New demo, and the winner of the title screen vote!


The winner!

Congratulations to Alice for winning the title screen contest! In second place was Alice, and finding last place in the votes was Alice. (Yes, she made all three.) The final tally across all sites polled including the blog was:

Sword: 16
Mimic: 31
Dragon/Knight: 52
Total Votes: 99

Almost 100 votes! But almost only counts in OVERUSED ANALOGIES.

So, along with the closing of the poll is the arrival of the new demo and a list of thanks:

Alice Kada - Various graphics, the title screen, testing, moral support.
Alex Dickerson - card graphics, testing.
Yanfly - Various scripts.
Aindra - A few graphics (faceset and dice, most notably).

Also, I would like to thank the folks at the rpgmakervx.net forums for their input and scripting help whenever I'm stuck with a particular bit of code.

There are a few graphics used from different resource compilations posted on sites and forums all over the place. If I forgot to mention you, let me know.

So what are you waiting for? Get over to the download page and give it a run! For those of you playing with a keyboard, use the main download. For those using a gamepad, the "gamepad" download has optimized controls with those in mind.

If you found the game to bring even the slightest smile, or add a small glimmer to a dull day, show some love by clicking an ad! It'll only take a moment, I promise, and it will help generate the small amount of revenue needed to convince beta testers to do their thing, bringing about a higher quality game!

i played it in one sitting and loved it... didn't find the slot machine tho and the bomb dropping puzzle doesn't reset if u leave

can't wait for the full game man good job

I finished the demo and thought it was great. Just one thing you cant save on the map after you kill the cave turtle so you might want to fix that. But it resets if you go to town no np there really just a minor glitch.

Good work though i think with more custom graphics it would be like a commercial game since it plays good enough and has hardly any bugs. I copied goldensun and clicked an banner for you for supportting the game.

btw i will NEVER want a goatse statue lmao

I completed the demo and noticed the FFT reference.

At the bandit hideout/watch tower, if the player returns to the top floor after getting thrown down the hole, it is impossible to leave the room because the stairs still display the bandit leader's message.

Anon - Thanks for the bug report! I'll get this fixed and get a new build up.

Glad you caught the FFT reference, haha. I'm sure those people playing who don't notice it as a FFT reference are going, "What the hell is wrong with this guy's grammar?"

i noticed the bug in the bandit tower too

i beat the demo and the only thing i dont like is the thief doesnt do enuf damage.... i like his other skills tho finding extra gold helps so hes worth having

I noticed a chest referencing FFT, but I don't remember any grammatical errors. Did I not read correctly or were there other FFT references?

Steve said...

Well, I suppose it wasn't really grammatical errors as much as it was just horrible English. But that's the way it was in the original FFT. The chest was the only reference.

This is the way!

Just noticed the other anon comment about the thief.

The thief isn't as much of a high damage class as others because of the unique things he can do and items he can acquire for your party. What he lacks in top end damage, he more than makes up for in other useful ways.

ya the thief is good... if he was stronger he would be overpowered.

does he ever get special attacks tho or just stuff that enhances your party?
