Well, a lot of the game looks very familiar to RL3. I have had some issues:
1) When I want to change the row of a character, I do not know which row they are in, so it can be very frustrating when I want someone at the very back and discover in the next battle that they are in the very front.
2) Some words are in French. I think they are in the Status menus
3) I once got battles one or two steps after a previous battle, it can be quite annoying
4) You cannot pause during the battle screen when it is one of your character's turns this doesn't give you much time to think and to scroll in the menus
5) The music gets quite boring after listening to the same track over and over and over again. I am especially bored of the battle music, since it is the same one played every time

unfortunately this cannot be fixed, but you can change the row from the menu, and it show here in which row the char is on and you don't have to change it after every battle if you set it from the menu

2) Some words are in French. I think they are in the Status menus

As said in the readme.txt (I hope you read it), this is because I used the french version of RPG Maker and the software won't allow editing those words. Basically it is impossible to fix.

thats random, usually you go in battle after 40 steps, average of most RPGs made before 1997. In most RPGs sometimes you can get in a battle 2 steps after another one too as well. Even if i set the game so you won't fight for 999 steps, this can still happen.

RPG Maker wont allow pausing during battles. You can kinda pause by opening magic or item menu tho, it will halt the battle until you exit this menu

I guess everyone is entitled in their own opinions then =.=. Everyone here said the music was good, which is btw the original anime music dating back in 1982

Well I am sorry you feel this way about my game, I guess I'll try to do better next time, or stop :( I'm not paid anyway to make this

wow, that was kind of harsh of me. Must been because I've been trying for the umpteenth time to try to finish the second quest (reach the city of gold. talk to the guy, come back) and somehow I always die halfway when I am coming back. :banghead:

The graphics are great, however, and the storyline is VERY interesting. I can easily think this of being ported to a calculator.

nah this is ok, It's just because i worked hard on this game, even if no programming were involved -.-

someone should port this to TI-89 C or port this to the TI-84+ with MSD8x support (since there wouldn't be enough space on a calc (even a SE) to fit all 340+ maps on)

odd, it worked fine for me, i heard the music fine. Its bad quality though (48 kbps for most songs, one is 24), I had to reduce quality to save space. I alerady used half of the 500 MB diskspace on my UTI hosting account O_O

Yo xlibman this is amazing I love this game. You could possibly make this a commercial game. Or at least make something on the side with it.

dinhotheone:  If I remember correctly, there is no installation/installer needed...?

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on May 14, 2007, 07:25:00 am

the new version is an installer. This is probably your computer who have problems, as I tried on this public comp and everything worked fine. What video card/windows version/CPU do you have?
