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.
Canvas
A Zeldaish RPG filled with puzzles and secrets. (unencrypted w/ full walkthrough included)

@dennis - Thanks for the report. That bug was first brought to my attention about a week ago, and I have since fixed it and updated the download link. If you want to fight worry free there you should download the current version and carry your save files over. Thanks for playing.

@littlebro - Congratulations on beating Manifest! Thanks for your feedback and kind words, I'm thrilled to hear you enjoyed it. I can't remember if I've ever been thanked for the work I put in on the game...I really appreciate that =).

If you're interested in sharing it with friends, I've created a Manifest facebook page to make it easier to do so. Thanks again for playing.

Surprisingly, yes. I usually think of cakes like that as being all flash and no substance, but this one looked and tasted great. It was caramel toffee crunch cake on the inside.

Yes, all of those pieces you see make up the cake (the map, the books, the chest, the small relic)...all edible.

@demonlord5000 - Didn't see your last edit. Congratulations on beating Manifest. Once again, thank you for the frequent and thorough feedback, and your closing compliments made my day. That was very high praise coming from an rpg veteran and I really appreciate it.

Tell your friends. =)

@shiningriver - I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean there's lag? If so, that's a computer issue...it runs smoothly on even a medium-powered machine.

@littlebro - Answers below

For the chest in Noor, there is a dog wandering around town...look at its collar.
You'll need a clue to open the one at the festival in Faergrad, but to get the clue you'll have to score at least 28 in Orz-Whack.

To complete "You don't make friends with salad" head to the zone in the Taebris with the square grid of lilypads that sink or rise when you land on adjacent ones. There is a path in the upper left corner of that screen that will lead to a hole. Investigate it and you'll find what you're looking for =).


Have fun.

Manifest

@demonlord5000 - I hope you enjoy, and thanks again for leaving such specific feedback. You've been extremely helpful in tracking down some of the last (hopefully) bugs/brain farts.

Manifest

Congrats on finding all the relics, that's great!

Thanks for mentioning the bugs...the skeleton archer bug was brought to my attention a few days ago, I forgot to mention it, but the current download available on this site has it fixed. I'd recommend anyone who downloaded the game before 12/22/11 to download the current version and carry your save files over.

@demonlord5000 - I thought you might not breeze through them all =), but I had faith in you. Nice job.

@littlebro - Thanks for the heads-up about the item list. I'll put my response about the metal chests in a spoiler

The first time you get directions for one is in Noor (small desert town), and there is a clue directly in the vicinity. Look for a five-letter word. If you need a more specific answer for that one, I can give you one.

Most of the others don't have explicit clues, you'll need to think about what might be relevant to the characters/story in the area you found the chest. Each one is a five-letter word significant to where it is located, or who it is owned by. If you need further hints, let me know.

I'm not sure if you have reached Faergrad yet, but there is an explicit clue for that one that you can earn.

@littlebro and Blakwind - My pleasure, if you have any other questions just let me know. My goal is to help make your playthrough as enjoyable as possible.
