more starting cash? EDIT: I think I figured it out, Perk.

2. Better messages for deaths from human enemies? Unless everyone's a cannibal?

3. Also, Underscores in Post-Adventure talks.
