That's great to hear Dante. Thank you very much for playing the demo and bug reporting. I'm a bit curious on how long it took you to get through the demo (what was your time played on your character?). Also, there should be a bit more content after the message regarding the end of the demo. Feel free to give it a try. It's likely to be a bit buggy and at some point there are quests that will just stop working without warning, but I'd like some feedback since it's the first time I've made it available to the public.

Thank you again for your time. I'll keep plugging away and get a patch in here in the next few days.

Good news,

Pretty sure I got the interest rate system in working order. The bad news is that RPG Maker doesn't like to work with decimals very much, so I will have to make some adjustments to the skills and the amount of interest gained from them (which technically won't take very long). Also, I don't know how to post a patch that will fix any current issues a player may have if they have delved into the investment and stock market skills which will mean that when an update is posted you will have to start from the beginning to see how awesome it is to earn interest on your bank account. (Sorry Dante!)

Actually good news for me is i have a save prior to buying those :), right before talking to Cyrax and go to neutral

- The issue with nanosurgeons is actually during character creation, aka i pay two skill points before starting to begin with lv3 Biology and then i never get the skill no matter how much i leveled up any of those 3 skills, so my problem was i tried to start the game with it.
so you'll locate this bug in the character creation part

My solution on my current save with the big bank account + more since i back track to before buying those skills, was starting with biology lv 2 since you always learn nanosurgeons when you buy skill lv3, you just don't get it during character creation

edit
btw the Infared and lowlight abilities for the cyber eyes are pretty cool


I've gone over the skill creation system and play tested successfully. This will no longer be an issue in the next patch.

Thank you Dante for the bug report. I'll get to work on them right away.

-Getting the rent for the room to work properly has been a challenge. I just need to plug some more time into it. With all the other mechanics that I've been trying to include as I go I'm not surprise that I overlooked something on this area. However, you should always be able to leave a room regardless of the rent.

-I'll double check the doors in the Safe House. You should never have been stuck inside a room. Should be an easy fix.

-I haven't completed the interest rate for bank accounts yet. I apologize for not mentioning this in my update log. I've kept a list of the things I've completed, but overlooked making a list of things that are not completed. Please be patient and I'll get that added as soon as I can.

-The music bug will be an easy fix. Thank you for that.

-I'll recheck the botany, biology, and chemistry skills. I'm pretty sure I know what went wrong there and should be a simple fix. On that note, the biology skills that are acquired haven't been fully fleshed out. Another error on my part for not giving enough information.

-Will have to investigate the pick pocket incident. Makes me wonder if a file is missing. I'll have to get back on this one.

Again, thank you very very much for the bug reports. I hate them, but keep them coming anyway.

*Edit*
-I found the error you were referring to with the biology, chemistry, and botany skills. Biology is the only skill that will train new abilities. The message you were receiving from training botany to level 3 was an error on my part. In future updates you should no longer be told you learned nanosurgeons from training in Botany.
-I couldn't find a reason why you would not receive the nanosurgeon skill from training in biology. I need time to play test to see if i can get the same error.

*Edit*
-Found the bug with room 202 on the second floor and swatted it.

*Edit*
-Found that I had not updated the script for sleeping in room 202. Did some patch work to try to fix the problem. Will need some play testing. Room 307 and 404 should be in better working order for now.

*Edit*
-Just making some guess work with the error you got from pickpocketing. I made a few minor changes to see if the ! error will stop. Need to playtest. Also fixed a spelling error.

*Edit*
-I'll put some work into the interest rate script over the next few days. If all goes well I'll try to update again in the next few days with the fixes.

Titan City Review

Elder71,

I very much enjoyed reading your review of my demo and greatly appreciate the time you took to play and compose such a well thought out critique of what you experienced. I'll try to keep this post short, even though I very much want to touch base on some of the points you made, because I haven't updated the demo in about 1/2 a year. Rest assured that I have been diligently working on polishing game play elements that you have mentioned, most notably the real world combat compared to web combat. With similar feedback I have received from other sources I have been working on the main quest line to provide more information and to be more entertaining. As such there is a large portion of the game that is broken and needs to be repaired before I can release a new update.
I noted that you did not seem to progress past the Slums and urge you to try to push through where you will witness more story elements that I hope will provide you with more thoughts on the games main quest line.

Again, thank you very much for your feedback and time. I hope future updates will meet your expectations.

Hello MrFrench,

Thank you for trying the demo that I had available. I have been working diligently to polish game play and bugs as I go and I can assure you that many of the things that you mentioned have been addressed in some way or another. The demo in its current state does not show the real progression of events once you are in Neutral Territoy and I fully understand your frustration there. While I have yet to release a new patch to the game, there are a substantial number of new elements that are going to be available including a reputation system, side quests, working trainers in Neutral Territory and so on. I will create a proper update log when I unleash the update.

Long story short here is that I am going to try and provide a new update with a little more content. Progress is slow, but I am trying to build the core infrastructure, mechanics, enemies, skills, etc. so that I can concentrate on story progression.

Thank you very much for your input. I contribute a large portion to the progress to this project to the people who have taken the time to play and respond with constructive criticism. It truly is a wonderful community of people that I am grateful for.

Hope future updates meet your expectations.

CC's Feedback

Clareain,

Thank you for your video feedback on the demo of Titan City. You have given me a lot of great ideas to consider. I can't begin to express just how incredibly helpful you are being for this project. I already have some ideas on the plate revolving around your suggestions that I think will clear up a lot of the hassle from the character creation system at the beginning.

I feel that I am on track with a few of your other suggestions as well, I just haven't completed them yet to make them available in game. I have been concerned for some time that the changes that I made to what character stats do would be confusing to players and I have been working on an instruction manual. Transferring that to an in game item will be an easy task. Thank you for the suggestion.

I will address as many other details as I can posted on your video and hopefully have a patch available in the near future.

Thank you again for your time and feedback. You did an excellent job on expressing your worries in a positive manner. I am very excited to make some changes that will benefit the project as a whole.

Game Play Elements of Titan City

Hello Clareain,

Thank you for the leads and advice on what I can do to reduce the file size. It has been a bane in my side. Once the holiday season is officially over on my end I will take a look into the programs you suggested. I am positive that a little more tweaking can reduce the file size, but I will still likely need some added support to reach that golden 150 meg mark.

The demo I released is at the least 4 hours of game play, and it's likely to be more than that for a first time player. I would be very interested to see some form of feedback regarding the work that has been done so far, but please keep in mind that many functions and story elements may change drastically before the story behind Johnny Li is completed.

If you would you like to make a critique of this demo for Youtube please do so with my blessing. All I ask is for a link to see your work. Feedback is welcome here.

Thank you for your interest.

Thank you Leigh. I have a demo available for download if you are interested. I would very much appreciate some outside feedback on what I have so far. Please keep in mind that this is not yet a finished product and it does have a few bugs here and there.
