Newbie primarily interested in RPG Maker XP (I've actually been tinkering on and off with RMXP for years now, but not frequently enough that I'm anything much more than a novice).
For the time being I'm mostly playing games, and don't have any -real- projects in the works, but I have been playing with one over the years that's basically just an exercise in learning to map and do basic-to-moderate events - there's no scripting (still need to learn that) and for the time being I'm using the default tilesets. It's less a game and more a small but slowly expanding world that the protagonist can explore and talk to npcs in.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Primary skills/interests:
*Mapping (beginner-intermediate-ish)
*Writing (dialogue and descriptive information)
Things I'm not good at:
*Spriting/making tilesets (I really want to be good at spriting, but I'm just not. I've a fair hand at recoloring and editing, though - just nothing from scratch. I have a lot of experience toying around with Ragnarok Online sprites for signatures and avatars.)
*RGSS scripting (I have not yet acquainted myself with Ruby scripting. At all.)
*Complex Events (I'm improving in this area, but so far I've mostly made stationary and wandering NPCs, player action-triggered descriptions of map features, and a very small number of slightly more complex events, like a drawer that gives out a custom set of equips if the player doesn't already have the set).

author=Oceanauthor=AureliaAh wow, that doesn't sound good. Does it give any error message in particular?
I keep crashing on the name selection screen at the beginning. ): Not sure what's causing it, because it doesn't always seem to happen at the exact same moment (I have yet to be able to finish typing my name before it crashes, though).
Nay, it's just the general 'blah blah blah had an error and had to close' windows error message each time.

Hi! I just played the demo, and I really enjoyed it. :3 Excellent writing (I REALLY liked the dialogue), interesting plot, and I really liked the battle system a lot - reminded me a little of FFTA. Can't wait to play more of it in the future. (:

@Aurelia: Yeahh... not entirely sure how you got the puzzle right, but the game gave it to you anyway! o.o! And I did just try the boss with your level/equipment and the boss is beatable, it just takes very careful turns! Probably best to have up to date equipment though to be on the safe side.
In other news: Star Stealing Prince has a TVTropes now!
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/VideoGame/StarStealingPrince
It's such a baby page at the moment though! :O!
Ohgod tvtropes is so dangerous, every time I go there I wikiwalk for hours *goes anyway*. Also, yeah, I'm working on re-updating and balancing everyone's equipment a little. Bought the brigadine for Snowe and swapped out Hiante's cozy mitts for magic gloves (I think I have those on everyone now lmao <<).
EDIT: Beat him! 8) On top of updating aforementioned equipment, I adopted a slightly more cautious strategy and it worked out. Thank you very much for your help! :3

Oh the two on the far sides don't count in the puzzle.
I checked the switches (the in-game one that flips when you do it right) and yep, the one to make the boss weaker is flipped on. So you're on the easier one! Which isn't saying much if you're having trouble. You might want to go update everyone's equipment (like get Snowe a Magic Brigadine (I know it brings down his speed from Erio's Spare Suit, but defense is important!).
Don't forget to grab the two chests north of the steps on the first floor. The two switches on the far sides were to open a gate that blocked those off, fyi.
But yeah, you should be set. Now I'm going to see if I can beat the boss with your file.
Woooow how did... Lmao I have no idea how I got the switch puzzle right. Anyway I'll take your advice and change out some of my gear. And I saw those chests before I did the switches and I was like "omg how do I get those?!" xD Thanks for checking for me!

2 456 1 987 3 ... and it just occurred to me that the outside switches aren't even shown in the guide, hmm. << EDIT: It squishes my diagram together. ): Oh well.
Edit: Fixed my diagram, accidently wrote one switch group backwards.
Save file here > http://www.sendspace.com/file/zgueev
EDIT: Interestingly enough, I did see that 'something happened, but you don't know what'. And I think there was a flash. ... Maybe the Chimera does just hate me. ;_; Though my switch order is waaay off from the guide's. xD Oh and the bottom one says it's stuck too. I checked all 9 switches, they all claim to be stuck.

