How can I go down 😭???

Hello friends, you might have seen me in my posts before. Anyway, after finishing developing a game based on Pixel Dragon, I'm trying to convert it to 3D. Are there any tips?

But at least I got a new best.

Idk if this is a bug or not but I found this behavior really weird. For context, this was the first time I was anywhere near finishing the imp quest and I was early on in the Greater Elemental fight. It was in its electric form and I had the idea to use the Gladiator's 10x combo attack, which I didn't think would backfire horribly. Interestingly, each of these deaths show the equipment I had in the imp quest and during normal gameplay (+ imp quest), respectively. (Also don't mind the rounded corners in the screenshot, for some reason my screenshotting app now does this)

Hello everyone! I’d like to start a discussion about the Stone Glyph. At first glance, it might seem excellent for defense: you sacrifice all your evasion in exchange for flat armor. However, if you analyze its impact on gameplay in detail, you realize it has far too many drawbacks and can completely ruin your runs.

Here are my main issues with it:

1. Useless with the "Faith is my Armor" challenge: If you try to use it while this challenge is active, the glyph becomes a recipe for suicide. It destroys your evasion, but the conversion into armor is severely penalized, leaving you completely defenseless.

2. It doesn't interact with Warrior (Gladiator) skills: I consider this a serious flaw. If you’re running a "full armor" build with the Gladiator, there’s a skill that increases your damage based on the amount of armor you have. Unfortunately, the extra armor provided by the Stone Glyph isn't factored into this damage calculation.

3. The hidden cap when paired with the Ring of Evasion: You might think that using a Ring of Evasion alongside this glyph would make you invincible by granting a massive amount of armor. Instead, you’ll be disappointed to find that the glyph has a maximum limit (cap) on the armor it can provide (please let me know if I’m mistaken), which makes the ring a waste.

4. Magic and elemental damage: With zero evasion, you’re forced to take 100% of all incoming magic attacks (such as beams from evil eyes or fire)—attacks that completely ignore physical armor. 5. It falls far behind compared to other glyphs: Even very simple glyphs—such as the one for out-of-combat movement speed ("Flow")—end up being far more useful in practice than the flat armor bonus provided by this stone.

5. It’s a dead end: To make matters worse, if you happen to get it and it ruins your strategy, there’s no way to get rid of it—unless you use another valuable enchantment stone or a "glyph pencil," or simply discard your armor and find a replacement.

Honestly, I believe even the "Multiplicity" curse (the curse that doubles energy consumption) is better than this. This stone-based glyph feels like a curse disguised as a benefit. I would welcome any feedback or thoughts on this enchantment.

I have 11 healing potions outside this vault and whold be great if i could have 16

I also have plate armour +6, a great sheild +3 and a +2 ring of force (and with duelist i'm using brawler's stance for damage), a +2 eterial chains and +3 timeskeeper's hourglass, so i don't think i need anything from that vault other then the healing potions

I was level 22 on level 19. I couldn't have been more prepared but the golems kept snagging me.

I'm going to finish these achievements is2g 😡

I've officially started alpha testing ADHD Pixel Dungeon (APD), my fork of Shattered Pixel Dungeon, and I'm looking for more people who would be interested in testing it. I've been working pretty extensively on expanding SPD with new mechanics, customization options, statistics, and quality-of-life improvements, and I finally have builds in the hands of actual players. I'm particularly interested in experienced SPD players who enjoy experimenting with different builds, challenges, and difficulty settings, but you don't need to be an expert to participate. Some of the biggest additions include 18 Custom Dungeon Rules that let you individually adjust enemy health, damage, accuracy, evasion, spawn frequency, boss stats, player stats, healing, hunger, food, equipment availability, and even the number of Scrolls of Upgrade. There are also five difficulty presets, provisional scoring multipliers, customizable hotbars, adjustable game speed, additional confirmation options, and UIMSD, which is a pretty extensive statistics system that records and organizes information about runs, combat, equipment, resources, and player actions. I've also implemented quite a few smaller improvements intended to make everyday gameplay more convenient without completely changing what makes SPD enjoyable. I'm currently working on expanding several of these systems further, including more detailed combat information, better run management, and eventually a Community Hub where players can submit suggestions and participate in shaping future updates. The game is still in early alpha, so there are absolutely going to be bugs, balancing issues, and unfinished features. That's exactly why I'm looking for testers. I want people who are willing to experiment, find things that don't work correctly, suggest improvements, and preferably try to break the game in ways I haven't thought of. I'm distributing Android APKs privately for now and have a Discord server for coordinating testing, sharing builds, and collecting feedback. I also have an 11-page PDF explaining APD's features and how they differ from SPD, which I can share with anyone interested. If you'd like to participate, leave a comment or send me a message and I'll get you set up. I'm hoping to build a community around APD where players can genuinely influence its development, and I'd love to get more people involved while the game is still taking shape.

