SBETHUNE81'S PROFILE

I don't have a growth mindset...yet.

Hello! I'm the 6th-8th grade math and science teacher at a small K-8 school in the Sierras. I recently moved to Oakhurst, California, about 30 minutes outside of Yosemite, with my wife and 16 month old son. Before that, I worked as a 5th grade teacher in San Jose. I love designing and playing video games and cooperative board games. My favorite parts of RPG making are writing and eventing. When I'm not doing that, I like to run, bike, and play volleyball. There is never enough volleyball.

The Featured Game Thread

I recently signed up with game jolt, and I noticed they have a fairly quick turnaround on their featured games (every few days if I'm not mistaken). I thought it might be a good idea to find a balance between that and the full month feature of RMN...maybe 2 weeks like the classic/gem/etc. features.

My assumption is that the majority of the people who download and play the featured games do so in the first couple weeks of the feature, though this is probably more true of registered/active users.

I just figured shorter feature, more featured games. And I like to believe there are more than 12 games a year deserving of the honor. From browsing this thread it seems like there are usually a handful of suggestions each month, and as long as that continues, the level of quality would still be maintained. Thoughts?

Later this evening I can make and post a series of screenshots if you'd like. It would be no trouble.

Here you go...



The angle blocks are only locked in place in the fourth screenshot. In the first three, you can get the blocks back to a place where you can move them anywhere.

Good luck, and don't hesitate to ask any other questions that come up. I'm happy to help.

im in the first room D:

solved #1+3, tyvm!!


My pleasure. Here is some help for #2

There are 4 switches that need to be hit with the shooting orb. If I remember correctly they range from needing 1 angle block to all 4 to hit them. I would go in order ending with the one that needs all the angle blocks in position. The thing you will need to be careful of, is that if you move an angle block up against a wall, you won't be able to get it off the wall, so only move one there in the end if you need it to hit the "4" switch.


Good luck. Please let me know if you still can't get it.

hi,

1. there is a puzzle in mt. phoenix that i can't seem to solve. it has 5 red buttons, but only 2 rocks? the sign in the room says "make sure to put the boulders back where the rulwook can see them." not sure if that sign is a clue u_u

2. im stuck at another puzzle where i have to align 4 corners(kinda like pinball), but i cant seem to figure out the right position.

3. where is forgotten crpyt? i dont remember if i've been there or not since im doing some missed nayrin relic hunting.


thanks and great game!!

Hi Smiley,
Some help in the spoiler box below...


1. That signpost is a clue. Two of the boulders weren't put back where they were supposed to be, but you can find them hidden in that room.

2. For the pinball puzzle, are you in the first room or the second. Once I know that, I can help you further.

3. The forgotten crypt is in the far left middle section of the world map.



Thanks for playing! Let me know if you need anything else.

You were very thorough with the locations in your written description. This will help many players.

Faergrad

That's just good strategy =). I did the same thing when I ran through the game.

I'm impressed...all the bonus prizes from the games!

You will learn multi-target skills at some point. Thank you for the detailed feedback. I never mind long posts, especially when they are as flattering as yours =). Hope you continue to enjoy it.

I like this game, but I have a bug to report.

Whenever I load the game and I attempt to move, the game crashes. It doesn't happen if I wait a few seconds however.

EDIT: It only happens when you press F12.


Thanks for playing Manifest. The f12 reset function doesn't get along with one or more of the scripts I use and gives a stack error. Glad to hear you're enjoying the game though. I'd love to hear back from you again as you progress. Feel free to ask any questions as well.

Great fight against the Guardian. Very excited for Faergrad.
