DRAKONAIS'S PROFILE

Congrats on getting this version ready! I'm looking forward to checking it out.

Hi all, I've been working on a game called Second Death for about three years now and it's very close to release. I've already put it on Steam Greenlight and received a lot of feedback from the users there. One of the main complaints is that it uses the well-known Mack tiles, which makes it immediately appear to be a generic clone, and could potentially discourage player interest. Check out the trailer and you can see what I mean:



While I think the tiles are fine, I know they're overused and would love to have a talented spriter create some replacements to give the game its own style. Since the game is 99% complete, I can write an exact list of the tiles and sprites required. I don't have a huge budget, but I would be glad to work out a good price for this admittedly sizable overhaul to compensate for the work.

For a quick idea of the scope: Second Death has 7 environments, with ground/water tiles and unique static sprites (rocks, plants, etc). A side goal of this overhaul is to darken the palette a bit -- another critique of the game is that the custom red/black noir scenes clash with the brightly colored Mack tiles, and I agree.

If you think you can help with the last step of this nearly finished project, please reply below. Thanks!

Yeah I'm wondering if I should make Adrenaline usable by spending HP if your AP is low. I know it's hard to get enough AP, especially if you're also using the Rush ability.

All of those are battle skills you can use by pressing the top button when it's your turn to attack. I suppose I should call them 'Battle Skills' instead of 'Manuals' since that's a lot more descriptive!

Thanks for the bug report! Extremely strange, since obj_display_pickup_info and obj_start_controller have nothing to do with each other. You said this error happens right after battle? Does any item drop first?

Great to hear you were able to get more familiar with the game. It's definitely not easy, glad to hear you were able to finish it.

Sorry for the level 11 cap, I needed some extra time to make sure the talents beyond that were working properly. Game releases in January, hope you'll check it out!

Thanks for commenting -- I've heard this a lot, so in the next version the Horrors will have 50% less HP. Enemies will also be more likely to drop weapons and armor if they haven't dropped one yet. Hope that makes the first couple nights easier to survive.
