    No bugs so far, I think the difficulty level is perfect as well

    That's great! So I'll leave the level alone. Thanks everyone for your help.

    Increasing some stats permanently might be a good idea. See if you like it. No need to implement it unless you really like it very much.
    e. g. asking August Personage (or anybody else for that matter) to tell you something and having Personality raised by 10 as a result. Yes, that's a lot, but Personality is a stat that's easy to overlook.
    You could also make DeMenchev permanently increase Dexterity by 3 in the first text and Intelligence by 3 in the second text. If you're not going to lengthen the dialogue, then you can shorten it by removing the phrases I wanted to replace.
    Then maybe give Huan or JT in Martial Arts Academy a topic that raises Light Weapon skill by 30 for free once. There should be a line in the text "Don't be afraid to miss out."
    That should please high-level players very much and it's fair ;)
    There's a reason why high-level players don't seek external sources of happiness like weapons, what matters to them is internal joys like stats :)

    I just sent the files to Elendil for TestFlight, DeMenchev, before I saw your post. I think the new weapon and armor additions are enough. There are books to raise stats. If there's a new bugfix, I'll consider adding some but not unless there's a new reason to send Elendil new files. Thanks.

    Town Portal should work now.
    The Yin and Yang shields and helms can be used now.
    Iron Emperor's Helm is now 30 AC.
    Monster Agony's attack upped slightly.
    Wu Witch no longer poisons you and poison effect removed from spell Gu.
    The Crafting Spirit will now talk to you if you don't have what you need to craft the Iron Emperor's Helm.
    Typo fixed.
    Some door chat and shops added in Vermilion Palace area.
    I hid a hammer on a window close to the beginning.
    Heavenly Boots AC raised to 16.
    Bamboo Britches AC raised to 12.
    Fashionable Britches AC raised to 15
    Some items added on shelves in the Ancient Temple:
    Immaculate Armor
    Staunch Dragon Shield
    Ring of Health
    Gauntlets of Safety
    Hit damage of some bows raised.
    Cat's Tail is no longer sold in a shop but hidden.

    I have found a minor glitch that can be kinda annoying. The button to toggle world map and other buttons in the character screen are weird. What I mean by this is I will click it and it will acknowledge I pressed it but it will click back without me touching. It is hard to explain. It is as if they are over sensitive? Idk, is anyone else having this problem or is it just me (probably is#)

    That sounds like an engine glitch. You can write [email protected] to report it. Tell him what device you're using.

    I don't know if changing Animation speed in Settings would help. This is something I have no control over. If you'd like me to write him, I'm happy to, but I think he would have questions you'd be in a better position to answer. That doesn't happen to me on ipad1.

    I think we have a release. Any small problems can be fixed later.

    Thanks, everyone, for all your help! Cheers!

    If you tested (a few of you didn't-Elendil can tell by TestFlight logs) and you would like a promo code for the released game, please write [email protected]. He will send you one as soon as the game is in the AppStore. It has to go through the review process so it will take a little while but if you let him know, he'll be happy to send you one as soon as they're available to him.

    Again, thanks very much for your help!

    Great! I haven't gotten very far in the game but I'm enjoying it so far! Can't wait to keep playing and a promo code would be fantastic. Thanks so much for the opportunity to beta test!!

    That's ok. Just send Elendil an email if you'd like a promo code and if you find any bugs or have any questions, let me know. I can always fix something after release. : ) There's always some little thing.

    Oh my, just found out how much better the cloaks are in the latest version! Well, we can rest assured the standalone game is 100% playable from start and there's not much room for trouble. It's a good solution, a lot better than leaving a superior weapon that won't be of enough help.
    I hope everyone will enjoy this level of difficulty, with both light and heavy armor being great.

    You added a lot. :).

    The House of Awe. :)

    Thanks.

    Yes, testing is over. Submitted to Apple for review. Viking expansion in February-March. Thanks, everyone.

    @thelokimage-- you can test the Viking expansion in February-March if you like.

    Loki was a Norse god. He'll possibly figure in that expansion.

    Thor's Hammer.

    @Gondel516-- thanks!

    Woah, I didn't realize it was already out. As always, thanks for making expansions for this amazing game! Oh by the way, it's fine to delete the expansion after its enabled in the base game, right?

    Thanks! Yes, it's released. There's already a thread here in released games. If anyone tested and wants their promo code, please write [email protected].

    And yes, once you enable the expansion, you can delete it.
