LET'S TRY WITH LOCKEZ
Posts
LockeZ
I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

Close...wait, but you have to go in that room to get the soda. How could it be locked until you get to the 3rd dungeon?
Blugh never mind I don't want to know, and I'm pretty sure you know what you're talking about and I'm just thinking of a different room than you.
I'll do more videos soon and find out how the game goes down.

Since you did some cutting in the LT, I can only assume how some things went down. Let's do a comparison shall we?
What I believe transpired:
You're still exploring the place as dungeon #1. You found the soda room door opened. This somehow broke the order of things as you probably see Regina in the place and already now get access to the computer room. Did you even fight 1st boss in the room before the big computer?
What should transpire:
You shall reach the top floor with the save outside the elevator. You shouldn't even be touching the soda room yet. Boss battle goes down and you leave the place for dungeon 2 and 3 since the door is locked.
You'll later return to the HQ after the 3rd dungeon. This is when the soda room is unlocked. It serves its purpose then before you actually enter the big computer room.
EDIT: I've actually checked with the latest version right now. On the first visit the door is locked. I'm hereby clueless as to what caused it as I could not replicate the results.

Let's avoid a double post and hope this update is noticed. How's the LTs going?

An update, at last! I've just uploaded two new videos of Monosodium Glutamate: Lunacy of Legion. Er, I mean, Metal Gear Solid: Lunacy of Legion.
Video 2 (which was the last one I uploaded before today) involved some heavy accidental sequence breaking, so I had to start over. Video 3, the first of today's two videos, starts at the point just before the sequence breaking occured, which is about halfway through the first dungeon.
I got lost for about 15-20 minutes after the first dungeon, and cut out almost all of my wandering around on the overworld. Since there was some confusion in my older videos about the points where I cut out footage, I added an obvious circular transition effect whenever I cut out part of the video. Hopefully this makes it clearer.

All right! I'm glad you've picked it up again. I hope poor directions as indicated in the LT won't discourage you...
The Alert-mechanics are not quite clearly explained in-game. I cover them better on the game's page under GamePlay.
You can cancel alert in 2-3 ways. Either let the Evasion cancel it out or exit the area without any soldiers around. The third way is to make a safe-area transition that usually happens at specific places.
About the slow-down or whatever happens your speed. Use the 9-button to correct any speed/phasing-glitches. I've introduced it in one of my blog posts, but it seems it needs to get explained in-game.
About the guard in the cottage. Touching sleeping soldier will wake them up.
And the forest is said to be located north-west of your location, not necessarily the direction you should go. This can be a bit misleading.
The shooting mini-game I guess the target score should be more clear. Chaos Mode with handgun was 70 or 75. I've changed it numerous times for adjusting, so I don't quite remember what it was. But you do get a reward there. Funny with the speed-up there though!
The forest is illusive! You have to look around carefully for where to find a way. And it's not a one-way. You just missed one safe bush blocking the path.
But I'm astounded by your ability to trigger glitches. Haven't heard of anyone finding these many.
However, it seems most speed/phasing-glitches occur due to swinging the knife at bad timing may disrupt the events' process(like getting into the swamp there). If you want to avoid this (apparently common) glitch, try to keep to knife down. I've tried to counter this on many places, but it seems even more common than ever.

I guess if the other people who are doing LTs are gone or stopping, I should start mine up again. Send me a mail if you want your game done.
I cannot promise I will actually do all of the games I get asked to do, especially if they're fan games of something I'm not a fan of. But this time I'll try to at least let people accurately know which games I'm doing and which I'm not.
For example, I'm not LTing Leo & Leah, and I'm not LTing anything with Pokemon in it. I might still do Legacy of the Guilds.

Can you try One Night: Full Circle ( http://rpgmaker.net/games/1577/ )? I've had this game out for a while but I've received nearly no meaningful feedback about it at all.
You should note that it's a horror themed game and while it is the final game in a trilogy, you should be able to enjoy the story anyway.

Just as well, really. Maybe someday I can ask again when there aren't any in it.

