LORD_RUTSAH'S PROFILE

Yeah the game gradually does slow down in game speed for me the longer its running.
I thought it was just my computer. Other than that... Hurray more lines crossed off!

In truth I have added even more staff, that's why it's taking so long. Remember how everyone complained about the items being a mess in your inventory? It's been fixed and it's super slick now!~

I would add images but the internet here is so awful that I downloaded a 10 GB patch for We Happy Few in 3 f@cking days, so...

Is the update still releasing today?

Not even close. I still have a lot of work to do. I'm working on the game daily (check the facebook logs) but damn it's a lot of work. I had done a lot of sloppy work with Floor 7, and I'm fixing everything in the next update.

i hope this helps

also during my play through hana got poisoned and won't stop taking damage i've gone to a fixer about 5 times to try and fix it
and i love the game and am proud to say that i've wasted 32 hours on the game keep up the good work

Poison is removed just by resting in an inn or taking an antidote.
What has probably happened is that you've equipped a weapon or armor on her that has negative health regeneration.

(Health Regeneration is a total, aka you start at 0% where the character stays the same, and then the various items are added. For example if you have a helmet on that gives you +5% health regeneration, then she will be filling health as time passes, like poison. If at the same time you have boots on that give you -10% health regeneration, then your total health regeneration is +5% -10% = -5%, which makes it seem like poison. Try changing gear.

Are you sure this is the only image with a name like that? There should be about 2 more like it there. The one I need is "EffectsWindow".

Relax and take your time dev. The game setting and music tie in pretty well per floor and event. Having the main player consider whom to trust or suspect is well written story-wise. Good job.

He has a reason to complain. I've delayed the update like hell.

Report on what I've done till now:
1)Potential ending to the game added. It's not canon, as it requires you to fight an opponent who's basically meant to be unbeatable. It's accessible only after arriving at Floor 13 (though it takes place in Floor 7). The ending specifically sets the player ending up with Hachi + his class girl in a harem-y ending(in Nao's case the player and Hachi end up acting as her caretakers instead of lovers like with the other class girls.)
2)Exclusive quest for assassins added: Go on a mission with Nao, in Floor 5, based entirely on stealth (guards are too powerful to face more than once or twice). Lockpicking and sneaking fun, using the new mechanics of guards introduced from Hikari's tomb. It is mostly inspired from the Thief series, but it still includes most of Broken Reality's rpg elements, like dialogue choices etc. Probably one of the depressing dialogues in the game added on that (assassins get the darkest content of Broken Reality in general).
3)Exp curves increased. Leveling is now much harder in general, but in exchange every quest I touch/make now gives exp rewards. Even basic decisions in conversations (that don't loop) give exp rewards for reaching certain outcomes.
4)Fire, ice and storm force removed. New states added are: fractured rib, slashed eye and broken foot. These have been added appropriately on attacks and weapons, resulting in small stat losses that can only be removed by using bandages or resting (like poison, but not dealing damage, instead giving -accuracy percentage etc). For example all hammers add +15-25% chance to cause "fractured rib" state upon attacking. It's in the spirit of Fallout, or Call of Cthulhu 2006, and helps make weapons previously not used as much more useful.
5)At the start of the game, the player will be able to ask about his fate from a fortune teller. This allows the player to choose up to two perks that are permanent for the rest of the game... But these are both positive and negative. For example choosing the perk "Hoarder" will permanently double the amount of gold and items you receive from monsters as loot, but will also permanently cut in half the amount of exp they give you. Since this fortuneteller appears at the docks (which are inacessible for players who have gone past them), I have also copy-pasted her once (out of context) in Urbus, for players who have already progressed in the game. Her copy will be deleted in the update after the next one. (These are all basically special permanent states or stat changes. They are reset every time the player is revived and they cannot be removed with any way.)
6)Arena fights completely remade in Floor 7. The dialogues are now much better written, the monsters use sound effects, are tougher and all that. Players who have already beaten the arena before this update is released can speak with a special npc (requires to have beaten Floor 8) in the area to reset their arena rating, so they can see all the special dialogues. Like the fortuneteller, after the next update that NPC will disappear.
7)New quests added in Bergheim, aka the arena town.
8)Temple of stone in Bergheim redesigned to be more neat and have less empty space, new quest added there.
9)Bergheim visually improved. Now the town is much more alive, (there are small gardens around, a restaurant and other stuff) also there is a 50% chance for light rain to start (does not affect anything).
10)New shop added in Bergheim, called "The Needle's Tale". The shop sells various rare armors. It also sells a new set of clothes for Hana (changes her sprite) after the second arena fight (it's more of a side-quest, purchasing the clothes gives +200 gold for every arena fight won afterwards. Grum the gargoyle will tell you about it.)
11)Various areas of Floor 7 completely remade, like the previously awful mountain path that used to be a trashy straight line, or the dungeon-tomb inside it.
12)New sex scene with Hachi for players who have chosen to romance her, in Floor 10(snake castle). Probably the kinkiest thing I have written for Broken Reality so far... Aaand by some miracle made it give actual character development. Partaking in it (optional) will make Hana like you less.
13)Various small improvements in Floor 10. For example the traps are now somewhat visible even before you step on them... But not much (still meant for assassins to use "detect trap"). The traps there have also been updated to act as the newer versions of traps when "detect trap" is used, aka if used once in the room, they are all permanently revealed.
14)Starting from Floor 7, assassin characters will start developing a fear of tuskers.(goes with the theme of assassins being hated by everyone who isn't an assassin... and most of those who are assassins. Builds up to the sex scene with Hachi in floor 10 and also the player's brother-sister relationship with Nao.)
15)New word-wrapping script used. Now the journal pages will properly cut sentences where they're supposed to be cut instead of missing half words.
16)Hana's class reworked. Hana can no longer wear general armor but she can wear both light armor (assassin gear) and magia clothes (blood magus gear). Her damage with normal attacks has been reduced a bit, her health has increased so she's less of a glass cannon and she now has a passive 5% hp regeneration (per round, or per the same number of steps she would take poison damage), related to her being favored by Mother. Players can therefore choose to play her either as a magus or an assassin, or any combination of the two (she's much closer to the Hollow Priest class I'm preparing for the DLC, after the game hits steam, as she is more or less Mother's priestess, Conan-world style.).
17)Katanas removed as a weapon type. All katana weapons in the game have been changed to regular swords, and any move requiring them has changed its requirements to swords.
18)2 inn rest events added, with choices affecting player romances or morally grey questions, where every answer is wrong (stiiill haven't decided what I'll do with that data, though I am keeping it based on player choices.)
19)Various small improvements in Floor 13.
20)Most bugs reported fixed, + various other small changes, like making the sewers of the Town of Beginnings a bit cooler (proper sound effects + dynamic lighting (yeah that thing kicks ass)).
21)Much work done for Floor 14, though that still isn't available to you, the players, so nothing to show for it at the moment.
22)Some useless moves deleted. Removed drown trap from Hana as it was too overpowered (could lock most bosses to death in a meaningess battle). Instead gave her "Black Rose" (aoe hit that costs 40 magia, adds 100% invoked death state to all opponents (all bosses are unaffected by "invoked death"), instantly ending non-boss fights in exchange for some heavy mana cost, and dealing (formula): a.aff * a.agi / 2 - b.aff * 50 dark damage that can crit. Limited to one use per battle.

