War of the Souls

[Adamk 1]

 

Welcome to The game War of the Souls. This thread has been re-opened after I asked a Mod to

close the old one thus allowing me to start fresh all over again.

You can check out some things like Version Notes and Bug reports.

 

Currently the project is 0.3.0.3 Beta.

Game play is 2-3 hours. 8 hours if you look for all the items*.

*See the screen shots for examples of where these items may be.

 

Download the game here**

*The font in the font folder should be installed on most computers. If its

Not on yours make sure you install it

*Current size is 75.6 Mb's - See FAQ for why.

 

Current Bugs I am aware of - Please read

 

 

 

• If you say No to the tutorials in the beginning
  there is a black choice box that appears.
  This can be erased by talking to the judge or
  Starting the battle.

 

 

 

 

 

 

-- Please note below are only the characters of importance. You will encounter others in the game

That are not as important as below.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FAQ

 

 

I found a bug?

 

What type? Where was it? Screen Shot?

What were you doing? Is it a serious crashing Bug?

 

• If you got a "missing file x" you will see a
  "missing file log" in the folder of the game.
  Please copy and paste that here and I will have it
  Fixed. These are not crashing bugs and should have all
  been resolved for this game.
   
  If you do happen to get this error, press Enter or OK and
  continue on.

 

I can't find these items you speak of that are on every map

 

They are with in plants, bushes, grass (the tall stuff), rocks, barrels, broken pots, ruins.

Every where you could place an event a player can get to is a place to look.

 

I tried speaking to an NPC but they said nothing to me

 

Some, not all, will talk to you. this is being fixed through out the versions.

But if you are familiar with some RPG's not EVERY npc will chat with

you. - But hey I could be wrong.

 

Why is the game so large?

 

Because of the music mostly.

 

Convert the Music to Ogg?

 

This has been tried, The music files then A are twice as big or B do not play

in game. Some music files are Ogg, while others are MP3

 

 

Why do the maps look like they are floating?

 

There not. Its a style that is controversial among gamers. I call it Final Fantasy Tactics style

 

 

 

 

 

Control's

 

 

 

 

Up, Down, Right, Left - Move the character

Left, Right - Switch between characters in status, equip and skill window

W, Q - Switch between Skill trees

Esc - To open the menu

Enter - Pick up items, check the ground for items

The empty backgrounds look really interesting. I like it.

 

 

Good luck!

[Adamk 1]

Your game looks good. The story sounds good. I like your mapping. I will try the demo soon and give you feedback.

[Adamk 1]

Thank you. I wont be uploading my demo to the forms until at least 0.3.0B when it will be in the final stages before the final release of 1.0.0

Has any one downloaded and tried the game?

[Adamk 1]

Just wondering if any one has had the chance to try the game and if so what do you think?

[Ecowolfsteen 14]

I found one spelling mistake. When the blonde hair guy is talking to the warriors he says exsactly. It's spelled exactly. :D Other than that, good!

 

Uh oh....! A script error...Not good!

This error has been fixed, the script error that is. I might have to go back and find the word exactly that is spelt wrong. could you screen shot that please?

 

VERSION 0.1.0b IS RELEASED

 

please download and play and give feed back, thank you.

[Kiriashi 117]

Downloading it now.

 

^~^

 

 

ECo, it doesn't matter now, but for future referance: make sure you describe how you encountered the error.

 

 

EDIT:

 

1. When you start speaking with Alexious, the music fades out... then pops back. Remedy this somehow.

2. < --- Should be other thAn. I'm not going say stuff about text being off from now on. I encounter a few more odd sounding sentences and typos like "feild" (more than once), "were" instead of "we're" and "exsactly". You should go proof read yer' game.

3. The facesets clash soooooo much: http://gyazo.com/0ca616bb77522adcacb9785d0eb2d11d.png

4. The Guild H?

5. You do large gaps like these a several times. It's just weird.

6. Loading the status screen in the middle of a battle after attacking somebody takes a year and a half. I was about to close it before it loaded. Sometimes it just freezed until I press B.

7. These guys won't talk to me. :<

8. I walked back into the Inn after walking out, and it froze. Probably a passage block error. This made me not want to continue. I will if you make a save file for me after you walk out of the inn.

This cannot be fixed, the song is only so long. It does loop after a while. I chose a song that was long" for those who took there time reading. I apologize for this.

Speaking for proof reading: your not yer. :) Other then that, LOL, I did do a massive proof read before this release, I do apologize for the grammar and spelling. I will try and fix as much of it for Thursdays patch.

 

3. The facesets clash soooooo much: http://gyazo.com/0ca616bb77522adcacb9785d0eb2d11d.png

 

They do, its mentioned.....In...Game mechanics? I think. Basically it states "deal with it." it other words, not so rude, I dont have specific face sets for specific characters and I am still looking for new face sets and what not. So please bare with me while I try and fix this issue, its not a massive one, but it is on the list.

 

4. The Guild H?

 

Thank you for pointing out that error: Guild Hall. every battle with another guild where there is a judge takes place in a guild hall. This will be fixed in the patch.

 

5. You do large gaps like these a several times. It's just weird.

 

Its not weird if I turn off the "press the enter key to continue." which is being tested. But i agree it is a bit weird.