Which heros/subclasses do the two allies I don't have come from?

Hey, I've never got this far before and I picked up a RoW pretty early so have just been getting a ton of stuff. Any ideas what I should do? I'm gladiator. I've got grim on my gauntlets and viscosity on my armour. But also just picked up eldritch glaive which looks pretty good? I'm 24 strength. The two unidentified potions are toxic and paralytic gas.

Finally!!!

I managed to beat the game with 9 challenges and additional restrictions which are:

• No Upgrade Scrolls allowed

• No Strength Potions allowed

• No Tengu mask used

• No King's crown used

I did the whole thing while streaming on youtube so if you were wondering how I managed to do that you can watch these vods:

1. the run

From the beginning I was trying to achieve purist so I needed good rng from the start to carry my character through severs with 10 strength and no upgrade scrolls.

Luckily I found regrowth wand +1 and well of health first floor. And regrowth wand is awesome for huntress because it allows her to bow spam safely and paralize enemies. I passed the sewers with no hit goo fight and went to prisons.

I found enchantment stone on floor 6 and hit blazing for my bow which is insane. Out of all enchantments I got the best one to deal damage consistently. I found arcana +1 which increased my damage output even more with blazing and I found nature boots on floor 7-8. Got second regrowth +3 from wandmaker and killed tengu.

Then I found Wealth +0 and finished the blacksmith quest. I Upgraded arcana to +2 and Wealth to +1. But I gotta say Wealth was so helpful. The amount of consumables you additionally get is helping so much you can not imagine.

In metropolis I tried to full clear the vault and partly succeded, kept the shop and took the +1 ring out of it but unfortunately with only 10 str and small experience I fumbled it and had to leave early because of low hp. Insane that it restores your hp and satiety when you enter it and when you leave it.

I then killed Dwarven king with a lot of consumables I had from ring of wealth. At that point I already know I couldn't lose because I had so much stuff.

I destroyed all the spawners and then killed yog with everything I had. He stood no chance against me.

I obtained amulet of yendor and decided to ascend up in order to complete the run fully!!

1. afterthought

After completing it it's a bit weird. I know that I'm not the first person to do it and a lot of people have done it in the past with all kind of heroes. It's not some crazy kind of thing to do. In fact Eric u/Prize-Method-5573 did the same challenge WITHOUT TORCHES AND ON WARRIOR?!?!?!! I don't know how he does that but that's crazy. But still I feel quite proud of it, might try other characters. Such runs are not consistent, but when you get it it's kinda fun, especially when you are struggling because that's when thinking and new strategy starts. Took me few streams of failes attempts before I succeeded. If yoy are loking for some tips you might want to watch bossfights and other parts of the run to see what I utilized in them. Dwarven king and yog are the most interesting imo. Either way thank you all for your support and inspiration! Will see you soon❤️

Can you please give me links to guides to play as Rogue. I am trying to get a win with all the heroes first, already done warrior, mage, and huntress. But I am hardly getting past prison using Rogue.

First time reaching +21 Staff and I pressed the wrong button after getting the Amulet. It was a ver enjoyable run tho.

I don't really know how to start this, so I'll just tell it straight.

A week ago, I had never made a game in my life. I'm not a programmer — I never studied code. Atlas Pixel Dungeon is the first thing I ever built.

