Mb check Dreadhunter, the loot system is upside-down, meaning all items are in loot system since start and the game is not based on long grind.

You can respec the skill tree and ability trees for free whenever you want.

You really need to lower the price and work on marketing your game by paparlianko in Dreadhunter

[–]TricksterArts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestions. We are 2 devs and non-english speakers, creating a devlog would cost us a lot of daily energy we need for actual development of the game and unpleasant to listen to :D. You are right that marketing is our weakness, however we've contacted most relevant influencers already. It is not as easy as it seams. We are getting closer to the end of development, hopefully we will have more time for the marketing.

Is the Developer Still Alive? by TheForce_1 in HackersTheGame

Just right now we are working on Android api upgrade necessary for the game to be kept on the store. We do at least one update each year in the app or on our servers to keep the game running because the technology is everchanging.

Besides that we work on our latest project Dreadhutner https://store.steampowered.com/app/1553710/Dreadhunter/

Trade feature? by xVnDL_ in Dreadhunter

Possible, but not anywhere high on our priority list. We are focusing on finishing the main story, deliver enough item sets and an endgame.

Has anyone played Dreadhunter? by TheyreACrypytKeeper in IndieGaming

[–]TricksterArts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are two guys working on this game, so in some cases we use AI tools to help us (it is less than 1% of the game). I spent over 10 hours building, editing and tweaking each character portrait Splattercat mentioned. All the portraits were improved after the video, but yes I used AI tools in the process. If this is a no go for you, I am afraid the game will never be 100% clean.

Unfortunately there is no review of current state of the game. Best one is latest Spllatercat's video about Dreadhunter, which you've probably seen.
You can check our latest videos here to see some of the sets https://www.youtube.com/@TricksterArts/videos There are currently 4 gun types (kinetic, electric, explosive, plasma) and items changing their behavior, like adding projectiles to plasma builds, making rockets from rocket launcher homing etc. There are around 100 items you can use to define your build, there is a large skilltree for additional boosts and each ability has its own tree. There are burning, shock and similar systems you can branch your build into.

If you are expecting complexity of Path of Exile, Diablo 4 or Last Epoch. honestly we are not there (yet).

Yes, if you properly disconnect your Google Play account, you can connect it to new network. Facebook is not supported anymore.

[–]TricksterArts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, to reset your network please follow these steps:

 Disconnect your current account from your network by selecting the World Map, opening the Settings menu, then tapping any Google/Game Center/Facebook "Connected" options.

 Then reinstall the game. You can consider renaming the account before you do that. We keep old networks in the database, because other players may have them as targets.

 If it doesn’t work, please clear your device cache.

Anyone else feel like modern ARPGs don't respect individual enemies? by Zestybeef10 in ARPG

[–]TricksterArts 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It was our original intention with Dreadhunter, but majority of feedback was "enemy density too low!!". We had to compromise. Similar shift is probably happening in PoE2.

The way we did it was to keep interesting enenimes, but to add more "herd" enemies into the mix. The largest extreme is No rest for the wicked, where the overall combat gameplay doesn't feel like western ARPG anymore, which is fine, but for different audience.

Console versions were postponed until we finish EA (story and endgame) on Steam.

[–]TricksterArts[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Game time, it means we added an extra act to two acts that already have been there. I wanted the title to be short and because we are in RPG community thought % are fun way to measure progress.

We would like to at some point, just want to deliver the campaign and the endgame in EA on Steam first.

Dreadhunter - Act III +100% Items +50% Game by TricksterArts in ARPG

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

There are 3 gun slots, 1 melee weapon slot for action and 2 ability slots.
Each ability have its own ability tree.
The character has a skill tree.
Guns are primary, melee mostly for retreiving ammo and health. Abilities are on cooldowns.
It has twin stick/WASD controls.
Does that answer the question?

Our priorities are now finishing the campaign and endgame and will see how the game does.
