Having four hands may be a good idea, even if you fight with a two-handed weapon and two empty hands
Make having four hands buff the Martial Arts skill and cap the damage at skill level 550
Martial Arts got further buffs. Faerie's rejoice.
Fighting speedy non-Void enemies that don't multiply in any way, increases your speed xp. Snail's rejoice.

It's just not the same without the awkward mix of tiles stolen from like three different games and a game creation tool kit.

also it probably sucks because Elona is already slow-paced so adding microtransaction goals to that would probably make any progression glacial, and also gently caress microtransactions.

bonus: I really like the app icon, which is just a spam can with the words "elona" on it and an animes face. I can certainly think of ways it represents the game but that is totally just a stock icon they can slam a title on quickly

Raw shoes, but good luck finding one. I cheated enough money to have all the stores be level 500+ and only found a shoe every handful of real time hours while doing circuits around the map. It was only in Act 1. I probably should try out the Act 2 area.

Can't you just use scrolls of inferior material for it? Did that get patched out?

Or is it about not finding shoes in general.

The thing is, shoes are distinctly different from boots and boy howdy, do the people in Tyris love their boots. Even the wonder footwear Seven League Boots are boots that make you travel faster, but eating them won't increase your speed. You can eat all the regular boots you want, but it won't increase speed.

You can still eat shoes or anything else that are made of raw or candy and can change their material to raw or candy with certain items. It is that stores sell shoes like they are a very rare item.

iirc shoes are low 'rarity' so levelling shops will cause less of them to appear - it's been a long while since I played but I remember specifically keeping some shops low level for poo poo like that.

You can eat anything that is made of “raw” or candy. This includes shoes, swords, guns...

...and panties.

Does the game ever say what “raw” is, or is it soylent green for all we know? So eating raw equipment gives permanent buffs like shoes = speed, weapons = strength or something like that?

Raw is literally raw meat likened to steak. A very sturdy kind of meat that never rots. Meat meat will still eventually rot. You will know about the soylent kind if it is named after an NPC, as in the thread title. Go into the casino and you may find a table or a chair made of meat that you can eat and no one will object.

An eaten item may increase a stat if it has the attribute that increases said stat, which is vastly different than it simply increasing a stat. Shoes always have the equipment attribute for increasing speed, but eating it won't increase your speed by several points that way. You have to eat several to increase your speed by a few points.

Golems shouldn't eat shoes themselves, they should feed them to their horse/motorcycle.

I'm the odd elona player in that I hate pets. I run zero pets, no mount. Gotta get strong on my stats alone.

The last thing I want is for an uncontrollable AI ally to die and leave me weaker.

Also it's a pain to manage pets and what they eat or use so I just shoot lasers and magic darts all day.

What are the changes? I haven't updated in a bit (my update is right before the ranch health update).

Stelas

Material scrolls don't roll randomly now. Instead, each scroll type has a list that they'll cycle through, with blessed scrolls adding a couple of options into the chain. So if you use a superior mat scroll on an item that isn't already a superior material, it'll start at dawn cloth, then a second scroll will take it to spirit cloth, and so on.

To me it makes superior/change scrolls a bit worse, since you now need multiple of them (potentially blessed) but it makes inferior scrolls a lot stronger since they're easier to get and you can control them now.

It is less annoying to know that having X number of scrolls will guarantee a material instead of playing nice with the RNG.

So Noa seems to be developing games again. He recently posted some info on reddit about his new game, Elin's Inn.

https://www.reddit.com/r/ElinsInn/comments/dgs2iz/about_elins_inn_and_help/

It's a Dwarf Fortress/Rimworld type of game, from what Noa has said. Potentially a demo for it tomorrow.
