I was browsing the discord and found this, feels bad
*pic*
I suppose in a sense Lona is kinda complete, it has an ending where she leaves the island.
However, i don't feel like the game is 80% complete like Eccma said. There are so many loose ends on plot points.
Perhaps he means that he's implemented all the mechanics he wants and the rest is just implementing story so it's quicker hence 80% work done.
Or it could be that the game will just end with those loose ends for a sequel.
Probably that. I'm no dev but I'd imagine assets and systems occupy a good 60% of the workload for a game like this. With that in mind, the remaining 20% could easily mean doubling the count of quests, events and other smaller things.
Yeah, the game can't possible be considered done until you can bring all your friends, have some closure missions with the Rudesind family. Get closure on the whole gods argument deal, and some other stuff I can't think of right now.

I think that what people want is not a new game, but more missions and story in LonaRPG, which is already a finished game engine with pretty nice mechanics and awesome graphics.

Building smthng new is just another 10 years of silence. So, that would be a huge mistake. LonaRPG could be extended with mission packs indefinitely.
is it necessary to use a higher difficulty to return as a canvas child in case I die?
Any difficulty will suffice.

If it is for mechanics, by my point of view, I think he can do much more, like a "building system" like the raft, making a little house, make something like abomination section near pirate bane(the one with the fort destroyed) to "upgrade" some shitty holes by making missions.

If Eccma intends for making Cecily the new mayor, or open the chance, Lona can be some type of adviser, because she has the view of the commoners(as we see in the slave trade mission), and I am pretty sure that Cecily in some way relies on her.Being an adviser could have the consequences of the people, enviroment etc.

She could learn to craft weapons, not the best weapons, but little weapons made of wood for example, and upgrade system with the help of a forge master.

Something that my point of view lacks too, is a system of upgrades by masters of the combat. I mean Lona is a comonner, in some way she is not a perfect killing machine like soldiers that trains all day, or Cecily (a noble that was trained on the blade), she uses blades, shields, etc by pure instinct of survival.And using more quality weapons by perks or even learning magic by perks, is a bit..."strange".There are people where she could learn about magic, the way of the sword, defense, even using a bow or rifles.Cecily can train Lona a bit for example.

But I can agree with everyone about missions, plot holes etc and I will be sad if there is no more missions.

This is an opinion, not a review, I like the game like it is and is awesome, what Eccma do I will be fine with it.Just want to point that it can go even further if Eccma wants, and if it helps giving ideas, good.

Something I've been wondering: Is this game a one-person project?
Seems kinda unbelievable that Eccma did everything from modding the engine, to drawing the art, to writing the lore, to composing the music. Not saying I don't believe it, just saying it kinda blows my mind

That's sad to hear, but to be honest Lona is a surprisingly complete experience. If he beefs up the quest contents and ties up some loose ends it'd be more than enough to call it finished, I also hope he fills up some of the areas of the map. I don't think things like Lona building a house or becoming a tyrant or an advisor are really within the scope of the game. Sometimes it's better to know when to call something finished than to drag on with it forever until you hate working on it.

after i kill the boar the green sign still on there
it a bug or I don't know how to finish the quest?
Pardon me if you feel insulted, but I watched people here, playing the game inside the archive .zip

But did you go to the chief village nude and talked to the woman?Because it is basic reasoning.

Maybe it is a new bug, where the chief village doesnt appear or doesnt accept the death of thegiant boar.

I know I am quite late to the whole 80% of the game being finished, but in my point of view, the game does seem quite completed. Despite the little bit of blocked land remaining, the overworld seems completed. The last few things I'd probably want are: More quests, maybe another ranged companion that has a quest/s related to them until you can hire them, and maybe some sort of alternate ending in which Noer can somehow contain or destroy the abominations.
Thanks for reading, and goodbye.

I think you have other problems. My phone is three times as powerful as this computer and lona runs fine on it. Sounds more like missing deps or drivers.
It has no graphics cards and runs out of ram pretty fast which is why it goes on BSOD. It happens with certain types of games but others that are similar run fine. For some reason on some RPGM games commonly make my FPS drop or lag when it's night time in game I just don't understand why specifically happens at that time.

How is there not an actual wiki to this game yet? Any other game would of had a wiki within the first few versions of it. No offense to zedted, his guide is super helpful and would definitely leave a lot of people lost without it, but there's gotta be a better way to find organized info for the game than running back here and scrolling down the long list of info. If the game is almost done as eccma claims then shouldnt it be time to for a wiki?

ZedTed Can you add in the "Add/Remove Trait" section, in the list of traits this : PreDeepOne = 53. Not sure if it'll allow you to get the true deep one form later on from the witch yet though
