Hello! Love the game. Doing a tileset for it. I am playing the Still Alive version, though i gotta try the Revived too. Question: It's been the second time i get absolutely stuck in the CHAR Underground Facility, because a shambler just decided to stand on the stairs, and there isn't anything i can do about it. Any ideas?

The required command is "Break object" -- use the X direction for "exit" to target the shambler in melee. The timing requirements are ugly, regardless. I had to build out considerable UI to enable a non-savescumming strategy for dealing with this. In Rogue Survivor Revived, the general technique would be (and I have used this in playtesting): - See that Energy stat I added to the UI (that was there all along)? If that reads above 50, running is a free move (i.e., you can run into the exit without risking being immediately chomped on). I also adjusted the one-turn rest command to reset energy to zero. You can sort of "infer this" by watching when your turn counter doesn't update when running, at least when not wearing heavy armor that slows you.
- Rogue Survivor Revived will show you the other side of the exit. That means you actually can see the shambler, including its "threat icon". If you have threat icons on, you can play this completely safe and back away when it would bite back.
- I also augmented ranged weapon targeting to go through exits, for Rogue Survivor Revived. So you aren't formally stuck with melee weapons (although good luck maintaining an ammo supply...I routinely run out of ammo starting on Day 3. You are competing against the police for resources.)

Thank you so much! That wasn't really that clear.
Sounds cool! I should probably try it sometime. Maybe whenever i finish this tileset. Anyways, glad you guys are still working on this pretty cool game, and thanks!

Hi stopsignal, apologies for not getting back to you when you posted. I actually created an issue for this one the RS:SA GitLab repository at the time: gitlab.com/RogueSurvivor-StillAlive/StillAlive/-/issues/34I definitely meant to reply at the time, as I would for anyone who took the time to register on these forums. However, 2020 saw me working no less than 80 hours per week at my job, and most weeks it was 100+. But I still should have replied nonetheless. The behaviour that you noticed is certainly something that should be fixed, as it's not at all clear what to do in that situation. The good news is that it's an easy fix. The bad news is that I'm not actively working on RS:SA these days. I do hope to return to it though. I'll make a quick post about that in the RS:SA thread, as it's a bit off-topic here.
