GIBMAKER'S PROFILE

author=Diamondborne
Hi! I am huge fan of this game since the first version and this new image alone made me register just to say thank you very much for consider reviving this. One of the most atmospheric and well written RPG game I've ever played.

Thank you. :) This version is the one that will most-definitely-100% be carried through to completion. Not like all the other versions. This time I mean it.

I understand.

You see I'd just played The Witness and I wanted to try making a "figure out what the symbols mean" type of puzzle.

Oh, a backlog of bugs D:
I guess I must get back to it soon.

If you miss getting the Thunderstricken staff in chapter 1 it's GONE FOREVER ;_;. This is partly due to the fact that if you can complete the steps any time, the scene of Vigil getting struck by lightning might not be tonally appropriate for later parts in the game ... Also Vigil's appearance changes in this chapter (which perhaps you've encountered already) so there would have to be alternate versions of all his poses for that scene, and there would inevitably be bugs and broken things as the same areas get reused in later chapters and it would have just been a big headache. One of the big decisions I made in fact was that going forward there will be no more "side-quest"-type stuff as it's just too much work to fully support complicated optional side activities that you might complete in any order ... bleh. So if you don't get the Thunderstricken staff by the end of chapter 1 all the related items just disappear for simplicity.

Speaking of which, I'm surprised you even found the grid game D: I thought maybe it was hidden too obscurely. And I've considered stripping it out entirely. Which puzzle are you at?

The fox noises are taken from real fox videos. 100% authentic foxfoxes.

I didn't plan to "scale up" older areas, instead you're just going to eventually find new areas that are scaled up. On that note, the shalks only start shooting flames after you reach a certain level.

I'm glad you're playing this and giving feedback. Thank you ;_;

Thank you for yet more notes. I will have to work on this when I can. I remember discussing how I thought about putting in an alternate ending to the beggar battle where you give money but I decided it was too much work.

Oh no, murlderls :C

I hope it doesn't take too many tries to beat the birds. But for random mook battles while you're exploring an area, I think it's best to err on the side of being easy, especially at the beginning of the game.
