RPGM General Rowenne [v1.0 Fix] [RowenneTheGreatG]

[RowenneTheGreatG]

Out of curiosity, why did you choose RPGMaker over Ren’Py? I always wonder about that. I actually drafted a Ren’Py blueprint for a game similar in setting and tone to yours (and Queen in Defiance, love that one).

Not everyone has patience with Ren'Py code. I'm tired of hearing this type of comment about my games.
If they knew how to create in Ren'Py, of course, the game would be made in this program.

I personally have experience with both (although, as you can see, only as an amateur).
However, Ren'py is more popular with the public, more modern, and relatively less complicated when learning the basics...
As cons, it can' give the deep impressions that rpg can do. Example: you can't move your char and walk around.

Rpgm is basically an editor that can let you do almost everything if you have imagination.
But it also have lot of cons: first of all is full of bugs, you can do all right, but somethime it clash itself and you can't have a single idea of how to go trought... As example, this maid_bug had no way or reason to appear at the beginning of the game..
But it happened... Also rpg have lots of restrictions about compatibility... Just consider that a lot of people still crash on videos and others no...

They both have pro and cons, it will be your choice knowing them.

BTW I turned ALL of the audio volume down. Then I started the intro and it surprised me with sound. I don't like it when I use controls that were offered and the program is NOT controlled by said controls.
Thus I suggest that ingame videos are silenced as well, when the controls were used that way.

Thank you very much for the report!
The maid was introduced as part of the late game, and only limited at Viola's Villa after a quest (as a job).
But the bug put her with you from the start... Sorry.

Orbuss that not heal is normal I make him this way ( if you have a helper, you have to take full responsability [joking]).
Talking about the video issues, it really seems that the MOD I just introduced isn't working...
This issue go on from the start of the game, sadly around a third of ppls who play have the same problem (I still don't know why).
I'm thinking to remake all the videos without sound for the next update.
But it is a looooot of work and there is no guarantee that it will work.
Anyway, thank you again!

Unfortunately, I have no idea how to fix it either. I've never played anything with RPG Maker^^ I only played before, when there were a lot of great projects like Vampires Dawn and more, and in the end, it remained a demo XD. If necessary, ask around, someone who knows how to fix it^^

I have the lever for the teleportation circle - I take it that's the end of the main quest for this update? Other than that, I've walked around looking for triggers and found quite a few, but there doesn't seem to be a way to know if I've found them all. I walk around until I don't see anything new, go home and sleep then do it again...wish there was a list of what all may be available...

 

[RowenneTheGreatG]

Well. I think it is like almost all the games, when you reach the end of the update, you look around.
The main story (for now) end with the lever repaired, but I still added things around, you can find them in the changelog.
Last part was Viola's house.

 

[Hoboy]

Thanks - got the mansion...PS - was weird when I started the update yesterday and had the maid in the party, but restarted my save at the tailor's and running up to the spot to remove the maid from the party got through all the rest (I believe). I think I'm waiting now for the next update. Good job with the dancing, tailor and pee shack...

 

[TritonSands]

Tried the compressed version and it was enough to make come back and get the regular version.. Did notice a scene in the pub sometimes took 30 seconds to minute before scene would continue with each click.. Gotta say General Rowenne is very sexy!

To be honest, I don't remember if jpeg is supported, but anyway "infarview" you can still let drop the size of the PNG pictures as you like (you only have to settle a good ratio between size-quality).
I'll do it next time (because you reminded me).
I have other project with other names in renpy, but a rempy game is tedious to write and in any case is really hard to give it the deepness and articulations like quest over quest that you can do in rpg.
I have to admit that my proficiency in paython is limited in Visual Novels, so maybe my thinking is wrong.
"Queen in defiance" is a miliar stone for his genre, sadly it seems the developer had some eye's problems and it almost stopped the releases.
To tell you all the truth, inspirated by it, I'm working on my spare time on a project with handmade images (something more easy going than "Queen"). Just a TSF try with a new name (hope around christmas).

Actually, you can do quests in Renpy!
It just depends on how much time you’re willing to spend coding them. I mean, I’ve got an in game walkthrough system, and a quest manager is basically the same idea. Just a bunch of True/False states to track completion.

I use a ton of default statements, close to 500 at this point, since every scene and quest has at least one or two. So yeah, it’s definitely doable, but it takes patience (and coffee... lots of coffee ☕).

That said, I totally get what you mean about RPGMaker, the freedom to walk around really adds depth and helps players feel more immersed in the world you’ve built.

My own goal is to bridge those two styles: not just a standard “image, image, choice, image” visual novel, but more of a semi–open-world experience. Kind of like RPGM, but built in Reny.

I love to hear more about the new project you’re working on especially the handmade art one. Sounds really intriguing!

Nothing impressive, images are something very easygoing, to differentiate from ia.
I was thinking of doing it like "Naughtyville.." with a definite story every day.
But in this way it will be pratically a kinetic novel, so I want to give a little bit of real choices sometime.

The quest will not be closed until the end of the game.
But if you are asking forthe starting point, Golgasj.

Then you are near the end of the content: trasversal quests -dungeon lev 2 in karsis-Karsis Inn to start ViolaVilla access-.
I remind you that if you lose too much reputation with the military (lesser than 14) 2 new event will appear (camp/Karsis).

If you download the fixed version, you can still use your saves going on the main map and clicking on the round circle (drop all your team).
But you have to download again the game sorry.
Be sure that's the fixed one.

I am having the same issue, and don't know circle you are talking about. If you could clarify please?
P.S. I guess I don't have the fix.
