Testers hired!
I have hired 3 testers on Fiverr for a thoroughly check. They may post a Steam review, and I want to make it as impartial as possible, for this:
- they will play the game for at least 20 hours;
- they have the possibility to (1) not post a review, (2) post a negative one, (3) or a positive one;
- if writing a review they will clearly indicate that they are hired testers for this game;
- All I want is their honest opinion and they can (and should) post their review without consulting me (as long as it is constructive of course!)
Thank you for your support,
David N.
ps: since I will be busier for a while I will slow down the updates.
v1.12 released!
here is another regular update, the changes:
all long range weapon motion reworked (smoother and faster),
Abel vocation Holy Knight changed to Knight Prince (same vocation except changed charchip and motion),
Arthur vocation Bow Knight changed to High Ranger (same vocation except changed charchip and motion),
add Dark Knight (magical and physical) vocation and a special character with this vocation in bonus maps,
add Death Spear + weapon, Berserker armor+ and dark shield+ items.
Notes: This version has been only slightly playtested. I know this is important but I am tired of
playtesting the whole game, so I will hire some testers to recheck everything. An estimate for
the second step of the arranged script is 3 months.
Thank you for your support,
David Nguyen.
v1.11 released!
here is another regular update, the changes:
updated SRPGStudio to latest version 1.244,
updated the original script edited by Jessie Paluta (also known as May Ravenstaff),
add a tuto for hidden options (how to edit the game.ini file).
Notes: This version has been only slightly playtested.
Thank you for your support,
David Nguyen.
v1.10 released!
here is another minor update, the changes:
corrected the rescue mechanics (it was reseted in the last update, the exchange and replace commands available again),
add a command map thumbnail to the prep screen,
add option to sort unit by LP, LV and vocation in the arrange menu,
can see shop content by selecting them on the prep screen (kind of pointless but still),
display weapon range after moving,
display LP remaining when damaged by poison,
changed summon effect animation.
Notes: I wanted to add max item use next to the item but it is useless since there is no repair shop/wand
and most item have 1 or 2 uses. Also wanted to add smooth cursor sliding, since it slows the pace I didn't
implement it. Another feature I wanted to implement is swaping weapon with a button when on the battle forecast,
didn't add it since there is a conflict with another more important plugin (skill forecast).
This version has been only slightly playtested.
May Ravenstaff has nearly edited the original game script (first step for a completely arranged/rewritten script but the
final script will take a while, please be patient).
Thank you for your support,
David Nguyen.
