'Tis Released: Edifice Download and Known Issues

<tardis> 'sup, Edifice

The download is out. You should probably get it.

Well, this is it! The Edifice "demo." It's really a full game, in a sense - you can do quite a few runs, buy some stuff, talk to Demons, get your posterior Oblivion Fisted. At the same time, it's only a taste of the features, enemies and dungeon types that will be in the full release sometime this autumn.

I sincerely hope that you enjoy it.

Remember that I'll be leaving shortly after the 17th, so if you want me to hear your opinions, play it now! Review it! To get two runs done should take about seven hours, although there's easily ~15+ hours of gameplay in this demo (!!!).



Known Issues:
-The hub (Shrine of Equinox) is pretty hideous. Sorry!
-Demons only have one thing to chat about
-Score, and the special runs you can purchase with it, are not implemented
-When an ally is replaced upon death/Czarina, there is an odd graphical glitch with pop-ups; it will not hurt the game in any way
-Shop interface is kind of nasty, but very functional/understandable
-The Essence interface works just fine, but needs some tweaking/prettifying
-Souls are not in. That slot in the equip menu does nothing! You'll earn them in the full release as achievements, and they will be associated with specific characters

Nothing major, really! Have fun dying a lot, mmkay?

The essence bug seems to be related to the equip system, looks like the last four or so slots get emptied out for some odd reason when switching characters I presume.
!!

I will look into this. Thank you.

EDIT: Spent some time looking into it. Could not replicate it.


It's actually related to the Boosters. It happens when I'm in the status menu using items to increase my stats. I used Grapes of Wrath once on Jesse, Ersats, Carmilla; then I used Stolen Load once on Ersatz and twice on Myra. I'm pretty sure this is when it happens as I checked my Essences JUST before doing this. FYI, I was also in the In-between hub as well.

Ahhhh, you're totally right. I finally was able to replicate it.

Fixing!

Interesting. I'm curious about what could have caused that kind of bug.

Stat boosters don't show Essence-affected stats, just base stats. I do this by stripping a clone of its Essence - but not deleting it, until now.

Fixed. When everybody gets the new download notice, grab it! I'm removing the patch from the blog since it's now old.
More bugs!

Playthrough 2: (12 Floors, Insane, Reprieve ON)

Typo:
-In the Forest Area advice, Olsen says, "I beat it's actually weak to Earth;"

Overall Experience:
-Dude... The Forest Area - and I thought the ruins/bookcase floor was bad. Fuckin' Slimes hit Wish for 958 with that Water Attack. I know it's her weakness, but goddammit. (Fyi, it was one of Imp mixup battles, so I had no choice.) It get's worse as they can do 300-400 regularly on any other neutral resistance party member. One of my character's with Vanity got hit, and the recoil basically took it down to 1 health.

The miniboss and boss are cheap as hell when compared to the other bosses. They do around 300-700 something damage regularly on neutral resistence party members. Defang from the miniboss did 352 damage on Padrick. The boss, despite it's ridiculous damage, is a little managable as his weakness is easy to exploit; plus, Lava Lane with a 2.5x damage buff wrecks it. It's very high drainage capability is annoying; but hey, a boss is a boss. It's not supposed to be cakewalk so it's understandable.

So yeah, I ended up getting frustrated and just closed out midway during the plant boss. No more insane mode for me in this game. :P The buff to Blessing and Nadia's Wind-Move is MUCH appreciated! Thanks! Her usefulness has greatly increased.

I didn't experience the essence bug this time. Probably because the forest area hit me SO HARD in this run. (Refer to Playthrough 3) It's a shame cause I was having so much fun last night without the forest experience. The only reedemable factor about that floor is it's nice BG music. (Icecap Zone remix ftw)

No tier list on this run as I rage quitted way too early.

Playthrough 3: (9 Floors, Normal, Repreive ON)

Bug List:
-I was able to access the party member switch screen and menu at the very end of the beginning cutscene (where Seth get's his orb out).

-When I spend XP for skills, sometimes all of my XP is spent. For example; Nadia had 49 XP and I decided to buy Delirious Fog which is 40 XP. As soon as I purchased it, ALL of Nadia's XP was spent instead of leaving me 9 XP.

-Because Sudden Bludgeon hits an enemy twice, if the RNG kicks in and an enemy becomes confused on the first hit, the second hit will end up removing it. This is more of an annoyance then a bug really.

-The Essence bug hit once again. It happens when I'm in the status menu using items to increase my stats. I used Grapes of Wrath once on Jesse, Ersats, Carmilla; then I used Stolen Load once on Ersatz and twice on Myra. I'm pretty sure this is when it happens as I checked my Essences JUST before doing this. FYI, I was also in the In-between hub as well.

-Sometimes when I access the equip screen of a fully essenced character ALL of my character's last 3 essences are removed/deleted. I mean, they're completely gone.

Overall Experience:
-In a weird way, I think the undead miniboss (The undead gargoyle/dragon thing) needs a little buffing. It's really really easy.

-Jesse is cute/dumb muscle. Good job! It seems like he's always mad though. Is he that pissed his fathers dead?

Will put Tier List later
Wow, it seems like a lot has changed since I tested, or I just didn't run into any of this stuff somehow :| What do you mean by Reprieve, Rowan?

You get to choose whether you want to be healed or not after the first floor. IIRC, the game specifically calls it a reprieve, so yeah.

Also, the quicksave bug still exists. I just tried using it to return to the title screen and it crashed. It seems to happen randomly as I just tried quicksaving again and it worked.
