Premise
Reniat returns to her home village after years away at boarding school to find that the village is nearly deserted. The mine that the village depended on heavily for boosting its economy and tourism has been overrun by monsters and no one has bothered doing anything about it. Having trained as an adventurer, she decides to see what she can do about reviving the town and making a name for herself in the world.
Homework Salesman is a life simulation game with an emphasis on dungeon exploration, completing quests, crafting new equipment and items, and befriending the people in town. The game takes inspiration from the Rune Factory and Atelier series.

Update Log:
1/27/14 - v1.2
- The last two bosses in the game will now put up an anti-frazzle shield if they get hit successfully by frazzle three times. This shield will dissipate after 2 turns. Note that it doesn't count just frazzling the boss, it will count if you frazzle any boss minions in the fight.

- Fixed bugs related to Liffely's cooking delivery service.

- You now get a quest telling you what to do next if you defeat a certain field boss after defeating the last boss of the Caves for the first time.

Homework Salesman is a life simulation game with an emphasis on dungeon exploration, completing quests, crafting new equipment and items, and befriending the people in town. The game takes inspiration from the Rune Factory and Atelier series.
Features
- Befriend each villager by talking to them every day and giving them gifts. Higher friendship levels allow you to learn each NPC's personal story and can also gain you access to new shop items, skills, hidden goodies, and more.
- Unique items means that each item in the game is treated as a separate object. You can rename equipment, find rare versions of them, upgrade and repair them (weapons have durability), and even enchant them. You can have several iron swords each with different enchantments on them.
- Six unique crafts: Cooking, Smithing, Tailoring, Enchanting, Alchemy, and Construction.
- Quests are divided into two categories: story quests that propel your adventure forward, and side quests that are procedurally generated.
- Features a world encounter system where you can find random events in field maps or dungeons, such as traveling merchants or a bandit who'll offer to spare you for money (or you can kill him)
- Enemy encounters and (most) treasure chests are randomly placed on maps. You typically won't find the same monster encounter in the same dungeon spot every time. Treasure chest contents are randomly drawn from a pool of items appropriate for the zone you're in. You can also find unique weapons with randomized names, stats, and enchantments.

this might be a very late reply, but if you are still looking for it,
go to the western part of 3rd floor, and use it near the hill over there (you need to press Z to make it work).

Umm, does anyone have a list of who likes what? I accidentally gave HOrton something he dislikes...
it's on the wiki.
What do I do after placing the rope ladder on floor 3? I found the book, but there's a hole I cannot find a way over?

quoted from here:

You have to defeat the 2nd boss on that floor, Queue Boy. If you search around the eastern part of that map, you should find a room. There, you need to drop down the right path and then kill the bugger. He will drop a bridge that you can use to cross over to the exit to the 4th floor.
author=flitchard
How to go to floor 4? I am totally lost in the mines, did I not need to murder the skull demon?
if it's listed on your quest, then yes.
if the skull demon is the one that i think about, he should be on the last room in the 4th floor.
I recently got into rpgmaker games and downloaded this game and really enjoyed it, untill the moment I had to restart everything because Linus disappeared, couldn't find him anywhere even on rainy days.
I know the game is "old", and i really like games with crafting like this one, it's well made even though it has variety over quantity, but i feel like i had to get some things off my chest. The grinding is annoying because it's there to mask the game, what i mean is, you take what? 10 hours of grinding to finish Colorous Cave? Because you need to farm all the equipment and level up everyone to survive 2 normal attacks from a normal enemy skeleton. It exists because there aren't many dungeons, the game masks lack of content with excess grinding, so you end the game with 100+ days instead of 20-30.

This game is one of my favorites and I play it daily! (ﾉ> ◇ <)ﾉ♪
Sadly, my computer's memory deleted it somehow, so I redownloaded it and I found an issue after Xebec "dies."
When I go to buy something from the pub, the game freezes ヾ( ๑´д`๑)ﾂ

Hey caged_bird98, could you send me your savefile so either me or Diedrupo can figure out what's up?
@Ronove
I'm sorry to file in a false report here, but I figured it out. I need to quick save before I buy the bottle of spirits.
I apologize for any confusion given.
Thank you for the concern ^^

It's too bad to hear that this game won't be continued. I think it does some things well and has some interesting concepts. I particularly enjoyed the crafting aspects and the old-school RPG feel. I think the characters are interesting, and the dialogue is weird, wacky, and surprisingly well-written.
I hope one day that the creators decide to pick it up again.

Oh my goodness, that's sad ‧º·(˚ ˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥ )‧º·˚
Maybe the creators got a little busy with life and couldn't find time for it. But, I still will play the game until I beat it and I will enjoy what I have of the game ^^
I also hope they will come back to it someday ♫꒰･‿･๑꒱
I will say this again: the reason we've stopped is the game grew too big for either of us to handle and we ran into a wall and then our interest died so to speak. I feel the game as it is stands on its own relatively okay and Diedrupo does want to fix a few things and give it more of a definite ending as it is, but life does what it does and gets in the way.
Thank you anyone who continues to find HWS and enjoy it. At the very least, I'm glad people enjoy it as it is right now.

Thank you Ronove and Diedrupo for this amazingly addictive game ^^
I play the game daily in hopes to find new treasures and other things to make my life in the game awesome! I enjoy finding all the different treasures, meeting all the different characters and npcs alike, searching and exploring the new places, and the bosses give me a great challenge and want to make an effort for the game!
Again I thank you both for this awesome game! I feel like this game will be one of the very famous rpgs ^^
Best wishes <3

Ronove said that Diedrupo wants to fix a few things and give a more definite ending, so I assure you it will have an ending. Everything will be finished (̂ ˃̥̥̥ ˑ̫ ˂̥̥̥ )̂
