[Full Game] The Cartographer "Unencrypted"

[Soupnazi]

Sorry to double post, but this won't be seen if I don't...
So anyway, I'm currently stuck.

Spoiler: My Problem

I just went over the bridge after being teleported off of the floating place, and it has broken. I went back and talked to the guy at the bridge, and my party said I should look for a boat in the town. Only, I've gone every where on the area across the bridge and have talked to everyone in the town, and nobody has said anything about a boat! So, what do I need to do?

Sorry for the bad description of my problem.
EDIT: Okay, I made it past that part, but now:

Spoiler

After getting the orc guy into my party, what do I do?

 

[FullMoon]

My question-what to do in this "floating place"
How I can leave?


ps.Game looks good this far

 

[Soupnazi]

Spoiler

In one of the buildings there are two colored orbs. If you get them both to a certain color, the game progresses. (It won't take long to find the right color.)

 

[FullMoon]

Ok.Thank you so much!

 

[Soupnazi]

No problem.

The game is awesome,but I have a problem.So I got the green guy to join my party and I don't know what to do next.I can't find this criminal guy anywhere,they won't let me go south,I can't fid anyone to fix the ship and I can't go into that tower on the left.All I found was a key and have no idea what to do with it.

 

[FullMoon]

Ok so I found this little village in the woods where green people live.
When I go to this stone "house" thing this "Black magic woman" says she needs help.
It feels I have been everywhere to find this help.
Maybe a little hint?

 

[Soupnazi]

Has anyone played this game all the way through that can give hints? Because the OP has gone inactive, and people are stuck!

Since I finished the game, I'll try to help...

Soupnazi: If I remember it correctly, you should try heading to the accessory shop in the town near the woods (the one with people talking about a freely roaming criminal). This accessory shop is closed until you get the orc I think...

sk8137: I presume here you crossed that bridge to the west already? since you already got the orc to join you.
Anyway, check my answer to Soupnazi. The key you talked about should be the mystic key, and there are some treasures you can get with this key in the underground "secret" tunnel (the one after the "bridge breaking" part ^_^).

FullMoon: arm... just head out of the woods to the east? you cant decipher those writings on the wall untill a certain part of the game...

Oh, and about the game, it started out real fun and stuff, but becomes a bit too serious for me as the plot unveils. I wanted it to continue being the mix between "funny" and "epic".
Also, some of the characters (well, actually, most of them) are way too shallow... even Reuben...
I thought the mapping was great, but I'm not that much of mapper myself ^_^

Cute game!

 

[Soupnazi]

THANK YOU!!!!!!!

 

[Soupnazi]

Okay, I just finished the game, and I think it was great! It did have some scrolling issues at the final bit, and I found the final bit extremely anti-climactic, as there was a lack of music to set the tone. As well as other places where music was strangely lacking. Aside from that and the frequent grammar errors, I found the game incredibly enjoyable.

Soupnazi, Yin, Fullmoon, sk8137: Wow, thx for taking the time to go through the game ^^
Sorry for not being around to answer your questions. I hope most of them were solved

Soupnazi: thx for helping fullmoon!
Yeah I agree with you about the ending, It could have been a lot better... and I hate that scrolling bug, don't know where the problem is to fix it XP

Yin: That idea about having Reuben commenting on the other Inn's is great, I should have used that x_x
And its great to hear you enjoyed the game, at least the part you played XD

Gonewind: Thx for answering Soupnazi, sk8137, Yin and Fullmoon's questions
I tried to make the game change is rhythm at the end, mainly cause the main character was Arcturus, who's story is more dramatic... probably wasn't such a good idea though X3


Well, in any case a sequel is being made so every piece of advice, comment and critique is taking in consideration in the making of The Cartographer 2 so thx to everyone who posted and left their thoughts

 

[Starwinderbeta]

Pretty fun game.

Where did you get that "Ride the Sea" song? The title BGM? I love it.
If there are more songs like this from the artist/group, I'd really like to check them out.

 

[Avadan]

Sure I took the theme from this site http://freeplaymusic.com/
It's a great site and there are tons of music and most of it( if not all)is really awesome... just be careful not to make your game in to a 900m file and 1 hr gameplay XD

 

[Soupnazi]

Well, luckily when I opened it in the editor and played that bit, it worked, although with some of the party members not showing up, so I got the full ending.
EEEK! A Cartographer 2! Awesome!

 

[FullMoon]

But what should I do next?
Nothing happens... :/
(I told in the 1 page what point in the game I am)

 

[gonewind]

FullMoon: Well, it's hard to understand what kind of hardship you are facing... basically:

a) Get out of the orcish village (through south entrance).
b) Head EAST and try to find the way out of the woods (the path is quite linear, so it should be easy).
c) You should be on the world map now, continue your quest and have fun.

If you are already on the world map, you should have quite a lot of things to do...

 

[FullMoon]

Actually that is the problem.(I alredy found world map)
I feel dumb but no matter who I talk or where I go-the story wont go on.
Maybe there is specific place I have to go.Or who I should talk to?
:/

 

[gonewind]

Did you cross the eadt bridge already?
It's supposed to break after you cross it.
If you did cross it, than I can understand your problem, it is a bit of a harsh part of the game. Basically, you should find a village, talk to everyone there. One girl should comment on an elf woman saving her or somthing around dome tree. There should be a visible big tree on the worldmap. Walk into it, you should be in another map now.
That's all.

 

[FullMoon]

But that was a long time ago.
:O

I have alredy done it(talk to the girl and find woman next to big tree).After that I went to some hidden pass in the mountains.
And well...after that I found this village filled with some "green people" who said that their village was destroyed by some human.
Then I went to that stone temple/hut thing.
After that I have no idea what to do.
