I'm curious why you used the art for Creation instead of Evolution

A great mod with beautiful artwork and engaging game play.

You are fucking based, this game is godlike.

On further testing trigger shadows immediately seems to be broken and not dealing the right amount of damage.

This is a really well made character. She feels both fun and balanced. Adapt feels a little weak and boss swap feel very strong but overall the balance feels spot on. Her card draw is pretty limited but not non existant, This is only a first impression but I have played 1000's of hours of a20 heart.

The artwork is beatiful too.

isnt this character from a porn game?

Just got through my first successful run of this character. Definitely needs some strategizing that build on the ideas of the core game without overblowing it. This really feels like a StS character once you get used to it.

Very well done mod. It is a lot to swallow. But once you get a hold of how the genes works, then scaling is much easier then the base characters.

I found that ignoring all but 5 gene types made slaying the spire much more enjoyable. Also adapt sounds strong but takes investment to the point where I had difficulty trying to get a ridiculous adaptation build going. Gonna definitely try to reach ascension level 20 with this character.

9/10 You will get the tenth star if you add an ending victory scene. Maybe on the victory scoreboard have the background be a rotating dna strand or something still if moving pictures are too hard.

I've had so many ways to win that it's just hilarious. Most recent was shadow/lust/plant/DarkDesires
mageofthesands 25 Aug, 2021 @ 5:21pm 
I found this kit to be a lot of fun. I went to Ascension 20 with it, no two runs alike. Sure, I gravitate to Lizard and poison spam. But what genes are along side it? Lava? Succubus? Both? Or perhaps the first random gene cards in the starter deck will suggest a Shadow strategy. Or something else. It can also be fun to just go with chaos and cycle those genes for a variety of effects.

Start of run: Comparing mechanics and memorizing pictures.
End of run: Things are happening and it's kinda cool.

This is a fine take on orbs, but my one concern before going in affirmed itself the more I was playing: "Interspecies synergy" is fun and thematic, but it also leads to feature creep where too many cards can do too many different things depending on the circumstances. It's not a deal breaker but worth thinking about from a core design perspective.

PS: Were my eyes deceiving me or is Adapt supposed to Evoke?

The issue i have with this mod is that it's not obvious how to use it properly. Once you get going tho, its just so low damage and weaker than the mains. Was fun for a run, but idk it felt really outta balance with everything else in the game.
MorsVoluntaria 26 Jul, 2021 @ 6:41am 
fun
Silverain 23 Jul, 2021 @ 4:02pm 
I managed to complete a basic run on my second attempt and I agree with @MirageOwl and @brickey.8 The lovely artwork and concept hides a complex character with many possible builds each with their own.

My own success was with a growth max slots deck that initially focused on rotating through Lizard and insect before expanding out into succubus, plants and a bit of everything. All supported by exhaust blocks and fully upgraded blocks/strikes (courtesy of ?). It felt like a mess of a build that struggled initially due to inconstant block levels but the vast amount of debuffs and effects really made me have to think through every turn whilst still keeping a fast pace.

I really like this character, more so then the standard ones supplied with the game.
Great job!

This is cursed...
MirageOwl 27 Jun, 2021 @ 4:30am 
First of all the art is so cute and pretty in this mod. I love the art <3.

The complexity of the character is really high and leads to making less informed descisions compared to playing normal characters while still playing in a relatively fast fashion. That being said I really liked the introduced mechanics, they are very fun.

Dunno about the balance (but then, I also felt the 'canon' slot-user to be overpowered when I started playing them), but I otherwise love the character.
The two randomized-form cards stand out as especially polished, to me, with how they encourage different decks and the way they upgrade.
I wish the adaption and imprinting options were used more, though. To give me more leeway in building my own deck, rather than pushing me into giving up and building for orb-slots so I can cycle more genes and still have the ones I need.
brickey.8 8 Jun, 2021 @ 8:34pm 
Very well designed character. The number of different forms is initially overwhelming, but you struck a good balance of rewarding deck focus while not punishing the player for adding cards that don't match the theme (since having the wrong form makes you lose the bonus effect but gain an extra evoke, and many cards just channel without checking your form or adapt genes as fast as you can channel them without caring what type). The evoke effects all feel decently balanced, each one feeling rewarding in bulk but not overpowering unless you build around it, and with the cards associated with each form fitting a coherent theme. All of the rares that I got to play with in two runs felt exciting to use.

