About the merchant Alphonse.. I think you gave the documents before he even asked after a certain day.
When playing the game (the first time around). He asked us a favor on a certain day. But if you handed those documents before he asked the favor, then you don't know much about why the group finds him non-trustworthy.
Craze glad to hear that the bug is fixed.. ^O^
Cause if we gave the documents before hand, and the group still treats Alphonse in an un-welcome matter. The player wouldn't know the first part of Alphones story.
Okay I put up a spoiler, for those who don't want to know... About the interaction glitch involving Alphonse documents.
Alphonse may be corrupted, but he doesn't want a certain theme put on his title.
He seems to care about his reputation, and rather be known as a merchant some one can trust.
Plus there's a lot of profit for a traveling merchant, that can be trusted and reliable.
The documents if found out in public, would leave a black mark on his character as a merchant. He didn't want that, that's why he asked the wanderer if he can find the man that had those documents. Documents holding information about a slave trade. Even though he claims to be innocent of such trade, but he was involved with some shady company before he reached the village.
Which is why the group (if they heard his favor) would treat him like that.
But hey I like having Alphonse as part of the group.. His guilt gives you thee free coupons, to open up special store version he has. (without using any *feats* in the day) ^^
And to be honest he doesn't seem so bad, after all, the whole group seems corrupted.. Taking things from peoples houses and such.
Thievery is thievery.. It's like the pot calling the kettle black. ^O^
The problem was that we accidentally turned on the switch that says 'YOU FOUND THE DOCUMENTS' in one of his dialogues. This made it so that after shopping (you are supposed to sell him the random vendortrash documents), it would see OH SWITCH IS ON BUT YOU DON'T HAVE DOCUMENTS TIME TO GIVE YOU ALPHONSE.
This was fixed over a week ago. =D
----------------------------
There are not going to be Achievements in Visions & Voices. WIP wants to make sure that they are perfect before public implementation but it might take longer than Karsuman and I would like.
As such, the game is going to go out very soon, most likely within the week. Karsuman has a lot of classes Tu-Th, but we'll finalize it regardless.
I can't wait for all of you to be able to play the (re-?)final version of V&V - it's balanced, polished, and has all bugs that we could find fixed.
The complete Overhaul version of Visions & Voices is now released. The game has had some serious renovations and, really, the only vestige of the original version is the basic plot and the world itself. Everything else is better.
