To the contrary on the level cap discussion; I just hit level 99 and am finding the game interminable now that I've also hit areas where that's insufficient to turn off encounters ;-;

In addition to letting players control experience and encounter rates, I'm also allowing story mode to be toggled anywhere, except bonus dungeons that are not completed. That way if players are tired of battles, they can just turn them off.

There are also new accessories if players want to increase encounter rates for leveling. The Bell Collar doubles rates, and the Whistle makes every step begin a battle. The menu will have an icon that changes color to reflect the rate.

The next blog post will also be about a new game function that will make battles beyond level 99 exceedingly worthwhile.

Is this game non-RTP? Or do I need to have RPG Maker 2k3?

All you have to do is download and install. The package has all necessary files.

Hey, I totally agree. I did not like the level cap solution at all. At the time it was the best choice to balance the game, but I have good news.

I'm close to releasing another update, probably the last using RPG Maker 2003. It will correct this issue. The encounter rate still adjusts based on level, but never to zero. Experience received is reduced when the current party level exceeds the expected average, but also not to zero. This allows players to continue to level if necessary, while maintaining some semblance of balance.

Actually, I just had a thought I'd like to thank you for. I'll add an option that toggles encounter rate and experience adjustments. Then players like yourself can enjoy the game however they please! How does that sound?

Hi umm i want to say something and plz PLZ people don't get mad at me but i can't not really i liked this game do to one issue i have with the game in fact do to it i only played 7 hours before saying screw it i can't take this anymore.
And that is the leveling in this game i get the maker wanted to make a rpg where grinding was not really a thing but the fact the game LOCKS you out of any battles after you reach some kind of level cap just really made me want to cry....ok maybe not cry but you know what i mean....you see i find it odd how the maker has a story mode but yet makes it so the levels are locked after you reach ____ level in some areas even in normal gameplay maybe some people like level caps but i hate them.
Anyway it would have been nice to have the option to stop random encounters with like a time or something that way people could play they way they want and not force us to play how they want the game to go.....Sorry if this sounds mean i'm just said that a game this good would take away something so fun as the ability to level up your heros anytime you want.

event script error when i try to enter a airship location for the first time. After having to watch that quite annoying scene where they all teleport onboard one after another.

tldr

This is a common but annoying engine bug. Simple fix is to either:

1) Land the airship on the world map, enter a location by walking, exit back to world map, fly airship
2) While flying the airship, leave the world map and enter the interior, then use the helm to return to world map

Later bosses will use Seize and similar attacks that paralyze your heroes. If the issue persists, send me an email with your save file and I'll take a look at it. Combat is not designed to be frustrating, especially so early in the game. Glad you're sticking with it, though.
