J, the sprite you made for me was exactly what I wanted, so don't give me that "my spriting is mediocre" crap. :P

I'm definitely going to have to try this game.
 
Great game, I got beat by the guards in the forest but will give it another shot later.

1st would like to say your soundtracks are great, I have them all & SoS is my fave but I enjoy all your work.

2nd a bit of a request. I didnt get to far in the game but I really liked your monster charsets ( the alligator & mushroom ) & was wondering if those were originals by you & if u were willing to share them as monster charas are hard to come by....if not original, where'd you get them? I use Minkoffs CBS & use charasets as heroes & enemies & any monster/enemy charas u may have would help a great deal.

Giving it another shot, I didnt level up much in the forest & hadnt saved inawhile : /. Thanks again for the soundtracks & AoVBR.
 
Ive been looking all over for good enemy charas & never thought of looking in the rtp. lol I feel like an idiot but thanks
 
This is kinda funny, because I was about to report this like "Umm why is my project stickied." Thanks for selecting me. ^_^ I get Febuary the shortest month of the year! Huzzah!

Anyway it's an honor, Alastyr.

Congrats Jstreet! I just started playing Absence of Vagaries last week, and I've been enjoying it!

Congratulations Jstreet, its good to see that this well crafted game finally got a position it deserves. ^_^
 
err i found a glitch... its on the map with the 3 gaurds in the forest, on the map before it, i went on the left side of the path leading into it, and as the events unfolded in the next map, one of the guys walks down and the other one walks into him, then after i battled the 3 gaurds i couldnt move...

How do i post a picture??

yer just had to change what co-ordinates they go to wen they go into the map

lol also, shy berries dont replenish magic with faelle

i also found alot of other glitches but i dont wanna seem fussy
 
matmicash - use the edit button when you have more things to say if you are the last post. And I'm sure if you sent J-Street a PM containing all the bugs you have spotted that would be helpful if anything to him as opposed to fussy.
 
I FOUND A MISTAKE

When you have access to the the VOID, you can go back to Benedict Town and play the Ship Attack scene over again. Might want to fix that...



Heheheh... Just wait til MY game's done........ XD
 
Not bad. I was just playing it and i enjoyed it alot. There are some things that need work but now with all of the feedback people are giving you when you work on it it should come out alot better. I will be waiting to play the final version of the game.
 
During that conversation at the beginning between the main character and his general, I'd suggest some music in the background.

The stamina system is friggin' cool :)

The three guards in the room where you meet the two jerks at the beginning don't say anything. Even a "... I'm busy" or such would help ^_^

The having to hit "C" to open doors is kind of annoying, but that's just me.

After the bandit attack. the door in the central room with the single guard standing next to it should have a text message saying "It's locked" or something similar.

A tone to indicate a level up would be nice, as well as what your "upgrades" were upon level up.

Another "just me" thing, but Faalene should be given the Lucky Coin skill when you get her :P

Wouldn't the bandits obey Faalene in Matriarch forest if she's their leader?

GREAT job of mapping Matriarch Forest ^_^ Also, those chests were SO badly needed, kudos for the excellent placement :)

A better placement of the "crafting explanation" would work nicely in the store in the town.

An option to cancel the boat trip to go and collect supplies would be nice.

Overall, a very nice game :) I should've taken some time to hunt and level up, because I died once I got to the ice place (those wolves and harpies were just too strong) But I really didn't do all that much grinding.

Storyline is definitely good, only some minor issues with walking around in towns and such. Things like switching between maps, and the certain flowers not being able to be walked on was kind of annoying, but no big problems.

Only a few typos in the game.

7.5/10 up to the ice country ^_^
 
I hate to double post, but... I'm so lost! I can't do any of the sidequests past Matriarch Forest :( I don't know where the letter is, I don't know how to get into the sewer. I even looked at the maps and events and don't know what the heck I'm supposed to do. -_- Help?
 
You need Nowitall's letter from Matriarch Forest in order to do the sidequests. Only then can you go to the sewer and so on. Try searching the forest. There there should be a one map with river, and some sparkles.
 
There is another side quest in Benedict as well.
There's a house where a noble needs to have a ruby refined by the jeweler. If you do this mission there's a 2,000 cur reward. You said you were having money troubles, so I hope that helps a little.

Also, it's best to gain a little level in the forest, before going to the leave for Ottrwey. The monsters there are incredibly powerful, and should be avoided if possible until you get some better weapons.

You'll find that Faelle will be your greatest weapon once she develops her different star techniques. So, you'll want to level her up at least until she gets (Terra Star I think) and you'll want to keep supply kits.
