Since I'm going out for several hours now, thought to do a 0.8.11 update fixing the bugs found so far!
edit: while uploading power was cut off (crazy thunderstorm here) so if the download doesn't work try to redownload it again

Humm. This is odd, I started from the beginning of Act 2 with 0.8.11, went to the Lugal-territory first.... After delivering the invitation, there's no green arrow to get away from there (there was a green arrow before the fight). Maybe I used one of those funny shortcuts to get out of there on the first round in 0.8.10.
Also, sewer shortcuts from Galenna to Gamesh and I think Kiduu to Galenna are still there.
I might've caught a tiny typo when our jolly heroes step into the market district. Riley says, "Dingirrans aren't the best trader in the world for nothing." Shouldn't 'trader' either be in plural, 'traders', or is there word missing after it, eg. "the best trader nation in the world"?

Should be "traders".
My bad.

I tried to install the beta, but when I try to open the RAR file, I get an error message saying that the archive is either in an unknown format or damaged and I can't extract the files. Is anyone else having this problem?

Ixionos - corrupted download, try again (sometimes happens).
Traders is my fault, I added that line
The Lugal worked like that even before: they're the only one that don't give you any item to grant you a free passage, so you need to fight the mercenaries first to be able to exit the district. Before you could use the shortcuts, but they were supposed to show up only later in the story. So is correct as it is now (of course if the battles are impossible in Nightmare, then is another thing).

Regarding enemy AI - Anima said that could make me a different system so I can tweak the AI better. Right now enemies have some fixed predefined behaviors, with the new system in theory I could add unlimited skills/conditions. For example an enemy "buffer" that only buffs allies instead of attacking, etc. When this is available I might redo some Boss enemies in this act, but not others. I hope that he can finish it for Act3 anyway
Well it shouldn't be long now. Just got back from my first exam and the last is already at Thursday. So after that we can brew together a few new terrors, or brewing terror brewing kits.

Cool, I'm eager to work on the new AI so some boss/fights will be very NASTY

Wow this is serious, Anima used a smiley
Riley's nukes seem a little oddly themed. There's scared, slowed, weakened, and... shattered, which is like the same as scared. Shouldn't the last one cause tired?

Alrighty, thanks for the info. Fear not, nothing's impossible!

Ah actually should be Confused. His nukes in practice don't cause DoT like the Druid (Frozen, Burning, etc) but the "secondary" negative conditions only
will change on next update

Yes I meant confused
But these Kiduu pikemen. Nothing annoys me like they do.
Hello, I'm a Kiduu pikeman. I can deliver a decent melee blow that will force a position swap no matter which row I hit and will poison the target. It will reduce my SP when I use it but that's mostly for fun as I can use it even with no SP.
That being said I restarted after 0.8.11 so I haven't exactly explored the entire act for annoyances.

By the way, probably not an easy fix but. If you assign enough stats to unlock a trait, you can't get that trait that level. Like say I'm 1 con short of a trait, plus the skill point of course. I level up, get that last point of con, but I still can't assign the skill point to it. Need to wait 3 more levels

Uhm I suppose everyone else managed to make it work? maybe is some connection issue? Try this direct link:

Ah actually the traits should be automatic but now that I think about it, I'm not sure I coded that
if you can send me that save I'll make sure it unlocks when you reach the required stats

Automatic? You mean as soon as you have the necessary stats, you have the trait?
If not, the thing is I don't actually "have" the required stats because I haven't locked in that +con, and there's no way to do that without finishing the level up by picking a skill. We'd need a button to confirm our attributes without finishing the level up. I think I only got Rowinda far enough to have this situation and then I decided against wanting the trait anyway so I can't say if automatic traits are really working.

Jul 12, 2014
Yes as soon as you met the requirements you unlock it.
I am not sure why we need a button to confirm the attributes ?
Also, maybe is not clear, but you can have more than one trait if you met the requirements

Getting a corrupted zip download :/ bonus content peachy but the link for the game itself takes a few minutes to D/L at 10Mb/s o.0, then it only does a partial extraction stating zip is corrrupt (all the libraries are there just not the exe)

From the games.winterwolves link or even the bestanimegames.com one I posted a few minutes ago (scroll up)?

OK I think is a CDN problem then, since I just tried here and worked. Probably on some points (depending on your geolocation) wasn't mirrored correctly, will "repurge" the CDN again. Meanwhile you can just use that other link