 

6. Loading the status screen in the middle of a battle after attacking somebody takes a year and a half. I was about to close it before it loaded. Sometimes it just freezed until I press B.

 

Version notes state not to try and load the status screen on the very first battle. For it can freeze the game. I have not experienced this issue you have encountered. Then again I do not use the status window much. How ever the few time I did it loads instantly.

Is there a particular battle this happens? I will look into this :)

 

7. These guys won't talk to me. :<

 

Do you have anna in the party?

 

 

 

 

Visit the weapon store, then go back to the pub/inn

 

 

 

 

8. I walked back into the Inn after walking out, and it froze. Probably a passage block error. This made me not want to continue. I will if you make a save file for me after you walk out of the inn.

 

Again I have not encountered this error then again I have never gone back into the INN/pub. I will test this and fix this issue in the Patch

 

 

Thank you soo much for this. You are my hero and possible God.

 

In red in your quote you will find various explanations.

 

Please do not get your hopes up for the Spelling and grammar and face pics. I understand that some of you are like "OMG you suck..." but I am working very hard on keeping the game stable. I will release a patch tomorrow to fix these issues

 

what is this patch?

 

I have a program that, you know when you compress your game and you get a blue box?, compares that compressed exe to a new one makes a patch for the old one. this exe once executed asks where this "blue" box is and then (assuming its no uncompressed) "patches it" with new scripts, images, maps, fixes and what ever else I have included.

 

This patch is about 1400 kb's in size and is much easier to download and use on you uncompressed game then it is to re download 57 mb's of game every time i release a patch. especially in beta stage.

[Kiriashi 117]

Yer' is a slang term. I meant to write it. Your word was a typo. :P

 

The song issue can be fixed, just make it loop.

 

Its not weird if I turn off the "press the enter key to continue." which is being tested. But i agree it is a bit weird.

xD

 

 

No I didn't have Anna in my party. Remember? The game crashed before I could get to the weapon shop.

[Adamk 1]

How do you make it loop? (please tell me its not under map properites where you auto change the bgm, ill cry if it is)

 

Also, i fixed your issue for the patch :)

 

coming tomorrow.

[Kiriashi 117]

xD

 

 

No it isn't, because it already loops in the sense that it plays over and over. I mean loop so that there is not gap in between the plays. You'll have to get someone to make it loop for you. Its a matter of editing the song.

Oh it wouldn't be hard to do I am just a smidge lazy though LMAO. but i will look into this for beta 2 release. tomorrow patch has me nervous enough.

 

--------

 

Patch 0.1.1B released

 

Please follow instructions in the Version notes "how do I patch my program"

download both the game and the patch

 

basically:

 

Download the game, DO NOT uncompress it, download the patch, run the patch, find the game where you downloaded it to and then run the patch on the compressed game. after its run, uncompress the game and away you go.

[Kiriashi 117]

I don't want to restart, so can you make me a save file? For right after you walk out of the Inn.

[Adamk 1]

Um no I just added a patch that will fix the issue. its 5-7 minute intro with a 5-6 minute battle. if you were 40 minutes in then yes I would. Sorry.

[Adamk 1]

Bump:

 

Version 0.1.2B has been released. Please read the release notes to see what is new.

This not a patch this is the full game at 56.9 mb's.

[Ecowolfsteen 14]

Sweeeeet! Full game! *Noms on it*

[Adamk 1]

Its not like a finished game. its an 1.5 hour long demo but its not a patch

[Kiriashi 117]

If you're not going to make me a save than I just won't play it. Sorry, I don't have time to replay something just because your game's glitch made me restart. That's not fair is it? :<

[Adamk 1]

Dude I'm not your servant. No offense but if every one wanted a save file I'd never et any development work done. Games glitch that's why it's a beta and not a finished product. I told you in the version notes to save and save often. Besides I released a new version with a new tile set and added more to the story. You don't want to replay 7-14 minutes ofthe game because it's "long" that's your progative but I will not cator toyour needs and make a save file for you. Like I said forty minutes In then ya I would.

[Adamk 1]

Final beta version 0.1.3 is released. please download and play. Beta 2 (version 0.2.0) my not be out till december

Okay fine, whatever. I didn't mean any offense. It would take you 1 minute to make it, but I'll just replay it. (All you have to do is change a few switches, the starting position, open it play it and save it, then upload.

 

No need to get hostile towards me. :sweatdrop:

[Adrien. 0]

So what are peoples opinions thus far?

 

A new version will not be out till december.

 

Unless there is a serious crash error

[Adrien. 0]

UPDATE:

 

- yes I have two account. Dont ask me why.

 

1) Version 0.2.1 Beta 2 has been released with all new bug fixes.

Yes I know its a big one to download, no there will not be a lite version of it.

There is well over 200 maps with 90% of them having items that can take up to 8 hours to find all them.

they can be any where, grass, tree bases, plants, rocks...

 

2) Yes there is a RARE crashing bug called "explicit nil conversion" that only happens every so often. why does it happen? AI get confused and throw a negative number or a zero.

what can you do about it? save EVERY CHANCE YOU GET.

 

3) OMG spelling mistakes: yes there are lots, even grammatical ones. these have been fixed since the earlier version sand continue to get fixed.

 

4) Reviews and feed back people
