Hm, that’s very odd, it almost looks like macOS is interpreting any sort of click on the game as one outside of it, and minimizing the game accordingly. The only change made recently to this sort of thing was one relating to multiple monitors, do you have more than one monitor connected?

Pressing option+enter should put the game out of fullscreen mode as well, which should help.

Hey, just wanted to pop in and say I am listening, and sorry that people here have been a bit aggressive in their replies to you.

Leaving Reddit (and twitter) was never about shutting myself out, it’s entirely because those platforms are run by vile people and I can’t stand to use them anymore. Back in the early days Reddit was 100% of my community interaction, and I admit I do miss participating in big discussion threads there, but these days the majority of my communication time is through direct messages (mainly email) and that’s been the case for years.

Making changes to existing items like this is always going to be tricky, because of course it’s going to upset someone. In this case it felt like a worthwhile change to make because a relatively large number of people wanted more ways to ID gear, and lots of other options for trap disarming already exist. It also feels like a better thematic fit for remove curse, as the stones now interact with equipment too.

That’s intended, there are a few ‘sub-items’ which aren’t included in the catalog mainly because I felt it would be reduntant. Shattered honeypots are another example.

That doesn’t happen actually, only levelgen is affected by the dungeon seed, after that things like combat rolls and enemy drops are totally random. I made the choice to handle it that was as normal players would have their RNG diverge almost immediately anyway, and I wanted to prevent strats like ‘do this specific sequence of inputs to spawn a thief on floor 4 and have it always drop an artifact’

Shattered has a full privacy policy that you can read through, but a few points:

• the policy only covers the data I collect, google firebase itself may collect additional data and you should refer to Google’s privacy policies for that.
• Naturally Google/Apple already track you via various device services. I have no reason to believe Google collects any info via Shattered’s use of firebase over what they already collect anyway.
• you can opt-out In the settings, and this should turn off Shattered’s use of firebase completely.

As far as I’m aware yes, the only pinging Shattered’s open source build does is checking for news and updates (this just an HTTPS GET request btw, no data aside from the request metadata is sent) and if you disable those that’s it.

In cases where the splash art and game art significantly disagree you should consider the splash art canon atm. I want to eventually improve the in-game art to match.

Yep, that’s a change in v2.5.0.

v2.5.2 is legitimate, it’s just a small followup patch with a few bug fixes, and so I didn’t think it was worth making posts about.

Thanks for the report, surprisingly this hasn’t been mentioned to me yet. I’m just releasing v2.5.1, so it’ll have to be fixed in the next patch.

That’s a good point, I’ll consider this for a future patch, thanks!

Yeah unfortunately play store users largely skipped beta-5 and rc-1. Aside from lots of bugfixes and small tweaks, the two most significant gameplay changes were:

• Salt Cube extra satiety increased to 25% per level, from 12.5%.
• Salt Cube health regen reduction adjusted to 30/50/65/75%, from 25/50/75/100%.
• Added a 4th trinket crafting option, which gives a random trinket

Give me another 15 minutes or so and they will.

From looking at my automated crash reports, I do see where this is happening and I’m afraid it is being caused by having sync data from a future version of the game. I’ll get this fixed in the next update, unfortunately there isn’t a way for me to retroactively fix v2.4.2

Sorry to hear you’ve been having trouble with play games. The crashing in particular definitely shouldn’t happen. Which verison of the game are you using out of curiosity? There have been a few cases of crashes caused by beta game data when attempting to revert back to a non-beta version.

The main issue with the old format was how inefficient it was in terms of space. Previously the journal notes UI had room for about 10 notes on screen at once, which becomes very inadequate once the additional notes and custom notes are involved. The lack of icons also meant that it was difficult to see what notes were about at a glance, compared to now where notes are more clearly grouped by floor and have immediate visual indicators of what they’re related to.

Nope, it’s difficult to know where things will be years in the future but atm it’s only 4.4- that has any form of support deadline.

That’s great, I’m always happy to see Shattered still chugging along on these older devices.

It’s not going to hit for a little while yet, but unfortunately it does look like support for Android 4.3- and then 4.4 may need to go in a future update, perhaps in 2025. The TL;DR is that Google is dropping support for the Dalvik runtime (which was replaced by ART in android 5) in most of their build tools, which means that a lot of code libraries are dropping support in their latest versions.

The salt cube does unfortunately reduce chalice healing.

Sorry about that! Links should be fixed now.
