MALANDY'S PROFILE

Troper... Need to catch up on my Notices...

Starbaby

Not sure if the option selection color is too dark compared to the background of the screens.

...

Aw, peaceful far future!

Happy ship name, Festivus!

...

"Gerber Quadrant."

Is it...

"Huggies Nebula"

It is! HA!

...

Meowk! Lol milk.

Owies buh-bye! Never had to use it. Healing station ftw!

...

Baby sounds when interacting! Nice!

...

How do I manage to push a teddy bear up to hit the button to turn off the gate?? Space physics means gravity is weak?

...

So, getting a Pokey-wokey keeps the aliens from auto-damaging me on contact? Very useful.

And killing one costs me some health depending on how difficult they are. Very much a Sandstone feel! Interesting!

Sometimes the weakest take 20 HP, other times 15. Strange? Random? Or dependent on killing the orange guy? Nope, just sorta random. Not too annoying, just need to keep track of numbers.

...

And strategic alien corpse creation keeps enemies from moving at me...

But trying a pacifist run. Took me so long to find the explosive! I thought I tried interacting with it before. I guess not.

And wow, it's a very plain description. Ominous.

...

Met-o Jam jams!

Woo!

And now she looks like the game image! Wow that's big armor. Hehe.

...

I guess I can't Pacifist this. Gotta kill all the oranges to unlock the path forward, for one thing.

And the boss, but that's it. Don't gotta kill the lowest levels.

...

Barely any dialogue, all pictoral emotions! Very baby! Nice!

...

I thought Violet was calling the purple-haired adult in the beginning room mama, and the other was gonna be papa, but no. Ah well.

For the purposes of completeness and knowledge, I'll try that path when you update! Unless the lack of knowledge gets too annoying. Hehe!


Nice! Hah no yer not annoying at all, this is great!

I'll post a changelog when the update is released (and credit you for the fixes you inspired), so you'll get a Notice. Also:

In case you didn't the first time around, pay Droppre (the herbalist) a visit with Wrix, he'll help you out.



Woo! Notices!

I meant I'd play it again, if the need for information burns hot enough that I get impatient, heh. But I have Starbaby, and stuff.

I got the Charm that lets you see hints so I knew to do that thing, but it took my second playthrough to figure out what the hint from that event meant, and that was just because I accidentally went on the right path.

A.k.a:


I only found the hidden herbalist after accidentally making my way into the first steps of the invisible path. I thought I'd have to be able to break Skystones to get in, but no.


Thankfully, my save scumming for Chips meant I didn't have to use any of the pricier vendors.

Due to the RNG nature of whether Chips drop, I wonder if it's possible to be softlocked if the RNG hates you enough. Eh, thankfully the game's short, and you don't need that many Chips, so it should be fine.

Helping people is fun and contributes to the game making community! But in more specific things to you... Gonna try your Starbaby!


Supercool, I hope it's entertaining for you! Just a quick bit of fun for a jam, lot's of goobly baby noises :)

I wonder what happened to the file here? That's so weird, I know I uploaded it when I submitted the game. It's up here again, glad you found the itch option.


Yay! Now others can play it and stuff!

Sandstone

Greetings, thanks so much for playing Sandstone!


You're so welcome! I wasn't sure if this was still active and stuff! I guess I thought this was older than it was?

How did the Thiccboots get made in the Alternate path? Aren't we missing an ingredient?


If you choose Wrix, you wait for the lava to cool instead of crossing it right away, which has consequences...



Yeah, but IIRC the message still talks about the boots like they were made?

Since the message says they're destroyed by the hot lava? As if you were actually wearing them?

Weird that the Oryx messages don't occur every time?


I set the Onyx message to play when you smash the one in Act 3 just to make sure players are aware they got one, but left if off on the ones you can smash in Act 4. One one hand they are needed to proceed so are a special smash, on the other I worried I'd annoy players. What are your thoughts?


Well, I only really noticed / got confused because I smashed all / both of the available Act 3 Onyx, instead of just one? Maybe put all Act 4 Onyxes in the Act 4 section?

