Update log 25-10-14 + Release AloneXP Ver. 7.3 (Bug runs, not bug free!)

I managed to make enough content for me to deem it ready for release. It's been a while since the last release, so thanks for your patience! :D

Anyway, first of all, let's get today's update log out of the way.

Content

  • Added 2 Voyeur scenes to Carrie's mansion
    • They are random, and won't always be there when entering.
  • Added new girl to carries Mansion, currently only meet able at the bridge outside the mansion.
  • Added new small area. Currently not much happens there, more will be added later.
  • Added new encounter with Jane and Sifael.
  • Added the museum workers that will hang paintings in the museum. (Not sure if they were mentioned earlier so saying it now)
  • Do all sex scenes function properly? (No dreaded black screen after scene? :P)
That's the log out of the way.

Now, for the new release.

I'd like to point out that there are a few things still fucked.
I have yet to find a fix for suddenly being unable to summon, the income system has not been tweaked. Sorry, I think the next few releases will be more fix and tweak based than content based.

Now, for things I'd like to know from you guys, as some changes have been made, so please focus on:

  • Are there any in between map issues? When going from one map to another, or getting teleported, do they fuck up?
  • Is the summoning system more ballanced? Too OP? Too weak?
  • Does the new picture system work for the castle? (Casino questline, 3 pictures currently available all currently found with Jane and Sifael)
  • Quest issues with Oni Oni onsen? (Can be found east of Fuar)

Any other bugs are obviously also taken seriously, but these are the things I suspect may have a few issues.

Please, if you have the time and want to help, play the game and tell me of the issues you meet! :D

EDIT:
Sorry about not answering since last sunday. I will be looking at all reports Saturday, but unfortunately that will be the only day in this week where I have time to do anything! Please keep posting bugs, as I will try to make a bug round next Saturday on newly introduced, as well as old bugs from the bug report section of the blog!


Edit 2 - 01-11-14: Won't be doing anything. I feel like shit today, and I'll take the day to get back on top. Sorry, bug squashing will have to wait till tomorrow or sometime next week.

  1. I found some problems with the new content. After the scene with the new girl at carrie's mansion there is a black screen.
    The quest at the onsen is totally buggy. After giving the bottles to the ogre you end up on a screen with a tent and can't move; teleporting will help.
    When you revisit the onsen there is a second ogre. When leaving and trying to reenter you get to a forest map and can't move.

    Will we see more of the daughter?

    1. Fixed the scene with the black screen, and fixed a good amount of instances of fuck ups with Oni Oni onsen, but I'm not sure I fixed the exact one with the bottles. Can you tell me where the oni is in the map when you encounter this bug?

      About the daughter, I think so, but it is Mugginns questline, so I can't promise anything. I allowed him to do this so I won't decide how this one ends :P

    2. About Red(the daughter), I do hope to do more with her but it's entirely dependent on there being a suitable region for the next encounter. I have plans for her but at the moment we don't have any map that work with her story.
      And about the Onsen being buggy as hell, turns out Crouler didn't add all the content I made(which is understandable since he's pressed for time) and its causing trouble. Can you post a pic of where the two ogres are please?

      Delete
    3. have to look if I can reproduce the bug, but one ogre was before the desk and the other was standing at the position where you first talk with him.

  2. i look forward to playing it

    but why would the income be required to be tweaked at some point mabey doing it so thatthe player can donate all the mony it gains to the queen for war efforts against the zeteans

    or that he himself is required to pay salarys for other soldiers he gains with the exception of those soldiers left by the queen it should gause quit the dent in income nor would the player in no time at all be able to gains millions

    simply a suggestion

    kind regards

    1. Some players have gotten several millions in just a few hours so I really need to nerf the income xDNo matter what buildings and other outcomes are, even if some things were more expensive, all items in the game would be cheap as hell if the current income wasn't nerfed.

      Delete
    2. the only reason is that the dev\ine gets every thing for free if youwhere to alter that a bit it would no longer be possible to gain millions in no time at all

      i am able to attain 3 millions with in on houer if the divine where only to be pay for his troops the amount of income would me far less in my opinion a divine should be able to hire his own troops within the barracks itself

      also i dont count the standart crew recruiting option along

      but if the divine is able to recruit his own soldiers and simply pay for them aswel as when they are sent on patrol to witch costs are bound the income would be lower to

    1. Is this still a problem? Sometimes it can be caused by a slow computer, in wich case closing other programs in the background helps. Other times RPGMaker is being a real bitch <.< If it's still a problem, tell me :)

      Delete
  5. Love the game so far! Was just able to test 7.3 out, and whenever i go to the Ceeves Ocean Castle and try to enter any door (Castle, Barracks, etc...) it just hangs there. Weird thing is NPCs all around are still moving, it's just you that's stuck there like you're standing in front of the open door.

    1. Do the doors open for you?

      Delete
    2. Yes they open, but once they open i can no longer move.

  6. summons are far too weak ... first fight and it does 0 dmg all the time

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Which summon level against which level monsters? The level 1 summons won't be able to do anything against larger enemies, so that should be ok, but if it was against low ranked enemies, or if it was high ranked summons it is a problem.

