  • Map thread tags are important. Please use those that fit and not more or none.

Maybe you should find a way to not activate the cooldown of a health potion when using one for mana and the other way around.

Also, some issues:

Some creatures can be attacked from a distance without them retaliating/coming towards you:

Pretty neat although loading crashes the game.

Approved.

that is intended, there are potions that give both but over time, i forgot to include them in drop tho

Some creatures can be attacked from a distance without them retaliating/coming towards you
already fixed in new version, coming very soon

Pretty neat although loading crashes the game.

still cant figure out why it does :\

there will be a private stash that can save you up to 5 gear items as a soft save/load, but this map although is intended to be "get as far as possible"

new version will include new player UI

New building asset pack with motion and destruction simulation animations, as well as a door system (a system for breaking windows was also developed, but we decided to abandon it).
