Amputation is the Best Medicine

Interesting change that seems well thought out!

Good for you!

The Other: Airi's Adventure

Came here 'cause TVTropes Characters page for "Trick & Treat" pointed me saying that this was a sequel.

Gonna correct that once I find the right terms.

Nice music and art!

Textboxes seems like it needs more contrast if I'm not playing fullscreen.

...

Lol! Riku and his unpaired socks! Niice!

...

Typos, but this is an almost year old demo. Likely some of these have been fixed?:

Antidote recipe has no description?

----

Apprentice Alchemist Scolding is too long for text box.

----

The Wanted Thief Completion is still in Chinese.

----

Reading Boy's message is undefined after getting Lillian.


----

Should stop and get back to troping Charlotte / Amelia games. Unless you want me to trope this now, pre-commercial release?

...

Can't leave after it's too quiet... Hmm.

Oooh! Great plot! Nice sprinkles of humor!

Looping space!

Took me a little while to go right.

And can't leave without talking! :)


----

Weird Coding

Activating the Pocket Money in front of Barkeep doesn't work, but it does if I use it in the guest section??


----

I don't have to use the hat. Probably should, just for the defense though.

I can even have them take off their clothes and shoes... Uhh... Okkkay.

...

Large Gap between the bench save point and the next one?

...

More notes:

oooh! Time actually passes sensibly! Cool!

And Inn's cost has been accounted for!

I was hoping Airi's phone would be an Elemental Electricity Book or something, but no. Ah well.

...

Weird. I can fight the apprentice alchemist. Why?! ... And that was a bad idea. I guess my rep went down. Restarting day...

...

BLT is OP! At this level it's a full restore! I guess it helps keep me from dying too often without a close savepoint!

...

Big Tomato sprite is big and scary! Not gonna take it on until I heal up!

...

I wish I knew that Alchemist Scolding option was that, but my progress made makes me not want to reset anymore, and just take it as as it does. Lucky I chose a good option.

...

What?! I made the SP potions but can't use them?

...

Was hunting for Giant Tomato, and gave up when I went to fight mysterious person. Then I find Giant Tomato hiding in the corner...

And my Rep went up from beating it. I guess it's a sorta boss.

Barely took damage, so gonna try Mysterious Guy when I'm at LV5...

Defeated him! ... I completed Lillian's quest in a day!


----

OH... You can save with the menu! I thought it was save points only! *sigh*... Well, gonna retry for a Deathless Chapter 2 tomorrow, maybe.

----

Gonna go check the Steam Demo...

Oh, wait, she's the Dark Knight. She was smiling and cheerful, so I thought she was Holy Knight, and Holy Knight was from Evil Order-God thing.

*sigh*

That's what I get for not paying attention?

Mini-realm power sources?? Power sources for what / who? Needs more explain... Eagerly waiting!

Also, no busts of Jakob and Armin... Huh. *shrugs*

Date Knights

Wait, what? No download?

Oh. Rainbow of Positivity mandates game complete by 14th. Ok. 3/4 more days until Game!

Well, it looks safe, but maybe it isn't...

Born Under the Rain

author=NeverSilent
I've been wanting to play this game ever since it came out, and yet I never got around to it. So in order to make up for that, assuming nothing unexpected stops me, I will be streaming Born Under the Rain this Saturday at 7 pm GMT (exactly 48 hours from the time of this post). Let's see if this game is as good as I've been told it is. I have high hopes!

http://www.twitch.tv/theunsilentforce/


What difficulty?

Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass

Finally bought a copy, instead of waiting for a sale.

Tried to transfer my saves over.

It gets me a dead Jimmy... *shrugs*

Well, gonna replay, then. 'Cause those Demo saves are weird, even with the newest version of the demo. No Spider Web, and instead, Fingerless Gloves, etc.

FRESH experience!

Weird and Unfortunate Things are Happening

Watching the stream... Wondering about a pronunciation guide... And I think we already had one, but I dunno.

Vedim: I say "Vee-dim", but I guess "Ved-im" is sensible too?

Elothu: L-oth-oo

----

... Wait, Healy Mouth water "wells up from the realms beyond"... What realms are those??

We've only known of Vedim Space and the Derleth Expanse, right? ... There's other realms out there? I guess the same place as the positive energy of the wisps?

Well, Elothu and the other have to come from somewhere...

----

The ability to change difficulty after choosing, seems to be need to be said?

----

Psychic Energy is needed to escape Daybreak... How many Evocations worth?

----

Oh, right, Alicia's psychic ability is a PubertySuperpower. Given Dottie's age, it's implied that's how it's working for her, too?

----

Ugh. I gotta sleep. Bye. There was a typo found in the stream, if it hasn't been reported:

"Activite" from Elothu's explanation of Skill Space.

Okiku, Star Apprentice Review

Hmmm...

I think I agree on basically everything, but I like the humor.

Also, the conversations with the people, flesh out Ryoko and Okiku more, since they comment on the Wand of Blasting, and stuff.

I'm against the "Uses default assets" as a negative, 'cause those are pretty high quality assets, it's just that they've become standard, since they're default?

Unless they're not high quality? I think they are, though.

Good review!

----

Hmm... What level did you end at? I'm... I wanna say 50 something? Yep. 57. I feel overlevelled?

At the end, it leaves off with the mystery of "Why that summon"...

I think the biggest problem might be how easy it is to overlevel?

Okiku, Star Apprentice

Loving all the conversations with the townspeople!

Interesting that we never see Nishino boy's pregnant mom. *shrugs*

----

The place names and stuff... Feel familiar, and have meaning... But where...

Or are they just Japanese, and have no meaning beyond that? Hmm...

----

... Kaminoyama is called Kawanoyama on the map...

----

I'd trope this if I had the will... Which I don't right now... But anyone can make a trope page for a work...

https://tvtropes.org/VideoGame/OkikuStarApprentice

You also have a Creator page now, because it's weird listing your games in games' pages.

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Creator/Marrend

And I should call you a "He". How did I miss the "Male" in your RMN Profile??!

----

Not errors, or not important:

I have this weird save at the Final Battle where it's just Ryoko, and a Black Screen...

But when I replay that battle with a save from the first floor of the Tower, and then save at the end, then load ''that'' save, I just return to the main menu?

https://rpgmaker.net/users/Malandy/locker/Okiku__Save15__At_Final_Battle.rvdata2

... Oh, that's what happened "before"... Wow, when did I play this?

https://rpgmaker.net/games/5774/?p=4#posts

----

Also, Ryoko's Never Die doesn't work if it's used after her Barrier?

And a Sealed Ryoko that Never Dies still has the Seal, regains all her stats, and can cast?

Still totally playable though!

And it's intentional.
