Worth getting now with 2.0 of Dungeon Masters out? I mean with regards to bugginess. I am definitely interested in it as an RPG...
Oh yes. I really enjoyed Undercroft. Got quite far in too, then stopped playing for a while and ultimately deleted as I couldn't get back into the flow. I think that is a problem with RPGs as once the flow is broken, it is quite hard to continue the game...
LOL! Yeah, I definitely know what you mean about that. I got pretty far in "The Quest," but I haven't been able to pick it back up ever since I put it down last year. C'est la vie!!
I don't really like the new graphics, much prefer the old original ones. But at least its working. Any chance of getting an option for old/new graphics?
Downloaded... The torch mechanic is annoying and overall a little lost in the game. I think I am on the second level and running out of torches...
...use FUL for a magic torch! However I'va many crashes in Choose your door, choose your fate... Fix please!
Has anyone managed to get past the second level dungeon and go on to complete this version of the game?
Still cannot access chests... I find it hard to believe that the developer keeps updating this game without addressing this totally game breaking issue since many important items are found only in chests and it is impossible to remove or add items with chests as it is... Really want this to work even though the graphics have been portly remade and the interface is really cumbersome and ugly, it's still one of the most entertaining dungeon crawlers out there. I really wish these guys knew what they were doing ~_~...
Version 2.1 has just been released. Did that fix your bug? I am still on level 2... I am not the developer.
Why can't someone make a decent version of this as it appears to be open source ? Oh and for iPhone pls if anyone with the inclination is reading !
The developer commented that they are looking into an iPhone/iPod edition earlier in the thread, quote below.
I thought the source code was in Java and the iDevices use Objective C, so the developer probably has to translate it. Now if it would be trivial to do so if it were just a textbook snippet of code, but production code is frequently full of kludges and hacks to get it to just work and ship already. I am not the developer...
After 2.1 update I still experience the following issues. 1) Cannot add/remove items in chests (game breaking bug since some essential items are in chests only, like gold coins to enter The Vault across from the Creature Cavern.) 2) Since the interface was updated you cannot see what runes you have loaded for a spell past the last two characters making it impossible to reference what spell you have pre-loaded 3) Also since the interface update I now cannot see the names or color coding for each character at the top of screen so now I cannot reference how I have the party members arranged by color. This makes it really hard to remember who is what color and whether my fireball or arrow will go down the left or right side of hall since I can't see who is who. 4) Since update creatures now leave huge while semi transparent square around them for several seconds after they die. 5) All character images (both at the top and in the magic/fight interface) are very very poorly cut out from some background and have a lot of pixel litter around them like really bad cut outs. 6) Additionally sometimes when my characters get hit, they get solid blue fill border around their face and all health/mana info is gone. 7) Numerous creature NYC models are also showing bright white floating pixels around them and just look like shoddy work. It's like there was no love put into making them look clean and this breaks the immersion considerable when you can see a bunch of junk pixels around each enemy as they approach. It's made all the worse when in low light because the white junk pixels surrounding NYC models are still full brightness :-/ Final Cmments: I really hope these issues get resolved, but as it is, I would not recommend buying this, or the sequel because they use same engine and at present it is completely broken. Sad Panda 8:-(
As anyone tried the squeal Return to Chaos it's on the App Store. Was wondering if its worth getting that. If anyone can help thank you
Both apps have severe issues DM v2.1 and RTC v1.0 have severe showstoppers. DM is progressing, but would question merit of releasing Chaos 'sequel' which is virtually identical to DM while DM has major issues. Anyone who wishes to discuss what issues I have found can contact me directly, thanks DAVE
Issues with this has stopped me buying RTC. They should get one game as near perfect as possible before releasing another
