Guys, I need your opinion :) Please spend a few seconds to answer one question :)
I've received an interesting and reasonable suggestion from josgba2002 to make energy replenish for everyone once a day at certain time instead of current individual 24 hours resting time.
I, personally, fully support this idea, but I would love to know your opinion as well before making this change.
Please answer this one simple question here, or share your opinion on it here, you will help me a lot :) Thank you!

100% support this suggestion :) It will be implemented as soon as possible.

I have a problem joining the group, I get an error saying there is an issue with Steam servers but I could log into your game server without any issue...

An important update has just been made!
From now on, the energy replenishes at 00:00 UTC once a day FOR EVERYONE (who is still alive). There is no more individual 24 hours resting time.
Everyone who registered and used all the energy yesterday before 00:00, now got additional 3 energy as a little bonus.
Enjoy the Game of sWords!

So, it`s been one day since the adventure started, let's see what we have!
- 265 people entered the dungeon :)
- 47 died during their adventure :(
That means that 218 people are still searching for the main treasure.
But only 50 of them can win the Game of sWords!
Don't forget that energy replenishment will happen soon (00:00 UTC), and you will be able to continue your journey!
If you still haven't spent all your energy points, it's a good idea to do it now :)

Looks like replenishment accidentally happened 3 hours earlier than it should have. Fixed it now, and gave everyone +1 energy as a an apology for this, possible, inconvenience.
Comment has been collapsed.
How is that an inconvenience? Isn't that more of a convenience since It gives people faster energy regen?
Just wondering haha

Some people will have to wait 3 extra hours because of that, it might be an inconvenience for them.

No offense but I HATE games with energy, with a passion.
Other than that I'll check it out but if it's worthwhile even though it's probably IMPOSSIBLE to win.
Comment has been collapsed.
It is very much possible, if you look at some statistics below, you'll see that only around 15% of all the adventurers have died so far. This scenario is quite short, and shouldn't take longer than 3 days to complete.

First move I make today and I'm already dead. And permanently, apparently. Fun.
Thank you for the giveaway, though.
Comment has been collapsed.
It happens :) I'm sure you'll be more lucky in the next Games! They will be be held on a regular basis.

I have a key. Yes. But i have to admit that i've wasted few energy points on clicking back or on the walls :/
Comment has been collapsed.
Woah, you are one of two guys who have already found the key! The other guy is now dead though :)

Simplified Navigation Mode has been added!
For all those who sometimes get confused and disoriented with current "control scheme", I've made an option to switch to the Simplified navigation mode. You can switch it in the right top corner of the screen. In that mode the control buttons will not change depending on your current direction - they will be fixed (Go North, Go South, Go West or Go East).

Nice idea, sadly I have little time to try it now. Probably I'll wait the next adventure

Time to see some results of the Day 2!
- 320 people have entered the dungeon :)
- 74 of them have already died :(
- Nobody has won the Game yet, so all 50 winners' places are still vacant :)
The next day will start in 3 hours, when the energy will be replenished again :) Don't forget to use all your remaining energy until then! Good luck!
Comment has been collapsed.
Congratulations!! :) You'll be invited to the WInners' group to join the prize giveaways as soon as the Game ends!

Day 3 comes to an end! Let's see what we have at this moment:
- 368 adventurers have entered the dungeon :)
- 96 of them are already dead :(
- Aaand, we finally got our first Winners! 2 adventurers have successfully claimed the main treasure, and I bet we will see many more winners on Day 4!
- 48 winners' places are still vacant :)
The next day will start in less than 3 hours! :) Don't forget to use all your remaining energy until then! Good luck!

Day 4 has just begun! Time to continue the adventure!

Crap, I came here late. :P Ah well! Seems pretty cool, and I'm pumped that it works on my phone too! (Currently out of town, so no computer) I've got a sword too, so in 22 hours I'm gonna be living large. ^^

Yes, it should work almost perfectly on mobile devices :) Glad you like it, good luck in your adventure!

Hello SteamGifters! All of us like playing games, and all of us like winning games. So, how about playing a game and winning games while playing?
Introduction
I am excited to introduce Game of sWords - a text Adventure/Quest where you can explore dungeons (or other locations), complete quests, solve puzzles, find useful items, avoid deadly traps and fight dangerous monsters while searching for treasures (SteamGifts giveaways links) on your way and trying to reach the end to find the Main Treasure (a set of great non-bundle giveaways)! Each Game (of sWords) will usually have a unique scenario and a limited number of winners, so the chances will always be great.
Game of sWords is currently in a testing stage, so there might be some bugs or other problems during the Game, and I would be glad if you reported them if you experience any :)
Current Game
In the current (testing) scenario, you start the Game in the dungeon and you have to find the treasure chest. You have 7 energy points at start, which you can use to either move in any available direction or check a wall or other obstacle near you (you might find a useful item or a treasure anywhere). If you run out of energy, you will have to wait until 00:00 UTC when your energy will be replenished and you will be able to continue your journey. Resting time and number of energy will differ depending on the scenario (current one is quite short). It will usually take a few days to complete a journey (well, if you won't die during your first day :) ).
The information in the top left corner will tell you your current coordinates, direction and the amount of energy you have.
Note
Current Game doesn't have any special story or wide variety of events or items. It also doesn't have too many "treasures" at the moment. It was made to show you the basic concept of the project as well as test the server load.
Your support is invaluable!
I hope you will enjoy it and support the project, because its future depends on you! Please join the Steam Group to get all the news and notifications about new Games and features, as well as share your ideas and suggestions to help the development.
By the way, there is a Bonus Giveaway for everyone who joins the group! :)
If you are a creative person who can make up an interesting story for the future Game, feel free to add me on Steam and share it with me. It doesn't have to be set in a fantasy dungeon :) It can be a sci-fi or horror adventure, or any other kind.
Future plans
In the near future, everyone will be able to create his/her own adventure with unique story, events, rules, etc. using the special Scenario Editor. If all goes well, it will become a unique platform, another creative way to make giveaways for SteamGifts (like itstoohard or so called "trains" :) ).
The project will be constantly developed: new items, event types and even game modes will be added gradually. The Games (of sWords) will be held once in a while, probably every couple of weeks, it depends on how much free time and support I will have :)
Time to start the adventure!
You will be asked to log in through Steam to join the Game. The login process goes through the official steamcommunity.com website (always make sure the address is correct!) using Steam API and it is not possible to collect any personal data like your address, age, login or password with it unless such data is made public by you, so the process is absolutely safe.
The giveaways have no level restrictions, and you don't need to meet any special requirements to start playing, so everyone is invited!
P.S. I have no idea how many people will take part in the Game and whether the current server will handle it, so if any loading problems appear, I'll try to upgrade it as soon as possible ;P
So,
Join the official group
and
Start playing now!
