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.

Yes, the problem solved itself when I got to the other side. Now I'm on the mountain pass (I'm at level 30 and I feel not overtrained, but breezing through the enemies). This side of the game is the one which had the greater number of freezes. My computer never had problems with VX games but this seem to be the heaviest... anyway: I will bear it, because I'm defintely loving the game although I have to wait 3 seconds for a step in certain areas :D


The computer requirements shouldn't be too heavy, it sounds like an individual computer issue. I'm assuming this based on the performance on every other computer I've seen it run on, and most machines were pretty average...but it ran fine. Are you running it full screen? Is there an antivirus program running in the background? Anything else that might be tying up the processor?

@lucidrose - Thanks for the feedback and compliments. I love that you're enjoying the lock picking. As far as the ring goes, I'm not sure why it wouldn't be working for you...never heard of that happening before. Look for a blue pop number right after the character takes an action. If the character goes out to attack, the pop number will appear in the spot where the character was/left from. That is by design that Trux only has those abilities. If you haven't used him in a while, try him out and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Just make sure you have his gear updated to match the others.

@Superes - I could have sworn I fixed that problem, as someone had mentioned it a while back. But sure enough, I checked and I must not have saved the change. I've now officially fixed it. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. You can either reload as lucidrose mentioned, or it will fix itself as soon as you get back to the dark room and then exit it on either side. Thanks for playing, and I look forward to hearing back from you again.

It's exciting to hear that both of you have gotten so far.

The download is a .rar file. You'll need to download "winrar" to unzip the folder and play the game. It's a small free (trial that is) download, much like winzip (it works for .zip files too). It's a handy program to have for more than just rpg maker games though. There's 2 different versions, one for a 32-bit windows operating system, and one for a 64-bit operating system. If you don't know which one you have, just download either and try it...it will let you know that it won't work if you guess wrong, and then you can get the other one. It may sound like a hassle, but it won't take long at all, just google it...and I like to think you'll find it totally worth it when you're hopelessly and blissfully immersed in the world of Manifest =).

@Peaceful_Chaos - Excellent! Hope you enjoy, and I look forward to hearing some of your impressions.

Manifest

@littlebro - Thanks for helping out with those questions.

@clary - I still can't figure out how you got up there in the first place. It seems impossible to me, unless something went wrong during your download or unzip phase.

@BareGamer - Did you beat it?

Thanks, that's high praise coming from you. I've admired your maps for quite some time.

Manifest

The game has 2 different ways to download...a direct download hosted on this site (main download which was at 485) and a link that leads to a file hosting site (accounting for the difference). The two combine to make the 548 that you saw.

Manifest Review

I didn't mean to come off sounding like I took personal offense to it, I'm sorry if it seemed that way. What I meant was that it saddened me because, in my opinion, you didn't get the full experience. It just means you'll have to play it again someday.

@Deckiller - Thank you for playing Manifest and for taking the time to give feedback. It was by design that tonics are so expensive (relatively) in the beginning of the game. There are enough of them in chests to keep you going and let you use 1 or 2 comfortably for boss battles in the early game. I like the idea of focus use (partly for story's sake) being fairly limited at first. I'm also pretty happy with the overall difficulty of battles and bosses on normal...it sounds like you got unlucky with his combination/frequency of skills. Hope you're enjoying it, and I look forward to hearing from you again.

@littlebro - That's awesome! Glad you got to experience that side quest, as it is my favorite (and largest) in the game.