@Aurelia: Are you SURE they're stuck? I have it set the switches reset themselves if you got it wrong. Unless you got some right and those are stuck... then try just continuing the puzzle from there. If it still doesn't work, you can send me your save file and I can fix that for you (and add something for myself to fix in the game itself).
Though, fun fact: Volrath fought the really hard version and won. Not sure HOW he did it, but it is possible after dying a few times and then having every thing planned down to the second, haha.
I will check them again, just a moment. I did get the outside ones right...
... ... They -all- say that they are stuck. I'd show you the pattern I did them in, but I'm not sure how to do spoiler tags here. I suppose I should send you my save file - how would you prefer I do that? xD

NicoB: usually about 10 hours; give or take depending on your play-style.
Aurelia: XD I figured you'd like those statues (given your username)! haha. But yeah, that's totally okay if you don't have it anymore. But if it does happen again and you're in a place that you can easily test that, please do! I've found that the menu usually crashes like if you open it right after a battle or right after transferring to a new room. If it just happens if you've been idle for a few seconds, then that means, again, another wrench thrown into my theory, haha.
I think I should make a script that allows you to open up the save menu from just pressing a button so just in case, people can still save if they fear their menu will crash the game. OTL
I crash sometimes when I hit the menu button right after saving (to close the menu) and until recently I crashed after every game over screen, but I've died a couple times fighting the Chimera and not crashed after the game over screen.
Speaking of the Chimera, uuuugh, it appears that I ended up with the badass version (I went and looked at the boss guide the first time I died, saw the switch puzzle, and realized that I didn't solve it that way). But the switches are 'stuck', so I can't redo them the way they're done in the guide. Crap. xD

Glad it's (somewhat) working for you Aruelia! I really wish I knew why it did that. @_@ I think what I'll do is try to take out the script that makes the items pop up. While aesthetically it'll make me ;_;, I think that'll save problems from happening like with the book in that room. Don't know what it IS about that book. Clearly, it doesn't want to be picked up.
Oh, did the crashing happen when you picked up the book even if you just loaded your save file? Because if so, damn: that throws a wrench into a theory I had.
I'm not sure if it would happen every time - I forgot to test it. One time was deterrent enough to not pick that book up again until I switched game versions. xD It wasn't just that particular room I menu-crashed in too, I wandered out into several others nearby and menu-crashed there too. Didn't get a chance to test the whole tower though. I'd test these things for you, but I tossed out the w/ gswhatever.dll version and I no longer have a save file for that area.
Love the statues in the guardian shrine, btw.
I lol'd at the Aurelia one whining about her name being weird, and I totally geeked out Cassandra insisting that nobody believes Cassandras. xD I almost majored in Classical Archaeology, so Greek and Roman myth are two of my nerd interests.

I'm encountering the same chapter two can't-pick-up-the-book-or-open-the-menu crashing bug that others have mentioned. By avoiding the book and not opening the menu, I managed to make it to the first room with the candles overhead that have to be lit by the lever (after a lot of crashing - first from picking up the book, then trying the menu in a few rooms), but then got stun-combo'd to death by a pair of ghosts in the aforementioned room, and crashed upon dying. I was really enjoying the game and I'd like to finish it, but I think I'm going to have to hold off until there's a solution to the problem - since I can't open the menu to save, every time I find a new way to crash as I advance up the tower, or die (and crash after I die anyway), I'm forced to start again from the point just before Snowe gets roflstomped by the bird-thing, and it's a bit frustrating after the fifth or sixth time. ): Hope it gets fixed so I can continue playing eventually.
I should also note that I don't have another computer to try this on, really - my younger sister and I share a laptop, but it's pretty crappy, and she's got it with her at our mother's house this week anyway.
EDIT: !!! 8D I'm not sure how much this will help you (Ronove), but I managed to solve my some of my crash problems. Since downloading SSP... early yesterday, I think (or maybe it was sunday), I've installed the VX RTP. So, in a last ditch effort since I had nothing better to do at the time, I downloaded the w/o RTP version and moved over my save file and tried it in that folder - and I was able to pick up the book, AND I was able to open my menu! 8) I hope that helps anyone who's experiencing the same crashes, and I hope it brings you closer to pinning down the cause of some of the crashes (I still crash upon dying - and I did experience another crash, but it and the death crash are minor compared to my previous problems).
