@UsaSatsui @JK I do not think that is true?

DCSS is under GPL. This means that it would not be fishy to link it against Steam API for achievements, DRM and such (but this is of course not actually necessary for a Steam game).

Also that the distributor has to let users access the source code and distribute it further — I do not think this is incompatbile with Steam rules either, there are some GPL games on Steam.

It would be bad style to make it a paid game but this is also not necessary on Steam.

When I asked about this on dcss reddit, the answer was something like “it can be done and I think it should be done but somebody would have to maintain it”.

@JK I remember they did look into a Steam version, but the licensing issues made it completely impossible.

Forgewrights are really fun! Thank you for continuing this work. I greatly enjoy tuning in every few months to try new builds.

It must’ve been asked somewhere but is there any chance that DCSS could be made available through steam? I for one would gladly throw some bucks towards you for the convenience.

While more shapeshifting options are neat, I still largely ignore it in the trunk. The Lich pendant being pushed to 26 seems just to punish anyone trying to use it to avoid mutations. It’s rather disappointing to see nerfs like that, it sours the rest of the update.

I second DCSS Player’s opinion on shapeshifting, though for me it’s mostly a color thing. It leads me to wonder if devs give any consideration to in-game feedback. Not that this is realistic, but if nobody picked up a single talisman for the enitre tournament, would devs still keep pushing, it would they go the way of Meteorans?

Thank you for removing binary vampires! For me at least, they were just a reminder of all the subtlety that had been removed from the game. Revenants look like a far superior replacement.
Forgecraft would also be an improvement if Summoning went away entirely. Spell menu dilution is currently the game’s biggest problem!

Please undo the shapeshifting rework. It’s just not good, guys. Flux baubles feel terrible with their limited duration, and the protean talisman being RNG is not fun. Scarab form is too clunky and weird with the external sun, and rime yak form loses 90% of its damage if you dare to walk into a vault with trees. Yeah the later forms are OP and you will get rewarded if you luck your way into a late game Shapeshifter but that’s all there is to this class now.

Glad to see that the Sprint levels are still being maintained. “The Pits” is one of my favorite experiences in gaming, the perfect bite-sized alternative to playing a full game

Thank you for all of the great new additions! I really appreciate the new dual school spells and god changes. I’m also happy to see playable goblins!

I wanted to mention that naga sprites for player dolls still have all equipment offset by a pixel.

Love the gameplay changes!

Happy to see the genie models get naga treatment with no leg parts showing!

I like that hair has consistent outlines now, but the parts of it that touch the head area shouldn’t be outlined. Elf hair is especially poorly fitting, and most of the hair styles look like hats now. I don’t think that even some of the hats should have a separating line on the bottom.

The naga model currently has everything that goes on the model offset by a pixel to the right.

“Starting at XL 7, Armataurs now regenerate HP and MP while rampaging when they reach XL 7″
“Starting at XL7″ share the same meaning with “when they reach XL7″ and should be removed.
