Really enjoying it so far! :) Is it possible to play it on mobile? It would be useful when in school :D
Comment has been collapsed.
The texts would be small and it would be a little difficult to use the inventory, but other than that, it should be totally playable :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Ahh that's great. I guess I'll give it a shot tomorrow! Thanks :)

Died at the hands of the poison of an evil spider D: I'll be back in 5 hours. Hope nobody steals my stuff :P

Getting pretty far in this and I might be able to destroy one of the enemies I had to run away from earlier in my journey.
Comment has been collapsed.
Great work! Much better than the first 1 the last time which i only played for the first 24hrs. I hope the next one will have a arrow showing the directing I am facing on the map because I am clueless where I am going. wasted lots of energy moving into same place again.
Comment has been collapsed.
oh blind me. saw the arrow that i am facing now lol

What are the average chances really for a treasure (or weapon for that matter) ? Still 0 found. More than ~70 checks in. Almost ridiculous chances, or more probably, just a great streak of my usual bad luck. Is it something like 1% per check ? :(
Anyway, I love what you've done with this mini-game. The danger of exploration feels too real at times and that's what makes dungeon crawling interesting anyway. Got too many potions now, so the danger has somewhat lessened for the time being.
You do know what you are missing in the game right? A nice ambient soundtrack for dungeon crawlers. I'll probably post it in suggestions with more details. It's almost essential to enhance your atmosphere.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, I might add some sounds, or even some ambient music in the future Games :) It is currently not as easy as it might seem though.
With the basic Luck, contributor's chances are currently around 1.7% per check , non-contributor's - 1.25%, increasing your Luck will increase your chances.

How long does it take to be resurrected/come back from death? Waiting 8 hours already...
Comment has been collapsed.
It should be 6 hours, from what I've heard. You get up with 0 energy though. Haven't tested it yet, thankfully.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks for your reply radagast82! Taking longer here, hopefully the next hours will do. 6 hours would be ok, it's rather 9ish now and still dead.
Comment has been collapsed.
Kinda sounds like a bug. I guess you'll get an answer soon enough.
Comment has been collapsed.
That was indeed a bug! Funnily enough, you were the only only who couldn't be resurrected normally. It is fixed now :) So sorry about that!
I've fully recovered your energy and health and given you a few items to compensate for this inconvenience!
Comment has been collapsed.
The waiting period for energy is a little frustrating, makes it too "mobile game-ish", I feel that the 6h waiting period for resurrection should be enough to stop people from blowing through the game too quickly. Other than that I like it and its simplicity. Nicely done.
EDIT: the energy recovers really slowly, I made one move, encountered a werewolf, was too tired to escape and got massacred. Definitely not very happy with the energy recovery system :P/
Comment has been collapsed.
Well this should give you a lesson at least. You never go against a werewolf, without energy. And against any monster for that matter.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well what choice did I have? Can I just stand there and have a staring contest?
Comment has been collapsed.
Obviously you didn't. I simply meant to be more cautious of energy management in the future, to improve survivability. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I think every action is 1 energy, so trying to run costs 1 energy, need at least 1.
Sorry, but I took 1 coin from your corpse...
Comment has been collapsed.
Correct, you need at least 1 energy to be able to escape.
Comment has been collapsed.
You were lying there, dead I might add, in your fancy clothes, so I thought he must be rich.
So I searched your dead body and boy was I wrong, only 1 coin...
Comment has been collapsed.
How? Does it do it automatically when you enter the room or do you have to press something?
Comment has been collapsed.
If you are in a room with a dead player:
You can Search the bodies (search the bodies is clickable)
There are 5 other adventurers at your location.
3 of them are lying dead.

Tnx for the tip, I'd pay you back but you already robbed me :).

Awesome! Are there specializations in the game? Can I become a wizard?
Comment has been collapsed.
You have made 169 steps and 179 checks so far.
You have found 0 treasures.
You've defeated 12 enemies.
You've died 0 times.
The bookworm is sooooooo OP...
*Updated 20:23 UTC+7 Jan 11th.
Quests start to make sense now.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yup I'm pretty close to your steps and checks (maybe a bit lower). Almost half the map explored. And yeah, 0 treasure but also 0 weapon upgrades here. I did see a few people entering my contributions. Almost a hundred coins by now. The bookworm is indeed uber OP. I found it very early in the game too. Obviously a monster to skip in this game. (hopefully we don't "have" to kill it) And I at last got some extra quests. Was almost thinking there are no side quests in here. I just got pretty late to some places. Exploring the right places first needs pure luck.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yup always do. Just missed some walls early in the game.
Comment has been collapsed.
Just a hint: there are no "right " places you need to explore first in the Game :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Just killed the Book Worm, got no items or gold for the kill though. Is this supposed to be like that?
Comment has been collapsed.
From what I've gathered so far, it's not even necessary to kill monsters. (well maybe not always) So don't sweat it. xD
Comment has been collapsed.
Any live stats on total number of players, number of deaths, treasures found etc etc ?
Comment has been collapsed.
All these stats will be available when the Game finishes (I might make them available anytime though). Number of players can currently be seen on the main page :) Currently there are 377 adventurers in the Castle :p
Comment has been collapsed.
Niceee. I'm filled with countless potions btw, but will probably take advantage of them, after I go home from work.