Is it Oryx or Onyx? Now I'm confused elsewhere too, hehe. Well, a replay will set me straight.

Fell off the tree and survived. Is that all I get out of it? No item?


Yep, the encounter with Wrix in the branches is just for fun, for story. It is slightly different if you choose WaiFoo over Wrix, but either way no item.


For the purposes of completeness and knowledge, I'll try that path when you update! Unless the lack of knowledge gets too annoying. Hehe!

Thanks again for playing and for your great notes! I'm happy that you found a few laughs along the way, and that the adventure was fun enough that you took the time to see it through.


Helping people is fun and contributes to the game making community! But in more specific things to you... Gonna try your Starbaby!

Err... https://3b48.itch.io/starbaby ... Because the RMN page doesn't have a download link for some reason. Well, I have an itch.io account, so if you see a name like mine there, you'll know who to message and stuff!

Because baby protags are fun(ny)! Like this other game I also haven't played, "D is for Dungeon"!

8UylOZ.png

Interesting, plain name, great power.

Uh... Typo: Sabber > saber

Port Traventor

Checking this page out because I'm planning on playing ​Succubus Shop and wanted to know if I should play this first.

Cool, using RPG Maker to make non-RPG games! And oooh, Match 3 games! So nice puzzle classics! So gonna try Harpy Lady Lind after Succubus.


Description typo:

it's economy > its economy​​

Sandstone

Subbing because I'm commenting. Came from "Users who like Alchemistress Vivi​, also like..."

And was intrigued by the sorta silly description! Will play after Vivi.

Interesting vague cover art!

Alchemistress Vivi​: https://rpgmaker.net/games/11733/

And I failed to win again. Ah well. I got real lucky my first time. Second time I didn't think as hard.

----

Minor typo in the beginning:

"ravages of Sky, it's" > "ravages of Sky, its"

...

Ha! Buy two get none free!

...

Can the Level Up Stone never drop a Chip? Or is my Save Scumming just unlucky?

Yep, just unlucky.

...

Grubbin Cave: Wrecks > reeks

...

Ah, and if I want to not need to spend 20 on a Balm, I should buy them early, and remember to sleep in my home tent. I didn't know that was possible until I tried!

And I only understood Waifoo / Waifuu's name after Wrix called her the latter!

...

And I can't run away from Sandstone to avoid the bridge breaking! Nice!

Weird how Strong Hands isn't a full heal, just a 50 heal?

...

That Dangerous Pot! Ha!

...

How did the Thiccboots get made in the Alternate path? Aren't we missing an ingredient?

Weird that the Oryx messages don't occur every time?

...

Choices matter! I thought so.

Can't sneak into the shacks! Good programming!

Fell off the tree and survived. Is that all I get out of it? No item?

Save scumming means never having to use the expensive shops... ... BigBalm is big. There's no Skystone marker for the Balm-maker's town?

Never had to return to WaiFoo to finish the game. Huh.

Took the Slow Ending and important event wasn't mentioned. And I got confused by the Fast Ending until I reread it.

For further explanation:

I killed Skygod but WaiFoo's death was unmentioned.

I paid Skygod and it says I took one of Wrix's eyes, but she had them both... Or did it? I need to reread. Ah, I see. "And to have have taken... unthinkable" indeed.


have have > have

A New Game in the Luxaren Allure universe!

Congrats! And isn't it now the Allure Universe now? Hehe.

Prayer of the Faithless Steam Page

Wow! Good luck!

Next steps - Affinity

Complexity is complex... Good luck...

Well, ask around, I know that "Remnants of Isolation", "Weird and Unfortunate Things Are Happening", and other games have done multiple item slots for the same type of item...

It could just be having something that counts as two types, but in menus they count as the same sorta thing?? Logic...

Weird and Unfortunate Things are Happening

Well, I needed TVTropes to tell me about Endgame+ / Third Ending... Now to see it for myself! Eventually. Likely after Christmas.

Callbacks! Wooo! ... Multiverse! ... Man, that ending's gonna affect things if the Expanse joins the universes...
