Just a question

[El Grande Cajones]

What will be different from the browser version?

[garin]

The aim of the remastered version was to keep the feel and gameplay of the original, but there are some changes and new options:

- Support for multiple resolutions and full-screen
- Higher-resolution artwork
- 'Softcore' modfier (no defeat penalty)
- Automatically sell items instead of discarding them (optional)
- Option to use 'true hit' accuracy calculations (more forgiving to the player)
- Steam Cloud support for saved games
- Minor bug fixes

Thank you. I beat it on Kongregate years ago. I'll have to give it a try again.

This looks like an easy in fun time killer.

I reward infinate dungeon games (when I can).

Maybe have a workshop for custom portraits people could put up.

Update, just finished playing it and it is like playing Zork with Graphics! Best 5$ spent this year.!!

When is Godfall coming?

Oh garin, good to see you here and one of your games too, played the web game back in 2008 and really liked it, been waiting for your newest game for few years.
Need achievements for this one tho... =/

Beta is starting at the end of this month for Kickstarter backers. It's still my main focus, believe me.

Godfall looks sweet, i'll be grabbing that when you release it.

Where's the new series of Monsters' Den?

[knuddelholic]

Observation:
When a warrior carries a sword and a shield, a double click on a two-handed weapon does not switch the weapon. Instead I am forced to remove both items manually and then I can put the two-handed weapon on.

Suggestion:
It's not a bug but a suggestion how to make the game a bit smoother by reducing lots of back and forth with the mouse.

When being on the inventory screen you have to keep clicking between item and different characters to compare item values with worn items to decide to switch.

The compare window with the worn item and the new one is nice. But it still requires to move back and forth which slows the pace of the game a little down.

It would be lovely if the item slots from all party members who are allowed to use the item could be visible togethr with the new item info window and the switch cold be done right from that selection windows. The screen should just have enoughs space in case the item can be used by all four party members.

At the moment all the back and forth with the mouse is messing a bit with the pace of the dungeon crawl. Maybe this idea could help?

@knuddelholic
The game is provided 'as is'. It's an old game from '08 and the developer is currently working on the next Monster's Den "Godfall" (which hopefully hits store late this year).

There's an intermediary Monster's Den version called "Chronicles" though, which has a ton of improvements over "Book of Dread", released on flash gaming platforms (Kongregate, Armorgames), that means not on Steam.

[knuddelholic]

I didn't know about this game until its release date on Steam were I was intrigued enough to buy it right away.
Thank you very much for th4at helpful information. There's so much going on, it's difficult to see everything.
I will have to check it out when I find the time for it.

Hope you're still doing okay.

Have a Suggestion though

You could splice up a News announcement on the MD:BoD game about the ongoing development on latest iteration in the Monster's Den series 'Godfall', which would be going
Beta Q3 - Q4; possibly EA Q4 - Q2; and possible release Q2 of 2017
(or leave out possible dates altogether).

That News then goes on the Store page of your Book of Dread, which people will immediately see when they browse to it. The effect being that they now know this isn't your only game and that they can expect you to not alter/update the BoD much, because you're working on the next one.

At this time, the BoD game is a teaser for Godfall - which is perfectly fine. Use it. People that have played BoD (and possibly Chronicles) should have a much better time playing Godfall afterall. It can only get better, no? Going from a genius, but minimalist concept to more advanced systems with a genius fundamental basis (I'm using 'genius' from a developer's point-of-view).

One difference I found is THAT IT DOES NOT LAUNCH at all...
