  • Holding down the attack button attacks as fast as possible.

  • Later chapters always drop higher rarity skulls.
  • Awakened versions of skulls can drop.

  • Always spawn a Skull-Reward and a Item-Reward gate, if possible.

Compability

Installation

$(SkulDirectory) would be the folder where the Skul.exe is. For Windows it usually is: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Skul or something like that.

How to build the mod yourself

Before you continue here, do everything in the Installation section first.

With git and dotnet installed these commands should build the mod:

git clone https://github.com/Tobi-Mob/Skul.Mod.git
cd Skul.Mod
dotnet build

If no errors are thrown, the new build mod was installed into the SkulDirectory.

Future Ideas

• Start in a later chapter
  • Skip lower Chapters and jump right into higher action.
  • Give some start equipment matching the new start chapter.
• Configurable random seed
  • It should be possible to give a fixed seed to the used System.Random to replay a given seed.
• Configurable starting gear
• Configurable drops for a run
• Boss rush
  • Is could be enough to postfix StageInfo.GeneratePath and just remove all non boss segments.
