Some point by point responses (and questions) since you said a variety of things, not in any particular order.
- Spider Lair is done.
- BloodCaller does indeed work with spells. Maybe that was why I managed to get this far...(cf my remark on that below.)
- Overpowered guy is Optional? except that you need the bloodruned athame which is in there...?
- Killed so often by off screen attacks? Just once. Also not sure what you meant by "sadly". Do you mean it is sad that you don't know? or sad that it happened? Because the latter I agree with, with the caveat that any game death is "sad" because it means the player may give up and leave the game. Or I guess it could mean sad in the "that's so pathetic" sense of the word...
- I get you think my build is terribad but so far until the far east the build was doing just fine. Not sure why you think it is amazing that I managed. I did wipe the floor with the orc ambush and pretty much every orc patrol that I could find. (A couple got away.)
- I had a bad moment where I died in the melinda/cult thing because 12 blood mages surrounding me with no way out. But I am not sure that was a matter of build but the lack of preparedness for that particular situation/bad tactics.) And this is the same build that I won with a while ago, so I figured it would be fine.
- I don't particularly like the blood moon/shalore crit bonus strategy. Corona 4 was a late addition because I wasn't sure where else to put the points. Not like there is a good build strategy to follow online.
- Equip drops could have been better, that is the best hat Ive seen. (no armor skill for helms.) I could probably swap some stuff around as I packratted a lot of equip in the fortress that I wasn't sure of or where I needed a prequisite in case I got that prequisite later. But as I said drops have been pretty crappy. I assume that's just my personal luck allotment and everyone else always gets the golden gear suits as per need. Since roguelike and all. :p
I do have some elem resist rings/amulets but not sure what else that matters.
- my main reason for this post was the complaint about excessive damage. As far as I can tell, resists wouldn't help that (because it seems they don't reduce damage absorbed by the shields) nor would doing extra criticals...Getting hit from multiple directions by damage exceeding 500 was more than I was expecting at this stage of the game. It has been a few years as I said since I played in the Far East (beyond the starting anorithil shalore zone there.) So maybe my expectations were a bit too low.
Uhm just as a sidenote the overpowered wyrm is optional and you probably shouldn't attempt it unless you feel very strong in the other areas.
I'm not sure as to how you get killed so often by offscreen enemies sadly.
You should probably do the spider lair before the prides, its a bit easier.
And the wyrm after the prides -IF- you want to do it. Each pride has different types of monsters, try to target those with monsters that you can beat easily first (ex if you have high fire/water res, you could go for the one with the cryo/pyro-mancers)
As far as your character goes, I am amazed you got this far with your current equipment.
You don't have much elemental defense and crit which would be good with the 4 levels you have in corona (you should have invested a few points in the shalore crit bonus and blood red moon for it to proc more often)
Your current character relies on magic/spell power and cun/crit (spell crit) for damage.
You don't benefit from your belt (which gives mental crit, not spell crit), gloves which don't give you anything but resist to fire/dark) and your helm is a bit lackluster. Your boots give movement speed, might be useful for fleeing or moving in combat, or a specific place in the game... , but are a bit weak on your main stats, movement speed, just incase you didn't know, doesnt affect your casting time which still take a full turn. Edit - oh and your cloak seems to just give you 10 def/6 cun
I'm actually also not sure if your ring that does life leech works with spells (never tried so really just dunno).
You could have unlocked Combat Training in Last Hope. I'm not sure if you can get the category now. Five points in Thick Skin would give you 15% resist all. Also, I have a Shalore which is just about ready to leave for the far east and he's level 34. You could use the Far Portal to gain levels if you did not do so. I'm not sure it's any safer though.

Cursed - cursed touch
Draconian - learns the rest of their tree when they find their special scale
prodigies kind of don't have an undo button so I can see they'll take a bit. (Cloning the entire character build is a bit much without admin.)
Sorry I've been gone from developing (1.0.3) since around when my cat Blue had kittens and stuff.
Learning some other stuff and this looks so interesting
Yes! YES! Finally!
I am buying a new android phone within 5 months, I wish i could test your game then.
For phones scaling and setting to ASCII would help a lot, however the UI should stay as it is!
Any ETA of beta? :D
I will buy it 100%
What are the changes in the new version?
I am wondering if it will be compatible with Kindle (Fire HDX most specifically.)
How do you use this addon I'm at dreadfell zone 9 and the master isn't here I've dug everywere got this to find him and don't know how to use it ctrl b doesn't bring up cheat menu
I have a android phone now and I would love to get this! Also, you should charge for it, maybe $2-5? Have a free demo version or something. :)
OH HELLS YEAH
And now, four days later, almost two more years were accumulated. Insane.
Looking at the stats, the number of deaths is just above six million. I wonder when the 6Mth death happened :).
What was the reward?
I have 17 days listed, which matches up with steam, but I'd already beaten the game (once only) before it even came out on steam, soooooo..... I'm guessing that's maybe half of my actual time.
I have spent over 196 hours on my Steam copy of ToME, but te4.org indicates that I've only played for 3 hours and ~40 minutes, even though I always play online to be sure to track achievements.
lol ;)
Time DOES fly!
Na a real touch aware UI needsto be made or this will feel like so many other mobile ports: bad and unusable ;)
There is a lack of good roguelikes on iOS too (at least free ones).
I wonder if there will be two versions of the game (one paid, one free), like the pc version. And how will the right click be simulated (by pressing the screen longer ?)... Will there be the DLCs too ? And a way to zoom too, to help the people playing on phones too instead of only tablets ?
I was going to learn how to program for iOS (before my school teaches me) and how to program in LUA in order to try to make a version for iOS... But I'm really happy to see that you are making one :D
We all hope for your success on making it !
Good luck !
I remember saying to friends about this statistic of the game, last week... The total play time was 499 years 65 days 15 hours 4 minutes. It was two year ago ;_;
There's a lack of good roguelikes on Android. There's also a lack of good core games without insane marketing decisions on Android. Great news. Thank you.
PS: Please don't forget sPen support. Shadowrun messed it up and it's a pain.
I don't drive, I walk everywhere i go. I'm going to get hit by so many cars after this is released!
Oh heck yes! I've been loving the little bit of ToME I've been able to play. If you need any testing done on a nvidia shield tablet, I will be more than happy to oblige!
Also many thanks for doing android first. About time we get something first lol!
Playing Ghost Paradox mage.
When I invest point in Const it takes out 2 h.p from max
The room in the upper left of the secret section is being thought of as a hidden stash. The fact, that the level had been recreated for you as if you haven't been in there before (including generating the same item inside the stash again) indicates, that the game somehow didn't properly save your progress inside the zone after clearing it for the first time. Sadly, I couldn't reproduce this behaviour. It could be related to cloud savings (if you were using steam), a rare fluke or some code related interaction I am unable to see at the moment. Anyways, as long as no harm is being done to your character, this doesn't sound too grave. Thanks for your feedback!