One bug I noticed: Adaptive Defense+ says that it adapts up to 6 times, but it actually adapts 7 times before it stops. I didn't try with the attack version or with the unupgraded version, but I would check those too.
Raven 4 Jun, 2021 @ 9:40am 
I love this mod! It seems like weird monster girl shit but honestly I don't care and I don't want to look into it because I'd rather not ruin this for my eyeballs.
ChadowT98 1 Jun, 2021 @ 10:24pm 
This mod is great, the amount of genes and keyword added is huge, and it's a good thing to me, as after playing 400+ hours of StS it made me feel as if I was discovering the game again.
Also, love the art, maybe I shouldn't have checked the source (lol) but it looks great for the mod
tuti250  [author] 10 May, 2021 @ 6:11am 
Some people have offered to translate it but I need to fix some things in the code first, the keywords are hard-coded.
rabbit 10 May, 2021 @ 4:53am 
will this mod have chinese?
it's really a good mod in my opinion
GOOD JOB
:steamthumbsup:
tuti250  [author] 9 May, 2021 @ 1:12pm 
@mahobilli2002 Thanks for the criticisme! I understand that Evo is confusing at first. The 11 orbs match the base species of Portals of Phereon and changing them would be too large a change. I agree that there are a lot of keywords and I'll try to remove some, at the same time I want to keep the effects unique and interesting. As for facerolling trough the game, I'm not sure what to do. I think it's normal to beat the game on Ascension 0 without much difficulty but playing cards randomly should still get you killed.
Are there cards, relics or mechanics in particular that made your run easy? You can use the Balance discussion to let me know which card are too strong or weak or what changes you would like to see.

And also thanks everyone for the nice comments!
Vulpixon732 9 May, 2021 @ 6:23am 
As much as Evolution was really confusing at start, after I learnt how she actually works,
I never had so much fun in Slay the Spire.

Really great, playable and impressive mod.
mahobilly2002 8 May, 2021 @ 2:45pm 
There are some cool ideas here, and a lot of potential, but at the end of the day, it's not for me. It needs to be streamlined and trimmed back. Honestly, I would probably cut the number of genes and new keywords in half and focus on making them work well together while still forcing you to make hard choices. As it stands, it didn't feel like it mattered which cards I played in which order. So many effects would stack up that I'd win without even trying. Eventually I just picked and played cards at random and did just fine. Again, some cool ideas here but a little too much going on for my tastes. Nice art though.

True men of culture know where that art is from
noel.set 3 May, 2021 @ 8:42pm 
Great mod! On top of the good balance and great artwork, it seems to have quite a diverse array of decent builds.
Thang.Cao 3 May, 2021 @ 8:34pm 
Wow,
Thank you, really appreciate your work. :steamfacepalm:, just WOW!!!
I love her, both in this mod and "Portals of Phereon" ;).:steamhappy:
tuti250  [author] 3 May, 2021 @ 4:38am 
Yes, Phoenix can proc Eruption multiple times if enough genes are adapted. Every time a Lavafolk gene deals damage Eruption ticks down.
Ashardalon 2 May, 2021 @ 4:39pm 
not sure whats causing it but sometimes eruption triggers twice
think its related to phoenix
tuti250  [author] 1 May, 2021 @ 9:33am 
Thanks! The only visuals that are not finished are Battleborn and Playing Rough, which use the base game art for Inflame and Uppercut respectively. The art that doesn't feature characters like Toxin, Absorption or Crystal Shard was made by Verburner, who also has his own mods for StS, The art that feature a character usually comes from Portals of Phereon by Syvaron. In some cases I added clothes or removed explicit body parts of the nude character. There is only 1 card art that was made from a sex scene. If you want to see the explicit versions and have the legal age to do so you can check Portals of Phereon.
Dragonface 1 May, 2021 @ 3:47am 
Man, i'm loving this character! Lots of interesting builds, Not nearly as spammy as a lot of other characters, Nicely implemented visuals(not counting the stuff that's clearly unfinished, of course!). I appreciate a character who has enough going that you can get vastly different experiences between runs, yet the character still doesn't feel like they're forcing you into just a few specific playstyles. Good job!
So... how much of the card art is cropped p*rn?
Ashardalon 26 Apr, 2021 @ 10:21am 
a very interesting and fun character
some card costs are a little weird, like hatch being 2 cost
i can kindof understand it as insect is one of the most synergistic forms, but your basically paying 2 for an iron wave in base stats after you synergize
you need to combo it a lot to really make it worth the cost
tuti250  [author] 26 Apr, 2021 @ 6:27am 
Thanks everyone!
I'm not a fan of the form->form thing anymore. I'll try to rework them. I have opened a Suggestions discussion if you have an idea to rework Toxin, Pheromones or Battleborn please share it there!

TheNamelessCaptain 25 Apr, 2021 @ 5:51pm 
Very fun character! even though the channeling is similar to the defect, it requires a different kind of thinking than just "spam and evoke everything". The adapt mechanic is really interesting too, making your cards more powerful at the expense of current buffs. The only thing that is a little weird is the form->form keyword and it would be nice if there was a tooltip for what it means exactly
TheSuperPoop 25 Apr, 2021 @ 5:29pm 
I know what this is... I approve.Fun character.
Sagil 25 Apr, 2021 @ 5:10pm 
Great character - interesting new mechanics, good balance and neat graphics. :steamhappy:
One minor thing I'm not a big fan of is the "form -> form" mechanic: feels like a needless complication, but if kept could use a tooltip.
Fate Inker 25 Apr, 2021 @ 4:47pm 
This character is awesome! They've become my new favorite! Can we expect a "The Creation" character in the future?
