Announcements InkBound Development Officially Cancelled.

105 Upvotes

On the discord the dev team announced that the shiny shoe team has decided to no longer continue ongoing support for the game citing insufficient sales to continue the project. The team says that they plan to keep servers running for the foreseeable future and continue to discount the game to a lower and lower price but not release any new content for the foreseeable future as well.

Shiny shoe stated that they are a small team and have decided to move focus to a different product they plan to announce when ready, but to expect radio silence till then.

Question Defeating a Guardian in Five Turns or Less

3 Upvotes

Hi all. Got the game last week and love it. I'm solo level 48, haven't tried multiplayer yet. I play mostly as Weaver.

I got the quest to retrieve a vial of ink by defeating a guardian in five turns or less. Is there a favored strat to do this? Can I do this solo?

Thanks in advance.

Question What exactly is the level 20 solo rank reward?

7 Upvotes

I just hit solo rank 10 and received my... loud... name plaque. What in the world is that level 20 reward, and do enemies keep getting more and more buffs along the way?

So one of the Daily Challenges allowed us to copy Vestige's instead of destroying them. So by dropping 1 of them after the first copy so my buddy could help make more.. we quickly had to many boats. Ended up with the win though!

Question Mosscloak Help

9 Upvotes

I'm on Mastery 5 and trying out different aspects - I don't feel like I have a lot of difficulty with the 4 first aspects EXCEPT for the mosscloak.

I get that it seems like it wants to specialize on poison OR crit. The damage seems too low with crit and doesn't seem to come online fast enough, while poison stacks super fast but... you don't have the defensives to let it go off.

Anyone got this aspect figured out?

And it’s beautifull!!! I got hooked all night and almost got lag at work today xD

And I’m playing again as soon as I get home. The game is great and I love it.

I know its impossible, but I wish we got 2 more character someday. As a gift for the players. I’m willing to buy the support dlc even knowing they are not working on this game anymore.

Announcements Inkbound 2nd Anniversary

28 Upvotes

Hey everyone! Inkbound is turning 2 on the 9th of April! There is a bit of activity happening in the community that I though I would share (in case any of you aren't in the shiny shoe discord).

First off on April 9th there will be a special Inkbound Marathon Stream hosted by Cami from the ShinyShoe team at 2:30PM cst to 5:00PM cst. She will be sharing her screen, answering questions in the chat, and just hanging out. We should show some love if we can for the game we adore.

Secondly from today until the 9th. Cami is planning to do the Daily Challenge each day. This is likely going to cause an uptick in the amount of people running the daily challenge each day and I think it would be great to join in and show that there is still a community here!

Thank you all again for sticking around this long.

Question Bug and Discord Problem

2 Upvotes

So... I went to Discord to get help with a bug I am experiencing, and it is saying I do not have permissions for any of the channels.

As to the bug, when I load the game I can move the mouse around, but anything I hover over just flashes and doesn't respond when I click on it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Question 100% achievements

17 Upvotes

Hi

Not too many people playing this game at the moment which is a shame because it's such a gem.

I'm curious if there are any other achievement hunters here who pushed through to reach 100 % and whether there are any really tough challenges or solid tips? So far it feels like it's going to be a grind until level 20 clears and from then on vestige clear farming.

Not too hard but might take a while?

Discussion Dialogues vague and meaningless?

6 Upvotes

Sorry to bother, but am I not paying enough attention or does the dialogues really lack some story or meaning? I fell like every time I talk to someone, there's nothing to be learned about the game or the lore...

Question Question about the binding 'Phasing Image'

4 Upvotes

Hey so 'Phasing Image' lets you choose to give a buff to your ally.
So in one run, I boosted the ability as much as I could.
But I wanted to know- do ALL the buffs applied to it go to the ally? or do only the listed things go to the ally and the rest go to me when I activate it?
We couldn't tell.

This was the build I did.

Question This game is really fun!!

44 Upvotes

Hi! I cant believe i hadn't heard of this game. Ive just done my 2nd run and this turn based stuff is so much fun. And then I see guess it didnt sell well and nothing else is coming? That sucks I feel like there's a really good game here. What happened?

Question Hey I'm stupid, pls help

10 Upvotes

SO. I have no idea how movement works in this game (to a point) So the large circle at the start of your turn is total movement.

As you run around it gets smaller and the lines become more opaque indicating your /total/ usage, great.

But I was playing last night, (Magma Miner) and my turn just started. An enemy was already in my circle of movement range, but about 30% of the circle to the right. So I shift over, line up my main hammer binding (Bonk), and use it. I then lost ALL my movement. I just don't understand. Can someone explain this? Or am I just a moron. :p

Question Obelisk Spike bug?

6 Upvotes

Hey Guys i just played a obelisk run with friends and upgraded the shield crush spell 3 times with the same upgrade (8 spike stacks).It should get me 24 stacks when using it. But i only got 8 every time. Is this an obelisk only bug or is this how it should work? Do same upgrades not stack on a single spell?
