Vagante Alpha Revision 7 file

Awesome how if you die you're not totally dead! :D so good - just getting more indie everytime, love this game! Facebook.com

the multiplayer mode works well?

i cant use the skills - the other inventory window was better

Good Game

Sweet, but I don't quite like the new menu. Maybe have that type of menu for multiplayer, where it does make sense, and give single player the old one? IMO, that'd be for the best.

I think either the AI for the bat enemies needs to be reworked, or you should get a swing as your default attack with Swords/Daggers. It's excruciatingly hard to hit them with a stab, even though they're supposed to be crappy little enemies at the start of the game.

New menu I don't like, at all.

And the random generation needs some limits. I don't think you should die in the first 2 minutes because a hard *** boss just spawned near the beginning.

Suggestions:
1. Bigger maps. Very bigger maps.
2. Keep the "worm" (im talking about the boss) in a specific room and when we reach that room, it appears.
3. When a carnivorous plant eat us, we cant escape (i tried pressing each button). Maybe make it hold you 3 seconds and no more.
4. The shopkeeper still attacking us when other monster attacks him. Thats not nice.
5. ¿Could the falling stones not kill in the air? they should kill just when we're on the floor and it's falling above us.

Bugs (Alpha 7)
1. Im not sure if this is a bug or is intentional but sometimes is spawned a closed space with a chest in it. Its possible get it using a bomb.
2. Sometimes in the forest the "exit door" appears in one of the "floating islands" at top of the map. isnt impossible to reach there but using something like double jump boots, if we don't have them we can't get out.

Again, sorry for the bad english.

The inventory/Skills and magic list can be a tad taller, I can no longer switch through weapons, weapons should have there own slots.

God, the f*cking carnivorous plant man! i've 150 hp and that f*cking plant eats me (im not sure if thats well written)and im pressing each f*cking button and that f*cking pland doesnt let me out. And is f*cking faster than other monsters.

The new inventory and menu is just awful. I originally wrote that it's a step backwards from the previous version, but it's really more like a running leap.

With no dedicated equipment slots, you run out of inventory space incredibly fast, which is only made worse by having four less equipment slots than the previous version.
The functionality for equipping and swapping between multiple weapons is just gone for some reason, and since the game no longer pauses when you open your inventory as well as the inventory being tiny due to the reasons mentioned above, you effectively can no longer carry and use different weapons for different enemies and situations.

The black and white checkerboard look of the menu itself just screams placeholder to me. It's very ugly compared to what was in the game before on top of being shoved into the corner which makes it annoying to have to look at.
It's not immediately apparent how to get to the affinities screen; if I were a new player, I wouldn't even know that it existed. You can no longer read the descriptions for affinites further down the tree—which plays a big role in where to put your points—or read the descriptions of affinites previously obtained. Finally, I had no idea what resistances those tiny, black, 5x5 icons were trying to convey at first; again, if I were a new player I would not have been able to figure it out.

As for the knight, I don't think sword beams were useful enough to have justified making them only a chance of firing and I definitely don't like that the very useful Bulwark and the very useless Aspect of Rock had their positions changed on the defense tree. Knockback isn't that big of a deal in any situation and comes mostly from enemies actually pushing you anyway.
I like the new affinity that gives guaranteed crits on dashing attacks, but I haven't played enough to form much of an opinion on the other new knight affinities, though given the other changes, I don't really want to.

As a lot of others have said the new menu system is more of a bother than helpful. BunnyMind sums it up nicely.

The new chaos Scroll can be fun. learned the hard way to not test it next to the shop.

Bugs
- Fairy cage and chests can spawn in spikes. If a fairy cage spawns on spikes the cage is broken straight away.

- Rooms that are not connected to any other can be generated, sometimes a single block room with a chest can be generated.

- Dragon slamming water can flood the entire level (cant not use shop when swimming)

Cool, I was starting to think that after I seen a few of them.
Chests in rooms like that should have better slightly items in them.
ie. always have an extra stat.

In alpha 6 (just saw 7 came out), the game crashes in the forest levels. This has happened twice, each time being the farthest I've gotten. It was probably something around forest 5. I don't know if it's intentional or not as there is not an end to the game, but it's super annoying having put in an hour with no ability to continue where I left off. I have it on video too, both times.

As far as the plants go guys, if you equip poison resist, they will do no damage. I think it's +3 poison resist. Then they eat you, (you still can't get out) unless you have a spell like lightning to kill them from the inside. Swinging the sword, jumping, button mashing, does nothing.

My only issue with the game so far (aside from other things being fleshed out such as the UI) is that the game could look a lot more gorgeous (seriously though, look at that gif on the kickstarter page/ the intro of the game, the one with the merchant) but instead seems mostly limited to dark and generic cave dungeons, and that's an incredible letdown after seeing such nice art and animation. Would it be possible to make different kinds of dungeons? Things like forests, mountains, frozen lands, etc. Just an idea, thanks for the hard work :)

I would highly recommend it if I cold open my inventory in the stage between each dungeon

So I found a really freaky glitch. The bandit boss, the one with the axe, jumped into a spot with water in it. After I hit him with lightning the entire level flooded with water. Don't know how it happened but it did.
