I compiled it and played just enough to get the idea and ensure the code worked. I found it was easier to click on a spot rather than move to it. If you have ever played Hyperrogue or similar hex based games, the movement is the same and just takes time to get accustomed to it. I'm not sure what can be done about the map issues to "smooth" out the edges as it were. I think the mod would have to be built from the ground up to accomplish that, or, an additional sweep would need to be done to mask it. Again, I'm not the DEV of this mod, I merely found it and thought it worth mentioning.

The DEV includes his contacts on his Git site.

 

Dmitry Tyurnikov is a Russian programmer who enjoys modding games. He tends toward changing game physics using many of the mathmatics in Hyperrogue.

He has created a SPD v3.0.2 mod that uses hexagonal tiles. Although not a new concept (D&D maps used hex grids), so far as I know this is the first implimentation of hex grid physics in a PD mod.

His mod does not show up on Reddit, whose members were very anti hexagonal when proposed by others in years past.

Nor does his mod appear as a fork of SPD.

If it is on Playstore, Google's 5h!tty search engine doesn't reveal it. Although the code is posted on Github it does not appear in Micro$oft's 5h!tty search engine as a new SPD mod unless searched specifically by name. It was incidental to my researching another mod that I stumbled upon this one.

Although nowhere near the end of the year, I thought I'd let the PD community know that I have been keeping up on the updates and new releases or old finds as best as I can.

Too, I have been improving the code used to create the reports. The icon extractor has gone from 20% accuracy to 90%. The hangups tend to be wherein no ic_launcher, no forground or background, and no mipi exist and an XML is used to point to an improperly named image. For this a simple manual correction is made. Of the more than 500 PD's less than 80 needed correcting, and, it is no longer doing the wrong APK icon.

I finally trapped the UTF-8 Asian characters to handle those APK's names and titles.

The data extraction is now 100%. I have an improved SDK list.

I found a better PDF compressor and I have broken the PDF into pages. Although a single page looks better, several people complained that it caused their viewers to crash whereas multiple page PDF seems to work fine for all.

An example of the new format - Here one can see that the DEV failed to give the mod a unique name or package name. This APK can therefor only be identified by filename or signature.

The archive totals to date -

 

Does anyone know what happened to the developement of this mod, Heroes of Pixel Dungeon?

Posted on Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/PixelDungeon/comments/1fopyoc/introducing_my_mod_heroes_of_pixel_dungeon_and/

Developement seems to have ceased. The dev doesn't respond. His Github site only has the SPD repository cloned with no mods.

It seems that a beta mod was released in a limited fashion for testing but I cannot locate the apk.

Understood. No bad feelings.

FYI, I purchased a copy, $0.49 now, which is itself very suspecious.

I decompiled and examined. It appears to be your SPD v2.5.4 with only 2 changes. The package has been renamed to com.pixel.dungeon and the icon has been changed. Otherwise, it doesn't appear altered.

Actually, this pisses me off. If it had a significant mod at least it might have been worth something. Too, that is money being stolen away from 00-Evan. Anyhow, I'm letting this drop. I'll note it in the releases report I do and hope Google burries it.

 

It has been mentioned for several days on other sites, but not here. Be warned, this is a scam.

Nice asthetics updates. Flickering sconces would be nice.

These barrels are a little better and you are free to use them.

Try throwing some sheep into a room of grim death traps. Sad.

Screenshots from my mod of SPDv3.0.1 on my Zeki tablet running Android 4x. Still working great!

Whenever I compile a PD, I do all my work in a Virtual Machine and keep all data used.

VMware recently made VM software free for personal use.

I don't compile apps with intent to release them through Playstore.

It would be extra work to maintain a 4x build, but it could be done if the libraries were stored in an offline VM.

Perhaps someone else would be willing to work with you on maintaining the project.

I just hate to think that Google can force millions of users to have to buy new devices just to keep updating the game.

I'll keep updating until it fails and then I'll just have to play newer versions on newer devices.

It really a shame that programmers are forced to make unnecessary changes.

FYI, still working on my Android 4 Zeki tablet 😃

My first ascent on v3. Seemed to be more challenging than prior releases. Skeletons on level 2 dishing out 25 points of damage.

Now to give the Cleric a workout.

Can't wait until they finally release the movie 🎦

Not many people are aware of this book and how it explains the first age and the creation of the races, the Balrog, and the wizards 🧙‍♂️

JoJo's Bizarre Dungeon is a graphical retheme of SPD by Ongoro.

A few versions back, it stopped working. I thought it was due to API changes with Android 14, but it wasn't. The discussion can be read on this Reddit post -

I have decompiled 2.0L, based on SPD v2.5.4, and patched it.

This version works great on my Samsung Galaxy running Android 13 English 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

It is hosted on a temporary share server. I ask that someone download and share it.

I'm doing a 6 challenge and got trapped in a treasure room. The Great Crab 🦀 cannot be injured and I cannot escape. Had to end this game. I've played hundreds if not thousands of games and never had this happen before.

 

Huntress made it on the first run. I really like the new Upgrade system.

One creepy thing... killed a Monk rushing at me just as he was passing a chest. His remains ended up inside. So wrong. I had to open that chest once I found the key. You don't want to know how bad it smelled inside.

 

Gladiator ascended. No obvious bugs. I like the remade menu. Balance is decent.

I just had to test the newest SPD 2.5.0b3 on the oldest Android device I have, and I am proud to say that it works great!

My old Zeki nearly went into the trash this month as nearly all support for 4x has ceased. Then I discovered XPlayer, a 3rd party app designed to run MKV movies in h265 format. Along with WiFi FTP I am able to stream quality movies on this old tablet.

Better still, I can now play one of the best roguelikes ever on it! Thank you 00-Evan for not writing off older hardware.
