NO you can use previous saves from v2 and v2B and 2C and 2D.

If you have saves from 2E, 2F, 2G, and 2H they work with 2I.

This is not a major update, so if you have 2D, you do not need 2I.

VERSION HISTORY
Current Version = 2K



TWEAKED in V2K---
- New small village to the south of Eraki.
- 10 new quirky weapons
- New status ailments include, burnt, numb, shocked, drowning, burrial, suffocation, shine and posessed.
- New skills to act accordingly.
- New more powerful skills with risk or rewardish system.

FIXEDin V2I ---
- If you jump down the second tier in the first cave after beating it, you can get out now.



ADDED in V2H ---
- After a battle, you now have 1 second of invulnerability / immunity to average enemies. You can plow through them without having to fight them. There is a note telling you too.
TWEAKED in V2H ---
- Lullaby is less effective. Most enemies that use it now use it slightly less.
TWEAKED in V2H ---
- Wind Spirits now attack more. Peaches have slightly more attack power. Guardian Angels have less starting MP.
TWEAKED in V2H ---
- Notebook transparency.
ADDED in V2H ---
- If you've already put out the fires at the first tower and exit the tower, you can select to visit the top or start at the bottom.
ADDED in V2H ---
- In the first tower, enemies are blocked by invisible walls to prevent bottlenecking.



]ADDED in V2G ---
- Enemies drop more things to aide you.
]ADDED in V2G ---

]ADDED in V2G ---
- A powerful, yet vulnerable class called "creepy girl"

TWEAKED in V2F ---
- Doorways will now be passages and not doorways.
TWEAKED in V2F ---
- Fire now has a note popup when you run into it for the first time. It tells you walking into fires is bad, and it damages you and you need blue potions to restore your health.

Dogs & Cats don't make their noises unless you talk with them.

Brighter house interiors in the daytime.
TWEAKED in V2E ---
People playing pianos have a fixed direction when you talk with them.
TWEAKED in V2E ---
Removed the hide ability from low level equipment, because when you hide and you're alone it counts as death.
TWEAKED in V2E ---
Note sends you to Creall at the armory instead of Creall.
TWEAKED in V2E ---
Tear sheets stay up.
TWEAKED in V2E ---
Time passes by 2x slower.
TWEAKED in V2E ---
You are now restricted to certain areas until you get your party.

FIXED in V2D ---
In a mine south east of Eraki, there were falling boulders, which should not have been there at all. They are now removed. These rocks were a game stopper, because you could get blocked in.
UPDATED in V2D ---
There is also a sign to warn people about the mine cart. It is very glitchy if you try to move while you are riding it. So there is a sign specifically warning and reminding the player.

FIXED in V2C ---
In the ice cave, there was this thing that look like a sword apparently on the floor on the third room (where the blue chests are). When I got to it, not only I couldn't pick it up, but the graphic was actually over my hero's sprite as if it where floating!
FIXED in V2C ---
In the Hosts' den, I found the chest with the electric guitar, but couldn't find the way to get out of that area.
FIXED in V2C ---
- Also, in the castle, I noticed a few scrolls on the first floor (the two on the left hand size outside the walls, one in the top right corner room) that can't be picked up. Is it a bug?
FIXED in V2C ---
- Also, I found the ice cave. I got into the second room but once I opened one of the blue chests it threw me out.
FIXED in V2C ---
- In the second screen of the mountains, there's this treasure chest and a flashing star near the bottom of some small waterfalls. You can walk across once to get near them, but if you try to do it again you can't reach these treasures.
FIXED in V2C ---
- I found where Craze's shrine the problem is when you try to leave. Anyway you go to leave the shrine, you here footsteps sounds as if you were leaving but remain in the shrine.
FIXED in V2C ---
- When you talk to the lady that sells the items, you get a new note in the Notebook called "Catagories". Since you don't have them anymore for the items nor the spells, it is no longer applicable.
FIXED in V2C ---
- If you talk Enem more than once at the beginning, he can either block the doorway or, worse yet, cause the game to freeze. I actually had seen this one for your demo, but forgot to mention it.
FIXED in V2C ---
- Remember the switch to the right of the first stairwell of the tower? If you flip it, it causes the game to get stuck.

FIXED in V2B ---
- Mining freezes the game for 30 seconds when you mine at the same place twice.

