Need Android testers for DCSS ASCII mobile fork

Hi guys, I’m forking the abandoned DCSS android console version and will be keeping the game updated. This is an ASCII only portrait-mode focused version.

My fork brings the game up to v0.34.1 and I’ve also added a bunch of UI, performance, and other feature improvements. Open to additional suggestions and feedback as well.

Before I can launch on Play store, I need some testers. If anyone is interested, please DM me so I can send an invite!

interesting! would be nice to have more detail in the readme on what ui changes/features have been added

Yeah sorry, my first time doing this. Mainly these for now:

  • Versioned up to 0.34.1
  • Added main menu quick start and newbie guide
  • Main game UI now a vertical stack (as seen in the screenshot), but with horizontal drag scrolling for long messages.
  • Many in-game menus now single vertical stack, esp. character creation and skills training.
  • 9-grid screen overlay tap controls can long-press to continuously move or sleep.
  • Resizable map tiles area.
  • More fullsome config and save game backups (mainly for versioning but you could scum if you really want).
  • Much faster asset loading.
  • Lots of Android API 35+ stability and bug fixes.
