Really more of suggestions than bugs, but after some gameplay there are a few things I've noticed I'd like to see added/changed:
1) Walking speed - it seems really slow and IMO is dragging down my gameplay. Could you put an option to turn up the speed. If there already is one I haven't found it.
2) Combat speed - Similar, but turn up combat speed. Especially for enemies. When we get into 10+ enemies the turns can really start to drag on.
3) Either a second quick menu, or an out of combat menu that switched whether in and out of combat. It mostly for the rogue for her core abilities, but the cleric could also benefit from an out of combat menu. A second menu would definitely benefit the wizard though, I have 4ish spells I use, and will switch to five once I unlock it, so not having to go in every time and move my talents around would really be great.
Otherwise, its a great game! Really enjoyed it.

underableedingsun - I have moved this to Wish List since its not bugs. 1) On our list. 2) On our list. 3) On our list, will be implemented in a way that is ready for PC, small phones, and other devices we are supporting. It won't be an in/out of combat menu, as that is a pretty confusing UI and overly complex solution to the problem. We will be addressing it next year! Thanks! We hope to knock through these in early 2014 and hope you'll be pleased!

Ya, sorry, I always suck at finding the appropriate places to post my threads:)
Played quite a bit more. I must say the so far (other than things mentioned) I am really enjoying this game. The setting reminds me a lot of an indie rpg I play called Avernum. Not sure if you drew any inspiration from it, but it feels very similar. Really enjoying the storyline so far and the setting.
Can't wait to see the new characters and levels. Thanks for another great game, you guys rock!

underableedingsun - never heard of Avernum, though at least one gamer on Google Play accused of us having "lifted" our story and gave us a 1 Star and a "how about coming up with your own idea devs?" What love

Having played all the Avernum games, and love them, I just want to say the semblance is clear. However, it is a setting thing. Not at all a story thing. They are both fantasy games set underground. There should be room for more than one game in that setting.

Ya, certainly a setting thing not a storyline thing. Hope no offense was taken!

No worries! We know Heroes is a fully original game  I have to admit, I don't really play games that aren't made by a Trese (what a snob!), so its impossible for me to have discovered Avennum before. Really more of a timing issue hehe |

The setting in Avernum is totally different than Heroes, at least as far as I can tell from Wikipedia and the reviews i read. At least the 1-star guy remembered "underground world" and skipped all the details like how/when/why. Everyone in this "underground world" space is ripping off HG Wells anyway, right? We should all be fired Sigh. |

What love How silly, there always seems to be some review like that about any game. Like Cory was saying about H.G. Wells. You could say all fantasy games were "Lifted" the day Gary Gygax picked up a pencil, a piece of graph paper and some dice, to give birth to D&D. |

Gary Gygax was just ripping Tolkien, wasn't he? =)

This one always makes me laugh - trying to trace back who "ripped off who." We all build on the shoulders of giants. Somewhere way back when, there were some real bad asses with swords who actually killed other people in wars and carved out savage kingdoms. Isn't everything fantasy ripping them off? |

Often people exchange the word "inspiration" with the word "copy", it's sad to hear or to read...Instead, it's a very normal thing take older elements from a game/book/etc and re-assemble them to create a whole new thing... an unique thing, every time u make this in a very good way...like u TB Btw, tolkien got ideas from medieval history, this is to copy something? Bah |

LOL great comments, sitting here smiling after reading them. On thing that can't be ripped off, there are no limits to the imagination. HOS is a finely cut polished gem!  |

Bah Tolkien? Oh, gee...some strange Catholic mysticism, the Bible, various epics, the sources are too numerous. Now if you really want some serious rip off artistry, look at the Warhammer 40K backstory. GW rips off every-darn-body. Heh, Arnie makes a movie about an unkillable robot and <poof> you get Necrons, skeletal robot warriors that can stand back up after being killed using their "We'll Be Back" special rule. |
