This looks interesting, downloading.

What happened to your old game, btw? I think it was great aswell.

right-e-o.  i understand the multi-hit now.. but it wasn't really apparent how to use that, so perhaps a more detailed walk-thru of the combat system is in order as well as the effect of using a skill on a character vs. a tile... (i thot it was just a matter of aim or something) but it is like choosing between doing damage or adjusting the auro of the tile.

so i got thru the second fight on the second try with these strategies and once again am stuck ... (this is why i hate puzzles                      )             can't get the third chute open.  it doesn't use steam.  there is two switches for it on the north platform but neither seems to do anything, even temporarily.  once again, others have gotten further... so obviously im just not doing something right.

Spoiler: 3rd Chute

Did you try reading the note? You need someone to stand on the floor switch while you turn the normal switch. ie. You need to get two characters on the platform.

@wesley snipe's yugoslavian butler: Um, which one of my old games?

This is an amazing game! I love it!

And I must comment on the puzzles. Incredibly unique and fun to figure out. Can't wait for future episodes :D

Pretty fun stuff. It's rare to find a good project. I'll be waiting for the next update!

 

[SorcerGamble2]

thanks man i'll do that.  preciate the customer support :D

ya i read the note many many times... as well as the boiler room note too... but i still didn't get that i needed two people over there.

(EDIT)

I've come to the Darkness....  Good work tho bro, this is the best work i've seen with RMXP, no exageration.  Great puzzles/combat (though a few more hint and tips are needed with both 'cuz i couldn't have gotten through it without the spoilers).  I'll take tactical combat over the standard battle system every day of the week. 

Keep crank'in out the chapters !!! :D

Some side notes for you: The game crashes when you click the empty item menu in the TBS. Also in the intro, you spelled argument as "arguement" in the introduction. I'm really only 15 mins in so I'll play some more before giving structured feedback. But, overall, this game has some impressive tweaks from the traditional Rpg Maker game.

I have encountered some bugs:

~when i was doing the glass tile puzzle, i think it is a bit hard, so i exit the map.. when i got the bony staff and some aqua and root gel and then came back to the tile puzzle, i tried to step in the tile but it doesn't work..

i used kael to move the tiles when suddenly, the white tile moves passing the rocks and to the end of the screen!!! the tiles didn't notice the rocks there, so when i am controlling it, rayne couldn't step on the first green tile...

HELP ME!!

 

[Anaryu]

Thanks for the reports, I'll fix those misspelling and the error with leaving the room and coming back in.

EDIT: New version uploaded! I've implemented a lot of the suggestions and fixed all noted bugs (item menu crash and the problem with exit/entering the tile room.) Sped up the intro, added an automatic save-suggestion before the cave fight, made the target area for attacks more obvious, and more.

Thanks to everyone for the feedback!

 

[SoulReaperGod]

Nice game fro the scren shots i say your game is going to be the best game so far i guess and Anaryu nice job with the battle system i like it it's cool and awsome

 

[Sonata]

Holy shit. This makes me wish my PC was working. Great to see you guys working on this again.

 

[killeryunran]

I can only say: GREAT WORK! This game is really realy good. I am enjoying the puzzles a lot. And the fighting style is great. (Great work with the cursor. It looks really...well...as if it was from a pro!) One thing that bothered me was that you couldn't level. Oh! And the spear didn't give me extra power or something. Does it give you something extra?

But still what a great game

P.S. Can somebody help me? I am at the part where Kael Rayne and Andrea have to get over all the moving platform's. But you can only activate 2 of those switches. So Rayne is stuck behind(In my situation I first moved Kael and Andrea). Is there a way to get her across?

Please try spoiler tags in the future.

Spoiler: Tip

You only CAN use two to progress partway across, active the top and get one character on it, then activate the second with the person you leave at the switches, move the person onto those, then use the person at the switches to activate the third after you deactive the first row, you can then proceed to unlock the second boiler to get a bit more steam power. There's still some left at that point, but just keep at it and I'm sure you'll figure it out!

 

[killeryunran]

SOrry about that. And thanks  :smile:

So right after you get captured by the kobolds, it's the end? Because it's just a black screen and it does say Episode 2 End, but just making sure

Anyway, I love it, the mine puzzle is absolutely genius! I hope next episode will come quicker

Yep. When you save the game it should title itself Episode 2 End, but perhaps a quick graphic signifying that it is wouldn't hurt...

 

[dadevvtsvre]

There's a glitch with your title screen. When you press "Resume" without having a save there, it plays the sound effect, but the beach BGS doesn't come back on.

i thought that the battle system was cool and the chibis are cute...im playing it

Spoiler: Was the new chapter worth the 1 year wait?

The answer: no. But it was still a very solid chapter in the hopefully ongoing saga. I found the first fight of the second chapter to be real difficult. I barely got through it with just Kael alive. Those guys hit hard. The rope minigame also was very tricky. It took me a few tries to figure it out and already the game was asking if I wanted to throw in the towel. The game should know me better than that. Maybe you could just make it easier rather than asking people to skip it if they keep failing out. It was good enough though that I didn't mind doing it twice.

Now the real gold of this episode was the crystal mines. I found the mines puzzle to be real elaborate and well conceived. It was a lot to take in all at once though but as you make attempts and things start to click in your brain it all comes together. I think it clicked for me halfway when I realized that the steam couldn't be used up but rather was divided between the switches that were currently on. Once I figured that out the rest was just a matter of doing it.

The final battle also was fun in that it was sort of a mini puzzle. Even though it was pretty obvious from the start zombies kept getting in the way of the cart so I had to deliver a beat down to get the cart through. I actually found this to be the easiest battle so far in the game but I also used the time freeze option a lot more which helped.

But then it ended suddenly with a black screen of doom which was disappointing. I hope the wait for the next episode isn't quite as long.

I kinda need help on the halo puzzle with the glass and everything ughhh
but its a wonderful game loving it so far!