      Delete
    2. in first battle first summon

      Delete
    3. Yeah, the basilisk do 0 dmg on orc warriors.

  7. i wanted to talk with the officer in first village that trains in combat .... after the soldier left the area ..... i got stuck ... can't do anything

    1. I got the same problem in the first village in the barracks on second floor + the same thing when first time visiting casino - bouncer takes you to casino boss and I get stuck there all the time

      Delete
    2. Is it the entire game that crashes? A black screen? Or are people around you moving?

      Delete
    3. nothing move's and i can't move ... full game blockade

      Delete
    4. lots of updates with no bug testing realy fucks the game

      Delete
    5. no black screen, just cant move or open a menu
      like Fantazjo said full game blockade in both cases - barracks and casino first visit

      Delete
    6. It happens when the NPC leaves the screen, like they're stuck and the event cant continue so you cant do anything.

      Delete
    7. the crashes seem to be caused by an events "wait for move's completion" commandline and/or a "set move route" command affecting an event being off screen
      how to fix it... well, deleting the wait-command allows the event to continue but prevents affected event's movement most of the times
      i hope this helps resolving this problem
      and nice game by the way

    8. Same bug:
      After you talk with the High Priest and walk down the stairs this one woman walks to you tells you something and leaves. There the game simply stops accepting commands and you have to restart.

      Delete
    9. Same here, you can't go on with the main quest because of this bug..

  8. I can't enter the castle, the door opens for me but i get stuck there, and can you make a resume of all taht was added, more especific the places, cuz i don't quite remember where the brothel and carries mansion and some othe stuff is.

    Replies
    1. Same here. Would like to know where the mansion is. Been running around looking for it.

      Delete
    2. Carrie's mansion can be found by the southern pier in Rei Long Oak, it's the small boat at the bottom that usually would take you to the shore. Once you can visit her mansion, the option to go there will appear.

  9. oni oni onsen quest:
    - after coming back with the 3 bottles (and the little dad/daughter scene) it gets stuck on a black screen.
    - dunno if it's a bug or something intended, the "fight" (with both dad and daughter) get a istant win w/o actual battle.
    carrie's mansion.
    - black screen after the sex scene as soon as you get to the island.
    capital:
    - trying to enter anything in the castle breaks the game, you get stuck there.
    (also can't find any other prostitute for the brothel, N>hint plx :<)

    1. I can fix all the problems in the onsen if I get my hands on the game, but it also turns out there are problems all over the place. Events that Crouler hasn't touched is acting for some reason. We hope to get everything straightened out soon, and thanks for bringing these bugs to our attention. We can't squish them if no one reports them.

  10. In the castle baths, when you go for a swim and talk to Cial, you can't leave the bath afterward.

  11. Any chance of adding more save slots? Though I'm not sure which RPG Maker engine each one was using, I've seen quite a few games with 16 save slots (and some even went over 50, though I think that's a little excessive). I think it would help with finding bugs that aren't immediately noticeable (like the black screens after sex scenes), or at least help get people more willing to test for them (they'd be able to have more backups and be able to have less space between them).

    ReplyDelete
  12. Not sure if it is a bug but during the first encounter with Jane the orc slayer you get all 3 pictures but there is only one in the inventory. Should we get all pictures or just one?

  14. has anyone managed to come across any of the voyeur scenes yet?

  15. Summoning:
    high level summon:
    - 0 dmg on bandits.
    epid level summoning:
    -skill dmg is way too low compared to normal atk dmg (500 vs 5/7k)
    after 2 summoning it says that i'm out of mana, even if i'm full, it just lower the sp value but its not summoning anything

    ReplyDelete
  16. An issue I discovered with the Voyeur scenes. If you come in from the outside (where the pool is) and watch the scene, you get stuck where you can't move and need to teleport to regain movement. It looks like it's an issue with after the scene plays your character tries walking to the left and since the npc is blocking him, he won't move any further in any direction.

    1. Also with the Demarcus painting you get from Jane and Sifael, if you view it and select leave after reading the notes, the picture stays up on the screen, with the only way to get out of the picture being to open it again and select "stop looking at the painting".

    2. It's impossible to view the voyeur scenes!!

  17. game freezes when you talk to cam in everlight barracks from the south.

  18. In the Michelle quest line when you go to the capital and automatically get taken to the slums by the soldier your sprite freezes in place after it says, "???: Run, they are all over the place!".

    ReplyDelete
  19. Casino quest:
    - taking the 2 paitings get you stuck on a black screen.

    also, if i may say it, you should put an hint on where those 2 will go.
    searching every map for them is kind of annoying, especially if you miss a spot/map and have to complete the circle of maps (everl->rey->fuar) 3 times.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Minor bug, fighting on the branch path to the mine near Fuar gives a black background during the fight. The enemies are visible and it works fine, the background is just black until after the fight.

  21. This game is really good!

    Big Bug:
    When an NPC leaves the screen after a conversation with the Divine or other NPC the game gets stuck, it happens the first time you enter the CasinĂ² and also when you talk to the Priest in the Capital's Church.
    Another Bug in the capital: when you go into the Castle, and try to enter the first building on the right the Divine gets stuck while others NPC keep moving.

    Sorry for my not so good English, have a nice day :)
