Every Vote Counts

Hi everyone, here's another update for Every Vote Counts

A special thanks to Prajna and TheRpgmakerAddict for the bugs and other issues which needed fixing in the game! :)

The list of fixes/changes are

• The quest for delivering Cindy's flyers for her hair salon business can now be properly completed.

• After several attempts trying to get Penny's Training Day skill to work, I decided to change it to Self-Promotion. This skill triples Penny's attack power but only for a few turns.

• Saldaburg can no longer be accessed prematurely. The events at the hydro electric dam have to be completed first.

• Drakenford can no longer be exited by the south road until all the events in the town have been completed. Access is also restricted from the water treatment plant / rubbish dump side.

Thanks Prajna for pointing these out!

• A detailed map, along with directions, are brought up each time the journal is activated.

• The puzzles in the data centre are now easier to work out, with shiny sparkles over the "objects" in the rooms, and an explanation and answer given for the first puzzle in the dungeon.

Thanks TheRpgmakerAddict for pointing these out! (and thanks for the review) :)

Other changes made

• Small dialogue changes - usually relating to grammar and typos.

• Mirikov's "Mana Drain" spell now absorbs MP - Doesn't deal damage to HP.

• There is now a second attendant in the game room under The Silly Old Duffer. She will exchange your Battle Points for Amonei if you want. 1 BP - 10 Amonei.

And just one final note - Have you picked up on the references I inserted into the game? Here's a list of them.

• The Simpsons: The Acids and Bases line from "Bart the Genius" where he causes an explosion from the experiment. Who knows how that happened.

• The Simpsons: Professor Frink's flying motorcycle.

• The Simpsons: Chief Wiggum's comment at the Great Chili Cook-off "That Simpson, he thinks he's the pope of Chili Town". Hence the papal robe you have a chance of getting from the red chili in Bergaln.

• The Little Mermaid - Lily's comment about her mermaid friend having daddy issues, just like Ariel and Triton.

• The song by The Beatles "Lovely Rita Meter Maid" - Rita's employment was being a Meter Maid.

Well, I think that's everything

Cheers, MoonWolfV

A thank you to Gorha for taking the time to list the bugs encountered in the game.
The following bugs have now been fixed.

• Empowerment now restores MP to an ally (It was a formula error)

• Antibiotics always works, and cures all status ailments. Natural Cure cures all status ailments and removes de-buffs.

• Poisoned Chalice targets enemies.

• Flower Squirt costs TP not MP. Hamish never had MP in the first place.

• A Fire Ring is added to your equipment after the battle with the Chilis

• The missing parallax files have now been fixed.

• The problem with the forest tiles in the volcanic area, and the ones in Drakenford have been fixed.

• The skills Argument, Protest, and Riot work properly (Formula error again)

• There are now enemies who are weak to ice. Plant enemies and ground type enemies are now affected.

Thanks again to Gorha for pointing these bugs out to me.

Cheers

Hi Everyone

Just to let you know that the remade version of Every Vote Counts is complete, and the download has been put up.

Cheers

I guess this could also be titled as "Some developers are never satisfied". I'm starting to remake Every Vote Counts from scratch.

By doing this I'm hoping that the file size will be smaller, as when I shifted it from MV to MZ it had a fit and wouldn't allow the unused files to be removed (along with a whole bunch of other problems).

The dungeons are also being remade in a more simpler,less annoying fashion. I've come to the realisation that most people probably don't like mazes (myself included).

Anyway, thought I'd just give an update on what's going on.

PS - The new screenshots that I'm putting up aren't in the current download.

Hi everyone

Just wanted to say that the MZ upgrade of Every Vote Counts is now 100% complete. I'll be making a final playthrough of the game to make sure it works fine, and then I'll put up the new download, this should be in two or three days. I'll put up a post highlighting the differences/changes.

Cheers
