Was I really gone for that long? It seems I turned my head for a few seconds and all of a sudden there's even more content than before. Thanks for being this consistent!
You have to exit the game, click yes and meet Mary again, repeat this until she gets sick of you and says “I will hide in this game”. Then you can find her in the churchAlso I tried doing the steps to talk to Mary but she doesn't appear. I hit yes, pressed the right answer and found the church but nothing.
Hi!Fighting Mary is not a bad idea. But to be honest I am a little disappointed; 2 weeks of waiting and all we get is just a single fight. I will assume you are still working on the ideas I gave you?
There are still a number of things which need adjustments:
- First, the dialogue and animations when we start fighting Mary. It is nice to see it the first time, but can you make it so the skip option also skips the animations? It is a waste of time when we are forced to watch it every time we train with Mary.
- Mary has a huge shield... which she does not use? She does not block with the shield, and we can still hit her anywhere we want. What’s the point? I think you can remove the shield if it is just decoration. Maybe Mary will look better without it.
- Mary has a lot of health, and a lot tougher than the Slime. It makes sense, because she is supposed to be more difficult. But I think she might have too much HP. Fighting Mary takes a long time (unskippable animation before the fight makes it take even more time), and only gives 177 EXP for each fight. The Slime gives just 50 EXP, but each fight is a lot faster. This means training with Mary is not worth it unless you want to see Mary’s H-animations, as training with the Slime is faster and more efficient.
- As for the battle... I think you the TP meter is too problematic. There are many actions which require TP, and those actions consume a lot of TP so we run out of TP a lot. If we run out of TP in one fight, we have no way to fill it up except by entering another fight. This is bothersome and restrictive; I think you should make it so each time we start a fight, our TP starts full. It would also be helpful if each time we take damage, we also get more TP (except when the enemy’s attack damage your TP).
- I did not notice this before when I countered the Slime’s kick, but the counter scene which leads to H-scene actually consumes 50% TP? This is bad game design. The game never gives instruction we can counter enemies, the “Click to Counter” shows up randomly and suddenly in a fight. And unless the player has 50% TP, even if we click to counter, it will fail and most players won’t know what makes us fail, most will assume we don’t click fast enough. In other words, it is deceptive and misleading. Since it appears randomly and suddenly, I think it should not cost TP at all or just AP.
Please do not misunderstand my points, I still appreciate the update. I hope you will have time to work on these.
Hey! Thanks!Hey hey! This is quite the interesting game! Looking forward to more content being added!
I'm just wondering if you'll add pregnancy as an option sooner or later?
How do I do any of the entry events I cannot find themGreat, thank you for the response. I didn't get any scenes with the slime, so that's that, but it's still good to know where the current game is at. I can at least stop trying to find H scenes now that I know there aren't many, yet. Still, I really enjoy the premise and I love the characters so far, so I'm looking forward to more.
I can't find any of the entity events how do I completeOk, for what exactly?
You can put "yes" instead of "+18" before the beginning of the game if you want to have access to entity eventsHow do I do any of the entry events I cannot find them
Don't misunderstand my critics as impatience. This game is still early. I am not so stupid so at to scold you for taking your time with adding something complicated like a new fight. Thanks for listening!Hi!
I understand your criticism, it's constructive, I've already been told elsewhere that it would be better to be able to skip the introduction of Mary's fight, so I'll add this next update.
Regarding what you said about the fact that I only added one enemy in 2 week, I would like to point out that there are a lot of animations to do to make a fight, and, as the battery of my laptop drains suite quickly, it is unthinkable with my current means to make several opponents in one or to weeks.
Regarding the counter, it's true that I made it so that it removes TP when you manage to perform it, but it's something sudden, and not to break the rhythm, I haven't put a pause to say the cost of the technique, I think you're right though, clicking at the right time and having 1 AP are surely sufficient conditions, especially since this attack doesn't end the fight, so it's not so important.
Regarding Mary's HP, I wanted her to be able to endure many attacks, this will be useful when she teaches us techniques, because she shouldn't be one shot, otherwise, she doesn't give so much exp compared to her level because it's just a training, there is no Gameover, however, there is no Gameover either with the slime when this one has affection for you, so I have to think about this.
Otherwise, since I plan to give Mary other techniques, her shield coule be useful, by the way, speaking of new techniques, the holy chokehold could do a serious loss of consciousness if done for too long, I was planning to use this opportunity to introduce the CPR, to then use it in other situations, like what you suggested with the slime
I'm going to make Mary give 277 exp, I think that's better.Don't misunderstand my critics as impatience. This game is still early. I am not so stupid so at to scold you for taking your time with adding something complicated like a new fight. Thanks for listening!
I didn't mean to say Mary has too much HP. I meant to say Mary gives relatively few EXP, compared to how much HP she has compared to the Slime, and she takes a lot longer to beat. It makes training against Mary not worth the effort.
Also, new techniques, eh? Holy Chokehold? Is Mary our goddess some sort of kinky pervert? I thought she is a goddess with some dignity. (This is sarcasm. I find it amusing.) You plan to test CPR idea with this. Good idea.
Though I still think Mary doesn’t need a shield. In the future, Mary and the Bug Fixer will have a rematch, right? We cannot get a cool scene where Mary and Bug Fixer have their weapons collide, trying to overpower each other, if Mary wields her sword with only one hand. Everyone knows using a sword and a shield are for knights, Mary is a goddess.
During this week, I plan to do some things besides the development of my game, I'm preparing a video trailer, so I can also make a guide.To make this game playable it needs basic things.
1. Quest/Event Tracker with clues (like Mary it's impossible to find her without going to read it on a website dumb should never have to leave game to get hints)
2. Game level not everyone is good at puzzle games so give levels of difficulty Easy, Normal, Hard and always provide a skip option after attempting to many times. Nothing ruins a good game but an impossible puzzle for some that are not good with them.
3. If there is a damn story start providing clues early on.
So far from change log no tracker has been implemented so still not even going to take a look yet until I know that there is no absurd impossible to find characters like Mary.
