I have to say, you seem to update things fast. Who knows you might surpass Dungeon Lord (https://f95zone.to/threads/dungeon-lord-a-new-beginning-v0-2-2-dungeon-gaming.75431/) in terms of content and mechanics for dungeon management. So far it seems you put more emphasis in the RPG exploration part than dungeon management, but maybe that is not the main part of the game for you.
Thanks for letting me know. Seems I rushed the game out, and then rushed the patch out too... Ive corrected this, the mega download works now
I really want to enjoy it, but it's real buggy rn. Finding the flower doesn't update $Flower to true, and resetting defence rooms only resets room 1, traps for the demon cage, spider lair, and thief lure also only update room 1 no matter what room you're trying to update.
I had a look at your code, and the way you're updating your defence rooms requires a lot of hardcoding if you want to increase the number of rooms.
Id suggest using arrays/object oriented coding like so your code identifies what room user is currently in and uses that index to update the property of that specifically indexed room

Also some form of exp progression would make the fights feel a lot more rewarding
Interesting idea, but this is so utterly broken with bugs that its actually unplayable, even after the patch. Buttons missing, getting stuck on screens all the time, images missing, screens full of error codes, buttons dont do anything, theres no option to click on after some fights when you win them so you cant actually get past them (like the bear and some skeletons), buying items/weapons doesnt work but still takes your money, half the traps doesnt work, you can duplicate both items and characters like Alice which obviously causes even more bugs etc etc.
I also have some questions about how the management and economy is meant to work here, I assume you are supposed to get the lumber mill fairly early? How are you meant to get that ball rolling when you dont have the resources for it and theres no way to attain those except capturing people, which raises your notoriety so fast that you now need to spend what little resources you have to keep that in check? Just randomly click explore and flee from all enemies until you happen to get the resources you need seems to be the best way so far, which is not fun. Especially since every time you do that, theres pretty much a new bug.
I kinda find the UI to be very unintuitive too tbh, you have buttons stuck between 2 images instead of the before or after them, "go back" and "do thing" buttons have no consistancy and swap places frequently, causing alot of misclicks and theres a bunch of screens that make you needlessly scroll down to continue, screens you see very, very often. I would suggest cleaning that up a bit, make things actually fit a normal screen better and maybe add button hotkeys like some other html games have?
Im sorry if im being harsh on this, but this is not even a working proof of concept at this point. If this gets off its feet, I would absolutely be checking in after a couple of revisions, but as it stands right now this should probably not have been released at all. Remember, you want to draw people in, but if its this much trouble this early its likely to scare people off instead. Have something functioning and good before releasing anything, even if its not much, and work from there imo.

This is all fair criticism, I was hoping it would be seen more as a demo/proof of concept, but even then Ill admit it released it long before I should have. I plan to fix as many bugs as possible and fix the mechanics as best I can. Hopefully I wont have lost my entire audience by that point... Mistakes were made on this one
But thanks for your honest feed back!
Happy to see you took it the way it was intended, I hope we see more of this and you in the future!This is all fair criticism, I was hoping it would be seen more as a demo/proof of concept, but even then Ill admit it released it long before I should have.
