Guild of Five Magics

AND now you make the final boss stronger???
How can you do this to me???


Well, how else could I make you guys pull your hair and gnash your teeth in frustration? :p

Seriously, the last boss only took me 3 tries to beat with a good team. So it's not too bad I don't think. Also there's so many possible teams in this game that maybe you'll come up with a team that will kick its butt super easily....theoretically.

Guild of Five Magics

@Armadi Thank you! Hope you are enjoying this game.

@ Hiromu656 and everyone. Just uploaded the update 0.92, it has a few minor fixes and game balance. Mainly, the Last Boss is now harder. It was somewhat too easy before. If you already downloaded just download the new ver and copy over your savefiles.

Red, Blue, Green, White, Black, to battle!

Go Go Mana Rangers!


No, that's in the next game. :p

Blacksword Chronicles

@llan14 Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the game. Looking forward to your review!

[Poll] Will you buy RPG Maker MV?

I'll probably get it during a Steam sale...that's always worked out. :D

How do you tackle making a game with any engine?

I usually use Evernote on an iPad. This way whenever I have an idea I can just jot it down really quick cause I carry my iPad everywhere.

Then when one of the ideas develops into something more substantial I will fill out and tag more Evernote entries on it such as characters, plot, gameplay, etc. I will eventually have to retype all of this into RPG Maker but I find it helps to have a place to look at all the text as it is really difficult to sift through dialogue boxes in RPG Maker.

When a game is getting serious, then I open a spreadsheet in Numbers. This is where I plug in battle formulas and basic numbers such as total enemies encountered, items gained, total expected gold, and other game balancing numbers.

Hope that helps.

Elements Questions

I would recommend against too many elements unless the elemental battle system is a centerpiece of your game.

The reason is it's simply too hard for a player like me to keep track of that many elements. In a case like this I'd probably just equip the stuff that gives me the highest stats and maybe change it up if I enter an area that really requires an element of a particular type.

Blacksword Chronicles

@shayoko Hahaha! Thank you for the very funny random thoughts!

Yes, I was going for the dark, silent, and sexy swordsman (+sword) here.
However, to people who haven't played yet, fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on your pov), although there is sexual tension, there are no actual sexual scenes in this game as this is a contest game for healthy kids. Besides, it's way too early for everyone to just jump in bed. It just wouldn't work.

As for the Irene paradox, well, the guards were...uh...taking a pee break when she was there...yeah...that's right! :p

I feel honored to get on your rare list and your recommendation.

Glad you enjoyed the game! And yes, sequels are planned.

Blacksword Chronicles

To help everyone who's stuck. Here are some solves. I've made the topics deliberately obscure to prevent spoiling it for those who haven't encountered the events.

Regarding the riddles:
The two books you need to pull in the Sorcerers' Library start with "Man" and "Fear". The books are arranged in alphabetical order starting from the top left so simply go through the books until you find books that start with these words.


Regarding the...bunch of green people:
If you are having trouble getting past the zombie horde scene, you can do two things to make it easier. One, find the Guardian Pendant within the Library and equip it. It will add Life points. Two, during the meditation phase before the zombies, pick the "Let me out." memory to get the Life up perk.


Regarding the Shards:
There are three Crystal Shards in the Gardens. One is by the water on the lower left. Another is on the lower right under a tree. You will have to go to the lower right section and then climb up a vine to get to it. The last one is by the waterfall that you see in one of the game screenshots.


Regarding the Mage:
If you are having trouble beating the mage, there are two things that you can do to make it easier. One, in the meditation phase in the Garden, pick the "As fast as..." memory to get the Speed perk. Two, the "double ranger boots" trick, where you buy and equip two sets of ranger boots from the merchant by the tavern. Both of these will drastically increase your reaction time.


Regarding fighting multiple enemies:
The trick to fighting multiple enemies is to "tie + hurt" by looking down each column. For example, you fight three enemies and one does hack, another does thrust, and the third does thrust. In this case, respond with thrust, you will tie and not get hurt from two while hurting one. If all three enemies does different moves, then use parry. If you need more time use the same speed tricks in the mage section.

Blacksword Chronicles

Thank you for playing!

Yes, the shards were designed to be difficult to find, glad you found them all!

Regarding the relic:

SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT! DON'T READ ON IF YOU DON'T NEED THIS INFO
With Jared, yes it is on purpose. You can still buy the necklace if you do not talk to Irene before Skip and Giles joins you, as the Jared scene will never happen. It is like a mini-side scene that is optional. However, it's really a cheap necklace that's not so good... :p


Regarding the ending:
SPOILER! ONLY LOOK AT THIS IF YOU'VE BEATEN THE GAME
There is only one ending for this game due to the 1 hour judging nature of the contest. Also, this is the first chapter of a much longer planned epic, so there is only one direction. However, the full epic is planned to have multiple endings. But that is for another time.
