RPGM The Unfinished Journey [v0.1.4e] [Okonwame]

[okonwame]

How to gain exp? Winning battles doesn't increase it, having sex doesn't increase it.. only some invisible stat called "Affinity".

In this game, characters don’t level up in the traditional way. Like in Fear & Hunger, progression comes from items, choices, and affinity rather than EXP. This is intentional, to keep the focus on survival and decision-making.

In upcoming updates, missions will grant special abilities to further expand progression. Not all planned enemies have been implemented yet, which is why the combat system may feel incomplete for now. As the project grows, these features will be added to make the experience deeper and more challenging

That’s the general vision for the game, but gameplay may be adjusted based on the feedback gathered through the Discord surveys. I want to make sure the project evolves with the community’s input.

It just feels useless to have battles, which is pretty hard in the beginning, and not get any exp from it, while Status clearly show a leveling up system/intention.
The Affinity status can't be seen so players have absolutely zero idea of how high or low it is, unless they have photographic memory on each point they gain from each NPC..
Some early missions are badly bugged..
Rescue woman from bandit leader.. fair enough it can be repeated for 49-50 gold until you can afford armor and weapons that can actually defeat him, which takes hours btw.. but after you defeat him, you have to battle him again, with the woman in party and ods are the bandit kills her, however she can still talk and walk but mission won't complete.
I managed with saving before battle and redo, redo, redo and redo until she was not killed (had to feed her potions when she got hit) then her dad paid for her return by a larger than 50 gold reward.
That battle repeats btw, every time ya come close to her, or the bandit leader, which at that point shows to be defeated on the ground?

Erydis, saved her, but she remains in party.. got mission from Sibrenne to got to the forrest for some flower.. and what ya know... now ya can rescue Erydis once more even as she is in the party..

Oh and when making fish soup, you get vegtable soup.. which doesn't recover much health/hunger

That's as far as I've come so far..

Thanks for your feedback. Even if it may look like there isn’t much to do yet, missions often have variations that can cause unexpected bugs. What I really need is for players like you to let me know when these issues happen. I’m sorry if your experience was affected, but rest assured I’ll work on fixing it.
