Yet another final check.

I have begun what has to be my 8th playthrough of EL1, as therewere some major problems that needed tending to and I needed a big break before delving in one final time.

I believe the intro is functioning well now, and that was indeed my biggest worry. I'll finish playing through in its entirety anyway, just to make sure there aren't any game breakers, but I'll release it after that.

As for the other two games, the new EL2 update is also complete (I believe), so I'll be getting to that playthrough next. The third game is going to have a bunch of new content, and I have yet to start on that yet so it may be a while before a new version becomes available. As far as I know, the main quest won't be affected, I'm just going trigger happy with the side quests is all.

On a final note, EL1 is fun. I still love the leveling system, as well as energy conservation during battles. I kinda wish I had carried it over for Fragile Hearts, but whatcha gonna do? They're two completely separate series. I'm going to get back to trying to promote this series when I finish, because I still believe in what it stands for and I'm proud to have completed them.

UPDATE #1
Played a second hour of my playthrough just now. Progression is even better than in the old version, I must say, and the weak attack is a decent addition for the first couple levels.

I'm fond of the energy system in EL. Would you ever consider a tutorial on how it was done for others who may have an interest?

Also, awhile back I sent some suggestions for story tweaks mainly when you first meet the knights and a few additions afterwards. Have you thought about adding them in? Not quite the full fledged remake you were considering, but it will definitely help with consistency for your other two games.

And as always, good luck.

For the life of me, I can't remember if I added that in or not lol. That's another reason I'm doing the playthrough, it's been so long since I worked on this that I forget half of the things I added or changed for this version. I'll have to take a look at your notes after I get past that part and I'll let ya know.

UPDATE #2
3 hours in. Forgot how tough this game can be if you don't take the easiest paths. It's possible to go through the volcano before heading to Lanfros, but it's really not a good idea.

UPDATE #3
Fourth hour finished. I got past the part where I meet the knights and I don't believe there was anything new so I'll hafta check the notes after all.

I'll go back through my own notes as well.

It was mainly adding in dialogue for the knights and main villain.

UPDATE #4
Just need to add a few extra lines from those notes and I can release this thing again (as well as the coloured version).
