Hotfix #2 and Contemplation

Good News?
Hotfix #2 for the Aesthetic Update and Cursed Passages is out. I still dunno if old saves will work, but in any case, I took out the major bugs after spending about 4 hours on a playthroughs to identify bugs and from Roy's assistance in bug spotting. Thanks Roy!

Taking a look at my progress so far, I've taken another look at my very first map; The Bandit Town. I'm going to revamp it, as it's uglier than a Butt Ugly Martian at the moment. Hopefully, that doesn't mean a slough of new bugs.

I also plan to EVENTUALLY get some legit sprites in the style of Final Fantasy, as the current pictures don't cut it :D

Bad News?
I'm seriously contemplating pushing back the release date for the end of the First Saga, as well as my internal date for the end of Chastitas: The Broken Land as a whole. Inspiration is coming to me in leaps and bounds, but a lone amateur using resources from the internet only does so much, so fast when accompanied by IRL Responsibilities and Desires. Don't take that as "I'm Giving Up." I most certainly am not. I'm getting more and more motivated for this project as I go.

More Good News?
I'll release the final "small update" demonstration to give all of you guys that final taste by the end of March, if not before then. After the last "small update" demo, I'm going only start putting them out for you guys to play with after I finish each major landmass and storyline portion. However, if you'd like to play it, just PM with a request to be a tester. All I need to do now is figure out how to let people be testers....

Wish me luck!

Kodei's INTIMIDATE spell is in Japanese.
At the oasis Telbooze is said to be to the east instead of the west.
After leaving Kodei's house, I cant find Kenshi anywhere.
When you enter the door to the ELDRITCH ESTATE you cant go back out.
Also when you enter the door to the house you are taken once again to NAIRIKUNO which is still empty.
That's Shinoken. Elder Kodai is the old guy who gives you a bunch of exposition.

Other than that gripe, I'll have all of those taken care of by 10:00 PM EST.

Nairikuno and the Eldritch Estate are in-progress, thus the description as "wholly unfinished." You're free to explore it, but it's going to be empty for a while. I won't be starting any more legitamate work until the 28th around 5:00 PM EST.

In any case, those random teleports to Nairikuno are getting on my nerve. I'm pretty sure I had killed all of them, but I'll run through Kenshi's House and the scenes related to it as soon as I get back to my computer. I'm pretty sure it's related to me completely recreating the map for Kenshi's house, but not changing all of the teleports. Playthroughs on my end are necessary to test this though.

Thanks for all the bug searching Roy! Without you, I'd have been completely unable to find at least half of them.

Wish me luck!
I dont mind visiting Nairikuno town but players need to be sure to save before going in because you cant walk back out.
Since Nairikuno isnt fixed up yet....when we go through the mine north and beat the boss...is the demo finished or is there stuff to do upon exiting it?
BTW youre welcome...Id rather you just say someone helped w/o actually mentioning me by name. I like finding bugs. Dont worry I will keep looking.
Alright, quashed the Nairikuno Teleport bug, it was what I thought it was XD
Oasis dialogue is now logical...
Shinoken's Intimidate Spell is now in English.
Nairikuno and the Eldridge Estate should be exitable now, but both are nowhere near completion as of yet. Gonna do a playthough now to test the scenes prior to the Cursed Passages. Cursed Passages themselves seem pretty stable.

I'm thankful man! I'll make sure to keep you anonymous from now on ;D
If you'd like, I'd like to make you an official tester as well, so that way you'll get the sneak peek at everything that comes after Nairikuno, the Aquifer Riddles, the Aquifer Temple, and the Dynastic Roads.
Ok...great and thanks!
Did you mention where Kenshi went....I cant go into the Passages without all three and succeed in beating the boss.
What is past the Passages or is it the demo end?

Now this I've fixed the bugs, but I haven't uploaded the executable, (I noticed quite a few more bugs on my playthrough.) I'll have to upload it tomorrow.

I've just fixed where Kenshi dissapears, I failed to set up some self-switches that would activate the last page that would send you to an event outside, thus putting Kenshi BACK into the party.


After the Cursed Passages, naturally you'll head to Nairikuno. A bunch of shit will go down, Shinoken almost gets killed, you stop a Coup d'Etat, and you'll be admitted into the Aquifer Tunnels. From there, you answer three riddles, (Multiple Choice!) to get into the Aquifer Temple and get Tensai. More shit goes down. Flashbacks. Some dramatic shit goes down. We have some Dramatic Irony mixed in, then you have to re-traverse the Cursed Passages, get smashed by Gleam Eyes, Lose Shinoken, get your ass smashed AGAIN by the driving Antagonist, Kukyona rescues your ass, Telbooze gets conquered, you get to go through Dynastic Roads.

At the end of the Dynastic Roads, I'll conclude the last demo. Nairikuno, The Dynastic Roads, and all the Scenework are the biggest hurdles here, so it'll take at least a month to get it all finished. Luckily, I'm gonna have a lot of time off soon, so I'll be able to get a majority of it done.\

And that's pretty much everything that happens post Cursed Passages! As of the current demo though, there's not gonna be much post CP, minus the wholly uncompleted Nairikuno.

Oh, and congratulations, Lead Tester! ;D
You'll be the first one to play most of the last demo, as well as everything that comes post Dynastic Roads.

Keep up the bug hunting man!
