If you would like to play on a 32-bit computer, there is actually a legacy .JAR build available on github: https://github.com/00-Evan/shattered-pixel-dungeon/releases

Note that it requires a separate Java installation on your computer.

Yes, the beta for v2.5 should be available on all platforms.

Unfortunately multiplayer isn’t really feasible to add. Aside from all of the networking code I would need to add (even on LAN), the game itself is entirely designed around one player. Most of the game’s systems would break or need serious changes to work in multiplayer, and even then gameplay would be very awkward as you would spend most of your time waiting for other players to take their turns.

I’m afraid I don’t have a W11 machine to test with currently, does any sort of error message appear?

I can’t say what might be causing the cursor to disappear in particular, but it’s likely some mix of the new record function and the custom mouse cursor that Shattered uses. You might consider seeing if there’s an ‘enable mouse cursor’ recording setting, or using more well-tested recording software, such as OBS.

Odd, that really sounds like the game is running somewhere and thinks it’s in focus when you’re on the desktop. I’d suggest restarting your computer to see if that fixes it, hopefully it won’t come back.

Shattered has triggered false positives on antivirus software before. It should clear up in a few days after they correct the error in their virus definitions.

I appreciate the desire for something like this, but adding meta progression would change the genre of the game. Shattered is a traditional roguelike (lots of folks call games like Rogue Legacy roguelites), and one of the points of that genre is that each run is independent from the others. You have the exact same potential to win on your first run as you do on your 100th.

Shattered does also have a .jar version available on github, which will run on x86 windows if you download an x86 version of java. https://github.com/00-Evan/shattered-pixel-dungeon/releases

The game is open source so probably some modifications with that functionality do exist, but I have no intention of putting cheats into the main game. The closes you could get to that is seeded runs, which would let you find certain items every time if you get the right seed.

There are free downloads both here on itch.io and also on github: https://github.com/00-Evan/shattered-pixel-dungeon/releases
