UTOPIABLUE'S PROFILE

Hello, I decided to take a short break from my second game and stop by to check out how my first game post was doing. I'm glad to see it is still receiving some attention after all this time.

Was I mistaken or didn't this game have an achievement setting? I downloaded the newest version but should I have downloaded the Game Jolt one?

The achievement's system is only available on the Game Jolt version.

Ew. Nothing worse than an RPG that can only claim high playtime due to an outrageously empty but huge map. Also, the whole attacking mini-game is the most annoying thing I've ever seen in an RPG, and worst of all, the damage is only a tiny bit better even if hit all 3 spots on the minigame with no option to disable it because not everyone wants to play your stupid annoying minigame. Oh, and nothing better than having to heal blind and poison every single fight over and over, even in the first battles of the game.

No bueno.

I am sorry this game is not to your liking. That one gripe you have with the attacking minigame... I explained the purpose of the "Attack" command in like the third post of page 1. I said this:

No, its not a bug that was how I designed it. There are only two ways to gain rage points, you either take damage (7 points rage) or you use the attack ring (5 rage per hit). It was to give the "Attack" command more purpose. I have played many RPGs where once you gained a few skills, the "Attack" command became useless because you could just spam skills from then on. So the sole purpose for the attack ring is not so much as a damage dealer but as a quicker way to gain rage.

So, the "Attack" command is completely optional.

Also, the high playtime is due not for the huge map but because of all the quests, sub-quests, events, and story dialog cut scenes. I highly recommend you look at the Walkthrough Guide. If this old school RPG is still not your thing. I am sorry and I hope you check out my next RPG which will be Tactical in nature.

Hey kenlan! I have fixed that bug you mentioned. That was an oversight of mine... didn't expect anyone to warp out while going through that pathway. Now transparency will now be removed if you use any Call Stone.

About the beastiary, if you don't use Domino's "Reveal" skill then the "steal" page for those enemies will not be shown in the beastiary. Only the "drops" page will be shown.

The Frenzy Amulet recipe is there... you might need to do a little reading...

I hope this helps.

I know that I have at least resolved the biggest problem you mentioned in the review. I have created a difficulty option in the "Systems" menu that should resolve the high evade and critical issue with the enemies.

I just realized something upon reading the part where you describe a battle scene.
You never mentioned about using Phoenicia's "Cure" spell to undo the Blind status.
Using that in conjunction with eye drops would help a lot. Blind only affects your ability to hit them when using physical skills or the "Attack" command. So it is handy to have a spell caster in your team since magic spells will not miss.

-The poison damage in the over world is extremely lethal! A poisoned character with 4,500 hp will go down to 1 hp in just around 10 steps!!!!! Always carry antidotes and magic water so your healer can cure poisoned characters!!!
-Characters with reflect buff will reflect healing magic back at enemies; restore their health instead!!

These two above I believe are not very major issues to me. I think it will make the player more cautious about what actions to take, or not take, when they arise.

-Skills that have cool downs used in the end of the battle will have their cool downs carry over to the next battle
-Restore skill, even when used in the field to restore hp, will be on cool down after one use...

The cooldowns for certain skills and spells are in there because I think they would be too overpowered if used all the time. Especially that healing spell.

-Some common enemies and bosses have one hit kill skills that are horrifyingly accurate!

I'm not sure about this one. Unlike spells, physical skills have a chance to miss or critical hit... if that is what you're saying then that should be resolved with the addition of the difficulty adjustment.

Hello everyone. I have uploaded RPG Maker VX RTP to my "Downloads".
This program is required to be installed if you wish to play any VX game. This will resolve, hopefully, any problems with missing files.

UPDATE:
I originally could not release a full RTP version of my game because the Game Maker would not extract any files larger than 128MB. But today I have learned how to get around that problem!

The new version of Epic Odyssey is now on file!

Heyho! There's an issue in game! When you need to find the 5 kids (side quest) in Tarsus. I had got all the children, and walked to the teacher, and my character DISAPPEARED! If you're moving in this "invisible mode", you can scroll on the entire city map, and you CAN talk to people. I managed to exit Tarsus, hoping the character reappears, but NO. So I went round the teacher and talked to him from his back, and it was OK.

Hi Nagi82. I have found the bug and fixed it. It turns out that if you talk to the children before you speak to the teacher it will cause your character to become transparent and passable. That's because I accidentally left a bit of code in the children's event tab while I was putting together that mission.

I have deleted that code. Plus, I added code to the teacher so that when you speak to him, he will undo transparent and passable from your character.

To everyone out there who has downloaded my game before this post you can either redownload the updated game or if you don't, just make sure that after you found all of the children in this quest that you speak to the teacher first before speaking to the children and you will be fine.

I'm sorry about that. Thanks Nagi82 for letting me know.