FIXED in V2 ---
- Another Bug: The first switch in the tower malfunctions upon it's second and third use. Just see for yourself.
FIXED in V2 ---
- In the first dungeon, if you go back to talk to the guy who asks you for a splint he will heal you but his picture remains on the screen even after you move to another map area. This is highly disconserting and makes it very hard to play the game as it takes up almost half the screen.
FIXED in V2 ---
- Also, both "Cure Orb" and "Heal Orb" at the beginning give a heal orb.
FIXED in V2 ---
- I'd like to report a bug: No matter how many times I used an equipment ability, and no matter how many kills I got with them, they never get any CP (It was in the first dungeon, if that matters).
ISSUE ---
- a graphical issue: in the indoors, anywhere you have a doorway, you extended the wall, so that when you walk into the room you appear to be walking across a wall; you should change that all those tiles from wall to floor.
FIXED in V2 ---
- heal is described as "Attack Mind +20" (this is definitely wrong!)
FIXED in V2 ---
- there are items that you get either from the treasure chests, flashing stars or as drops after fights that once you check don't seem to be added to the inventory (I'm not sure about whether it happens after fights)
FIXED in V2 ---
- when you get some items from treasure chests or flashing stars, it will be saying you're getting 0 (item name), when you are actually getting 1 of them (I'm not sure about whether it happens with the flashing stars)
ISSUE ---
- sometimes even though the story has advanced, the NPCs will start their conversation by saying the some of the same things as before, before saying the new dialogue (ex. the mayor, after you go to talk to him after rescuing the brothers)
ISSUE ---
- in the menu to buy equipment, you can't see the effect of equipping new equipment for the 4th party member (I got around this by moving that switching my party to move the member to the 2nd or 3rd slots, which is very inconvenient!)

Go to the armor shop.
Hi there,

I've downloaded the newest version (V2 N ?). Everything went well - until I've entered the Tower of the Hosts - I dit it, but after the balloon appeared, my allies aren't in sight. I couldn't enter the balloon, I was asked to save - as I did. But now I can't get further on. I've used a returner to Eraki, but even there I can't see my allies and so much the worse I have been asked constantly to save - so all my safe files are affected. I can send you my safe file, maybe you can help.

Please excuse my terrible English.
I'll write you about it :-)
Please give me the code for the Chest in the Weapenshop in the first city ,sorry mi englich ist not good.
Can you tell me what the orbs mean for the elements in the enemy info screen? I have almost no idea what they mean, you don't even have a note in the notebook for it. Also, after I fought the shaman the boss music played when I went into battle in the overworld. The same thing happened after I fought the angels in the tower. Can you fix that?
I probably can fix that after thw eekend. Not sure what the orbs mean. Chances are they're just colors. I'll check it out. It has probably been fixed in my next game.
Enjoying the game so far....Very interested in Part 2. In the meantime I am attempting the first castle. Had to leave and go buy more goodies. By the way....what do all the (!) mean when you see dogs?
The ! means the dogs spotted you :-) Basically its a little thing to get you ready for when certain enemies spot you and do the same thing. They chase after you when they see the !

Thanks so much for writing Roy!
Just took the Joni route and have her in my party. She asked to be escorted to some town or other. Problem is, i've been to 2 towns now and she hasn't even batted an eyelid. Really wish there was a world map...I get lost so often...

More on topic, where exactly am I supposed to take her? And is there a "main quest" to this game?
There is a world map. Anyway, take her through a tunnel, up a mountain and to a town. I'm not really sure if there is a main quest since there are so many branches. To my recollection, she can sing and use instruments in battle.
There is? o.O I haven't seen one so far. Could you please tell me where I can find it?

Alright, let me put it this way then. Is there a "final dungeon" and "final boss"? The presence of either usually indicates a main quest of some variety.

Thanks for the fast response.
Thanks for writing.

I'll dig it up and maybe take a screen shot. Due to the shockingly random interest I've started mapping again. No idea if it will be for this project or not. This has been pretty done for 2 years.

Go south from the start town, follow a trail south east, there should be the tunnel. Then go through it following the path with the guards. Come out and you will see a mountain, climb the mountain to the village.

There is a final dungeon and a final boss.... but then I decided to continue the game and kind of painted myself into a corner.
I went through the bestiary and updated all of the icons so they make sense. I will upload it eventually.
I started over playing this again today. As I read what people type and you respond, I was wondering if your picking this up, and dropping number 2?
There is an Epiquest 2. Its actually fully done, but I wanted to test my engine so I came out with DungeonQuest that turned into its own game. Oye. Anyway, this game has been done for 2 years.
Ah ok, thanks for clarifying. Your a busy busy man.
Well, I still haven't found a world map so far, and i'm already at Thedona Village. Did I miss something important back in Eraki? :o

Also, just let the demon live in the ice cave, and i've been wandering around a while without finding any new quests. Am I supposed to grab the boat in Thedona next? Without that world map I don't really know where i'm going D:
I think I was meaning a world map as in playable not a drawing or a picture. You could make your own world map. I think you drop Jonni off in the elf town up a cliff. Good you let the demon live. You can grab a boat yes, it will take you to other areas.
Oh. You might want to make such a world map then. It's very easy to get lost with a world this size. :P

Already dropped Joni off, that was ages ago now. Thanks for your help with that one.
How many hours are you into the game?

Anyway, I think from there you need a boat. So do what it takes to get a boat. There are 2. Don't remember how to get either. The game isn't very big, you're just on one continent.
