Okay, modifiers should display on an enemy even after you've killed them. Let me know about any weirdness. Not sure if this is a normal experience but it definitely was impossible for me to kill him at level 11 before the timer ran out. Any tips much appreciated! He's definitely a jerk, I'll say tha...

I have been wondering one thing (not that it will apply to me anytime soon) ... to be in running for the too hard scoring, when do I need to equip the talisman? Anytime before first patrol? Yeah, you can do your pulls and fiddle with your equipment and stuff first. It's specifically keyed into in-g...

I know what you're trying to do, Cris, and it will not work! You cannot stop the Too Hard hype train, it has no brakes! It really is great, though. I've been using mechanics against some of the enemies that normally don't come up in my runs, these things called "Combat Items" and "Op...

Res...ting? Yeah, it's been a while since I've done any of that.

Heh heh heh.

Woo! Glad you're liking it.

I agree with everyone else here - being able to buy from the WoK from stars in deep storage would be ideal for balance but difficult to code. It'd end up with completely rewriting the wok and the donation code. Because, as it stands right now, the stars from donations go directly to inventory. Whic...

Would it be easy to implement a 'search by recently listed' option in the Player Mall? I'm not sure how much use it would have, but it would be sure interesting to see what people are selling :) It should be possible to show the most recently updated items. I like how uncluttered the mall interface...

I've been thinking about this a lot (actually, even before this thread came up). The fact that you can donate for them in-run effectively makes them free pulls already, so it shouldn't cause any problems. It does feel weird, though. In any case, the silver and gold star are now flagged as free pulls...

I need to be... exceedingly careful with how IotMs are handled. That said, it's a pretty cool idea.

It's just playing with fire, so I'm probably going to shy away from it.

Should be good now. Enjoy your snowguard

That's the same purchase message as the golden knight's bracelet. Sorry about that. I blame wizards! The correct text is: The shopkeeper asks if you'd like the package deal with being raised by rattlesnakes and your significant other being kidnapped by a villain who taunts you every step of the way...

Hoyifung (no forum acct) is wondering if it would be possible to get a non-donation talisman with access to the Abandoned Chemistry Lab, or is that going to remain restricted to donation items? The plan was originally for those to be solely for that round of donation items. But it wouldn't be the w...

I adventure in the space station so I'm happy they aren't affected, no one wants to fight a prismatic robot lol (impossible fight) Impossible or impossibly awesome? :D Looked around and it looks like there's some terrific retcons to be had :P Glad you're enjoying it! The ones in ancient crypts (and...

They might steal your equipment , confuse your sidekick, or shut down an entire strategy. Will I actually lose equipment? Or they just make us unequip it during the fight? If I do actually lose equipment, do they also steal iotm? They can't actually steal donation items, no. As for the rest, what t...

I decided to take a look at it before committing to a retcon. All I can say is so far it looks both delightful and unforgiving. "Delightful and unforgiving" is a great description of what we were going for. There were definitely times in testing, even as a fully tricked-out character, whe...

We’re doing something a bit different with the yearly talismans for 2015. There was a request a while back for a Wok item that made the game harder instead of easier. There ended up being four instead, inspired by some of the hardest games from our childhood. These talismans have the usual positive ...

Thanks, Harry!

Awesome but...you missed an epoch chance of naming it Wings of Time . Still, the whole idea resembles it, coincidence? Chrono Trigger? Never heard of it. Definitely not one of my three favorite games ever. The real question is "what else did Kinak love Chrono Trigger so much he thought was an ...

How can I argue with puns like these? Added the last thing I really, really wanted to add to the Eon drive.

Obviously, I'm always open to reports that I screwed it up :lol: Last Nostronomian doesn't seem to be working. He doesn't give a leaving message, and just joins me again when I go back to Renegade Robots. I've never actually seen it before; just going off what the wiki says should be happening. Goo...

Thanks to everyone for your questions

That being said, I'd kinda like it if we could see the companion. Could maybe get some fun/silly combinations. Alright, I deny your slippery slope argument, but I'll accept "because it's funny." If nothing else because I chuckled at "Bob and your kangaroo" so often during testin...

Interesting... I wonder if the mechapinata horde responds properly to the mechapinata companion, and how the first phase of the Last Nostronomian quest responds to the revamp. Those I remember touching, so I think we're okay. Obviously, I'm always open to reports that I screwed it up :lol: Cheers! ...

Indeed! Should be good now, thanks!

Can we have companions show up on character pages, along with sidekicks? Could help us know if we should buff someone with a companion skill/item. I'd rather not. By the same logic, I'd also need to include what buffs each player has on, which I'd rather avoid. For what it's worth, I'm pretty sure ...

Sorry about that! The oily egg should be good now. If you are logged in and it's still not working, log out and back in.

Only the capped bonuses are displayed on the character sheets. You can get as much +item as you want

The contest is officially closed! Thank you everyone for your entries, I chuckled a few times copying them all down and look forward to digging through during the judging.

I'll be announcing them during the next podcast.

With the close of the Enemy Message Contest, it's time for another casting of the pods. Along with announcing the winners of the previously mentioned contest, I'll also be answering any questions people feel like posting in this thread. Edit: Answering them here , as it turns out. This is emphatical...

Sure, I'm level 1 and this is a level 1 foe, but it seems there should be a floor value. Ice Sculpture will also return +0 against the Super-Ultimate Frisbee Player. Should be good now. For what it's worth, I think that's actually their original behavior. It just never came up often (only every few...

Having spaded some foes out there I'm pretty sure that the sidekick/companion boost used to be applied to the actual value of chips the foe dropped. Yeah, it was just rolled in with everything else for the final chip drops. Now I've noticed that it is being applied to the middle value between the c...

This is a great idea, I really like having a sidekick and a companion. Thanks! The other thing that's nice is that it'll be way easier for us to add more companions in the future. However there does seem to be a problem when you have the Computer pharmacist as a sidekick, in that it comes up as bot...

On the character page (and the public sheet), only the sidekick is listed if you have both. Only the sidekick is listed at all, yeah. I removed the no-longer-accurate "companion" label there. Putting your sidekick away doesn't fix this, which means there's no way to dismiss companions. Ch...

It's been a standing issue for a long time that nobody uses temporary sidekicks (aka companions). Despite having dozens of items and five skills to their name, they never get their day in the sun *sniff* Until today. As part of a major rewrite of the sidekick code, we've split sidekicks and temporar...

But it's been a while since we've had a creative contest and it seems like a shame to waste the opportunity. ...you can probably see where this is going. The Target...