Things left to do before the update is released:
1)Change the waterfall and beach areas in Floor 7. Specifically planning on adding a goblin debate quest where the old goblin camps were, instead of the old mindless boss fights. The goblins are arguing with each other over moving to the city's where king Ezalor has invited them, or remaining in the wild as bandits. I have no idea what I'll do with the beach, though I imagine the changes there will be minimal, mostly affecting NPC conversations instead of the whole area being redesigned (it's already pretty neat).
2)After the third arena fight, the ticket seller will give the players a quest to attract more goblin merchants (the fat goblins) to the arena, as VIP guests, scattered throughout Floor 7. After completing that, the players will be given VIP tickets, allowing them to join the high-class restaurant/observatory of the arena, during a romantic-ish night. The area will be packed with dialogue choices to make with Psema's high society, aka the worst kind of scumbags, like goblin merchants, one of Floor 14's witches (a new one, though she will be a lesser witch compared to Shriek (the shadowy one from Floor 8's Leona route) and Vixen (the one you meet in the inn of Tolbanna at the start of the game), a Nao (haven't decided yet if I want to foreshadow her route ending there or build on the player's fear of tuskers) or Kaliska dialogue (Onyeka and Azar don't really fit there) and others.
3)After much consideration I have decided that blood magi and assassins can actually romance Bloodfang (I have his friendship meter just sitting there for a three years now, collecting data that is used for f@ck-all.) I think the reason the two physically-strong classes can't romance him is pretty obvious (eew, + it doesn't work in the narrative). Not decided if I will include it in this update, as I already have a lot of work cut out for me, but it is definitely in the plans for the future.Done for now.
4)Since the word-wrapping script finally made the journal not look like a bad joke (it's pretty neat now), I want to add personal journal entries of the MC, upon first visiting big towns like the Town of Beginnings, Asari and Imperia. Hooowever the journal has the same issues as the recipe script of messing up with old saves, so this will only matter for new characters. Old characters will get an option to add the journal entry or not upon entering the cities, so that they can skip it and avoid game crashes. Done.

And wow I wrote a lot.

Update: I have included new variables in the game, that affect various interactions: Insanity, Testosterone and Estrogen (the later 2 related to Bloodfang being romancable). Insanity will make new monsters pop up, and will cause horrific visions. (All three are gained based on player choices, +as a starting bonus based on the player's class. For example berserkers start with +2 testosterone, -2 estrogen).

How exactly do I open my game files, do I open it in the game folder if so where or do I open it with RPG maker? I'm completely lost on what to do.

Yeah, about that... I found out that since I am making the game encrypted, the data file doesn't actually appear for you, sorry about that. You'll just have to wait for me to upload a new game version as a whole. (I'm working on it daily)
