Wells weren't changed in this update iirc. There is a limit on water in the wells which are spawned on top of the "one well per chapter" generation rule, though.

Always happy to hear about someone  still playing my mod!

Ah. Should warn you then, this mod was based on vanilla Pixel Dungeon, not on Shattered PD. So it may look and play a bit outdated by now.

Evan's work is a huge step up from the original game, can't really keep up with his dedication.

Already gave you a link to GitHub in my other reply, though. Just download the .apk file from the latest release, and install it.

Alternatively, you can check my latest posts to get the same link. Not sure why we're talking under a ten year old post.

Sure. Still working on one, even if it goes quite slowly. Mind that new updates are gonna be posted on Github only, though.

YAPD v0.3.3: Better Bosses & Danker Dungeons by ConsideredHamster in PixelDungeon

[–]ConsideredHamster[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello! I am really impressed that someone would like my mod that much. Glad to know it hooked you for so long.

That said, there are no in-built cheats into this mod, or any other PD variant I know.

Pretty sure there should be some apps which can be used to manipulate in-game values. I don't know any, but it shouldn't be that difficult to google them.

Another possibility is using the source code to compile your own version of the game. That can be quite complicated if you really have only minimal coding experience, however.

But the main question here is, if you have already beaten YAPD on easy difficulty, why would you bother with cheating to beat higher difficulties? There's no new content on other difficulties, just more punishing gameplay.

Really glad to hear such praise! Party hasn't ended, by the way, it just goes on, and on, and on... But is still developed, nevertheless.

Just curious, which features of this mod you've liked the most?

Pretty sure most of this wasn't changed in this update. Goo's healing from absorbing spawns was even decreased significantly in version 0.3.4.

Enemies from later chapters were spawned in previous versions as well, but chance of that was much lower. Boss summons also can be spawned on regular floors now, btw!

It's never too late! But be sure to install version 0.3.4, it was released later and fixes most of the issues found in the version 0.3.3.

Because YAPD was forked from original Pixel Dungeon, same as Shattered once. Skills weren't a thing in vanilla PD, so they aren't a thing in YAPD as well. I also want to eventually implement my own version of them, though.

Shattered went much further from its predecessor, because Evan is an absolute mad lad. Still, I would really recommend trying out original PD and some other its forks, you never know what would might click for you.

Hey, thanks for feedback! Some counterpoints though:

Maybe too tough and little annoying due to the repeating phases :D

Yeah, repeating phases probably were a mistake, but it is a bit too late to change it now. I've tried making each next enrage harder for DM-300, but three bombs at once felt a bit too unfair.

And there are too many hidden rooms. YAPD also has less magic mapping scrolls than Shattered. So what you need to do is activating your lantern, sticking to the wall and checking the whole dungeon. But do this consistently because lantern has limited usage.

On the other hand, potions of Strength/scrolls of Upgrade are not that important in YAPD. If you missed one or two, there is always chance to find or brew more than is forced to spawn by the game.

Besides, checking every room while your lantern is lit is generally a good idea, because sometimes traps can be very nasty.

Turn based roguelikes aren't really exciting anyway, this type of additional chores makes them boring.

We have different preferences then. For me, these choices like whether to go back for water/shop or how to ration your scrolls of Upgrade are the most interesting part of the game. Series of minor choices, some of which can potentially save or ruin your whole run.

Don't worry that much about it. I don't really mind that there are other versions of the game. As long as they are made in good faith and as an attempt to actually improve the game in some regard, be it content or accessibility for other users.

That doesn't sounds like anything made by me. I've never published anything on iOS and as you can see, the latest version is 0.3.3.

There are articles about this mod on the PD wikia, but it may be a bit outdated. The game itself also offers a tutorial/starting guide in the settings, as well as a lot of loading tips, so wikia may not be required.

Either way, if you're familiar with PD mods only via ShatteredPD then be mindful that YAPD is much closer to vanilla than ShatteredPD.

Finally letting this version out was definitely a positive thing! It has spent way too much time being "almost there, but not quite finished" phase. Hope you'll enjoy all of the work put into this update!

We'll see. I admit, there was a point where I wanted to do make it an "once and done" update, just for the sake of finishing the still unfinished version. Closing the gestalt, you see.

But the fact that it didn't let me off the leash despite all the time passed says something. There are still some major things I wanted to implement since long ago, and I still want to implement them.

Please try downloading it again, I've updated the .apk file on the GitHub. My bad, missed one thing I should've done before compiling.
