v3.0.0 Patreon Alpha! (Latest: BETA)

Hey Golden+ Patrons, welcome to an early look at the Cleric!

The Cleric is now fully playable and so the alpha for v3.0 is ending soon! I may do further alphas after the holidays as the Paladin, Trinity, and Power of Many come online.

As always, read the changelog for full change details, and let me know if you encounter any bugs!

Please note that these builds may be unstable! I will do my best to fix issues ASAP, but you probably shouldn't update yet if you've got a great run in progress you don't want to lose. Please let me know if you run into any problems!

---

The latest alpha version is: Beta!

I've just Released BETA-1.0, which is the same as ALPHA-1.1 plus a couple bugfixes. I'll be releasing the beta publicly tomorrow, but for now it's for Patrons only.

---

Here's how you can sign up to get the Alpha (You should only need to sign up once for any future alphas):

Google Play: Opt-in to testing using this link: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.shatteredpixel.shatteredpixeldungeon , then private message me the email address of your Google Play account. (yes, seriously, I have to manually add each person.)

iOS TestFlight: Opt-in to the Patreon testing group using this link: https://testflight.apple.com/join/JwMXrnT5

Steam and GOG: Opt-in to alphas by going to Shattered's installation properties, and use the access code 'HealingBruteThorns' to unlock the alpha testing channel.

Alpha releases are sadly not supported on Itch, but the direct downloads below should work just fine.

Direct Download: Simply download the file you want from this post.

GPlay: Google Play build of the game.
Android: Open source  Android build.
Windows/macOS/Linux: Open source desktop builds.
Java: Open source desktop multi-platform JAR build. Requires java.

Direct download versions won't automatically update until the beta, so check back often for bug fixes!

That one's a bit of a stretch but is intended. The time freeze is affecting all enemies, and so it does trigger the illuminated effect.

Shattered Pixel

Timekeeper's hourglass "freeze time around me" triggers the priest's guiding light. With Radiance, I thought I was somehow triggering a scroll of retribution effect. I assume freezing yourself is not intended with the " Any artifact that directly affects an enemy trigger this effect" line

Ah. It's not letting me download the file. Or, I guess my phone isnt? I'll try PC. Edit: It seems clicking the link to this post lead me to the 0.7 post somehow ๐Ÿ˜…

Yeah I fixed that exploit while developing v3.0. Enemy AI is now more willing to switch targets if they're being attacked by something they can retaliate to immediately but are currently chasing something they can't attack.

Maximized ring of recharging with Priest is super fun. Went and got rat armor just to find out the demon floors are locked, so I'll be spending my time filling the dwarf floors with rats for now. Big fan of the new class, looking forward to seeing the armor abilities and champion subclass!

I've noticed that when using the Divine Rose to fight the fifth level boss, it doesn't work the same way as before to lure the boss around while the player stays in one place and continuously attacks it. Has there been a change in the boss's aggro mechanics?

snow

Yes that was meant very much tongue-in-cheek. The Cleric plays fun so far, a little refreshing - not simply remodeling the same mechanics... Maybe a little OP. In other words - good work just as expected.

Robert Heinig

Ratmogrify isn't meant as a replacement to regular armor abilities, it's more intended to be a fun extra that can be useful. I also wanted there to be a caveat of some form to progressing given how much earlier this alpha is compared to previous ones.

Shattered Pixel

I still don't get why you're capping them out at the Imp for missing armor ability when they DO have one available... :D)

Robert Heinig

Oh! Good thing I didn't start a new run then ๐Ÿ˜…

BlackwingRed

Yeah that's what happens when I put in a bug that causes the game to crash 100% of the time after casting hallowed ground ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Shattered Pixel

Dang Evan, you updated to v.06 so quick. I just downloaded 0.5 ๐Ÿคฃ

BlackwingRed

Never mind. I saw what you said about the TestFlight being delayed. I will wait :)

BoxDog

How do I submit my email? Sorry for the late response.

BoxDog

Afraid not =S, it's help up by Apple review and that's all I know unfortunately.

Shattered Pixel

DMing me here is fine, or on discord, or any other sort of 1:1 message really.

Shattered Pixel

Where do you want bug reports?

LrrrAc

Any update on the apple release for Alpha? TestFlight doesnโ€™t anything

Joseph Perry

Sure, I'll need an email address though

Shattered Pixel

Can I be added too please

BoxDog

Seems fun so far! 5 charges per hero level is alot harsher than i was expecting! I guess thats higher from this 5% boost per missing charge and the high level bonus but still quite limiting. Excited to see how this has played into your design and balence process!

Added you!