MWhahahahah! I won! And I am the first one. I feel so special!
Comment has been collapsed.
Woah, that was quick! O_O If there were achievements in the Game, you would get one of the most difficult ones for a Speedrun! Congratulations!
Comment has been collapsed.
With absolutely no treasures on the way, though. And I don't think I explored the entire map either :D.
Comment has been collapsed.
Haha, actually, that I found all in the 3 locations. Was worried it might not be in the same order I found them, but I got that in the first try.
Thanks!

Great job! It must feel awesome to be the first winner :) I deleted my previous message not to give spoilers for those who are still not there. You can surround your message/word with "~" to make it a spoiler ;)

I prefer 100% every game, so I will do every quest :3 That's how I normally play ARPG: EXPLORE ALL THE MAP!
Comment has been collapsed.
Some. Found more money, and spent it ALL on BIG ENERGY :D.
Comment has been collapsed.
Gratz for the win. Just for the record though and out of curiosity, did you have any early luck bonuses ? It could probably help in terms of finding more potions sooner. Though there's always the RNG God.
Comment has been collapsed.
I got the armour early on, and I didn't die a single time before winning, despite battling every opponent I found (other than the spider, who I turned invisible for). Other than that, there were a couple spots where My energy ran out, but then I found a few potions and got enough money to let that not be an issue again.
Comment has been collapsed.
Armor? So there is such a thing as "armor". Haven't seen something like it. It probably won't be needed though, after upgrading the weapon. Haven't died either, though I did run away from the OP bookworm. It's actually almost impossible to die from some point and after. The only difficulty is early on in the game.

You have made 37 steps and
43 checks so far.

Just came back from the (gold)treasury, found a little over 60 coins.

Hello Steamgifters! I am happy to announce that the biggest giveaway adventure has just begun! :)
All of us like playing games, and all of us like winning games. So, how about playing a game and winning games while playing?
Introduction
Game of sWords is a text RPG Adventure where you can explore dungeons (or other locations), complete quests, solve puzzles, find useful items, avoid deadly traps and fight dangerous monsters while searching for treasures (private SteamGifts giveaways links) on your way and trying to reach the end to get access to a huge amount of private giveaways! Each Game (of sWords) usually has a unique scenario and a limited number of winners, so the chances will always be great.
All giveaways have no restrictions, so anyone who finds them can join them!
A lot of giveaways have been contributed by the community members, and I would like to say a big Thank You to everyone who made a contribution! :)
Important notes about the Game
In the Game, you will have Energy Points and Health Points.
Most of the actions in the Game require Energy Points. Energy can be replenished using items, which you can find everywhere, thus it is important that you check everything around you!
Energy will also be replenished over time. Normally, you will receive 1 Energy Point every 15 minutes, and that time can be reduced with special artifacts that can be found in Game.
Note, that the Energy won't be replenishing during the battles (you can only restore it with potions)!
If you lose all your Health Points, you will also lose all the energy you had plus you will have to wait for up to 6 hours to be resurrected. (Resurrection happens every 6 hours from the time the Game started - 16:00 GMT). The energy can not be replenished while you are dead!
Note: If you have problems navigating through the map, you can switch to Simplified Navigation at the bottom left corner.
It would also be useful to read this article, I give important strategy tips there :)
The treasure Game will finish when 50 adventurers will win the Game!
Time to start the Adventure!
EVERYONE is invited to play the Game and search for treasures in the adventure! :)
The only requirement is that your Steam account should be more than 90 days old.
Will you be able to defeat the monsters, complete quests, solve the secrets of The Secret Castle and... save Santa Claus who was kidnapped by the evil Castle Master? :)
Join the official group
and
Start playing now!
The current stats can be viewed here.
The current Game is running overtime, which means that no more treasures can be found in the adventure.
