New Demo Now Available!

[p]New DeAnima demo is now available to download! Thank you to everyone who shared feedback on the original demo - it’s been invaluable in helping shape the direction of the full game. As before, the demo is limited to 3 floors of the Dungeon of Dread but now 3 character roles are available to choose from, each with different starting items that dramatically change your playstyle and how you approach the many obstacles and challenges on your run. [/p][p]As before, thanks to the RNG, almost everything else the full game offers may appear in your run, including:[/p]
  • [p]All 26+ monsters from the full game. While some monsters don’t usually appear until later floors that are only available in the full game, there is a chance you might meet late-game enemies earlier, trapped in curious glass cages. [/p]
  • [p]All 80+ unique items including potions, scrolls, wands, rings, and bags.[/p]
  • [p]All NPCs from the full game who assist with tasks like identification and enchantment.[/p]
  • [p]All special rooms, including Zoos, Vaults, Lairs, Stashes, and the mysterious Altar of Sacrifice.[/p]
[p]New features in this update include:[/p]
  • [p]Complete redesign of the entire UI. (This one took a while!)[/p]
  • [p]Full controller support.[/p]
  • [p]Many performance improvements. [/p]
  • [p]Dozens of tweaks to difficulty balancing (very tricky to get this spot on so still working on it but much happier with it now). [/p]
  • [p]Two brand new special rooms (I won’t spoil what they do here). [/p]
  • [p]Sometimes, you can find items scattered around the dungeon on the floor now. [/p]
  • [p]Ability to throw items and not have them all instantly break now (some still break so be careful with this!)[/p]
  • [p]Ability to pray to get out of critical situations. [/p]
  • [p]New Deity anger system related to prayers and Altar of Sacrifice, etc. [/p]
  • [p]Mysterious Tomes scattered throughout the dungeon to collect.[/p]
  • [p]Much, much more that I won’t spoil here! [/p]
[p]Phew! That was a lot! The latest demo is far more reflective of the final release now. It’s almost feature complete - just bug fixing and polishing to go. In the meantime, I’d love to hear your feedback! Let me know what you think or if you have questions. Thanks for reading and I hope you check out the new demo and enjoy your descent into the Dungeon of Dread![/p]
