Bloodstained Hands

Hey, thanks for the feedback! Truthfully, I have no idea how difficult the game can truly be, since, well, I'm the one who made it. I know how to play it most effectively. So it's good to know when other players might be struggling at certain parts. Personally, one of my favorite features of this game is New Game plus, for the simple reason that you can fully utilize the spells and characters that you can get later on, but I'm glad you're enjoying the game!

Bloodstained Hands

Hmm. That's an interesting hypothesis, and one that I'll look into, it's possible I'm overlooking something critical with these updates that I'll need to be more aware of in the future. With the exception of the Overdrive system, I don't think the game uses and variables or switches to mark game progression outside of the in-game variables and switches, which have their data stored in the save file itself, but there may be additional steps I'll need to take when updating the files in the Data folder to make sure the compatibility is good. Regardless, thanks for playing, and thanks for the feedback!

Bloodstained Hands

Could be, although I'm not sure. What I usually recommend for updating the game is to download the new version, then move the save files from the old folder into the new one, rather than overwrite the files in the old folder. Let me check the download files once more, maybe there's a problem with the upload.

If anyone has encountered this bug and has been able to fix it, would you please comment below to let me know? I'm never sure if something is fixed unless I get feedback about it.

Hi StrangerByNight,

When you downloaded the new version, did you activate the list at the entrance to the sanctuary? The same one that allows you to change your name? That's also required to fully update the game. It should reset your party properly.

As for money, no it's not a bug. Monsters don't carry money. Ask around the sanctuary, you'll find the key ways of making money. Again, when it comes to game progression, I'm not typically inclined to answer every question if it can be found on your own, but I will answer requests about bug fixes.

Hey fifacv, I'm happy to help, although most of what you've asked for help on has been about game progression. If you have an issue with a bug, please do report that and I'll update the game to fix any bugs that you find, but when it comes to something like this, most of the answers you're looking for can be found just by doing a little bit of exploration and searching on your end. I'm really not inclined to answer every question that every player asks if it's just about how to get through the game, unless it's for something genuinely very obscure. I'll answer this question, but from here on out I'll only be responding to inquiries about bugs or errors.

Now, as for the sewers, it's actually very simple.

Depending on where you entered from, all you need to do is follow the path until you reach the last ladder. That's it. Here's a path that shows the direction you should follow. I really can't make it any simpler than this. In case you're wondering, this is pulled from the graphics folder, so that's why there's no water, but you can literally just walk behind the drains. They're not actually blocking your path at all.

Hey AnneLaurant,

Yep, just got a report on that bug as well. Thanks for hiding the spoiler, really appreciate that. I literally released the updated version about 5 minutes ago, so it's good to go. Just download the new version, move your save files into the new game folder, and since the bug has already occurred for you, just activate the list at the entrance to the Sanctuary and your game will fully update. If it doesn't update immediately, try leaving and re-entering the Sanctuary, then activate the list again.

Bloodstained Hands

Ugh, I feel like crawling in a hole and pulling it closed behind me. I don't even remember updating that part of the game, so why on earth did it create a bug THERE!? I found it, I fixed it, but sweet baby Sephiroth, this is frustrating. Of course, I release a game with a major game-breaking bug just as it gets more downloads in 48 hours than any time before. Lovely. Great reputation I'm building here.

Okay. It's fixed. Version 5.6 is available. This version includes a fix to a major game-breaking bug during the mission Vengeance. If you've already encountered this bug, download the new version, then simply use the list at the entrance to the Sanctuary, and your game will fix itself.

I'm so sorry for the inconvenience.

I've been a little lenient lately with spoilers in comments, but that's a little too much of a spoiler. If you can hide spoilers in hide tags that would be appreciated.

Like this.
Now, what were you saying? Is there a bug where Marisa doesn't leave the party? Your comment is a little difficult to interpret.

Bloodstained Hands

The game has been updated. I hate releasing so many updates in such a short period of time, so hopefully this will be the last for quite a while. Or just the last period. If you can't be bothered to update the game AGAIN, I don't blame you, but if some of the bugs in the game bother you, then the updated version is available. Save files are still compatible.

Included in this update are fixes to all the bugs I mentioned earlier, for broken skills and graphical errors, but I also added one more thing that I'd never thought of before until the most recent feedback. Since it is kind of irritating that there is iron to be mined in Mount Fulmen, and you can craft weapons with it in the next town over, but you don't get a pickaxe until two missions later, I've fixed that by including a low quality pickaxe at the peak of Mount Fulmen. It won't get you through the later dungeons, but it will allow you to mine Iron ore and access certain blocked chests a little earlier on, as well as give you resources to use at the nearby blacksmith.

Hope this helps. Sorry for so many updates. Couldn't let those bugs go unfixed. Happy playing!

Bloodstained Hands

You'll find one later in the game. For the stones in Mount Fulmen that require a pickaxe, you'll need to come back later.

EDIT: I'll be honest, I never really considered how irritating that must be. I'll consider making an adjustment to that, since I'm going to need to release an update soon anyway. I'll get creative and figure something out.
