Glitch & Upgrade

Oh boy. I've gotten a few messages of a nasty glitch. I should win an award for glitchiest demo, this has been a nonstop ride of glitches and upgrades for the past three years.

If you downloaded the game within the past 2 weeks I'd say, when you get to the third survivor you will bypass part of the game, your items will double, and you'll be thrown into the beta of the unreleased material. This was for testing purposes, and as I often do I forgot to fix it. Wow.

So, uh... if you got those copies, have fun being confused and playing glitchy, alpha gameplay, and I guess also spoiler alert?

If you don't want that, and you'd rather replay it, there's actually more updates. I dunno you might be absolutely sick of it but I have made several changes to some cutscenes, shortened dialogue, and I've chopped down the HP of the first enemies so they don't take very long to kill.

Thank you for dealing with me!

Tweaks and Backtracking - And a question for you.

Is biome 3 playable yet? Nope. Still working on it.

But, yes, a new version is out. Backtracking is allowed in biome 2, up till Penelope takes role as the leader of the group; icons have been added to those weird blank category spots in the inventory; dialogue has been updated.

For those who haven't played in a loooong time, if you want to play again:
Sewing mini game; new way of meeting Shelby; tons of updated dialogue and artwork, including new scenery; new dialogue options for Penelope, not so cut and dry what's nice and what's not.

Now, what's the point of telling you guys about it if there technically isn't any new material to play yet? Because if you do want to play again, I need people to be able to tell me of any glitches they find. Especially when trying to backtrack.

Also, I wanted to ask two things.

1) When biome 3 is finished, should I update the game again with that added on?

2) Do you think I should sell this commercially when the finished product is out? The game continues on for a second half after you finish the four biomes, so I plan to double the gameplay. Also, I pay for all of the music in the game. I'm thinking about selling it on Steam for $5, but I haven't decided yet if that's a good idea. What do you think about it?

Corrupted File - 4 Months Of Loss

As some of you might know, if your computer crashes when you have VX Ace open, that file will be corrupted. Happened today, and the latest back-up I have is 4 months old. And my latest Mediafire patch is encrypted.

So, that means that I had to try to remember everything I fixed and updated within the past 4 months. I think I covered everything, but in case there are any oversights or glitches, if anyone notices PLEASE tell me post haste.

Announcement

Apologies

I would like to say sorry for being like "I'm gonna have new content for people to playtest real soon!" several months ago.

Several personal tragedies have transpired, two still ongoing. So, I'm taking a hiatus.

Thank you for understanding.

Request

Playtesters needed soon!

I'm going to need some playtesters soon, like within the next week or so if I continue working at the same pace I am now.

New content: Puzzles with brand new and unique mechanics, a new battling specific to a certain character and a new enemy type, information on the third survivor, and a fully functioning interactive toy piano puzzle.

Playtester requirements, so to speak, are:
• You need to have finished the demo, and have a save file to look at so you can tell me what your level and entire inventory was by the end of it.
• To have Livestream, Picarto.TV, join.me, or are comfortable sharing Skype contacts for the day, since I need to be able to see your screen.

If you want to playtest the upcoming new material, leave me a comment here. When it's ready for testing, I'll contact you.

Missing sunflowers glitch!

Somehow, during the most recent update, the sunflower graphics for biome 2 (the ones that you need to get sunflower seeds from and are nearly impossible to play without) were removed from the sprite sheets.

I have just updated the download link. I'm sorry glitches and oversights keep happening, but that is the nature of a beta game :{

Progress Report

AAGH! Another glitch! (FIXED)

EDIT: It is now fixed, as far as glitch testing says so. Sorry to anyone who downloaded the game within the past day (and damn, since I deleted the download the download history is gone :c )




Sorry to everyone who downloaded the game since I added new content. More game breaking glitches in biome 1. I'll get the download back up when it's fixed.

New content to come.

EDIT: New biome 1 and 2 content available!

I have really grand plans for biomes 3 and 4 coming up, and that made me realize, that in comparison biomes 1 and 2 are pretty bland. I'm working on adding some new content and changes to them, along with dialogue changes (some of which I have already updated). In turn, pretty soon LPs of the game that have already been posted will be out of date. I will add another blog update when the new content has been added, and for those who have already played the game, if you come back for a second go, tell me what you think!

Also, even when making biome 3, I was wondering when I should end the demo. There's a lot of really cool stuff in that biome that is currently not in the demo. But, I ended it where I did not only for a cliff hanger but also because I thought that it would be too much to add in past that.

But, when I start getting more and more of it completed, for those who have already seen the end, should I extend the content of the demo? Keep in mind, once you beat the four biomes, that's only the first half of the game. I recently conceptualized a second half and multiple endings.

I dunno. I really want people to see the cool new stuff with Sibily and new puzzles... Should I add on biomes to the demo as they are created?

Tell me what you think.
