The link in the forum post has been updated. Lots of fixes in this one, so it’s worth a grab.

Forum post link: http://forum.ferretdev.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=414

This one should fix all the funny hang bugs related to getting to 0 or less MaxHP due to Fusion, Soul Armor, or Brand related changes in Vitality/MaxHP, as well as a couple of other bugs.

Note: Forgot to post it in the change log, but in a related matter, leveling up Vitality no longer previews changes to your MaxHP in real time. (I may be able to fix this later, but wasn’t worth delaying critical fixes for. Previewing things is the worst UI. )

Found another crasher that needed fixing, this one related to brands with an SP penalty modifier applying that modifier even to things that should never have had SP costs, like basic movement and passing. This eventually caused AIs to be completely unable to do anything, which is a big no-no.

Thanks to wizzzargh and SummerSnowman for the help with this one.

Build link in the forum post has been updated to point to Brand Test 3: http://forum.ferretdev.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=414

Brand Test Build 2 has been posted, which fixes the freeze that would sometimes occur when a Relic Wraith spawned.

Here’s another link to the forum post describing the test and containing a link to the download: http://forum.ferretdev.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=414

Thanks to Zyalin for helping me track that bug down and fix it quickly

The 1st Brand Test build is ready to go.

I’ve made a forum post explaining the details and containing the link: http://forum.ferretdev.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=414

Everything I needed to say is in there, so go check it out. Note: you don’t have to actually be a member of the forum to read the post or download from the link (though you will need to sign up if you want to post in the thread, of course.)

Special thanks to Oneeyedjoe for finding a nasty bug -5 minutes into testing

EDIT: Known issue with relic wraiths sometimes causing freezes in Brand Test 1. Fix coming shortly. Test builds gonna test build.

New build released! Links to the right have been updated!

Can’t promise this build is anything too exciting: mostly just bug fixes, largely related to Demon Preservation. But, I wanted to get them out of the way before starting on the next, more interesting build.

Enjoy, and good luck in the Tower!

The newest build Demon is released! Links on the right have been updated!

This build contains three major new features / changes:

* Demon Preservation: Relics now work to preserve the life of their summoners’ demons just as they work to preserve the life of their summoner. But no gain is without loss: Restore Demon is no more! Should a demon die despite the efforts of your Relic, only the Relic Upgrade Revive Demon offers hope of seeing your fallen comrade again…

* Revamped Character Creation: Character creation has been significantly changed: in addition to being more streamlined, the overall power of starting characters has been significantly reduced, to make early game choices much more interesting and meaningful.

* Reduced Restrictions: Two major restrictions have been removed. It is now possible to have multiple of the same demon (without using Fuse Demon), and it is now possible for both summoners and demons to have no Weaknesses (via Soul Armor and Fuse Demons, respectively.) However, the inherent instability of a physical form with no Weaknesses causes a notable reduction in MaxHP… perhaps such perfection is best left to those with the Vitality to handle the strain.

Other small changes and bug fixes have been included as well: you can read all about it in the change logs included with the builds, as always.

Good luck in the Tower!

New build is up! Links at the right have been updated to the 9/30 build.

The main two changes in this build are Demon now running on Unity 2017 (instead of Unity 5), and what I hope is a significantly improved experience with full screen mode, particularly on Linux systems. Many thanks to Tchey for his help in testing solutions to the full screen issues, since I do not have a Linux system of my own I could test them on.

Other than that, the build includes a few bug fixes to abilities added in the previous build (most especially the Execute ability and its cousins), as well as a new hotkey for swapping abilities (the z key) that should be more friendly for non-QWERTY keyboards.

As previously stated, I will have to drop back to bug fix only / slower forum response times for a bit due to work here coming up, but it will only be for a couple of weeks. After that, it will be time to get back to Fun Stuff.

Cheers, and good luck in the Tower!

Whoops: four modifiers had some misplaced abilities in them in the original 9/1 version. Updated the links to 9/1/2018_b. Special thanks to OneEyedJoe for spotting the errors (and so quickly to boot!)

New build is released, links to the right have been updated!

Close to 60 new abilities have been added to the game, in addition to a collection of bug fixes and quality of life interface improvements. Enjoy, and good luck in the Tower!
