It works perfectly with that fix, thank you!
Thanks, I'm glad it worked. It's a rare thing, Sophos be praised.
I wonder whether multiple configurations can be supported in visual studio?

In your local copy of CMakeSettings.json, try changing this line: https://github.com/Attnam/ivan/blob/913b9650edd0c9de4082c6ad...

Scars
in forum Suggestions and Ideas
Time for my annual *idea*:
I wonder if we could make scars have a 50% chance of decreasing a stat, and a 50% chance of increasing a stat?
As an extension, there could be some underwater modifier that changes this ratio to 25/75, depending on how fortunate a character is when born/spawned (sporn?)
i.e.:
VERY_FORTUNATE => 25% chance a scar will decrease stat, 75% chance a scar will increase stat
FORTUNATE => 40% chance a scar will decrease stat, 60% chance a scar will increase stat
UNFORTUNATE => 60% chance a scar will decrease stat, 40% chance a scar will increase stat
VERY_UNFORTUNATE => 75% chance a scar will decrease stat, 25% chance a scar will increase stat

Having two x2 stack into a x3 still doesn't feel right IMO. Doing the Tweraif ending is practically just busywork after successfully grabbing and returning with the veil, and isn't really comparable to taking on Petrus for the chaos ending. Adding a static bonus score X for completing a quest seems more in line to me with the multiplier only being determined by the ending you get.
Static bonus seems like the best option. Either that or add the square root of the subsequent victory score.
IMHO the mutual exclusivity of the various quests is kind of lame. I dont like how you cant do both. why can the high priest of petrus then go kick the asses of the armies of chaos?
But what would be the victory condition after the high priest victory? Do we register the score at that point and stop counting, or keep adding to the score?
After all the quests have been achieved, I guess the only thing left would be for the character to die. That would definitely be in keeping with the game

No I don't think they stack unfortunately. They should though. I think that would be cool.

I think the second-to-last build config is the one that will get you a windows build. It's currently configured to release on tags, so you'll need to do something to circumvent that.

Agreed. It has been a while. Would be good to set up another session, maybe hearing from some more recent contributors, AquariusPower and red-kangaroo spring to mind. Also good to have long time players and fans on the show, to discuss player experience and tactics.
