"Well now, how did these little morsels make it so far
under their own power? I think I'll keep my eye on them."




Ill Will is a dungeon crawler with carefully crafted, minimalist story elements and simplified overall design. The combat uses a turn-based structure with a heavy emphasis on elemental affinities, and a streamlined AI routine for enemies that helps curb outright stupid behavoir.

It is very firmly divided between gameplay and plot, with decently-sized sessions of both, rather than a more rapid alternation.

Update ( 7/31/2012) - Completion

I'm marking this as being the 31st instead of the 1st, since I've been uploading since "yesterday".

Ill Will is complete. You can finish the story, choose either a normal New Game Plus (basically starting over) or a Strong New Game Plus (keep Traces, learned skills, and level, and re-allocate stats). Either way, you'll have access to additional story scenes, additions to existing scenes, and a very special something.

I might have a prize for the first person to beat the optional NG+ content. Of course, I might not.

I've seen this project around. I believe I have more incentive to play it now that it's featured. :P

It looks very nice.
After playing so far in this game at the moment, I just have to say WOW, I have never been so immersed into a RPG maker story in a very long time, you sir gain kudos for that, I highly recommend this game despite it's minor flaws so far.
So, any progress on that releasing that bugfix?
i do that but he has 5 turns in a row so he just poison and hit then the game crushes , any idea when will the author upload a new patch ?

what is solution for the bug which occurs in the final boss when it hits u while u r poisoned cuz when he do that the game just crushes someone help !

There is no solution yet until author uploads a new patch. Just quickly remove poison before boss uses predator.

One of your keys is stuck.
well it only happens in rpg maker games so i don't know how that works, but i guess if it's not the game itself there's probably some resource for bizarre rm-only key sticking

thx

i can't even start playing the game because when i get to the difficulty select screen it just starts cycling through them steadily and none of the buttons do anything. i thought it might be a conflict with my old shitty usb controller so i tried without it but it still happened. cursory glance of the comments suggests i'm the only one having this problem, too

don't suppose you have any idea how to fix this? :/

There's a patch for that further up the comments. I believe the main download is a further updated version, but lo and behold, I time out trying to download my own game!

I have all of the mentioned bugs corrected, but I need to get time on a different machine and connection to upload this hunk of junk. Such is bachelorhood.

Okay, so whenever those Strength Zone zombies use Strength Zone, they'll get +Strength Zone, immediately followed by -Strength Zone in the same turn. I guess that's not suppose to happen, especially since they'll just keep re-casting it every turn as long as they have SP.


What has been happening to me (screwed-up bugfix for this?) is that they both Strength Zone and attack in the same turn. This makes any battle I blunder into past the intro... perhaps not quite impossible, but this didn't seem like intended behavior.

Ein: I've been... occupying my time with something new. It tends to make this sort of thing slip my mind!

eplip: I can add a text box that tells the player "If you can find the doors, anyway," or something to that effect.
Okay I seem to be stuck in game. Silly me...

What do you do, or rather, where do you go after defeating red king and black baron? I answered "now, what do we do?" Red king says to paradiso, and then I can start moving again. Then what?


EDIT: Nvm. I found the gate. Man, they never mentioned anything about any gateway opening, and the gate's so well-hidden in the darkness...

I can hear the background music playing and dog if I press Enter but that's it .... Please let me know if there's a fix for it in the works.

Oh, duh. Yeah that's a spectacularly easy fix. I didn't know what anyone meant.


Why didn't you ask for more details, then? The bug takes three minutes to check if you already have a save, after all. This makes questions very easy to answer. Help us help you!

Another bug to report:

Dragon and Titan somehow taught the wrong level 69 skills. Although the descriptions put at level 69: Dragon is Muspelheim and Titan is Raikanishu, but when I press Alt, it shows Fire Shield and Earthshaker respectively. And this is proven when neither Ethan nor France learns Muspelheim and Raikanishu even when they are already at level 72...



I can second this bug. Thunder Battle and Atlantis are learnable and usable, but I never picked up Muspelheim or Raikanishu on either of the characters that could learn the skills, despite leaving the relevant Traces on whenever the characters weren't in the party. Thanks for mentioning it, eplipswich; I forgot about it.

Just in case this bug hasn't been mentioned yet, since I don't wanna read the spoilers posted in here just yet.

This game has great potential, but the bugs seriously have to be ironed out for this game to be excellent.

Is there any way to get a reupload of the patch? When I try to download it all I get is a 404 error.
I'll have to try my hand at uploading directly at some point, without timing out. I can guarantee my internet is much, much worse than yours.

Just managed to beat the game on hard! Somehow managed to avoid getting the script bug (after easily 100 tries) caused by Predator hitting a poisoned character. Had tried using Tank on Will (does it really work?) combined with Null Ailment for two, but the Predator attack still targeted my two other party members normally (Ethan and Francesca which were my mainstays, only used the two others for some boss battles). Oh yeah, choosing non-elemental for those two others was very important to prevent heavy damage due to the weaknesses. Overall, I found my first playthrough to be quite challenging! There's probably quite a few techniques I never tried.

Anyway, I decided to start the NG+ on Normal to give myself a break. Somehow, the screen is stuck on this cutscene:
