DEMONLORD5000'S PROFILE

Ignore this...internet lagged on me)

Yeah there were times I went through the text kind of fast (i'm a fast reader), and usually end up regretting because it makes me think I saw a bug, and theres no way to confirm it (this happened with one of those magic guys in the pub at one point (I think it was when I was leaving for the wilderness), but because I couldn't go back and double check I didn't post it.

For my end game level, I was level 5, but i'm pretty sure everyone leveled up from it, so I was probably level 4 when i fought that bird. His attacks were brutal, but the girls recover ability was a lifesaver.In fact, that battle was the first time i had to use a revive herb (bad luck mainly, as the bird got his attack in before my heal went off).

I usually check the site from time to time (but not always), so I can test future versions for ya. If for some reason you can't get ahold of me though, I could always pm my msn.

Glad to see my feedback helped ya out!

Edit: The edit was to correct a minor typo.

The demon steps from the shadows...

Ahh another game infested bugs...my mortal enemies. Thou shall be vanquished by my skills!

At any rate, lately i've been in an rpg maker game mood, and thus, I put my testing skills to use. Note: if there isn't a number next to it, more than likely it's just some of my commentary, and not a bug.

1. I noticed when you are giving an option, skip intro was before watch intro. Personally I think watch intro should be the default option the game has selected, as it's more than likely has alot of the details of said game. Personal preference here, and it's just my opinion.

2. During the intro, one of the lines is: Dreams that fools dream. Shouldn't it be, Dreams that fool dreams? It's your call, and see my statement below as well regarding how I decided to go about my testing.

Not a bug, just a small statement before i continue. Despite my nitpickey nature when it comes to testing, I won't comment on your way of wording things, as it's sort of unique. For example: Snowe: I was just giving a thanks the kingdom is still here. I personally would of left the a out, but it still works. I'm going to try to refrain from commenting on these, but if my nitpickey ways show up. don't pay it too much mind.

On a side note, I do like the intro.

Hate to post so soon but due to a game crashing bug, I will (I type up my findings in notepad first).

3. When you examine that shelf, I get an error: Unable to find Graphics/Pictures//dimmed.

Justworthy edit for more bugs (numbers won't be accurate due to the bugs above, and didn't expect to be editing this soon).

A blacksmith named marth...I wonder if hes an ancestor from the marth in FE.

1. in the armor shop, I go up stairs leading to the right, and I come out on the second floor...except the stairs displayed show it leading to the left. Not exactly how to word this, but hopefully ya get the idea.

2. In the item shop, joshua says: Sorry that we don't have enough for adventures. Shouldn't adventures be adventurers?

3. Someone could abuse your unlimited antidote spot. They could get 3, sell them, and repeat. Granted it would be slow, but throwing it out there.

4. Oh nice, I don't need a screenshot for this since the guy already posted this one of this room. If you examine the shelf in Melkino's screenshot, you can examine it from all sides, instead of just the front (the shelf is the one next to the grey oven).

5. Same place as melkinos screenshot again. If you examine the dishes, leave alone is cut off. I dusted them off twice :).

6. Ahh..don't ya just love my using melkinos screenshot to reference bugs? Thanks for saving me the trouble of taking one btw. It appears you can examine the bookshelf at the bottom from various angles other than the front as well. This can also be done with the jars, but the jars can be seen from various angles, so this one is justifiable...however, you can't see books when standing on the side of a bookshelf.

7. Melkinos screenshot yet again!...jking :). There is however a bug on the second floor of that same house. There is a supposed attempted list of item shop supplies, which can be examined from the normal angle...and the top angle. Now how could anyone read that list when there looking at it sideways...with a giant purple book in the way!

8. http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x131/demonlord5000/Youshallnotpass.png

I can't pass under those support beams from that location, and thus name this bug: you shall not pass! I didn't just steal that from lotr...don't worry. As they say...pics or it didn't happen!...oh wait I provided that :(

9. Several more examination bugs. I'm going to stop pointing out specific ones due to there being so many, but ill point out general areas. These are on the second floor of the inn. In fact, just assume theres some in every house, I've found so many I'm going to stop pointing these out.

10. http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x131/demonlord5000/standingonatree.png

Easily missed passability, but it doesn't escape my sight.

11. A shame...can't run around the castle in his night clothes, but that isn't the bug. You can't go under some of the areas of that upperhead beam in his room.

This is all for now, as I'm taking a break to do something else. Comments so far: loving all the spread out dialog on various objects, and the npc dialog. I think it is building up the game nicely. Don't feel too bad about all the small bugs I find, I'm a veteran at this :). I found a nice bit of goods in the town (including a spirit gem and a camoflaged snowman in the top left of town). It's not very easy to hide something from me.

Surprised this hasn't been posted on yet, but anyways, back on track!

12. While I was venturing around before going into the wilderness, I talked to mariland, and it says I received 1. When I looked into the menu I saw I had a loving potion (the bug is, the name wasn't listed when I received it).

Finally, the world map! Examining everything took 1 hour, 16 mins and 8 seconds. I just saved to check. At any rate, I like how ya did the world map. Time to go vanquish monsters with my fire spell.

It doesn't look like I'm going to be able to replicate this skill bug either. I've been experimenting with the kings mace, and only once has the skill lightning strike disappeared. I did nothing special to trigger it either...unless it was due to the fact I equipped/unequipped in town, but I highly doubt it.

13. When I beat the 3 spiders, he said pheww.

14. Mwahaha, skill bug...not even you can escape my grasp. I have successfully solved it! It happens when you click to unequip something, but change your mind and cancel it before you unequip.

Sweet, found a magic staff in a secret passage. I'm also curious if that area where you feel a draft has any use...but if it does i'm assuming its later in the game.

Heh, your even good at making bosses (just annihilated that bird), but it will take more than that to give me a game over. I can only wonder what type of superbosses you will make once this game is complete.

Finished the demo. There were various small glitches here and there (pointed out above naturally), but overall this game has alot of potential. The one flaw I say it has right now, is the overabundance of healing statues. Not only were regular enemies a breeze, but knowing i'd never run out of mp added on to that. The mapping, the one boss, and the everchanging world you had going on were nice touches, as well as the fact that exploring everything (including random logs out in the wild), paid off nicely. Keep up the good work!

Seems this is all for now...and all my edits turned this into a massive post!

My experience with the death bug is listed under the blog, but i'll post it here too. In my case, I got hit with sickle (caused instant death) while fighting a head hunter, and I revived xander during the same battle. The battle went on fine, but when I got outside the battle, he didn't gain exp, and in the menu he had the death portrait.

I've been kinda holding off on playing it further because I was almost through the slums, and I partly don't want to start all over, only to risk it happening again. Then again, I only got hit cause I was trying to steal from it, and prolonged the battle (didn't succeed sadly).

Also, I'll upload my save file, in case ya wish to examine it. I have one before it happened, (in town), and one from after it happened. I figure this might help ya track the elusive bug.

Save file link: http://www.sendspace.com/file/drps7s

Theres a save point out there for people who get stuck at that scene (I believe your talking about the storm one, which ive never experienced myself).

Edit: I just reread and I worded that badly. By save point, I meant saved file, that was taken directly after that error.
