You do know you're supposed to hop in the box and collect all the weapons right?
he's probably talking about after...but you must not have got that far....

Got that far? I think its literally within the first minute of the game. I also thank you for your stiff review. Bad reviews make me go back and actually better the game :-) I will be editing and uploading it soon :-)

It's just that yes, you're supposed to get the weapons, but that doesn't affect the fact that they one-shot you! I just figured Lost was being stupid....so i insulted him by saying he never got that far.

- My comments will be listed with hypens. I have uploaded a new version of the game with a few corrections.
- There is a new version on the server. It works for me, does it only go 0.6 KB for other people as well? It is on the Gamespy Server, so it shouldn't be slow at all.
- Time to have fun...

Every door does this (I thank you for the photos)

- The game was made to just have the main character, but I changed it so there was a train. That is an unavoidable side effect.

When I walk around a corner I go diagonally through the wall...

- No, it just looks like you do. I wanted the diagonal to speed things up. I did fear the wall thing, so I have corrected it so the player cannot move diagonally.

Someone complained of guards trapping him in a cell.

- I have now made it so guards do not enter the cells. I used to have fun locking the guards in the cells!

The guards won't fight me?

- I did the exact same thing you did. They would fight me when I pressed into them. Maybe press into them? Oh and the guards consistantly move...

Potions heal 50 HP? At least make it 150 HP, I went through 14 going through the well.

- You are right about how much they should heal. I've increased it to 100 HP. 14 of them in the well? Wow. You do know that if you exit the well and speak with Anna she will heal and revive your characters free of charge right?

Also it was unreasonably slow... was very annoying.

- Other people agree with you. I agree with you, but you should note only the towns slow down. I will have to fix it once I think of a good way to fix it I will implament it.

- The mice move way too fast, because there is supposed to be a challenge. Plus if they squeak three times they will alert the old man. Not once. If you press into them, that will cause them to squeak more. That's not bull... that's a mouse.

-Wat happened with the guards was i went into the kitchen at the bottom left and tried to get out...but the guards always moved towards me, and
whether i pushed into them or talked to them or they pushed into me, they wouldn't initiate a fight. I eventually got out by luring them into the
bottom left corner of their room and once they all moved up to get closer i barely made it by them before they blocked the door again

-when i go into a dungeon i go all the way not back and forth...that just makes it dumb, just because you have to go through the whole thing again.
-as for the slow thing i heard of an anti-lag script someone wrote (think it was Blizzard), i can't remember where tho...but try that.

Atracious · March 03, 2007, 06:07:41 AM

Rep -1....can't say i didn't expect that....

lost · March 03, 2007, 04:03:18 PM

Can you actually see who REPs you? I'd love to see who's REPed me.

- I finally realize what you mean with the guards, they wedge themselves up into the doorframe, so you can't walk all the way through the door.... until they move... but they don't move... I've quarantined the massive amount of guards to the front chambers of the mansion.
- About the guards being too tough where they kill you with one hit... THAT'S WHAT THEY DO! That's why you STAY AWAY! They are guards... not autograph seekers. If you think they are bad wait until Sekio! Sekio is a timed fight where you have no chance of winning, you must merely survive a specific amount of turns. You can level up and take on the guards, but when you level up too much, one guard fighting turns into two guards fighting, then three guards fighting!
- As for the dungeons... you are on level 1... its not meant to be super easy where you can breeze through the game with no challenge ever. Plus there are plenty of alternate ways you can check out. Oh and to top it off, I've beaten the well a few times without exiting. I usually beat the boss and then run from every enemy after that :-)
- There are anti-lag scripts which I will check out, however my scripts that make the game slow are unique, so I'm not sure how well they will work.

This game looks really fun so I really want to know what I am doing wrong because in the beginning it won't let me leave! It says that I 'can't leave at a time like this' when I try to go through the door to the outside. I looked for an alternate exit, but I looked everywhere I could as far as I know and I couldn't find the way out. Please help me!

That was an error on my part that I did not anticipate, actually I am judging that the error made the game unplayable. Although I remember play testing it and not finding that. Anyway, I am currently trying to upload the fix for that, but my server is being picky today :-)

maia · March 24, 2007, 05:14:49 PM

Alright, posted 1.2 that fixes the "You can't leave at a time like this" error.

modern algebra · March 24, 2007, 06:07:04 PM

I like it. It is very good.

maia · April 21, 2007, 05:19:14 PM

Various errors fixed to the soul gem quest, the opal quest and the burning mansion.

qwertyuiopboy · June 12, 2007, 09:43:12 PM

I know I shouldnt be posting this late but how do you get past the bee part I find that boy in the well then she says
to talk to the farmer north west when I do he says you are an infamous criminal please dont kill me or sumthinng lke that so I just kill the bee the big bee anyway then I talk to him again he says the same thing is he the right one
hes outside a little under where all the bees are oris he in the house because I checked and noone was there

maia · June 15, 2007, 02:31:46 AM

You need to get disguises before you can really talk to anyone. To get the disguises, first save the boy, then speak with his mother, the costume sales woman, she will send you on a quest and give you the disguises.

daisukiichi · June 17, 2007, 05:24:10 PM

could someone please tell me how to get past the locksmith quest? I'm totally lost

qwertyuiopboy · June 22, 2007, 02:14:06 AM

Yeah, that's happened to me before, but I thought I fixed that glitch. Guess not.

The side quests you do not have to do. The mage quests eventually have everything to do with magic. At first they teach you alchemy. Which is a side fun thing that is magical, even if it is not magic.

As for the fishing, you need to go to makeout point and try fishing for it. The makeout point is south east in that town next to a bench facing the water. The plant slice is not a glitch, someone gives you the plant slice skill eventually.

The boy's mother is in the shop next to the well. East of the well.

lost · September 11, 2007, 02:37:51 AM

I do think that this game is really good, but I think that it is too broad. There is a lot you can do in this game and it seems very free form and plotless. Even though it's like GTA where you get missions and as you progress the storyline unfolds, but with the main storyline it is far too easy to get distracted for a money game.

Falcon · September 11, 2007, 10:33:00 AM

I really don't get what you all see in this game. It's bland and uninteresting. If you think this game should get marketed, you should see Nadir's Cannon, Domain Virtual Takeover, Master of the Wind, and Outlaw City.

maia · September 11, 2007, 02:43:37 PM

I am just happy that someone knocked off the dust. I am not sure how bland it is. It does use mostly RTP, but there are a lot of things to do in the game. I agree with lost though that it is too broad, which is why now when I make games I give people a straight line story with little deviation. Simply because people do not play much more than an hour or two into RPG XP games.
