28-06-14

Truth be told I have not done anything on the game today, sorry about that.

I have, however, been writing a bit in the wikia.
I'd like to point out that I under no circumstances will add everything there. I'm probably close to done with what I'll be writing there, I've just put up some basic stuff and background stuff. What is still missing is quests and other things about the world and the cities.

I ask all of you guys to go there, if you have time, and start writing on this stuff! Create new pages if needed, add to existing pages if something is needed and make the wiki grow for the people who like playing with the wiki's in mind.

As mentioned no walkthrough's have been added yet, but I have added the cities and a section under each city called "quests" where the walkthrough's could be.

The article on Everlight is probably the best one to look at so far to get a feel of how I had thought it could be anyway.

In any case, feel free to go and add to the wiki! I'll probably add some more here and there, but in general I think I'm done for now!

Update fix and sort - 27-06-14 - And a wikia???

So, today I fixed some more stuff. Was really quite enjoyable.
Also added a new trader, but more on that later. Anyway!

Content:

  • Added description on food stuff to tell what it does
  • Added a trader to Rei-Long Oak who will buy "special stuff" from you.
    • In other words, whenever stuff is made for quests and somehow ends up in your inventory after, shell buy it from you. The lazy mans version of removing it from the game after the quest lol xD Nah, it's that some quests, back when I was starting this version of the quest were made poorly, and this is the best solution for this.
Fixes:

  • Don't know if I mentioned this before, so; I think I fixed the Rei-Long Oak whore herb quest thing that would pop up after leaving the area instead of when you were there.
  • Mayor's daughters is getting a "stupid bugfix" where I simply removed the move animation. It made no sense whatsoever that it was broken, no matter how I looked at it... It was fucking magic... Fuck that shit, never again, or I'm going to feed her to a fucking cavetroll...

I've also cleaned out the bug section. If anything was deleted without being fixed, make sure to write it there again.

Also, I added a wiki page! It is currently empty, but you guys should help build it up. I'll be adding stuff to it as I go, but I likely won't be getting around to write everything down I'm afraid. So help the community and start writing!

Anyway, that's it for today! Until next time! Take care! :D

Update log 21-06-14 - Fixing time

So, I figured it was about time I started fixing this crap... So I've been going through various bug reports. I still have various things that needs doing, and the bug section has a lot of messages. I need to figure out what to do with most. Some bugs I will need a save since I can't recreate them, I mention this next to the bug if you happen to have this bug!

Fixes

A special thanks to moonblack for an extensive bug testing and even some suggestions on how to fix it.



  • Fixed issue where you could walk through some rocks in several places in the castle throne room.
  • Fixed the western exit to the garden, as it incorrectly showed grass.
  • Fixed clipping issues in the castle baths
  • Fixed clipping issues with the outdoor training area
  • Fixed tons of clutter (books, small things on tables, wine, cups, etc) appearing to be above you when you walked to it.
  • Fixed clipping through walls on the top floor of the castle
  • Fixed a specific type of pillar not functioning properly. (The one in the church room, walking through it and on top of it)
  • Fixed Great hall clipping issues
  • Fixed table in the servants quarters appearing to be below you.
  • You can no longer take Diatar with you in to the arena.
  • Hopefully fixed Illina not appearing in the fertility shrine questline.
  • Fixed bug where you could sell more bones than you had to dead eye in the first part of the quest.
  • Fixed there only being 6 pieces of illigal art, even though 9 pieces has already been implemented to the game.
  • Fixed an issue with capturing the slimes north of Everlight.




About some other things in the game

Just making it known that the "capture 5 orcs" quest in the meaty goodness quest line is not bugged.
Do not try to re-enter the area. 5 set orcs are capturable, it is not something all orcs there can be, so instead, if you
are having problems with it, clear out the area and see if you can find an orc somewhere. It is there, likely trying
to get you and in between some trees lol.

There appear to still be some issues with one of Everlight Village's mayor's daughters. Will need to investigate.
If you happen to have a save game before this issue, do send it to me so I can maybe find a fix.

Been busy and spent a good amount of time on fixing today. As mention at the start I still have more fixing to do by going through the bug section. I'm really slow with checking it and I find really old reports that I have yet to do anything about and for that I am sorry.

In any case, that's it for today!

Status report

So, as most of you guys might have noticed, the end of my exams, to my surprise, did not mean I had a shit ton of work done on the game.

I'm sorry to say this, but for some reason I can't really drag myself out of the "FREEDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM" kind of mood I have at the moment. The end of the castle, my exams and all sorts of other crap has left me with the first free time I've had in months. I'm digging it xD So in any case, the reason why I haven't done much is because, human nature... So, in any case, I shall work on the game as much as I can, but I'm probably going to do a limited amount of work as the newfound freedom I have for the moment is making me so hapzors xD

Update log 13-06-14

So, I only managed to do a bit of bug smashing and adding some journal sections today.

Anyway, here's today's done stuff :P

Content:

  • Added journal entries for Michelle's new quest stuff
  • Added a new sprite to the game. Inanimate as it may be :P *Hint* *Hint*
Fixes
  • Fixed the dark shard mine internal entrance which was not working properly.
Notes on the upcoming stuff.
Basically I'm currently adding Michelle's new stuff to the game and I will be working on this for the time being. Then, after that, I will be fixing the last remaining bugs that have been reported. Once finished with that I have 2 new characters in mind as well as the "wive's" quest and the rich and normal quarters of the capital. Hopefully I'll get around to make it all in to the next update. I can not give an exact day as it is a somewhat large update. In no way is it as large as the castle, but it is still fairly large for a content update.
Of course I will be adding castle functions alongside with stuff, but for now they are being made as a side thing as they aren't as important as a lot of other stuff.

That's all for today. I get the feeling that I'll be able to do much more tomorrow, but we'll have to wait and see ;)

Mah exams are done! :D

So, finally handed in the last exam for the semester. And I'm really exited about that xD
So, anyway, I will start doing more stuff on the game now, yay!

I will spend some time trying to keep up with posts made since I haven't been checking the blog or forums for some time. So, anyway, glad to see you guys are sticking around! Cheers!
