Thanks! Feel free to join the discord server; there are a fair few people helping out in different ways. Not all of them require coding experience and if you ARE a coder, the game is open source, so you can do that too!
Pardon me, but the way the downloads are structured breaks for itch v25 users. Itch has a tool for this exact situation called butler. Its documentation is here: https://itch.io/docs/butler/ If you could update the downloads to use it, app users could play this properly again! Thanks!
Hi all. Sorry about the delay in updates. Real life was a bit crazy but gamedev is slowly picking up again. The next patch should hit soon-ish and will feature a very basic alchemy profession and a dozen or so bug fixes.
Also I feel this game REALLY needs a map. And if you would give me your preferred sprite/pixel editor and the sprites for your terrain I could go around the map and copy it onto a map. Then again you could do this yourself although I would be happy to help lessen the work load.
Will you ever bring this to mobile. I feel that if you put this an the App Store you could make it free or for money (I would recommend $1-$2) it would be incredibly successful. With the auto fire feature it wouldn’t be too hard and if you used a D-pad you could also have a small button to hide it (allowing full screen access). Maybe after alchemy, ships and guilds are a thing it would be a thing to work on. This is just my opinion but it would allow me to fight my archdeamons, with my friends, on the go.
When is the next patch coming :P. Looking forward to the skill tree! Also think that the sprite for the ground and water could use a little rework! (The current sprite for dirt is like 4 dots of brown XD)
This game is awesome so far, the movement controls are pretty unique in my opinion, never really seen the movement before. Love how its a small community so you will be able to know a lot of people. And its awesome that you can play it in a browser, so you dont need to download anything like on a friends PC for example. Nice work so far, I hope to be able to stick around for a long while ;)
This game is absolutely amazing. If you are taking constructive criticism, then i suggest that you add a better place in the main world for higher-level players. :) keep up the AMAAAAAZING work!
This is usually due to being behind a proxy. To play, you can navigate to this url which will force the browser to use xhr-polling instead of websockets. It's a bit more laggy, but at least works.
Hi there! Thanks for the feedback. Isleward mostly 'caters' for people who are into classic (ascii) roguelikes and the like so this minimalist style is what we're going for.
That said, Isleward supports custom sprite packs so if anyone is interested, they're welcome to submit their own ones!
This is cool! Colors are a bit wonky but it plays well. Personally I'd prefer if the character moved immediately when I press the arrow keys but that's okay. Good work!
Already an insanely fun game. Considering this game is in alpha that really says a lot due to the amount of content already implemented. There's tons of loot, enemies, places to explore and lots of secrets. I am excited for updates on this game and I hope the end turns out great. Cheers!

I downloaded the windows version and I have 32 bit windows but I get a message saying that the app cannot run on my device
Sorry about that. We built new binaries that still need to be uploaded. I'll do that within the next week.

Thanks for the info! I'll have a look and fix it for you in the next week or two.
i just downloaded the game and im struggling to play could someone help me know the basics of where to go and how to get money?
Not sure if anyone answered your question already, but all the info is on the wiki: http://wiki.isleward.com/Main_Page
re money: kill critters - get loot - sell loot for money; you can sell stuff to the hermit on the south end of the island near where you start
Fyi, all the chat is over on Discord

Awesome game i'm so addicted , but you should add more levels and mobs
should be volcanic like temple of lava. what i think is that this game needs a little touch of fire...
Yeah they should add that
beautiful game. nothing else to say. just asking do you have the name for the new dungeon? and when are you gonna open estrids shop? :)
Also I feel this game REALLY needs a map. And if you would give me your preferred sprite/pixel editor and the sprites for your terrain I could go around the map and copy it onto a map. Then again you could do this yourself although I would be happy to help lessen the work load.

Are you still developing the game?
Of course. Jump on discord for frequent updates. New version dropping in less that two weeks.
When is the next patch coming :P. Looking forward to the skill tree! Also think that the sprite for the ground and water could use a little rework! (The current sprite for dirt is like 4 dots of brown XD)
Some simple music would also be great! :)

It would be great if we can add players into a "friend list" and check if they're online <3 love ya!
I love the game, it's just amazing. A really cool feature would be a block player button.
Thanks! Mod tools are coming in v0.1.11 probably (so 2 patches from now) and this will include this feature :p
Thank you for developing this amazing game.
Is it normal that my screen turns blue and red at random whenever i move? It makes everything very unclear
You need to enable WebGL in your browser to fix that as well as hardware acceleration.

There's been a bunch of griefers just insulting people non-stop for hours, a ignore button would be nice since it's really annoying.
Working hard on moderator tools. But an ignore button is a good idea. Will add it sometime soon.
You should also make a separated channel for whispers, so we could at least whisper to friends while we ignore the trolls.
@playerName message
Yes but if you mute the players chat, you can't see either whispers or global. I meant having whispers and global has two different chats.
This game is absolutely amazing. If you are taking constructive criticism, then i suggest that you add a better place in the main world for higher-level players. :) keep up the AMAAAAAZING work!
v0.2.0 is the place where this is happening man!
Hello Big Bad Waffle, is it okay if I buy the 20 dollar patron pass? :P
Haha, of course! Looking forward to the day I can work on Isleward full time due to patronage!
hi i downloaded this on my pc but when i launch it it just shows a purple screen
This is usually due to being behind a proxy. To play, you can navigate to this url which will force the browser to use xhr-polling instead of websockets. It's a bit more laggy, but at least works.
I like the concept, but I can't define anything on the screen. Needs more definition and better motion control. Otherwise great work!

Not work in my linux :( i am using KDE Neon :S
Sorry about that. The executables are a bit hacky.Maybe play in the browser for now? It's the exact same game.Updated binaries can be found here: https://gitlab.com/vildravn/isleward-electron/tags
ok :(
Modified my previous comment.
colors are a bit hard on the eyes tbh
OOHH GOD THIS IS SOOOOO GOOOOODDD
How soon will the newer updated version be coming out?
Probably on the 22nd. The Halloween event is coming!
What is required to play this on linux? It just hangs on a white screen.
Are you referring to the linux executable? It's possible that it doesn't work on all distros. You could try the web client for now?
Yeah I found the non-itch web version. Good enough.
Great game, can't wait to see where it's headed!
Hey, man. Keep up the good work. The game is really impressive, although it really could use some sound.a
The game looks awesome! I love the art!
The bad is roguelike games it's a difficult genere to find players, but the it's a really cool idea.

Is there a particular format you would like to get reports of bugs in?
Just a simple description of the error will suffice along with what you did you get it.
Also, you can press F12 to access chrome devtools and check the console to see if there are any console errors.
Thank you in advance!
I agree cat cookie!
Super fun, can't wait for more content!
Great game!
