So cool!

Only one weird thing, after playing for a little while. Saving while in

Show

Mariam's Skill Space

Gives me two Mariams for my save's character list. Interesting, but not problematic?

Oooooh, I know what's causing that. I may just disable saving in the skillspace to avoid it.

EDIT: Actually, I thought of another way to fix it. I'll give it a try.

And that her Poison can't kill enemies by itself is intentional?

Yep, you'll have to finish them off yourself. It's intentional. There are some really nasty poisons later on and I don't want them to oneshot players, so poison itself doesn't KO.

Wow! That'd be three playthroughs over a few days! That's amazing

Thanks! :DDDDDDDDDDDD

And yeah, I shouldn't be so hard on myself as a lot of games take a lot of time and love to get released.

Just so you know, Uni, you're making an amazing game.

Congrats!
I'm really hyped for this and I'll give it a try asap (tomorrow). Hopefully, I have my old save backed up.

IIRC, the Encounter Bar turns Yellow, after a certain number of encounters.

Did you intend for it to change, even if you didn't fight anything?

'Cause I fled from a battle and the bar changed after... I'm not sure if the change would happen if you ran from all the encounters...

Well, it makes it easier to do a Low Level Run, *shrugs*

And anyone not fighting the monsters likely is doing it on purpose...

Is the Rage, Terror, Sorrow mechanic, new?

Or has it always been there, and I just didn't notice until now?

It seems like they're doing a Rock-Paper-Scissors elemental attack thing, and is an important mechanic that seems to only be discussed by the monsters?

Or was there a Note about it, that I missed?

In other news, wow, Garry gives a lot of Obols.

Are there only two Grimoires in the game?

Transformed Tome, and Heptameron? And they both give Mystic Boost, but the latter also gives Divine Breath?

When they were introduced, it sounded like the skills would be mutually exclusive...

And I expected more variety, like we have with Bats and Guns... Then again, we're only at 60%?

Maybe I need to backtrack to find more... I'm not sure if I can... But not sure that I can't, either... No, I think I've found it?

----

On the topic of Weapons, since it looks like Dottie's gonna be a player, I wonder what would her weapon be? She's a kid... She doesn't have any natural weapons...

----

And since this'll likely be the last post of anything relevant, where's Dottie's parents??

----

Cool, naming the school's halls after fairy tales! Totally reflects on the Ruler of that space, too!

----

I'm quite sure Wisps don't respawn?

----

Maybe make a manual or FAQ?

There are only two grimoires in this release, since you only get Lamar in the last section. And yeah, they aren't super diverse in skills, tho I hope to make future ones more unique. There will be plenty more grimoires in the final release.

You'll have to wait and see ^_^ Or I guess I could spoil you if you really want to know.

In the early stages of writing, I had Dottie's mom featured, but I felt like it bogged down the story and didn't add much. So, in the final game, she's out of town when the disaster happens (Dottie references this, mentioning being worried about her flight, in the game's opening). As for her dad, he left them about a year ago.

Thanks! It was a late addition when I got some great feedback about the school being a bit confusing and signs would help, so I had fun coming up with signs that would fit.

Wisps don't respawn, right?

Right. They give a nice break the first time you explore an area but then they're gone.

For future areas that you do more backtracking in (like the school), I've been thinking about adding a central pool of more wisps than the player would need at first, so they can make a decision about if they're going to use them all at first or use them gradually. Just a thought I'd had, not sure how it'll pan out in the final game.
