Another Chain Game? (Complete)

[Prpl_Mage]

Overall notes & bugs:
- Red Eyes C-stance should maybe be nerfed. Feels way too powerful to reflect every spell. Right now it also reflects spells that targets the whole party and nullifies all the damage. It completely removed all the challenge from the chapter 4 boss.
- If you use the Unity Charm while in the party selection map you will be stuck there forever.

Yeah I should have added a fail chance or mp cost to the counter when I had the game, realized it a bit too late and didn't want to change all my encounters. Sorry.
Didn't think about that unity charm thing.

No worries, I can take a look at it later.

You should be able to prevent the menu opening in party selection which'll fix the unity charm thing : )

I'm glad you liked my chapter! I was trying really hard not to be lazy and did a lot more spriting this time...

Very excited to play the final thing. Looks like prpl did a lot of work from the screenshots.

Oh yeah, that's way easier than what I had in mind >>

Small update: On chapter 5. And damn purple, been playing it for a couple of hours now and judging from what's in the editor I'm not even half way through. So far I'm really liking it. The slums turned out great and was really fun to explore!

[Momeka]

I played through the chain game. And god damn, prpl. I have no clue how you did so much in such a short time. Doing all the side things and chapter 5 is waay longer than all other chapters combined. Not sure how many hours I put into it.

Along the way I fixed:
- Went over some maps and made some additional tiles that I felt was missing + updated the maps with them.
- Fixed spelling mistakes where I encountered them.
- Fixed minor bugs where I encountered them.

Things that still needs to be fixed:
- "Way of the Kick" skill on Sam can't be used and I can't figure out why.
- Some pushable boxes doesn't have "Skip if cannot move" checked, so if you push them into a wall the game freezes. I've gone over and fixed the ones I found. But it would be good to double check so I haven't missed one.
- When you take the lift in spring city the player sprite changes into Sam and Joel with a backpack moves out of him.
- Sharon remains outside of the Asylum after you finished her sidequest.
- After you beaten the TV Station questline and return to Spring City the lift takes you back to the middle section of the map instead of the lower city.
- In the first cutscene with the thugs and in the cutscene at the battle at the TV Station some of the characters moves really jerky. Looks like they move with a low frequency but a high speed.

I can maybe try and go in and fix some of these, but can't really promise anything. I'm gonna do a credits scene for after the game and the after credits mini game now. Really need to try and finish it in a week. Can't really put that much more time into it, got another game to finish up at work that's being released in two months. So going to have to put some long hours into that one. It will have to take priority over the chain game.
So the goal is to get it out for the bug fixing round by the end of next week.

Thanks, I hope it feels relevant as well. Couldn't have made it in time without the help from you and the rest though.

- "Way of the Kick" skill on Sam can't be used and I can't figure out why.

I forgot to check the box "elemental defense"

- Some pushable boxes doesn't have "Skip if cannot move" checked, so if you push them into a wall the game freezes. I've gone over and fixed the ones I found. But it would be good to double check so I haven't missed one.

This was one of the last things I noticed as well. I thought I had taken care of them all but I guess I missed some.

- When you take the lift in spring city the player sprite changes into Sam and Joel with a backpack moves out of him.
- Sharon remains outside of the Asylum after you finished her sidequest.

Yeah I never really got around to fix those

- After you beaten the TV Station questline and return to Spring City the lift takes you back to the middle section of the map instead of the lower city.

Damn, I thought I added the switch in the TV station cutscene. 217 should be set to ON.

- In the first cutscene with the thugs and in the cutscene at the battle at the TV Station some of the characters moves really jerky. Looks like they move with a low frequency but a high speed.

That could be the case, I noticed this as well but never figured out where I went wrong.

I feel like the things you've mentioned are all part of my chapter so send the game back to me when you are done and I can take another look so you can focus on your own thing.

Oh yeah, without going into any spoilers, I love what you did with all the story and all the side quests. Also loved the variation of the places you visit throughout the chapter.

Yeah, those where just the notes from chapter 5. Think I managed to fix the ones I encountered in other chapters along the way. But still figured we do a round and send the game to everyone again so people can go through their chapters and fix stuff they find. Figured we start in the other they are unless someone is under time pressure than we can probably fibble with the order.

Waw you did some amazing job bug fixing!
With what you say on prpl chapter, I can't wait to play it :3

I have no problems with the changes, actually with the item hunting I thought of doing it for some of them because they were a bit hardcore to find ahah. You probably ended doing more of my chapter than  I did (damn windows), so I feel guilty, and I think for the title screen you should add your name with mine!
I have managed to reinstall rm2k3 by switching back to w7 and not w10 (and God I did good, w10 is real sh*t), so I'll bs able to do some fixing and maybe add a thing or two I had in mind but couldn't do (and redo the title screen of my Chapter, it's horrid xD).

[Momeka]

Small update: Finished the credits sequence. It's nothing super fancy but it works. "Just" the mini game left to do.

Nah, that's fine. I didn't do that much. Besides it would be really hard to make it fit.

Awesome! I'll include you in the bug fixing round. You'll be up after fish. Feel free to change anything I've done that you don't agree with.

Update: Haven't gotten as far as I had planned this week. Been distracted by work, but still going to try to make by the end of the week. Not sure I'll make it.

Anyway started working on the mini game



After that I still got some minor fixes I need to do in chapter 1.

[Fisherson]

Looks like Kill, Die Dungeon has a sequel there. Again using the scan line overlay too. Loooove it! ^_^

That looks kickass, I was going to write that we could skip the mini game if it's too much work. But now that I've seen this I want to see more of it. Really love that HUD at the bottom.

[Momeka]

Nice, glad you like it. The mini game is more or less done now. Just need to do some sort of intro for it. It ended up being 5 levels ( + an additional secret level).

[Moosetroop11]

Aaawesome : )

[Momeka]

So I'm done. Next up on the bug fixing round is Fisherson. But I figured I'll send a copy to everyone so you all got time to play through the game and check if you need to change anything. But don't actually start changing stuff cause then you will have to redo it all when your turn comes up.
