>_> Still running 0.6.7 , should I download 0.7.3 now, or is 0.7.4 -just- around the corner?
Would love to download now, -but- have to use phone => limited data , would rather not download the entire client twice in two days

I am waiting for the final main menu, artist said should make it before end of month. Anyway, tomorrow will do another update since I checked the changes I have done and there are some important ones (to fix some potential bugs in vendors for example). So please wait 8-9h and I should do version 0.7.4 even if I don't have the main menu yet

Voilà, just made the 0.7.4 update. The next one will have the official main menu, but I don't think too many changes to gameplay (except any potential bugs left).

Thanks for the new game. A bit confused over the equipment and clothing options. You can buy new: hats, boots, etc for each character. But believe it is mentioned that there isn't really a stat improvement for these. The weapons comparison for sale items to current inventory didn't appear to be large improvements either. The former guard sister can get a weapon that is indicated to be a good improvement over her existing weapon. But didn't see what was offered as being an improvement for the other 2 sisters. Am I not following the indicated weapons value being sold properly? Also, the witch sister collects some item left after the eyeballs fight. She says that she could sell this, but I haven't been able to sell it or see it in the inventory. Is this a bug or is there not the opportunity to sell this item?

Yes the armors don't have stats themselves but you can put gems in them (I think this is explained in the game?).
Each vendor sells stuff for each sister: the blacksmith for Kira, at the docks for Joanne, and fredrick for Thalia. The stats in this game are on a smaller scale but the weapons are different, there are some which are faster, other that give more damage, then 2 "super" weapons that have overall higher stats.
I don't remember what they get in the eyeball fight, but if it's a potion I need to change the texts, since from the last update you can't resell usable items (potions or bombs). Everything else can be sold instead.

This might be only on my comp, but when trying to use a potion in the first battle none of them were coming up...

I just tried and works. If you haven't equipped them in the screen before the robbery mission, this could happen though. I think maybe it could also happen if you do the pickpocketing and get caught. But apart those two specific cases, it should work

Never remembered my former user or mail address again - but hey! Random user names FTW!

A few unsorted annotations:

Catacombs - that the consumables' inventory is reset bugs me, it's one unnecessary micro-management step.

Military - 6 or so duels in a row in one room. As it was tedious/boring this was the first and only time I chose one of those robbing missions.

Nobles - Vault exchange flavour text should be only displayed once, as the room is often passed multiple times while exploring

Warrior's Blessing - feels very weak, 10% barely settles one of nearly all anti effects (bleeding, poison, freeze, ...)

Backstab - very/too powerful (cheap, fast, -4 armour is _significant_)

The consumables doesn't reset in robbery, but only in catacombs? I think might be a bug then, I can't remember a reason why I wanted to keep it that way only for catacombs

The military scene with duel happens once, if you mean the fighting pit with the dogs, there are 3 combats in sequence. Anyway that's a common problem of all robbery missions, what I've learned from this game is to NEVER have randomized RPG combat anymore. I had made like 50 different rooms, with a lot of randomized variants (one time the thieves could flee, another could counter attack, another time again a ghost would appear, etc). But it doesn't matter the amount, because since it's randomized, there's the chance the player will see maybe the same event 2-3 times in a row and be annoyed Unfortunately nothing I can do to change this right now

Regarding Warrior's Blessing and Backstab, will do some tests and maybe tweaks thanks

Every time one buys an adventurer package the inventory is reset.

I mean the duels with The Shakal, The Dark, The Killer (invented names, forgot the real ones) - multiple times in one military mission, even in the same room. I think I may have save games somewhere if you're interested.

while randomizing the mission create a list of already chosen rooms and if the Random Number God is in bad mood and creates a given room multiple times throw the result out of the window in invoke the generator again.


and one more thing:
it is cruel (CRUEL!) to allow paralyze and chained effects with a duration of one round. either make the lower limit two rounds or define 1 turn as a misfire (i.e. no effect)
