    Just found my most valuable piece of loot so far in Dragonweave Legwraps for the Mage, valued at 2,000,000 silver!

    Guess what? Classified.

    To those with control problems: you might want to turn off 'invert joystick' if your using a ranged character, and you should turn on 'floating joystick'. You might want to toggle other options to suit your play style too.

    To those deciding whether to buy the game: the game has a TON of loot, no kidding, there are chests and barrels EVERYWHERE, where you can get scraps of food and other things inside, and also chests are around the place with nice goodies- not to mention the MASSIVE variety of weapons and armours. The game is really fun, and definitely worth the low price, it's basically a steal.
    If your wanting the game to last, I would recommend the warrior or archer, because the mage is really over powered right now.
    Then again, the game is so good, I have started multiple saves with different classes :)

    Does anyone know how to
    gain favor with the Kobolds in the desert town? I keep getting the same dialog. Also, what do I need to open the doors for the Desert Palace? Further, I've found a bug with the Old Crab, after sparing him his dialog changes to "Don't create any trouble around here" and your response becomes "NO OPTION FOUND!"

    i think you need to go to the other island (the one that is white) and help out this kobold there. Once you help him he says he will write a letter to his tribe at Zahaka (let's just imagine that's the name of the other island). Also, after sparing the crabs life, I went and talked to Jinko, and then talked to Mellar just to check him out. He said "I'm so thirsty" and my only option was to leave. I then went to see if the crab was still there (which it was), the crab then said "I'm so thirsty" just like Mellar did, and my only option was 'NO OPTION FOUND'. The is obviously a bug here, but it doesn't seem to be game breaking. (Hey does anyone know what happens if you kill the crab? I'm too nice to kill him :p)
    To anyone visiting the white, icy island, make sure you have at least one dragon wing with you, because there is a bug where
    if you go down the well where Maria is being held prisoner, once you go back up the ladder you spawn inside the well, unable to get out. I tested this a few times, and I kept getting stuck. I managed to get out one time without teleporting/using a dragon wing by wiggling the joystick in circles- but chances are you are stuck there.

    Also, there is a bug that quests will not be recorded in the quest log after finishing the main quest, and I'm not sure if its on purpose or not, but none of the item containers (chests, boxes, barrels) have any items in them- except one which held a
    frost bow
    . Maybe the devs just haven't added the items yet.
    Have fun!

    Just found out another bug.
    the thirsty guy in zahakaland that is possessed by a spira (Mellar) needs this magical potion, but you can give the potion to him infinite times- which makes him vomit up the spira infinite times (if you wish lol). Then if you go to Jinko he asks "did it work?" And then goes on to tell you about the silver skin stuff again.

    It seems like the devs have out a lot of effort into the first island- that is for sure. I hardly came across any bugs.
    But the other islands, and content meant to be completed after the main campaign need to be touched up. A lot of containers are empty, there are a lot of bugs. Some characters repeat their dialogue, and some even have dialogue that is not even theirs.
    Although the other islands are playable, I wouldn't out it past you if you waited for a patch to come out so you can enjoy them to the fullest.

    I think if you
    spare the crab then you are judged Not Guilty by Alyphon in the oasis dungeon.

    Also, I've found the
    cave of instadeath with ridiculous amount of enemies right as you teleport in via a crystal. The crystal can be found throu a path of cracked walls in the desert island.

    I guess many will disagree with me, but if the devs are listening,
    I'd really love icade compatibility. It would be awesome playing this on my 8-bitty. :)

    I love my iCade and 8-bitty but i must admit i cant see this having icade compatibility. How will the twin sticks work ? be difficult to fire in a direction wont it ?

    Cant see how this would work easily with the 8 bitty.

    Unfortunately we most likely won't be supporting any controllers for 9th Dawn due to the way that engine is set up. The only current controller support is for the PC version which allows you to use xbox360/ps3 controller- however, you still have to use your keyboard and mouse for some things.

    This is a concern of ours and we will most likely be supporting bluetooth controllers in our future projects.

    Sorry to disappoint, but better things are to come :)

    Maybe d-pad to move and hold a button down +d-pad to aim?

    But the devs just answered so its a moot point.

    The ValorWare forum is a treasure trove of sometimes cryptic and sometimes hopeful ideas.

    Here is an unfortunate March 2013 memo about the Valorware team splitting up stunding further 9th Dawn work but one member now focusing on other projects under the banner:http://welkstore.com/forum/index.php?/topic/314-state-of-affairs/

    There are occassional vague bits about a spiritual sequel to 9th Dawn called Black Frontier (i.e. "...As I continue to work on Black Frontier, I am learning new ways to improve 9th Dawn's engine here and there, so it may not be too far of a stretch to gradually fix and replace spitty parts of the 9D engine.")

    Here's a 9th Dawn post-expansion development goal list: http://welkstore.com/forum/index.php?/topic/340-post-expansion-todo/

    Something is very wrong. I have died four times in four minutes. I took the mage, and all the snakes are just killing him...

    Equipt equiptment; when you start a new game you come into the world naked but somehow with belongings in your inventory. If that fails run and gun.

    The developer(s) should consider adding a pop up message to indicate these things to new players. :confused:
