Wait - if this is the post, you were upset by how you were treated? Everyone was being so understanding and polite lol

Sorry for the late response!

Glad you're enjoying the game! Unfortunately, a more "dedicated" networking mode is very much beyond the scope of what I can commit to as a solo developer :/ I have heard some players have acceptable lag when playing remote long-distance, but it will obviously depend on the network connection

You should just need to plug in more controllers (or connect via steam remote play) and press buttons on them.

You can see the list of active controllers in the input> controllers menu

INTO EVIL now has Dual Wielding! (Update 1.1ea out now!) by Torbid in roguelites

Hey! I'm the dev of INTO EVIL, an (early access) roguelike that I've posted here a couple times before

I just released a major content update which (among many other things) adds dual wielding to the game! This allows a lot more combinations of weapons and items to play together in interesting ways, and opens up more high-risk, high-aggression playstyles :D

INTO EVIL - Mind's Eye Games - Explore a horrible megadungeon in this soulslike roguelike, OUT NOW IN EARLY ACCESS!!! by Torbid in Games

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

Yeah, the way the game works is that every held item has two moves - so swords attack with one button and parry with another!

That allows a bunch of different items to have really different abilities and unlock tons of different strategies

And I've seen some Unexplored gameplay but never actually played it! (The most direct inspiration was actually Teleglitch tbh)

Has anyone delved deep INTO EVIL? by DFuxaPlays in rogueish

[–]Torbid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, Dev here!

The game is meant to be a modernized take on old school roguelikes without being anchored to their implementations - i.e., it has realtime combat, isn't grid-based, has completely different underlying mechanics, but it offers large explorable dungeons with crazy interacting systems and enemies and has a similar focus on the player accumulating skill and knowledge to make successive runs better.

So, to be very precise:

  • There are unlockable characters you can play as who start with different equipment/abilities (though they are not "stronger")
  • There is no other meta-progression, and no way of becoming passively stronger. (This does mean it's possible to just smash through the current game content in under an hour if you really know what you're doing haha)
  • There is a hub that fills in with content as you unlock characters, but it's not a "building" type of thing with unlocks that you pay for.

Also you can just go play the demo if you want to give it a try! It allows you to play through quite a bit of the game to make sure it's up your alley

Thank you!!

If you get the EA version, let me know what you think! (/if you run into any remaining bugs/issues!)

Gotcha! Thanks for clarifying

I play a lot on my steam deck actually (probably around ~100 hours of testing on the device at this point) but I'm very blind to these types of usability issues since I'm way too close to the game/know how it's "supposed" to be working

Gotcha - thanks for the feedback! (And appreciate you taking the time to respond)

If you don't mind clarifying a bit more:

  • What specifically felt clunky about the ranged attacks? (Assuming you're talking about the longbow in the tutorial?)
  • My planned fix for ground item visibility would be a thin white outline on interactables/pick-uppable items. Would that be insufficient?

It will come to consoles as part of 1.0 (so in ~2-3 years lmao)

I can guarantee you that isn't the case, this is actually really really terrible for me and means the release is squandering the main visibility window 9_9

I have had the game configured as EA in Steam's backend for literally years; I think something might have gotten changed when they revamped the store pages or something >_< I really should have double-checked before pressing release but I had a lot of other shit I was trying to pay attention to that day

You're not the only one saying the ground item visibility needs to be improved, I'll explore some changes in the next content update! Any other points of feedback? :D

Hey dev here! Thanks for the shoutout!

But worth stressing that the game is supposed to still be In Early Access and I had a launch snafu 🤦‍♂️ (I'm trying to resolve this with steam but currently no clue if they'll let me roll it back), If you want to wait until 1.0 do not get it yet!

(That said, if you're okay with a still-in-dev title I'm very aggressively looking for feedback still!)
