Cyberpunk Inquisitor? What's That?

I'm making a rogue-lite point-and-click murder mystery! As an Inquisitor in a dystopian cyberpunk world, enter a Megabuilding and solve immersive, procedurally-generated murders. Question witnesses, collect evidence, identify the culprit and unmask the truth!

Sounds Great! Can I Try It?

Thanks again to all my fans for your continuous support over the years, I hope this latest Nerdook game will be interesting and fun for everyone!

Lots of love,

Monster Slayers - Small Update (v1.5.3)

nerdooksteam_community_announcementspatchnotes

239d ago

Hello Monster Slayers! Thanks so much for the warm reception to the return of Monster Slayers. I have uploaded a small update (v1.5.3) that fixes several issues (some long-standing):

LEVEL SAVE SYSTEM: Previously, there was a serious bug that can happen due to how the level is saved between plays. If you exit an encounter, the level save sequence is triggered before you resolve it, so it was possible to get stuck with no way forward, or end up with 3 companions. I have fixed the level save logic to perform as expected now.

FULLSCREEN TOGGLE CRASH: I have added additional checks for texture surfaces when toggling between fullscreen and windowed mode, so it should happen smoothly now without crashing.

CARDS REBALANCE: Many of the older cards gained additional AP costs when they were upgraded (which makes it a worse card in some cases), but I have rebalanced it so that they retain the original AP cost. Accordingly, the sources of AP gains have been scaled back slightly to compensate. The standard "Improvise" card has also been rebalanced to no longer have a card draw option, but instead gain a strengthened Block/Attack value. Barbarian cards were pretty bad in general, and their costs have been dialed back to make them competitive again.

DRAGON UPGRADES: The Dragon upgrades (+10 HP & extra Armor) were not functioning properly, and this has been fixed.

Do let me know in the comments or technical issues thread if you come across anything else that needs fixing! Wishing all of you a very happy Monster Slaying ahead. P/S I've collected all my current and upcoming games in a brand new Steam Developer page. If you have some time, do give it a follow!

nerdooksteam_community_announcements

242d ago

Attention, all Monster Slayers!

Great news! Monster Slayers is back!!! After a long discussion with the publisher, we came to an amicable agreement to transfer all of Nerdook's older games back to me, so they are now fully under my control again (on Steam, at least). To celebrate, I have uploaded a NEW UPDATE for Monster Slayers (v1.5.2):

1.5.2 CHANGELIST:

Ported the game to GameMaker Studio 2, bringing performance improvements across the board with a new engine
Brand new hand-drawn sprites (in the classic Nerdook style) for many of the monsters and characters that were previously using an asset pack
Bug Fix: Companion passives now work properly (they only worked the first time before this)
Bug Fix: Chakram now works properly
QoL Improvement: All items now display a small icon showing their slot
QoL Improvement: Inventory boxes rearranged in the interface
Other bug fixes and QoL improvements!

Now that the games are under my control, look forward to more frequent updates for Nerdook games. I hope you'll continue to have fun slaying Monsters after all these years! P/S: In case you're wondering what else I'm working on right now, check out Cyberpunk Inquisitor, a procedural murder mystery. Do wishlist it if it sounds interesting, it really helps a lot!

Much love,

nerdook

I've rebuilt their animations from scratch, added extra joints in the limbs, given each of them unique class specific faces, and updated their costumes to be more distinctive. - Rebalanced Heal (overhealing now turns into Block), Defend (more Block at higher levels), and Hook Shot (now it discards an enemy card and draws another, letting you cycle them into Traps quicker) - Harbinger no longer has guaranteed "Enough" or "Fortified" cards on Normal difficulty. Only the Strength Harbinger will have those.

You can now also restock/reroll merchant offers for a small fee! - Defeating the Harbinger now automatically heals you back to full HP. - Many bug fixes and game rebalancing.

v1.1.0 is Now Live!

nerdooksteam_community_announcements

3406d ago

In preparation for the class update this Friday, here's the latest patch! Patch Notes: v1.1.0 - Wizard cards rebalanced: i) Added Mana Crystal (Gain 5 Mana, draw 1 card) as a Level 1 card ii) Moved Magic Echo (Copy next Magic spell played) to a Level 2 card instead of Level 3 iii) Magic Blast doesn't spend your Mana, but deals damage based on Mana remaining, capped to 50 Mana iv) Mana Reversal still makes Magic cards free, but now returns 1 Mana instead of the card's cost - Revamped inventory system display to a more concise version. Item attributes are now shown in short, point format. Bosses now have guaranteed drops with the updates, but these drops are no longer a guaranteed Rare. Having so many Rares drop so easily was making the Magic items rather useless, so Rares are really Rare now. - Added new cards and changed items that used to give their effects: Accuracy (ignores dodge), Pierce (ignores armor, block and fortified) and Thorns (returns damage from block) - Added a new card: Fortified. While Fortified (lasts one turn), any damage above 15 is reduced to 15. A few enemies have this, and the Harbinger has one. - Added many more attributes for equipment, and equipment now have restricted attributes based on their type. Only staves will have magic attributes, bows will be more useful in general to Rangers. - Restricted weapon type so only Rangers can equip bows and only Wizards (and soon Necromancers) can equip staves. - Fixed bugs and rebalanced cards - Added reminder for Banished/Deleted effect on the journal screen - NPCs now say "Hello" only once per level, then they shut the hell up.

v1.1.0 is Now Live!
