    Oh man, what class are you?! I WANTS MEATCRAFTING!

    Don't worry, you can get scrolls that turn items raw, so that you may eat them.

    It's a great way to get rid of cursed/doomed equipment when you don't have any uncurse scrolls.

    Man, I actually saw this before but ignored it because (oddly enough for a roguelike...) the graphics turned me off.

    Clearly, I was horribly mistaken.

    I downloaded this, but upon launching it I get an error about not finding something in DINPUT.dll . Has anyone got any idea what's going on (googling seemed to suggest DINPUT.dll is a directx joystick driver or somesuch, the word does not exist on the wiki or forum of the game).

    This game has gamepad support.

    dinput.dll is pretty important for gamepads.

    You're likely gunna have to find and replace that dll.

    This is the error I get (translated dutch to english)

    "Cannot find entrypoint of procedure DirectInputCreateEx in DLL-file DINPUT.dll"

    I'm wondering if it may have something to do with not having japanese language support on this machine (If i visit a website in japanese, all i get is square blocks too), since it's apparently coded in japanese.

    It also keeps spamming me with a notepad file with
    Error 38 Loc -1
    ci0 ti0 cc0 tc0 mode0
    ccId0 tcId0
    Proc system_init / 0 / 0 / 0 / 0 / 1130
    when I try to start it up (have to kill the process or it loops eternally).

    I checked, the DLL is there in /windows/system/ too.

    The dll's gone wonky. I had the exact same problem. Get the dll from a different source and replace the old one.

    For the record, if you get a wish, good wishes to make are "vindale", "seven league boots", and "evolution". "sex" is not a good wish.
    It changes your gender.

    Oh, and don't play anything near Loyter, the guy who won't talk to you in the bar in Vernis. He's a jerk and throws rocks that instakill you until you're well within the 40s of perform skill. He also has a tendency of getting invited to every bloody party despite his love of murdering the entertainment.

    Thanks for introducing me to this game I really like it. I am trying to become a pianist ninja (eventually, still working on not getting myself assassinated while I'm playing). There's just so much in this game. I was looking through and apparently you can build buildings that make a revenue. You can also marry your companions (little girl) and have "genes" with them and then replay the game as your kid and inherit your stuff and get a boost.

    I'm still trying to find a place to buy musical instruments any help on that?

    Can you just wish to be invincible? I always try this in rougelikes and fail.

    Also how do you sleep in this game? I always end up running around beds pushing every button I can think of until I just flat out pass out where I'm standing.

    It's mentioned in the tutorial that hitting space will do the proper action for stuff you're standing over. Like sleeping for beds, using houseboards, opening chests, etc.

    I also got "Gay Daytime" and "Spear Lover".
    It's like this game is trying to tell me something about my character.......

    If the legendary bandit asks for money, GIVE HIM THE MONEY.

    I'm somewhat saddened to see that release note about fixing fires breaking out on the world map... that sounds hilarious. Is ammo infinite? Like at the start you get that arrow for your bow... does it ever run out/break?

    I know that random name generators can only be so funny because the set of permutations is finite, but "Oral Quest" has got to be the funniest one yet.

    You either have a bed in your inventory, or are standing on one. Press "T" to use items. And then select the bed.

    Any bed in a town will work until you get your own.
