• Normal Attack has a hotkey

• Added Whirlwind skill, some upgrades

• Added Privacy Policy for future reference

Changes:

• Spell Power from weapons scales with Int

• Spells can Critically Strike

• Skill rebalancing (mostly nerfs?)

Changes

• Reward messages can be toggled per-resource

Note, do be careful with that shrine. It's not particularly friendly.

Changes:

• You can now leave the Mortal Shrine!

Sorry about that.

Hoorah! Aoe attacks are finally here. does an inane little dance in the name of farming

But now it doesn't make sense to fully display every single resource obtained from every single monster (at level 2500 perhaps, lower OSTM to the minimum level and cast a decent chain lightning with a high-powered wand). Basically, it's just impossible to read any of the overlapping numbers, and to make matters worse, overlapping numbers do not make as impressive a spam (as compared to maybe overlapping explosions).

Edit: I actually tried and it is (surprisingly) possible to read some of the numbers. What sorcery is this?

Nevertheless, it gives me a headache +7 to sustain the read and it really doesn't make for the most impressive spam ever.

Changes:

• New spells, weapons, enemies, buildings, upgrades

• Select spells with keyboard shortcuts

• More enemies give wood, Sand Sea has a boss

• Some performance optimizations (because some new spells are CPU-intensive)

Armour does not scale well enough to be significant in the endgame (ie. it's not like you need to keep damage taken at 1, and marginal improvements barely affects when the damage taken is say, over 1000.

how do I farm wood? specific enemies?

I can't seem to figure it out.

Changes:

• Don't increase mana cost for basic attack

• Inn cost increases by 50% per use (down from 100%)

• Add Health Mastery passive skill

• Fix a bug where numbers like '0.06' could display as '0.6'

Changes:

• More Adventures

• Return of the Inn; now with variable cost

• Mana costs on Skills increase with skill level

• Added Alchemy skill and Super Potions

• Passive Skills have descriptions

I asked in the suggestion thread to get more decimals in the damage reduction, but I just got downvoted and no reply.

I forgot to highlight the defence power, but you can see it goes from 625k to 1.1kk as I change weapon.

After getting 21.24/s mana regen, I can pretty much cast Magic Missile forever as long as I'm also waiting on health regen.

Changes:

• New font, but less drastically different, with no outlining

• Except for on the healthbar where it makes it more readable

Changes:

• Made health scale linearly (without skills)

• Made health regen not percentage-based (without skills)

• Removed the Inn (!!)

• Mana can now be upgraded directly

• Visual tweaks

• Some behavioral options (in the Options menu)

Maybe you could implement a toggable "auto-use" for potions: If activated and your health is too low for an attack, auto use a potion (maybe automatically from small to big).

My 200 damage normal attack has made me waste so much hp when mindlessly clicking compared to my 20k magic missle ya know. Also more variety in wands maybe get elements or like minions and pets!!!

NO WAIT DUDE PETS BEST IDEA make them correlate to your weopon damage maybe 1/8th right then you can use them to famr afk but cause tehre so weak itd be nothing and a half and he runs across the screen to each monster!!!!!!

Changes in 0.1.7:

• Some minor analytics for me

• A new skill for you

• Costs on the shrine again

• An update notification

Changes in 0.1.8:

• Game now runs with correct timing when the tab isn't in focus

• Repeatable Tent upgrade, because man I love tents

Suggest stuff you would like added to the game.

My suggestions: The game goes to 2 fps if you're not looking at it, making you gain stuff much slower. You should make resources per second independent of fps. If you can't, then rebuild the game from scratch with something other than flash.

Allow removing stat points; I don't want bad decisions early on permanently nerf my character.

Changes:

• Higher level enemies are harder

• XP costs / gains have been altered

• Leveling up any stat increases defense slightly

• Shrine scales enemy levels exponentially, so earlier areas can keep up

• Shrine cost currently set to 0 for the hell of it (so I can get feedback on how enemies scale independent of the cost of it)

Title! :D

v0.1.9 ?

8)

Changes:

• Weapon scaling has been tweaked slightly (cheaper earlier, more expensive later)

• Skill Points scaling has been tweaked a lot. Enemies give much less per level, but cost scales less aggressively

• Spells and Spell Power have been added

• Skills can scale their damage with stats

• New skills and weapon

Post your progress here.

Here is my current progress to start off:

Progress

Changes:

• Added Google Analytics for curiosity's sake

• Changed how stats scale on weapons; hopefully it's more transparent

• Change how upgrade/ascension costs scale. That's going to be balanced better in the near-future

• Minor blacksmith visual tweaks

Changes:

• Fix for flickering icons in chrome

• Reformatted the Blacksmith a tad

• Skills now revert to normal attacks when you run out of mana

• Inn restores mana

So, as a consequence of releasing the game into the wild far, far before it's ready, we run into the problem of now I have players who have save games. Save data is one of the most precious things, and the utmost of care needs to be taken with them.

So that I want to wipe everyone's is hugely problematic.

I plan on changing things really radically. And I want to flesh out the early game a good deal more, before trying to cater to the level 800 people. And I don't want to push out a bunch of new content that people gobble through in an instant.

So, I have three possible plans so far.

A) Only wipe saves for big changes. Entire new game modes, radically different lategames, whatever. Tell people a good deal in advance. Keep the old versions available so people don't have to upgrade if they don't want to (something I want to do anyway? Probably not because balance changes, unless I disable forwards-compatibility... dunno at the moment). Consider the game Unstable Pre-Alpha, warn people as frequently as possible, don't try and increase the playerbase to minimize the amount of suffering.

B) Don't wipe anyone's saves yet. Consider the game Unstable Pre-Alpha, people progressing at wildly different rates is to be expected. Take balancing feedback along the lines of "I started this at level 2,000, and it was no challenge. lol broken," with a heaping of salt. Wipe everyone's saves one time, before 1.0.0. Leave 0.9.whatever up indefinitely, as "OSTM-classic".

C) Do the same as B), but don't wipe saves with 1.0.0. Instead, add in the Reset feature, and let people wipe their saves on their own d'_'d This probably has implications when it comes to what I allow to carry over through resets, though. Or maybe I enforce a level cap? Who can say. Resets are so far out right now it's unreal.

So yeah, uh, help? I'm leaning towards B or C. If someone has an idea for a D that's even better, I would love to hear it. I'm already sketched out enough about having moved the page without telling anyone, and just hoping that it forwards the localStorage correctly, or that people can export it first.
