Insane Difficulty: Want to Beta Test? Sign here! - Insane Difficulty

As promised, the v.0.3.0 BETA patch has been sent to the 12 (!) beta testers listed!!!

Thank you everyone for your mad support! I promise you, now that I've done the heavy, analytical part of the mod, the updates should become a lot more routinary!!! Again, thank you so much for the patience and for your support!!!

All feedback should be posted in the thread I'm about to create!!!

Beta Testers, hold your testgasms (lel)

I'll be PM'ing you on MONDAY / THURSDAY, a test version including Day 3, 4 and 5, up until the Bubbleman fight.

It's gonna be AWESOME.

Edit: changed the day to give me some margin lol.

All the way up to day 5? I might as well get back on the bandwagon then.

I'm almost done with the actual modding, moving on to the testing once I get it finished.

Testers, expect a PM between tonight and tomorrow morning.

...I apologyze for the delay on this release. Christmas came with lots of shenanigans at my place.

I'm polishing Day 4 and Day 5 right now (things like HP, damage, etc). I should be able to send you guys the beta version today at night.

One thing to note is that the HP on lots of enemies has been reduced. Through testing, I've realised that the best way to go with the relocated enemies is that they have to be a lot squishier. On Day 3, you'll be experiencing thingslike Vineys, Puffballs, Momogras, which have a natural defense, for which giving them high HP would be overloading them. For the first 2 days, same happens to Elebees, Spikeys, Fishys. They are fast, disappear, they need less HP.

You'll love BeastMan and MetalMan. Those fights are pretty balanced, and make you move around and predict their moves. FlashMan Alpha is a bitch. I don't even wanna face FlashMan Beta right now, even if the chip's worth it.

Hello there! I'm a longtime fan of the EXE series and have played all of the ones released in America, and I have some experience with romhacks (nothing on Hex editing, though). I'd love to give this a try!

Hey Shuri! Welcome to ID.

I need to delete the Hex Editing part. Now, there's no beta versions being spread in PMs anymore. I'm taking a decent break from the modding (I'll probably get back to it next week though, it's been a good time already) because I'm essentially long burnt out. However, all content released in the current version needs as much testing as possible.

What I mean is, if you want to help with the beta testing, you can download the current version and give it a try, and let me know how it goes!

Hey there, I'm a longtime BN3 fan and have done a lot of work on theorycrafting for multiplayer, as well as having some speedrunning experience with this game. I'd love to test the different builds of this game if you'll allow me to, I've always thought the game could benefit from a difficulty mod.

Hey Drakodan, welcome to ID. As far as I remember, most of the changes I had planned in regards to chip rebalancing were already made and applied into the mod. The thing is, there's not an easy way to test the builds, because, for example, all mistery data and shops have been redesigned, and I've payed special attention for the player to have access to the most powerful tools in a limited stock or supply.

What that means is that, while the battle formations (aka the difficulty / content of the game) haven't been fully released yet, the new shops / mistery data / rewards have been hanged accordingly (and also, the rewards from every single virus has been edited as well). That means that in order to test the builds as you intend, you'd have to either have an intimate knowledge of how I've edited everything, or clear the game completely (with the vanilla formations for the unreleased content), and see what you can build with it.

I'm up to brainstorming if you can propose an alternative! Maybe I'm missing some other practical method that we could employ. I'm definitely interested in an experienced player (like a speedrunner) testing out aspects of the gameplay that me, as an enthusiast player can't do as well.

Sorry, when I said 'different builds' I just meant being included in any future releases you made, I should have worded that differently. I don't know anything about coding, I can just play the hell out of the game.

I was talking about mundane things, like save states and such, nothing as compared as digging the code btw

Is there anyway I can still signup for the beta? I love BN3 and would love to play this!

You can do it, just download and apply the patch that is on the download page

If you see carefully, this thread is not updated, the last version Hart posted to beta test is 0.3.0 and that was on 2014, right now WotU is on version 0.5.5

Hope you enjoy the mod, and if you could, please give some feedback, Hart will surely appreciate it.
