RPGM Maids & Masters [v0.18] [The Mithril Hourglass]

[hreserves]

Ok, I've found the holding at the swam...now what? I've talked to everyone in the village and have no idea how to progress. Don't even know how to enter Fekhacht...

Like, I found the cat, cut the shrubs, donated the potion, helped bake the bread, escorted that one village to the abandoned estate, destroyed the headstone in the swamp for 36 stone (That I have NO idea how to use since they don't do anything when I interact with my estate statues or cracks or headstone or anything),Melissa keeps telling me to go find the hold I just slaughtered my way through, so I'm completely stuck

I tried talking with the statue guy in Cumhail, see if he was the one that had to do stuff with the stones but he just '...', talking to Viridius in his office does nothing since he just tells me to shoo, the guy asking me to get his mother's ring isn't helping get in the damn tower either

I guess I still need to work on player direction for that part of the game.

There are two Holds to clear. One north of the village you helped move, the other south of the village you did everything else at.
You can't do anything with the stone (yet) because your Maids will use it to fix your Estate's walls once you collect what you're owed from the other Hold.

Maybe you should do what other RPG makers do and add a Quest Tab in the Menu with points on what to do.

Thanks

If I could've, I would've. I couldn't find a plugin that worked, and no one else who made the same suggestion knew of one, either.

It's coming in the remaster, though.

Sooo, do I HAVE to lose to Archibald? I kinda managed a win and he just revived his maids

Do I have to pick Concende or should I try to keep fighting?

I got to the point of insulting him.

Turned off my game and waiting for answer just in case cause I REALLY don't wanna concede to him if I don't have to, and if I concede now to continue and then like hours later I'm told that I could have won but chose not to and I've already made a lot of progress from that point is...

Yeah, you have to. If you survive long enough, you get some bonus points with Lalita (and a bit more in the remaster if you make it to the final check) which makes getting the 'negotiation' ending for that part of the story easier. Once you've insulted him (following his "your persistence is utter madness" remark), you've gotten everything you can get.

I actually like this semi-hard RPG (teleport after quest, no obvious hints, must-read conversation).


I have only a few recap questions so spoiler alert.


1)Can I find a girl from amaira's attic? (when I already free her, why is she still an option in negotiation).

2)Is it possible to meet a governor maid from Clannestad? (i cleared the whole village and nowhere)

3)Can we bang mom(girl) in phoebe's shack in Cumhail? (or is it planned ?)

4)Is more bangable girls in villages like Adhauga (found only Cumhail and Ventíre girl)?

5)Is any quest in uncle mansion? I visited him before the first freeze and nothing. I can only look around the mansion.

6)Little rock puzzle in the lava cave is solvable for now or for future updates?

6)Before the second freeze, is still one room in the east wing free it's ok or do I miss some girl?
have (Jenny, Bianca, door girl, and Librarian recruited. Others like Alice, Lalitas 6, and Cat are story locked)

on the other side clap clap for little puzzles like fae behind hulk or Quinn recruiting (i literally wait 20 minutes and look on screen if she will speak before I get it (ou skip of course).

soo good job and thanks

First time I've heard of that happening. Thanks for letting me know! Fixed for the remaster.

If you can't get a save editor to fix the problem for you, feel free to send me a copy of the save and I'll fix it manually.

Hello when putting a quest tab in mz version
Please include tabs that shows main quest progression and separate for side quest progression
So that I can finish any side stuff without worrying about going into the main story

And a suggestion for the trophys

Instead of having a trophy room,why don't you include an achievements or a trophys tab in the menu?
Gameplay menu not the title menu

Unobtained trophys could be a bit blurred out or darkened

And all trophys including unobtained ones would have a description when you select them and how to get them maybe even what sort of scenes they unlock?

I think it would definitely be a quality of life inprovement for me

And one final suggestion

While I don't know how difficult this maybe to implement for the current maps
Please make the walking portions in the mansions or interiors smaller

I also absolutely love that you have interactability in everything you touch with the mc giving his thoughts.

My wish for future or even the remasters content is

- keeping the interactivty of objects
-reworking the trophy system
-implementimg a clear and no nonsense quest tab (some devs really like their mysterious quest descriptions but not for me)
-removing duplicate rooms and making the walking portions of map smaller while keeping the interactivity

( I understand that huge mansions and rooms are for showing the excess wealth and vanity masters have but from a gameplay perspective for me is a bit tedious
Expecially since we have to start over in the mz version )

Sorry if I repeated some stuff and my English is not good

Your English is just fine. Thanks for all the feedback!

Most of your suggestions I had pretty similar ideas for. If you haven't checked it out yet, the

also launched today (it's currently sitting in the queue for the F95 team to move it into the Games section). It should give you a good idea of how I plan to do things for the remaster, including a menu for trophies, a new trophy to replace the current trophy hint system (and make it accessible from the inventory at any time), a quest log (with separate categories for the main story, side quests, and character quests) and a couple other things to add menu options and clean up the inventory (and more, but I couldn't list every new feature right now if I tried).

As far as map size goes, I do understand that having huge maps for the sake of huge maps is bad, but like you acknowledge, there's a balance to be struck between size for the sake of opulence and making maps easy to traverse. I've learned a few lessons on that front (if you've been to the uncle's Estate before it was reworked, that was... really bad), so my goal now is less about shrinking maps down and more about making them feel full while keeping the size but without making travel tedious.

For the other bits - no need to worry. As much as I'm adding to and changing about the game, my creative vision hasn't changed. All the details - like being able to interact with basically everything - won't be going anywhere.

Have to ask how do you beat the Griselda's debates. So far I seem to keep messing up somewhere. so I'm not sure if I'm really winning any can any one post some correct paths in these.

It's built to be difficult to navigate. If you get close, it is possible to gain enough of an advantage during final negotiations to turn the tables, but that's not guaranteed to work. The general idea is that you want to withhold as much information as possible, as even the smallest thing can be used against you.

Though if you're sick of dealing with it, there's a post somewhere in the thread that details exactly which choices to make. I forget exactly where it is, but it's here somewhere.

Thanks and oh boy this might take a while to find that thanks.

Can I ask if there is a way to find and free download all the models (like buildings and ambients) for the honey select 2 / StudioNEOV2 editor to create images for games?

The best starting point that I'm aware of is

. As far as assets and all of that is concerned, there are lots of places to look, including other parts of F95.

It doesn't have a quest log because there isn't a functioning plugin for one in VX Ace. I'm currently porting the game over to MZ and remastering it, though, and part of that process adds a quest log.

As for finding an axe, the only point where that's required is repairing the love shack, which you "get" by having an Accord with Cumhaill (and you get the Accord by either completing all of their quests when recruiting Phoebe, or by trading wood and wolf pelts after Phoebe joins you). If you're asking about going into The Deep Wilds to chop down trees, it's gotten for you automatically, you can just start chopping down the branch-less trees.

There's a Save option in the main menu. You bring up the main menu with Num0, X, or Esc, select that option with the arrow keys, select your save slot, and hit Z or Enter.

Is there a way to navigate with the mouse instead of the keyboard?
