Fix a critical item level bug for EU players (1.1.2000)

1.1.2000
  • Fix a critical bug currently affecting only players who is on EU locale which will generate items with broken levels.


I cannot imagine equipping a CURSED Lv.301 sword, my entire life and my after life would be cursed... ːlunar2020horrifiedratː ːlunar2020horrifiedratː


For technical note, this was from difference between data passing around in the game, also including data that was passing around between network when playing in MP.

There was an oversight to internal number formatting and for example the value 0.25 (quarter) will be printed into "0,25" in EU locale, passing around in the system and network, and then the non-EU client will read it back as "zero comma twenty five" and understand it as 25! (I don't know who design this programming behavior, but it is crazy) and the same is also happen in reverse.

For this update, the game will also try to "FIX" and restore the original number, like 25 back to 0.25. But for the V lines (which in screenshot originally it should be just the LV.1 line) are internally indistinguishable with the real V lines so it had to stay that way, so a little start bonus, I guess.

If you still encounter any more bug related to this, please hop in and tell us in Discord.
Thank you. ːsteamhappyː

Discord Created



Discord server is finally created after some thoughts.
You can come and just lurking waiting for next update, that's fine, or looting, that's also fine!

https://discord.gg/XFSrPfjsep

That's all, below is just usual extra rant Q&A.
----------------------

[h2]Wait, why Discord server took so long?[/h2]

Initially I saw player base are just playing in their friend group and there was very limited number of player who want to open or join the public room, so it was my own assumption that there were no need, plus the game did not reached that significant scale anyway.

The second reason, of my own little silly excuse, that I'm not much of a discord person myself and I almost never join any discord of any game I purchased, so I hold the discord idea up until now, where several players came up personally to me and asking for discord, I thought to myself, well I could try. I don't think I will be much capable in answering to all messages but please be easy on me :)

[h2]What is current development state/plan of the game?[/h2]

OK back to the game itself, the game will be expected to get updates at pace around twice a year.
But currently, as I wrote in the last update, I'm currently pushing another smaller side project until around October, but as usual I'm still always open for bug fix, or do you want to help cook some idea, also the bug report should be easier now with the discord so please definitely hop there.

Rework on Adventurer class (1.1.1997)

1.1.1997
  • Rework on Adventurer class
  • Change design on Deleter timeout to spawn group of shadow enemies instead
  • Fix a bug when clicking browse icon in blacksmith menu will popup a dialog that could not get rid of
  • Fix a bug when defining custom keyboard control with arrow keys will conflict with camera control

[h2]Adventurer[/h2]
TL;DR: The class got its 3 skills reworked and is now center its play on counter attacks.
COOL Sweep, previously it could stun you if spin too much, now it will never, instead it will spin longer, shoots shockwaves but have longer cooldown.
COOL Dash, the hitbox is larger and also now stuns enemies.

COOL Stance, is the new skill to replace old COOL Speech. The character will enter auto-guard state for a duration and you can brawl with group of enemies with ease.

Parry counter-attack
Currently exclusive only to Adventurer, he can do TG counter attack!
It will emit different effect clue when you done it.

Normal counter attack does 1.3x damage, but TG counter attack will start at whopping 1.7x damage! (upgradable by passive skill)
In addition, all 3 main skills' cooldown faster if Adventurer do a counter attack hit.

Adventurer was one of the very first class came with the game from its early development, now aged 3 years old, first it was designed to be a little bit tricky to use, like a spin attack that can stun yourself if you spin too much, or the revive skill that you trade your own HP for using it. Thinking back, I wonder what I got on my mind back then when designing those weird skills (laugh), It confuses many players who are trying this game for the first time, the damage was done, I hope this update will make it better and have smoother experience for this class.

[h2]Deleter[/h2]
TL;DR: Instead of a one-hit-kill reaper, now it summons shadow enemies to hunt you down instead.

You still got high chance in finishing the stage if you are very close to clear the map and can navigate to survive their attack, my best advice is to not try to banter with them.

------------------------

The content update for Dungeon Looter will be paused for a while, as I'm also working on another small game demo which I'm trying to be in time for Steam Next Fest October, if I'm can cook it fast enough. I will keep fixing the bug or major balance issue if any of these issues arise.

As always, if you spot any bug or inconvenient, feels free to drop a message on the forum.

Model and voice pack added (1.0.1973)

1.0.1973
  • Add model pack "Face Panda"
  • Add model pack "Aoi and Friends"
  • Add voice pack "Chinese Male"
  • Add voice pack "Reel sound effects"
  • Fix a bug when creating a new profile will not reset unlock list, making unlock list bricked for that new profile.

To congratulate the full release and as a thank you for international audiences' patronage, we added new avatar models to join the Dungeon Looter crew:



Face Panda is popular reaction meme from the internet. He has numerous face customization, check him out! It is unlocked on Looter License LV 4

Aoi and Friends this model pack was made popular by certain bizarre love simulator game which took 10+ years and still not even finished. So she decided to give this dimension a visit for a change along with her crush senpai and her (rival?) friend. They are unlocked on Looter License LV 3

Chinese voice pack is also added to the voice pack list, it is unlocked and available from start.

Reel sound effects is a collection of sound effects from popular short video those will damage your daily brain cell (and your friend's). It is unlocked on Looter License LV 7

[h2]New profile - unlock list bug[/h2]

This bug happens when you create a second profile from the title screen, the unlock list from previous profile will also transferred to the new profile (wrong) making new profile cannot progress the unlock those are already done.
If you did not created any second profile yet, you are safe from this issue and nothing to worry about.
If you struck with this bug, your new profile's unlock data is probably in broken state, you can either:

A: Delete and recreate your second profile, unlock data should now be blank as expected. But data will be wiped.
B: If you really want to keep your data while fixing the broken unlock data. The save file needed to be hand edited, contact me via discord (username "wappen").

------------------------

The next update will be focus on rebalancing, especially some rework on "Adventurer" class which has been serving as an introduction class for everybody who is trying the game for the first time, it is the first time experience which decide one will give up or continue playing the game, I look to make this beginner class more friendly and fun to play.

As always, if you spot any bug or inconvenient, including error in these new content/models, feels free to drop a message on the forum.
