RPGM Abandoned Survival on Amazonia [v0.5] [Noxurtica]

[Noxurtica]

I see you used Finalbossblues's Time Fantasy pack, that's awesome! I love those sprites. ^^

However, there's too much contrast between your own sprites and the ones in the pack. Try paying attention to the amount of pixels shown in the original tileset, as they're not exactly 48x but a resized 16x.

Lemme take this screenie as an example . As you can see, the little hut in the middle looks slightly blurrier than the rest of the map, and that's because you're using single pixels instead of triple pixels like in the other sprites. This breaks your game ambientation entirely.

That's all I can say right now as I haven't tried the game. ^^'
I'll try to give you some more advice when I finish testing the game!

Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately, I'm not skilled at all in making pixel art, so it's the best I can do for now. We'll consider commissioning someone to fix it up, but it's not a priority at the moment.

I have full energy but can't do anything.Game thinks I don't have any.

Hm... that shouldn't happen. Can you explain where and when it happens? Does it start from the beginning of the game or later on, starting at a specific point?

If i throw three iron ore into the furnace to get one iron bar i don't see them in my inventory. When i have three iron bars and 25 wood to upgrade my house the game always tells me i don't have enough iron bars. The iron ore i used to melt in the furnace is gone tho.

Is that a bug or am i dumb?

Bug has been fixed and game has been re-uploaded. Thanks again for letting us know and sorry for the inconvenience.

As a Brazilian, this is very strange! I visit this site for 1 year, I see it for the first time. I believe that this game is a bit stereotypical of how Brazil is. I just wanted to say that, no, the Amazon is not Brazil, and only part of it. We have several different biomes and large cities around Brazil (especially in the Southeast and South).
Ah! BTW WE DO NOT SPEAK SPANISH, and only in Portuguese.

Noxurtica I was wondering if you could add the option to start a battle with a stance already active as long as you don't get ambushed. Since the stance doesn't consume a round it wouldn't be a problem with the combat balance and more of a convenient way to save time cuz picking the stances in every battle over and over again is kinda meh.^^

As an example the cat stance or the little dog stance are my favorite way to fight so it would be nice to have them active the moment i enter a normal fight. Story related fights or ambushes are ok to not have the stance already active.

Edit: Found a few more bugs:

After upgrading the hut to a wooden house i get a black screen after i went to sleep. I can still walk around, enter or leave the house or open my menu but the screen remains black no matter how long i wait or what i do.

After i talked to the fairy who blocks a passage in the cave with the many resources (going left from the screen where the hero's clothes got burned) i'm unable to enter the cave after i told the fairy that i will take care of the monster.

It happened a few days in.I had no energy and I tried to collect stuff just to see what would happen. I managed to collect a few things before the game stopped me by telling me that I'm tired.I rested and ate and on the next day still couldn't do anything. Rested again for a second time and still the same problem.

Good suggestion, made stances permanent until you activate "no stance" or change stances.

Fixed the bugs and re-uploaded. Thanks for letting us know! Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yes, we fixed the bug and re-uploaded. Thanks for letting us know and sorry for the inconvenience.

I think I know what happened. It should be fixed in the re-uploaded version. Try it out. Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for letting us know about the bug!

Sadly i still have the black screen after i went to sleep in the wooden house but i can enter the cave with the fairy next to it now. If you want to check you can use my save file.

All right, it should be fixed now... Sorry about this. We'll test it more thoroughly for the next update.

Thank you. Yes you should invest more time for testing new builds either by doing it yourself or asking around if someone is willing to help you with that. I understand that bugs (small and big ones) are part of the wip of every dev but it should always be the goal to keep them manageable. But i'm sure you already know that.^^

Noxurtica Alright, i think i cleared the current build now. Here is my opinion:

The good:

1. Lucinda is a very nice addition for the women. I'm in mad love with different skin colors and cuz she's an half-orc she looks very stunning. Very nice to have her and i'm looking forward to see more of her.
2. The Dryad looks very beautiful and sexy. Can't wait to see more of her in the future but i think she will only be a side character which is fine.
3. The new areas, NPCs and enemies are interesting and fit into the environment.
4. I love how you display the orcs. Most devs either create them as dumb and brutish and others make them super smart like some smug elves who know everything while being a muscle mountain.^^ Keeping them in the middle adds a nice atmosphere about believable characters.
5. While it's nothing new to this build i love the two arguing guys in the party. They are meant to be annoying and yet they kinda remind me about Fred and George from Harry Potter minus the gay relationship.

The bad:

1. The Dryad den needs a little fix. The ground looks just like ordinary gras and only the very narrow paths give a small hint that something is wrong here. I assume it's supposed to be poisonous swamp or there are thorns you can't see but there's need of either someone from the players party gives a hint or make the gras look different. I'm always a fan of not getting babysitted through a game and yet there should be some context to why the floor harms you.
2. The wooden houses in the orc village either have no hit boxes at all or only at a few points. This also goes for other objects like torches. The merchant who stands close to one of the wooden houses also has half his sprite blocked by the house sprite. This happens to all NPCs who can move or the player if they come too close to the houses.
3. The chieftains tent can't be searched for items. The marker is there but you can't interact with it.

Question:

I have looked through the picture files (out of curiosity and to make sure i didn't missed something) and there are png files named dryad, dyrad0, dyrad1a, dryad1b, lucinda and lucinda0 who can't be opened at all. I assume those are just idle standing pictures when you talk to both of them (they are getting displayed correctly in the game so i wonder why i can't open them in the picture folder like everything else) but i wonder if i missed some content.

Especially if i talk to Lucinda at night and she asks me to share a bed, i agree and this dialogue can be repeated but i can't have the goodies. Is that unfinished content or a bug?


Very nice work so far, please don't lose your passion and standards. =3

I'm having fun with this game and like it BUT it's buggy as hell:
Bug 1: When making iron bars it says i made them but i can't craft the anvil and they're not in my inventory
Bug 2: When i killed pumpkin head his head didn't drop i had to go back and not fight him to avoid this
Bug 3: In the cave where the fairy is blocking the entrance to the monster i can't enter.

Thanks for the feedback! We'll make the dryad's den more intuitive. The orc camp bug will be fixed, too. Thanks for letting us know. You've been a huge help in finding bugs. Would you be interested in being a beta tester in the future? Some art/scenes haven't been added yet, like the new orc girl, it's going to take time for the art commission to finish. The next version, we'll likely add a scene or two for her.

Bug 1 & 3 have been fixed, you have to download the re-uploaded version.
Bug 2: Didn't know this. Thanks for letting us know. We'll fix it for the next update.

Hm, i don't think i have it in me to be of much help with testing. I helped a few devs in the past but i was never very satisfied with my own performance. It's like a rollercoaster with ups and downs all the time so i fear it won't be much help but thanks for the offer. I can help a little from time to time by doing a small review here cuz i feel comfy with that when i can't cause much damage/annoyance.^^

 

[Eminba]

Can't fight the bird enemy.When the battle starts the enemy picture is not there and the battle immediately ends.Not a major problem, just pointing it out. Also, happened once with the yellow raptor.

No problem. Hope you'll stop by again and give feedback!
