Walkthrough?

I've been getting some PMs about the puzzle in the Wind Trial of late. While I could post the long-version-solution and the deviousness of it all as a separate tab, I'm wondering how useful it could be to have a walkthrough of some kind? If I go the walkthrough route, I doubt I would put every little bit of information about the game in it, but I figure it would be fairly comprehensive, covering as many options as I think are available to the player at any given time.

Anyway, this isn't as-so-much a traditional "I need help yesterday!" request blog, but more of a "I could use some opinions on whether or not I should mess with this idea, so let's have a poll!" request blog.

Now I watch, as nobody responds to this blog.

In the case that nobody caught the comment, since it was on a totally different game page, I've been writing up a walkthrough for Matsumori Days these past few days. It's been a somewhat draining task, and what attempts at humor exist sometimes suffers because of it.

Anyway, status update: I've been busy putting in stuff like items, equipment, characters, critters, and generally all that "other data" that doesn't involve writing out the actual walkthrough. If I re-write anything, it's the explanation of skills. I currently have this rather technical explanation, and I literally don't know if I'm even writing it properly. A more simplified explanation will probably be what everyone will see.

I personally did not get stuck enough to need a walk through.

I have to agree with Adon, I was able to figure out everything on my own. But making a walkthrough is probably a good idea, in case some players got stuck along the way.
Anyway, along the lines of your last post, I'd say re-write the skills. If it's too technical and number/formula oriented, most people won't have a clue. It will be easier to understand and more enjoyable to read if it's user-friendly.

The funny thing about it is that the people who get stuck would only be stuck with the Wind Trial (Stupid riddles!), and probably the fight against Shirai. Or, heck, the regular enemies in the Forest of Eternity probably mess with player's heads a bit! Anyway, I've poured quite a bit of time into this task of writing a complete walkthrough. I'll be damned if I don't finish it!

Welp, I think I'm pretty much done! All I need to do is proofread this monstrosity. Any takers on helping me do this? I thought not.

I've also noticed some random spelling errors in this game while confirming stuff for the walkthrough. I suppose I should update the download, since I know that they are there. *mumbles incoherently*

While I did ask for help, the file is pretty huge. The RTF file I have is 440KB large, but I copy-pasted the contents into a TXT file just to see how big it was in that format. Turns out to be 88KB. Which is about 10KB more than the notes-file I sent to the maker of this game in a PM way-back-when.

Anyway, I want to check up on a few things before I'm willing to send this monster off. Any more takers or have I scared them all off?