Two videos of me trying a new game, Legacy of the Guilds, have been added to the original post.
As you'll see, I was having some problems at the end of the second video. After I recorded it, it occured to me that the game probably ends like it does because I asked the developer to send me a newer version of the game than the one that's on RMN right now. It's still in progress, and maybe the version I have just goes up to the point where he has finished making it so far? If so, that's fine! If it does keep going further, though, I have no idea what to do next, since I wasn't told where to go, and all the paths seem to be blocked by outdated cut scenes where the hero tells me no-longer-valid reasons not to go those directions.

Hey LockeZ!
I just logged in, how is that for coincidence?
Thanks for trying LotG already!
I will watch the videos now and try to figure out what kind of trouble you had.
Hope it wasn't such a terrible gaming experience.
It is possible you already played all the content up to the part I finished, but I thought I included a explicit warning of the end of the demo... I shall see.
I´ll edit this post in a while. :)
EDIT: Oh my god! You just found two bugs in the first ten minutes and the second one was major and screwed everything up. :(
So, where to begin.
You are at about half the completed game so far. There is one more wilderness and several more side quests available to you.
1# Time does pass in the game, but it is not an day/night cycle. Days or nights come at certain locations to give the illusion of time moving forward. In the first video at 16:28 you discovered a portion of the forest that I thought was unpassable. You were supposed to cross across the lower section of that "mini-lake", which activates a trigger that makes night come. That was the reason that so many things did not update accordingly and the game thought it was night and populated the forest with bats. This was also the reason for your hero not letting you continue north, even though you already had delivered the letter.
Quite a nasty bug, I admit. Shame on me. But I have fixed it now.
2# Actually, there is around 30 (if not more) gold in the first town alone. The rightmost house has a book (which you found) and a chest containing gold. Plus, the inkeeper gives you a rat-cleaning quest that pays even more. Also, if you show the herbalist a rat tail she will gift you several antidotes. I will have to pay extra care to this balancement issue. (This includes the difficulty of the battles)
3# The escaping thingie is actually the default RMXP system. I haven't touched a bit there. I shall find a way yo make it easier to escape and indicate when escaping has failed. Also, after you escape the enemies stay still for 2 seconds and you're supposed to move away. :S
All in all, thanks a lot for doing this. I hope it was not as insufferable for you as it seemed in some parts.
It really opened my eyes regarding some mistakes that I wouldn't have discovered without these videos.
I would really appreciate if you continued doing this let's try. Perhaps send me your save file and I will correct the bugs and leave it fresh for you to continue from where you finished? Or I can send you a fixed version with a save file from roughly the part where you finished.
I look forward to your answer, thanks a lot!

The problem with the enemies staying still for 2 seconds is that 2 seconds is really, really short. Especially when you have a 1.5 second fade in after the battle ends, and they don't wait for it to end before they start counting. I would probably like to see enemies disappear entirely when you run away, but if you have a reason for keeping them around, then maybe change it to 10 seconds.
I didn't hate the game and would not mind at all finishing it for you. I realize I usually sound like I hate everything! I'm just like that - I find faults and point them out, even if they don't bother me, because it helps other people learn. As a result I sound constantly annoyed, even when I'm having a lot of fun. Expect me to mail my save file to you this evening when I get home from work.

I would really appreciate it if you could try out Dungeon Hero. It is, of course, a dungeon crawler. The demo is about 2 hours long.
Thank you! LockeZ! This is the most help I've ever had with my game.
I have decided to:
- I will increase the "standing still" time.
- Use arrows to point out the places where you can exit maps
- Increase the starting gold and starting healing items
I have also fixed countless bugs from watching your videos :)

So, despite not being asked to, I randomly decided to do a Let's Try of The Lost Girls. See the first post of this thread for links. Basically I just wanted to play it, and figured I might as well rant nonstop while I was doing so and record the results as a video.
Having roommates who are always asleep whenever I'm home limits my ability to record Let's Try videos these days, so I will not be doing any more in the near future. Sorry. But I did this one.

Hey man could you try out this game:
http://rpgmaker.net/games/3541/
I've worked on it for over a decade and haven't really received a formally critical review yet. I would love to see what you think, good or bad.
