Cursed Lands version 0.8.9

Yes, it just showed up again. Shows up every 3 days, I think. Let me know if you need a save.

No I already fixed it, was a simple "kraken_defeated=True" missing!
I made the Debilitate tweak and it's fun (superquick skill, different from the others and more useful than before to drain some enemies SP).
I think it's time for a new update

harr, I love it - this skill works like no other and plays differently.

It does present a bit of a problem though, in that attacking so quickly means you can destroy the opponents' defense stat very quickly.

Issue: I reached lv30. There are no more skills left, I can't exit level up screen because I have to choose a skill.

good point, I began a new game and don't do enough damage to shred armour.

I laughed out loud reading this. one of the funnier bugs (that is if you're unaffected) : D

Yes another user on FB told me about the level 30 bug Of course you reached that because of the Kraken bug but still you should be able to go on. I think I need to slow down the level gains a bit in the final game though.
As for Debilitate, yes I need to slow it down a bit (in this game most skill have a base delay of 15, so 8 is VERY fast) and maybe also have it do less damage, instead of 50% even 25% maybe (the main purpose should be to reduce the target's SP).

[jack1974]

I've fixed the bug in a "retroactive" way - changed the level up code so you don't get too many skillpoints but also checks if you have more than the one you can spend will delete it, so you can go on past this screen. Also made the unlearned skills gray because when there was just 1 skill left was taking me several second to find the button to click (most people will just use auto-level up but...).

I definitely need to tweak the XP amount though, you're not supposed to reach level 30 already in act2!

I am also going to lower the Debilitate speed a bit considering the other skills (as said all the basic skills have 15 delay as base) and also lower damage otherwise you destroy enemy defenses too quickly

p.s. and I also noticed the level up text is wrong! You get a skill every 2 levels and stop, not like it's written

I would have reached lv30 in act 2 even without 3 Krakens. Maybe I could have even done it in act I, if I had fought all the arenas with one character (it would have been hard, but could have been done).

I played all arena fights 3 vs. 4 to get more reputation, which also means I have 3 lv29 characters and the rest are lagging 10+ levels behind, with 1 starting to catch up now that reputation is maxed at 50.

Now please upload the fix so I can get on with my game!
