A question and a bug

[Massot]

The question: what are the parameters for kill-streaks? I have yet to score any points in this category.

The bug: after triggering the conversation with Ambros during the mission called "Gallery of Kings", I quit the game through the menu, accepted the warning regarding the last waystone and, today, once I had reloaded the mission, not only did the game not put me in the last waystone (instead placing me at the beginning of the mission, dialogue and all), but my character had no weapons (neither at hand nor in the bottom right corner of the HUD). Restarting the mission fixed the weapon issue but, evidently, I had to play the mission again.

Edit: in the final mission, the elevator is not working; I have checked a video on the internet that shows that I am activating the correct switch and I am completely stuck. I fear I will have to replay yet another mission.

Edit: Indeed, I had to restart the mission and, yet another bug in the final mission that prevented me from actually reading the dialogue between Ambros and Cathryn, forcing me to watch a youtube video.

I will give a positive review despite the several minor and major bugs that I encountered. I eagerly look forward to Chapter 2; "Diluvian Ultra" difficulty was rather forgiving, specially because of the checkpoints seemingly behaving like Prodeus and not reloading enemy waves, I would recommend making the highest difficulty force the player to beat full encounters to give a stronger sense of urgency.

Thanks for the positive review! We're aware of a few persistent bugs and are actively working on fixing them. This weapon bug is our nemesis and trying to pin point why its happening.

The elevator glitch is something we've already addressed, so I'm not sure why it's reappearing. I'll be replacing that section with stairs to prevent it from causing a soft lock.

Thanks for the understanding. Have you played Diluvian Ultra: Awakening?

Yes, I have played "Awakening" and loved it; I recently made a thread in the Steam forums praising it. "Awakening" is what got me into playing "Chapter 1".

Level design this beautiful and mechanically intricate/interesting while offering real platforming obstacles that can, themselves, be integrated into combat is something that surpasses the bugs I encountered.

Again, I am very much looking forward to "Chapter 2".

Oh, I'll ask again: what the requirements for kill-streaks? I still have not been able to score any points in this category. However, it does not seem to affect being able to achieve "SS" ranks in the final point tally.

ah yes the kill streaks, sorry i intended to reply to this, I think you're asking about the kill streak achievement, if so i think the issue might be a previous update broke the achievements, but we have since released a patch that fixes this. Kill streaks are handled as you would normally assume they are just a simple tally up, so if not for the achievement bug they should stack up in the usual way.

Again thanks for the praises, we are intending to tighten up the game play and juice-ability in future updates so the only way is up from here on in hopefully
