What’s a discord channel

The gateway to the Fifth Circle of HELL!
I’m sure there’s some folks who like it, but I lasted less than 45 minutes on Discord. Too many clowns afraid to have an unexpressed thought.
Re: The actual post. Nice find. Investigating now. Since, you know, it’s not like I have an “Unplayed, Please Play Me” folder of games …
Dave’s making a “funny” since we just added a Discord channel.
Doesn’t everybody have such a folder @TheDukester? 
Holding out hope for a switch or mobile version, but last I heard that wouldn’t even be considered seriously until the pc version is out.

Based on this review I went and bought the game, and immediately spent my next 6 hours playing it!
Really fantastic, finally the successor to Dream Quest that I have been waiting for. My only complaint is that there are only 2 character classes. I am ready for more
There’s a third character already in the works, but it seems like that’s the only additional one planned.
That’s a downer. For it to be a DQ-type experience, it seems like more classes would be vital. Part of that game’s charm is how very different each class plays, and there’s so many of them.
In case anyone is interested, this works quite well on ipad with touch controls via the steam link app.

Right, and I had been waiting for it to come to switch. But when I finally saw the announcement for the switch release, I realized I could instead play it on iPad via steam link or PS4. Those options haven’t been available for all that long. So I decided not to wait any longer. In all likelihood, I will get it on switch as well.
Actually, just FYI and just for completeness of information; StS and basically any computer game on PC or Mac, has been available for stream play for many years now by via other apps such as Splashtop, chrome Remote Desktop, VNC viewer, and team viewer. Steam link actually does little more than those apps, and they’ve been around for years. They even all 4G internet play, which steam link is only just about to allow (if not already?? It did in the beta). Also, some of those apps imo offer a better control scheme.
I’ve been using Splashtop with my Mac and iPhone for about a year now and settled on it because I liked the way it simulated the mouse control.
Basically any “mouse only” input game that is turn based can be played using these apps quite well. I play StS and Into The Breach remotely to my Xs Max.
Anyway. Yes. StS is incredible and I can’t wait till it releases on phone supposedly later this year. Until then, on iOS there’s Dream Quest, night of the full moon, pirates outlaws, Card Quest, lophis roguelike, dimensions of dream, spellsword origins, Silent Abyss and Royal booty Quest (is a clone of StS with terrible graphics and some changes up basically because they just couldn’t quite copy it completely in all its intracies).

Ok, sure, this particular method. I’ve actually used splashtop (not recently, mind you). I’ve also used the physical steam link hardware. The new app is better than either of those experiences.
I’d happily play an updated version of dream quest. Can’t get past the programmer art.

I am the person who asked him for a way to give him more money. I love this game.
Interesting game … but all conversations about its future have to begin with the “art.”

But if he is working on an art update, which he obviously is, I’d gladly shove a wad of cash at it. I’ve never played, but it is basically the grandfather of a genre, and many love despite how awful it looks. I mean, it HAS to be good to get past that. I recall people describing monster slayers as a lite version of Dream Quest.
And thanks for that @Shadowfax

It’s the game that makes me understand why people love Dark Souls. It is brutally hard and that makes every triumph truly awesome and exciting. And every character, every enemy, they all play so drastically different.
Also, call me crazy but I love the art. I hope if he changes it he adds the option to keep the old stuff. It had charm, and hey, he was letting his daughter do it.
Lol, sounds like a perfect option to have a donation unlock.
I really enjoyed the art. It was effective, and unique.
