Artifact weapon using the flail graphics. Actual name would be "the X-headed flail named Vindex".

Starts with 1 head and as it kills, grows more heads (changing its graphics). If you don't kill with it for too long, the extra heads will start to disappear.

When you attack with it, each head rolls its own attack. Thus a 3-headed flail would do 3 attacks with a single bump against a monster.

I love the way your IVAN dev work over the years has made you into a great programming guru Holybanana always wanted IVAN to be a vehicle for others to learn C/C++

IVAN definitely got me into programming. I think it's admirable how simple and transparent the code is. You can understand many parts without any knowledge of coding and then delve deeper. And the community is great, too.

I still feel much more confident with Python than with C++, but maybe I'll get there in time.

I had some more segfaults today. (I really hope they were not related to my safescumming haha)

In particular, game would often segfault when Mirror Imps would hit me (or maybe I hit them?).

Also, GC7 (the mystic one) was almost unplayable because of segfaults that seemingly would happen out of nowhere.

Nothing should break if you're savescumming by copying your savefiles elsewhere and then back once you die, unless you don't copy all the files.

I'll have a look at the mirror imps. I think there might be a problem when a magic beam other than from a wand hits them.

Maybe zero or NULL volume got passed to the Forge Item recipe when you escaped from it and that caused a segfault?

Thanks for the report.

See the screenshot.

I was shopping in the library when suddenly every guard etc. in Attnam started to move around. For a second, I thought I somehow managed to steal by mistake, or otherwise anger the town, but everyone was still peaceful and after a while, they all returned back to their place.

I haven't had a completed run yet through out my entire time playing. Though I hope that doesn't stop me from having my thoughts on what I experienced so far with this beta.

No worries, I also have only a precious few wins in IVAN.

First off, I ain't sure if it's just me but the game sure got allot more harder then usual.

That's really just bad luck. Nothing was changed in UT, but sometimes the game just feels as if it's out for blood. Jenny can be pretty dangerous when she lands a crit.

Though I haven't gotten that far besides the pyramid, I feel like the new quest is great so far! It adds allot more options to the already good amount of different places to go to. My only problem was when I was trying to find the pyramid after leaving Aslona. I assumed it was outside the island I'm on since I'm given a ship which allows you to go to other islands that you would originally couldn't access (I also found out today that the world map is allot more bigger then I expected). I had two runs where I starved to death trying to find the pyramid. Like I said though, the game is meant to be hard so I can't really say much.

Great!

I would advise to start with the quests in goblin fort or fungal caves. Myrddin even says in his quest speech that pyramid is the most dangerous of the new dungeons.

Yeah, the dungeons unfortunately can sometimes end up rather far from each other. That's also the reason why you get a boat, I couldn't figure out how to nicely pack that all onto a single continent. But when looking for a dungeon, you should generally first (l)ook for it and only get going once you know where to. Otherwise you waste too much nutrition on the worldmap.

One thing that I hate though is upon getting at least one leg severed (which for some reason is very easy to happen in later places), I end up getting overloaded even if I don't have that much in my inventory.

Your leg strength gets cut in half when you loose a leg, thus you being suddenly burdened/overloaded. Good boots help prevent loosing a leg, and I always try to have a source of teleportation in my open inventory to get out of trouble immediately should I loose a limb.

I had a pretty intense game.

Everything was normal until about halfway down the fungal caves, when Loricatus gave me an angel and I decided to dive quickly to take advantage of her before she disappears. She destroyed Fusanga and even killed the dark mage on the last level, even though here I was very lucky to be wearing an amulet of life saving, because he got me before she could reach him.

But when I was recuperating, suddenly my brain was constantly on fire and mind worms started to appear everywhere. I had some healing potion from Mellis, so I survived, but with no tin helmet, I had to hightail it out of there.

I went to the goblin fort, and once again mind worms started to appear. It was an utter infestation, and I still didn't have any tin helmet. I ended up retreating to UT, doing the spider quest for a scroll of wishing, and getting a SOCM to get a full tin helmet. Then I finished fungal caves and went down through the goblin fort, killing mind worms left and right. Have a look at the kill list!

Unfortunately, on the last level of GF, I managed to nick prince Artorius with an explosion, making him hostile. No problem, I had a wand of resurrection, so I killed him and revived him friendly once again. Except because he was made hostile, so were both Castle of Aslona and rebel camp (which is a bug I'll fix, they should be OK if you bring the prince in one piece).

I tried to take on Lord Regent, and well...
