That's funny, I thought the ending was quite odd, I just (re-)defeated 3 symbol-bosses, and there came the end.

I kinda missed a big ending boss, gonna play it right now

[Fizzed]

Now there are no more barriers.

Unfortunately, there are.. =p

I can now go in Daska's place, and the commander says something like "Sorry, +string(global.playername), he's not in right now!" I think you're missing something there, but it's not a major problem.

Then I went to NSV into the big building in the center. Daska, the architect and a third guy are in there. I can talk to the first two, but I can't seem to talk to that third guy at the bottom-right, no matter from which direction I approach.

So I figure I have to go to the architect's, err, palace in the lighthouse village. As soon as I come in, I catch a glimpse of an empty blue chair and, just like in Daska's office, the game quits. >_<

[smileyinc]

I am stuck (again). I got to the vilage with the sentinels, looked at the map thing, got the 100 shot upgrade, but I cant blow up the bombable wall...

Also, In the place where you have to bomb the four spots at once, I cant seem to get it.

One last question: If you download the updates, can you still use your current saves or do you have to start the whole game over again.

A few days later and I'm still stuck at the phone. Exactly whhat is it I'm supposed to tell this guy that I want? It's something to do with Coffee, but I must have to phrase it exactly. I've wasted about a week in total trying to get past a number of things with the phone, and it'd really help if I didn't have to wait twice as long. Any good samaritans out there want to lend a hand? >_>;

Congrats on winning the last Cage Match, Srehprog :D

Great Game!
But I think I found a bug:
I talked to the NPC in the Kiosk in the village. I clicked yes and whent away. When I pressed the "P"-button, the game was closed.

Maaaaan. I want to download it, but I'm waiting for all the bugs to go away . I don't want to start it and have to stop and redownload it everytime a bug comes along. . . I played an earlier version, and it was cool. That means its only gotten better since then. Sigh, I'm still waiting until someone completes the game without much notice of bugs. That's when I'll download.

All three of those are fixed and avoidable. I'll update again soon, no doubt... You don't have to go to the Architect's place at all. After the NSV radio scene, go back to the west village, then south for some eye-candy and directions.

You should speak to Daska in the HQ room until he disappears. Then find him outside the third dungeon and talk to him there.

The four bombs in the mountaintop weapon-mod hut need to each be touching one of the little floor lights surrounding the rock. Keep trying and you'll get it eventually. You'll know when you do.

Saves will always work with new versions. I not, I'll tell you all so.

You do need to be very careful what you say. Capitalise and use proper punctuation, I guess. That thing is basically the Cheats menu - it's in no way necessary.

And thanks, but unfortunately the previous game maker failed to nominate a successor, so I now fight the game I chose to replace me. How ironic.

Great Game!

Again it would seem that certain modifications were not saved. I have no idea how this happened, as I remember making the changes to the code to make sure that bug didn't appear. To avoid it, wait until you've opened the village gate, then you can pause.

Maaaaan. I want to download it, but I'm waiting for all the bugs to go away .

Well, the new .exe archive is only ever about 6Mb, and it IS possile now to finish the game. It just depends on where you go and don't go on the way. The more bugs that are found, the fewer the areas that have to be avoided. As I said though, you can get to the end from the beginning, so in a sense there is a way through.

[DoYouFeelLuckyPu...]

As you answered to one FAQ why doesn't the telephone take the secret number:
1-800-CHEAT-ME.

It doesn't work for me too, yet you said CHEAT=CHEA (cus da machine is broken).
That didn't work either.

Do i need some special codes or entry-type to dial the number correctly.

I've tried lots of letters and number yet nothing happens and i still keep getting the Error sound.(ding!)

What do I have to do to get over this?


...

If the phone isn't related on getting the game through, i have checked all rooms and no progress.

Maybe im a total No0b and i suck at playing games oh well...

Do you feel lucky...Punk?... Well... Do You?... Punk?...

[arao]

Umm...several times, i have gone through a screen, landed on a rock of some kind, and been stuck.  I would then have to exit, and reload my game file.  It can be very annoying at times...

See, I need to know exactly where. How am I going to fix these things if all I have is 'sometimes'? I know some rooms do that, but unless I get told which ones and from which direction, I can't fix it.

I have an example
go to the pit south of the NW village.
Then head west, then south while keeping at the left of the screen.
When the transition ends, you land on the rock and are stuck.
That sort of thing, but at different places. I can't name them all, just thought it was worth mentioning.

And what do you mean the save screen didn't update chapters? Was there something wrong with the display?

No, when you use a save station, you get the data from the first save [i.e. Chapter 1] even if it's like Chapter 6 you're on.

[p00nstar]

Great game, but I think I have found a bug. The game froze I guess. It happened after the ship was attacked. And I whent on the elevator. Thats when it froze.

How do I save?

You need to use either all numbers, or all numbers and "-"'s. That should work...

It definitely is worth mentioning. I've fixed that one, but if you find any others, please note exactly where they are every time so I can fix thme straight away. Also, save displays have been fixed.

Great game, but I think I have found a bug. The game froze I guess. It happened after the ship was attacked. And I whent on the elevator. Thats when it froze.

Do you remember pressing or doing anything unusual before using the elevator? I've tried it a couple of times and as far as I can see, if after the cutscene you walk over to the switch, press it, then walk into the door you should be fine in the next room. No?

I just killed that hele-chopper and some swordsman stopped and asked me why i wont die, please tell me what to do next...... do i have to go threw the snow storm?

Yep. But first you need to find some directions to get through it. Try the small raised but on the left bank of the river as you go North towards the mountains.

[Linkums]

Wow, that looks a lot like my RPG that i'm making, and it sounds like it will take ME 2 1/2 years to make as well, although mine has no original graphics. Good job!

[WhiteBamboo]

your peg game loves to get stuck arfter i forget to save .....

[King_Bowser]

I'm stuck at the fire-sun-leaf-water thing
There is no red flying thingy!

[Dr. Zany]

Hey, it's me AGAIN, could you give me that code for the NPC Step that lets you talk with enter?

[Srehpog]

your  peg game  loves to get stuck arfter i forget to save .....

Where? When?

I'm stuck at the fire-sun-leaf-water thing
There is no red flying thingy!

Fixed. Object inheritance error there... That can only happen if you kill the blue one after the red one but in the wrong order. Go green-red-yellow-blue.

could you give me that code for the NPC Step that lets you talk with enter?

CODE

if (place_meeting(x,y,obj_player) && keyboard_check(vk_enter)){
sound_play(snd_talk)
show_message("Hi!")
}

...but you'd be much better off using a text-display system than show_message, and bear in mind that's GML5.0, so 6 and above is probably different.

OK, secondary news:

I need to know what people think of the fourth dungeon. I thought it was supposed to be challenging but apparently those who have got through it finished it without once asking for help. This is not good.

As a special bonus prize, we have the Ark22 Super Duper Concept Art Extravaganza Party Competition, such that the first FIVE people to splat the game boss and send proof to me will get a nice shiny (i.e. printed on photo-paper) piece of concept art through the post. (Note: 'proof' counts as a screenshot of the boss room without the boss in and the exit teleport visible)

Go!
