The game is now finished, and is entering the Alpha testing phase (I'm going to play it all the way through). The bug I mentioned concerning the "Stone" condition is still present in the remake, but will add a degree of difficulty to the game. I don't think it will affect gameplay that much. I've made it so that if you do get killed while you are petrified, the petrification will automatically be removed, and replaced with the "Slain" condition.

I can hardly wait to share this with you! Thanks for all your help, people.

You're welcome.

It's almost here now!!!

Hurrah. Hopefully, it'll be awesomely awesome...er.

I have decided to do Alpha & Beta testing simultaneously. In other words, I have uploaded the game to my friend's server, and I have e-mailed the link to those who offered to help with testing. Meanwhile, I will test play the game in its entirety myself.

As soon as we get the bugs worked out, I'll post a link to the final release here. Thanks for the support!


EDIT: I recall a quote from the first page of this thread, about a month and a half ago. It didn't seem very relevant at the time, but now it's more relevant than ever...

Well, I never heard a word from Square-Enix. In fact, I think everything worked out rather well.

Despite what I said earlier, I cannot get any real system requirements on this program. I tried running it on my 486 system (running under DOS and Windows 3.1) and I got the error that "the program must be run under win32" So I dug through my old Windows 3.1 utilities and got my old Win32s program. After installing it I got various errors concerning DLL files and "DOS error: 21" (whatever that means) Either my Win32s is partially corrupt or windows 3.1 cannot run the program. I would guess that if you can run at least Windows 95 *coughsuckscough* you'll be able to run the game. No worries about 5 year old systems.

I would probably recommend Windows 98, Second Edition or better. By the way, what are your thoughts on the game so far? Does it live up to your expectations, and if not, where does it fall short?

EDIT: Okay, I will be waiting for bug-fix responses over the next couple of weeks. If I don't receive any info concerning bugs which need to be fixed, and I don't discover any myself, I will post the game on May 10, 2005 after my final exams are over.

EDIT (again): I just thought of a minor bug in the Bonus World that I need to fix, and the final version will contain this fix. I will e-mail the beta testers about this as well, so that they don't all report the same bug!

I just got the mail, so I'm downloading it on my crappy modem. Can't wait to try it. Sorry for the delayed response, though. I was busy when you posted this, I guess.

EDIT: Can you put up a version that doesn't have the install for RPG Maker 2003, for those of us who have...crappy modems?
