How do you design a good tower?

This post is back with a vengeance.

EpiQuest

Disarm is a better ability to have and you will have that when you equip the knife.

Maybe I should make an elemental orbs to kick start the game.

Small Red Potion says 'Recover 100 MP.' Maybe its the font that makes M look like H.

Blue potions are everywhere, sometimes in 2s n 3s. Gushers even drop them.

You will find saves are abundant. However, they are not overly abundant, because people will forget they are near death and save. I know, because it has happened to me :-) The save code should help you though.

The twin orbs is a great idea, its just sad that I can't really do it due to the technology. Unless I just make a dual orb system.

Anyway, thanks for playing :-)

EpiQuest

Thanks. I'll be uploading V2G shortly if it ever succeeds to make the .exe

You probably wouldn't like it Kentona.

I don't know how to make hide tags.

Do you have your orb equipped? That can give you some diversity with skills at the beginning.

There is a note about the crystals in the game, and people talk about it too.

Wait fire teaches you not to explore? The game is nothing but exploration! Oh well. I put a "fire must be bad" statement when you run into it for the first time.

There are plenty of ways to restore MP. Red potions :-) They're abundant. Not as abundant as blue potions though.

So you spent a half an hour in the goblin cave with no save... did you get to jump down the mini cliff?

You did not pass the test as in this game obviously is not for you :-) It is for other people apparently and that's who I made the game for. The people that get past the first cave. By your logic save = fun! There can't be saves every 5 minutes, because dumbasses would wait until they're nearly dead, save and get stuck because they're nearly dead and they just saved. So there's a save every 10 or 15 minutes.

Actually wait... just for you...
INSTANTLY SAVE
- Unlock the cellphone (I will message you how)
- Enter the combination '0000'
- Enter the word 'SAVE CRYSTAL'
That will allow you to save absolutely anywhere.

And HEAL ALL
- Unlock the cellphone (I will message you how)
- Enter the combination '0000'
- Enter the word 'HEAL ALL'
This will allow you to heal all.

NEW STUFF FOR V2G
- There are now quirky things to be made with the rat pelts.
- Powerful and vulnerable new class "creepy girl"
- Teddy Bears
- new drops to improve gameplay

The thing about 2 orbs, yes that would be nice, but the system allows for one or the other. If I made 2 orbs it would only aknowledge one slot. If I made the orb have the ability to be put in 2 slots it would only aknowledge 1, but that doesn't mean I can't make a main orb and a sub orb.

EpiQuest

V2F is up

- Doorways will now be passages and not doorways.
- Fire now has a note popup when you run into it for the first time. It tells you walking into fires is bad, and it damages you and you need blue potions to restore your health.
- Statements and notes about how you can avoid enemies on the map to avoid battles.

EpiQuest

Spamming in a game? What's that? I seriously don't know. Like multitudes of enemies? Multitudes of help dialog?

Blue crystals let you save your game.
Purple crystals have other effects.
Green crystals exit the area.

Look for the colors :-)

As for the fireplace, have you ever tried to walk into a fireplace with a fire going inside it? You get burned :-) Plus that teaches you not to touch fire, which is used later in the game when you face fires.

You do not wear the lost HP forever, use potions to restore your lost HP.

Depending on what route you use, save crystals are quite frequent. Save points are quite frequent.
1 - you land in the goblin cave, there is a save
2 - exit the first main screen there is a save
3 - find the last lost boy and save
4 - before the boss there is a save
5 - after the boss there is a save.

Well I guess I'm the only person that feels the passageways are good, so I might actually change it in the future, because so many people have complained about it. But hey, they look better for screenshots. The funny thing is those ugly passages teach you how to find hidden passages in the future. Oh and if you call them LAZY why does it take 3x more work to make them?

Its okay to be nasty, because that just means you didn't pass the test. This game isn't for you and I'm okay with that :-)

I don't quite understand why battles are boring when there is so much diversity. You can use the bow or another weapon. You have skills that you can even PICK YOURSELF!!!! The enemies are diverse even in that first cave. In fact even the mini bosses aren't the same each time. They are diverse, because I too get bored easily, so I made a few different mini bosses for each area. Plus to top it off you can avoid many of the enemies, but again, this game isn't for you.

Perhaps if there was more Pokemonish combat :-)

EpiQuest Review

Thanks so much for the review. I will post more commennts about it when I get the time tomorrow.
