Thank you so much for playing our game! We are ecstatic you liked it so much

@MrInternetHermit 2 года назад

Will there be an option to start with an ingredient artifact or some player choice in starting ingredient pool?

@TheMrMylz 2 года назад

It would be good QoL if there was a warning when you continue to map without transmuting to gold

@SBChaevok 2 года назад

This game looks like a blast! Wish I didn't miss the Demo badly... would have loved to get my hands on it before I bought it next month!

@fredericschatz5379 2 года назад

so, i run level 1 for about 4-6 hours, and i usually keep dying to the same spot in lvl 2: the Plants, which start out as 1 Plant and keep splitting into more smaller plants; not sure what i keep missing out on, since adjusting artifiacts, buying up all reasonable recepies i could get my hands on, and keeping my ingredients bag clean of unwanted ingredients all are being applied already; now, i fully understand, that the healing resources are supposed to be limited, for each level, and that advancing mep up fully heals already. still, i am slightly confused to what else i can do to adjust. thanks for the hint with the discord, eventually i might drop by there, to look for further advice. =)

@fredericschatz5379 2 года назад

so even with understanding that the plants enemies in lvl2 are an AOE dmg check, the fight unnaturally prolongs itself with them splitting in 2 like hydra heads each time you kill one, and the game before that favors single target dmg heavily; - but that's just my observation so far.

@KhanShotFirst 2 года назад

Doesn't the "hand" tab use the reagents you have access to? It'd make sense if that were the case.

@CourteousH 2 года назад

A game that rewards makers of spreadsheets! Very cool way to make each combat a multi-stage puzzle - discovery, then min-max. Alchemy - creation from nothing.

@ControlerAlpha 2 года назад

When you skip reagents you have to click the take gold button. You stayed at 90 gold after the elite fight.

@Retromation 2 года назад

oh well

@dndmaps2544 2 года назад

25:30 You do have a tab for recipes you have the ingredients for. It's the hand tab.

@loteknomad5032 2 года назад

I've been discovering many new games to try through your channel. Really appreciate it, and appreciate that extra bit of guidance about the demo button for this one. I had been scratching my head trying to locate it. :)

@RupertDwan 2 года назад

Did Reto not notice he had a piercing attack which could have beaten the boss? Yes. Should this be considered a problem of the game's design or a natural challenge it introduces? Hard to say. Would Reto have probably ended the video after beating the boss anyway? Very likely. I like the idea of this game quite a lot as it currently stands, but I worry about its long-term prospects. It more or less functions as StS with weak basic cards and more energy, and you get a greater effect by using the cards in the proper order/position. However, the issue I notice is that using "more" ingredients is the same as using more energy and cards. When you factor in that added cost with the increased luck requirements for what determines a "good draw" the current balance feels a bit unwieldy. Either way, I look forward to seeing where this goes, but it remains very much a demo for now.

@Counttec 2 года назад

Game looks great so far, loved the new spin on card/deck building. A QoL improvement would be for the game to remind you to transmute reagents after battles, before you leave the endcard.

@trevorerrthum7989 2 года назад

Love the concept and thought behind it! I think variable dmg (like dealing 5-7 instead of 6) could add more interesting challenges. Artifacts could modify those intervals for specific types of potions.

@pedantic7158 2 года назад

This looks absolutely wild. The roguelike deckbuilder version of Alchemists (the board game) I didn't know I needed. I love this!

@donaldsnyder1543 2 года назад

Cool game , maybe a series when its out?

@m0002856 2 года назад

So I am still pretty early on in the video, but you brought up the idea that it will start to get really tedious trying to remember every permutation of recipe that you have already tried during that first guardian fight. I noticed earlier that the game actually does keep track of that for you! You put a combination of two items in that you had already tried, and the game labelled it as a "Miscombination" instead of labelling it as "???" So it sounds like the game will keep track of the combinations you have tried, and will inform you whether they are a miscombination or not later should you forget and try them again. Edit: 38:45 is a good example. If you notice, the game already tells you it's a miscombination before you even clicked combine because that was a combination you had tried already.

@Retromation 2 года назад

Yup, I discover that around the middle of the video

@m0002856 2 года назад

@@Retromation I got to that part later but didn’t want to further edit the comment. I’m glad you figured that mechanic out though. I think the game should add in that mechanic as part of the tutorial and have it be explicitly explained, otherwise a new player could miss it just like you did. I think the game is better played when you understand that mechanic. I also would like to see the recipes remember things that are substituted as well. Kinda sucks when you’ve been using a substitute to try to figure out your recipes, and then the real item doesn’t count as having been tried even though it has :(

@StonedtotheBones13 2 года назад

This is immediately so clever and just keeps getting better. I do wish you could gather ingredients- I had the idea of having runs using only the items you've found. But I'm p sure that's me wanting to play alchemist sim 😂

@brianmenikheim6324 2 года назад

This one looks very interesting. Definitely different, but with some familiar aspects. I like it.

@m0002856 2 года назад

Oh Jesus why would they allow you to do this? 41:28. They really allow you to choose not getting the reagents OR taking the money by going to the map instead? That's kinda rough... They should probably make it so you automatically get the money for skipped reagents.

@Seftak 2 года назад

No, never force gameplay on people. If you want to make a "no money run" then don't take the money. Slay the Spire allows you to never take any reward ever. Unless forced by an event...

@m0002856 2 года назад

@@Seftak I mean… doesn’t STS also specifically say “Skip rewards” instead of “go to the map”? “Skip rewards” better communicates that you are forgetting to take something, and STS also doesn’t have a base mechanic where you can choose a card OR money. You either choose to take a card or you don’t. You choose to take money or you don’t. This is you choose to take the reagent OR you can choose to take money, so I think they should remind you of that so you don’t end up skipping all your rewards on accident and not even realizing it.

@awalker300 2 года назад

looks cool but seems like a lot of flipping back and forth between tabs.

@AndGoatz04 2 года назад

a small meta-game exploit, you can use the unsolved hints to semi-guess what to use (or at least get a rough concept of said potion)

@pepper9238 2 года назад

I think if you don’t use a reagent it might stay in your hand for next turn. Just a guess. But that would help for turns you don’t need block. It gives a reason to hold stuff instead of wild experimentation, not that wild experimentation is bad, just that it looks like its not the only option. Very cool and tough looking game though.

@whotheo4878 2 года назад

I feel like they should (if they haven’t already) have hotkeys, preferably configurable, that send the reagent you’re hovering over to a slot. Like pressing ‘1’ sends it to the top left.

If this game gets as much depth as slay the spire it could be a pretty good one. A little bit of a fresh spin learning recipes each run.

@DrakeFeatherwing 2 года назад

I mean, we were taught growing up that "when two vowels go walking, the first one does the talking and is usually long," so I can get the thinking behind pronouncing reagents as "regents."
