*slams head* Wasn't expecting that from an RMXP game. Props.
You should give subtle hints although.
This COULD be a really great game if you toned down the difficulty. Eg: We can only save at certain places.. So why not make those save areas heal you? That right there would balance it out and people would battle the enemies instead of just running from them.

Okay I need 2 more firewoods and I saved at the point where I have 3HP... Seriously.

There is a healing box next to most save points (the ones near bosses, as when you enter a place you always begin fully healed). If you destroy it, you can find an item that heals you.
I'm sorry about the difficulty. I suppose, one reason it's harder is because you cannot use healing items yet. That should hopefully be fixed in the next release (along with the rest of the CMS). After that, I can have enemies drop more healing items to help the player.
For now, my only advice is to be careful. Once you find the last firewood, you'll be able to heal. Good luck.

Where do you get your facesets?I'd like them for my game...
This is a good game you've made here Regi, I like the new system it
gives more realism to battles (and no random encounters yay!).
But sadly Im not liking the fact I cant use healing items...
So I hope you have that fixed for the next demo.
I have found only one odd glitch I thought I should say something about,
When taking the shortcut down to the healer at the part behind the mountain,
I suddenly became traped and couldnt move at all, not sure what happen though...
I am up to collecting the four bits of firewood and have encountered no
other problems (other than not being able to progress because of lack of health...),
So overall good game so far will be looking forward to next update.

Kuidon, glad you enjoyed it. The ABS really is perfect for the puzzle-adventure genre in the game. I'm sorry about healing items not working now, I promise it'll be fixed for the next release. That should ease up the difficulty a bit.
And that shortcut glitch is new, I'll try and figure out the problem. Thanks.
-----------------
Sorry to say, I have some bad news. Almost a month ago, my computer crashed (RIP) and the hard drive files were lost, including the SC project data. Luckily, I had uploaded a backup file awhile earlier, but it's rather old and I'd prefer not to have to redo part of the chapter. Right now, I'm waiting for my brother, who might be able to recover the files. But whether or not he succeeds, I'll be able to resume work on the game soon.
I'll put a few progress screenies up once I get the files back, but it may be awhile until I finish the entire next pack (I'm releasing another 3 chapters at once, so it might be a few months into '09 before I finish). Hope you guys can wait awhile longer!

This Game is just fantastic!
No offence to others but I prefere this to lots of other ones i have tried and I will stick to this one but there is one thing which is bugging me...
How do you change your item so you can use those recovery potions... I have a save before the boss... WITH 1HP! :S
... i can do the river easy! but when i get to the boss.. im just running around constantly trying not to get hit :S
how do you heal yourself? i have saved before you go across the river and the boss appears... the last peice of wood...
please can you help! :S
Edit: i got 9 hp now but i still would like to know how to use the potions :S
(i hate those birds! :P lol they always kill me lol :P but its REALLY FUN! :D)

I'm sorry to say, recovery items won't work right now. We're working on a custom CMS, which means some things won't work with the ABS. For example, potions won't be equipped, but used directly from the inventory. We'll get this done by the next release, I promise.
I'm also going back and editing dungeons and boss battles. I've lowered the difficulty for some of them, and added hints that will help players when they're stuck (so they'll be able to do a clean playthrough, rather than having to go on the forums to ask for help). This will also be implemented in the next release.
By the way, Santa seems to have granted me a gift, for my old project data was recovered
Progress should be much faster, since I can work a lot during the holidays. I'm more than halfway through the next dungeon. I'll post some screenshots soon so you can get an idea of the place.
Happy holidays, everyone!

That's a problem... I've never encountered that glitch before. Tell you what, PM me your save file and I'll make a new one for you after the boss. I'll look into fixing the problem.
And here's a few new screenshots.
The Angellion tribes are having some problems.
Here's a different type of platforming: can you Breeze your way through obstacles, spikes, and Stings?

Sorry for the trouble of having to do it over again :\
Just a note for future players: There's a bug with saving right after the Liefka boss, so when you finish, do NOT quit playing until you reach the next save (it should be soon after a few more cutscenes). Also, it's a good idea to keep multiple save files of your progress, in case one of them glitches up.

The forest is pretty bugged.
You can trap yourself in the log maze (the one where you find some mossy firewood) by pushing one of the logs from the left (maybe it was right?) side. Also I went accross the river and collected a piece of firewood near a savepoint, healing box, and enemy. When I got it the protagonist said he had enough firewood to go back, but attempting to go back to the campsite will have him say he needs more firewood. He actually did need firewood, I never got the firewood with the moss on it (which for whatever reason the protaganist refuses to pick up, even though he could just go over to the campsite and burn off the moss there)
So yeah, bugged.

Hmm, some of those bugs are new. Could you elaborate on trapping yourself with a log? Which log did it happen with? They're programmed so that shouldn't happen...
About the glitch that doesn't let you proceed, I intended the player to find all the firewoods before crossing the river (an event would trigger before you could proceed with the story), but it seems I messed up one of the variable checks.
Finally, as for the firewood with moss on it, you actually have to do something before picking it up.
Thanks for all the bug reports. I really needed to go back and fix up the fields dungeon anyway. None of the bugs are too major though, so I probably won't reupload a version until the next few chapters. Just remember, players, to pick up all 3 firewoods BEFORE crossing the river!

The player was supposed to burn the moss with their Lantern tool before picking it up. It never actually occurred to me it'd be more logical to pick up the wood and burn it at the campfire :tongue: I guess I should fix that/ make it a little more obvious.