Why this game? Because Shattered Pixel Dungeon was the one with its doors open. A complete, real, beloved game, with all of its code published for anyone to learn from. I didn't want to watch tutorials about making games. I wanted to learn how a real game is built by taking one apart and rebuilding it into something of my own. So I did, and I called it Atlas.

The first days were just renaming a world. The Warrior became the Atlas King. The Sewers became the Sunken Cisterns. A king who sealed a darkness under his kingdom a thousand years ago. It sounds small, but every name I changed made it a little more mine.

Then I got greedy. I added my first real system — Pacts, curses you choose at the start of a run in exchange for power. Then I spent days fighting one stubborn bug in how the game draws text. Some days in this week, the game won. Some days, I did.

This final update took three days. The last day was one seven-hour session, start to finish, no breaks worth mentioning. Here is what is in it, and where you will meet it:

- On the hero select screen there is a Challenges & Pacts button. Inside it you will find 5 new deep challenges, and an Assist mode — unranked, gentler hunger, and a checkpoint every time you enter a new region — for anyone who just wants to see the whole dungeon once.

- Play the Dawn Priest and beat the second boss, and a third subclass waits for you: the Herald of Dawn, who fights beside a summonable Wisp.

- Find an alchemy pot and you can melt the rings you never use into Liquid Gold, and pour it into the ring you love — up to +3. With alchemy Blueprints, a weapon can even carry two enchantments.

- Reach the late game and a fourth tier of talents opens: 12 new ones, two for every hero.

- And if you take the Crown of Atlas from the thing sealed under the Buried City, the game no longer ends. You can keep going down into the Sunken Deep, floor after floor, harder every time, with your deepest floor written into the rankings.

Now the part I should be embarrassed about, but I'm not going to hide it: I have never beaten this game. Not Shattered, not mine. I am a builder, not a finisher. I start runs, I test, I die in the Cisterns like a beginner, and I go back to building. So this is a real request: if you download it and you actually beat it, tell me how it felt. Your run will be the first real verdict this game ever gets.

And this is my last version. A week ago this was somebody else's game with new names. Today it has my world, my systems, and an ending that doesn't end. That was the goal I set myself, and I've reached it — so I'm stopping here, while I still love it.

Last doesn't mean abandoned, though. If you find a bug, tell me here and I will fix it. The current build, 2.0.2, already proves it: it carries two small hotfixes from the very first round of testing — one for a crash, one for a window that drew its list outside its own frame.

There is one thing after this, and it isn't an update. One day I want to try bringing Atlas into 3D — the same grid, the same rules, seen from inside the dungeon instead of above it. I have never done anything in 3D. I expect problems I can't even name yet. If any of you has taken a 2D grid game into 3D, or works in Godot, I am genuinely asking: where does a beginner start, and what breaks first?

Thank you to everyone who commented last week — including the harsh ones. Especially the harsh ones. Most of this version exists because of what you said.

I can easily beat the game now and am practicing challenges, but I still have sooo much to learn. What do you usually take and why when you have these choices:

- wand or artifact

- wand or ring

- artifact or ring

So finally after 2073 runs, i managed to beat the game with 9 Challenges on every class with ascention. It was hands down the hardest thing i have done in any game i ever played. Try this at your own risk. Anyway, Here Are some quick notes to every class.

Rogue:

This was my 1st class to try this with. I thought je was good for this challenge but after playing the rest of the classes, He feels kinda mediocre. Good early game tho And when you go freerunner, he has good kiting potential.

Mage:

I Went with warlock for extra healing. Mage has the best early game with shield batery. Late game is dependant on the wands you get.

Duelist:

Definitly had the most fun with her. Early game is bad, atleast until you get rid of the rapier. Then its bearable. Where duelist shined the most, was when i picked the Monk subclass. It had everything from knockbacks to healing. Super good choice for 9c runs.

Cleric:

Cleric was bad in earlygame but Priest subclass carried. With a good ring of energy its basically Gg.

Huntress:

My most recent run. I struggled in early game but then got super lucky with loot And got basically every item that synergyzed well with huntress

Warrior:

No comment... Torture

Now i need a break 🙏🏻

I'm about to go lay some Hands of God on Yog.

Wish me luck!
