update log 29-05-14

So, I had a a bit of free time today and did some stuff to the game.
I'm still in the middle of the exam period, so It's not going to be a lot of work for some time, as you have already seen, but every now and then, much like today I will be able to spend a bit of time on the game.

Anyway, here's what I did:


  • Re-did michelle's last conversation add a "minimum guest room level" requirement.
  • Added a new part to Michelle's questline.
An important note.
I will be implementing a system which will see if anyone is present in the guestroom. 
Only 1 person can be there at the time, so make sure you don't, once the others are made, press several at the time. 

Say you activate Michelle to go to the castle, do not activate the others. Right now nothing would happen, but in the future when the others are added it'll fuck stuff up. I will of course fix this as I go over each of these questlines, but so far there is not much I can do.

Not many problems should appear now, though if you start activating all of them when they have been made you will cause tons of people to appear in the guest room at the same time. Which will seem weird and may break certain actions.

In any case, so far nothing will happen, so don't panic lol.
Once I've made some more content I will release a new chunk of Michelle content. 
Though i can already promise it'll be slow going lol.

  1. i basically already invited every one that had to be invited like, Lej Vhakh, Michelle, if there are others i don't remember right now, as Lej Vhakh is a probable servant of the divine i don't really know if she is a guest or a permanent character

    1. No worries, as mentioned there's nothing wrong as of yet, as the others simply haven't been made yet, it's only if you plan on waiting till the end after all of them have been made it would fuck up your save. If you complete the quests as the releases are released you should have no issues, and there should be no reason to start over.

  4. You could also trying adding more guest rooms to solve the problem too, since it would make sense for a castle to have more than one guest room. Just a thought.

    1. There are many guest rooms and even living rooms, but only 1 luxury guest room for those truly close to the divine for people like Michelle, who becomes friends with the divine etc.

  5. Is it possible to finish the whole science quest?I'm in the cave but the passage doesn't work. I have "Hot Stuff" and when I entered the first part of the cave, you use it automaticly. I killed the other enemies without using the "Hot Stuff". Does that break something? Am I missing something?

    Cheers

    1. I'm not too sure. They Sciencey questline is the only quest I have not made myself, as it is Mugginns who made it. I'll have him look at your question when I see him.

      Delete
    2. I had the exact same problem months ago. Here's how I made it work:
      - Enter the cave and the monsters die automatically at the first part
      -AVOID all enemy encounters and walk straight through, you should be able to advance now (that one cave 'door'/hole should let you through now)

      Delete
    3. Which passage?
      Saving all you Tokens for the Boss battle is fine,shouldn't break anything,(though I may need to ask Crouler to rewrite them for me anyway)
      In case you didn't know how to use Hot Stuff,during a battle you use it like an item.The more Warpcrystal you collect in the previous part of the quest,the more Tokens you have to use.

      Delete
    4. The usual level passages work. But the hole in the wall, where you touch the big crystal for the first time and later are attacked by the woman doesn't work. Even with the tip from Anonymous it doesn´t work. I have 7 Tokens left after the first automatic use. But I just hit the hole but can´t pass.

      I can upload a save game if it helps.

      Cheers

    5. Here is a screenshot:

    6. Did you try pressing Action Button while standing there?

      Delete
    7. I've had a look at that doorway,and it should be working fine.When he has time,I'll ask Crouler to add a fix to it.
      For now,all you can do is skirt around that quest until the next hotfix is out.Sorry for the inconvenience

      Delete
    8. Right,just spoke to Crouler,he's added a fix to the door but it won't be out until he's got more time.He agrees with moonblack that pressing the Action Button could work right now though(one of the doorways pages doesn't have a condition switch,which could be the problem),just stand in the doorway or in front of it and press Action
      Again,sorry for the inconvenience

      Delete
    9. No worries. When a new version gets released I usually start from the beginning. And I tried using the action button but it doesn´t change anything. I will just wait for the next release. I will have more Content to look forward to.

      I really appreciate looking into my problem.

      Cheers

    10. You need to stand one tile away from the actual door and press, not in the actual door and press. :) In any case, if you can wait for a while it will be fixed in the next release.

    1. I'm not sure if the fix was implemented yet. I think it was.

  8. I really feel, as I did when I originally played this game when it was posted on ULMF, that the game could use additional movement speed. I feel even more strongly about it now, since the game is turning out to be pretty large(partially because of the map size), and is only going to get larger. I think I've played it nine or ten times now over all the updates so far, and the slow movement speed through maps I've seen a million times is seriously grinding on my nerves.

    Here is a copy of my save where we cannot complete the sciency stuff quest(The action button does not work).

    Additionally, there seems to be a bug with certain story battles(Cimex, sciency stuff, etc.) where summoned monsters will stick around after the fights, or the game will remove them, but you'll be unable to summon because you supposedly already have one.

    P.S. The amount of money we get from the farm probably needs to be toned down some more - I seriously have over a million gold at 11 hours and nothing to spend it on. :)

    1. Oh yeah, and at some point I plan to continue writing the guide/walkthrough I started months ago on ULMF - I've finally got a job and free time to burn instead of looking for work 24/7 or training.

    2. People do mention the running fast thing, and I can only say that:
      A) It is a vicious circle. The game is big, so people would like to be faster but as soon as they got faster they would become speed blind and want to go even faster yet again.
      B) I'm still thinking about if it is worth it.
      C) It is in no way a priority right now :P

      Also, the walkthrough thing sounds sweet ;) Cheers!

  9. Have you ever thought about having it in RPG maker ACE VX ACE of aloneXP?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. The game started in the normal VX engine, and then I changed to the XP engine. While the Ace engine is pretty decent it does in no way justify starting over again. I can not simply move the game, I would have to start from scratch with everything, and truth be told I found both XP and Ace equal, so no. I don't want to migrate to Ace with Alone xD hehe, maybe a new game some time :) (Hint, I am sometimes working on a new game in Ace)

  10. just a question does the character has a lvl to get skill, like lvl 10 he gets one and lvl 15 another one? could you make a list of the lvl and the skill you get on that lvl.

    like:

    lvl 10 - darkness
    lvl 20 - ???
