A note to my testers: And GMD

When you are done testing this game, please send it to me via a finalised Word document so I don't have to put up with a barrage of PMs. I'm expecting testing will take at least another month before the game is released ( around September or so ). I don't want a bunch of simplistic errors screwing up the game's potential. And maybe I should seriously dumb down the enemies. I never realised it was that hard. ._. But ERD/EHD isn't supposed to be piss easy either. Nor does it hold your hand. ( Easy for me but... I'm the dev, so yeah ). Anyway, I'll put up a bug report soon ( there is a known one in the last area of the game. Stupid error, I forgot to add in a battle background >< ) that will cause the game to close down.
GMD Entry 5: What I've been up to ( apart from testing this game for the bazillionith time )
=============
Spent most of the last few days fleshing out Tairngire, adding in places of interest ( like guilds and abandoned ruins ), the usual interesting NPCs ( most of them now give lots of useful information, which is highlighted in green ) and the usual grind that goes for testing around here. Rehauled some aspects of the world map, thinking out things more logically ( as in placements of trade-routes, towns etc. ) because when I started this project back in 2011 I was just going with the flow of things. So I redid a couple of things.
Regarding gameplay:
- Enemies no longer drop gold, rather, they drop loot which you can either sell or trade ( like FF12 Bazaar system, unlike that sneaky ( but great game ), the player actually knows what they are getting ) for new weapons/armour/items. And it is usually worth the effort of finding the loot, because the player ends up saving quite a lot of money in the future.
- The severe lack of cash will also ( hopefully ) encourage the player to take on sidequests for some extra pocket change. Large cash bonuses are also rewarded for slaying optional bosses.
- NPCs have multiple things to say as well now. This will take a while to do for the whole game. No idea how many lines of dialogue I've written since I started this thing...
- Also made a new title screen.

CloseVery interesting new improvements. Had several items but not sold and have not found a way to use them.

Okay, I'm not sure if or when you'll get this, but when I try extracting the game through the link you gave me through PM, it always says "extraction failed". The audio extracts perfectly, but nothing else does.
:/ Is there some way to fix this? I've played through the game you have public, but I really do want to play through the testers game.

pyro, if you have a program such as Winzip or 7-zip you can open the .exe file there and extract the game files from there. The problem you had, I also had, so it's not you ...

I wish when finally beating ALTREYU there had been the option to save the game. I hadnt done a lot of things...I never found the spot to use the bmbs for example. ALTREYU beat me to death several attempts until finally I managed to beat him...I dont really feel like doing it again and if there had been a save and/or the op-tion to return to the game....it would have been ok,I guess.
So THAT is a disappointing thing but still I liked the game a lot and we want more.
I will go back to my last save and try and finish doing whatevewr it was that I missed.
