-THIS IS THE REAL UPDATE THREAD, DISREGARD THE FUNHOUSE ONE AFTER PHASE IV TESTING-
Project LOVE | Name to be Announced
Genre | Fantasy Adventure RPG
PC

~~~~
ETA: January ~ Late February/March
~~~~

-This is copypasta, please disregard some thigns till I update this more-

11/22: Since Phase III, of testing for funhouse is complete. I'm on to an actual serious testing phase. Although there will be one more Funhouse test. This will receive the actual updates.

Last update of game: 11/22 (expect daily updates, expect logs of 11/22 on 11/23)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story and Reason behind this: Yes yes, another game. Though there is a story behind this. And there is some hiring going on.

I was 50% done (and this was some months ago). I had some major file corruption, not to mention some major hacking of the folders to extend the space of the files so it could hold more than 32 MB. I had hacked it to hold 120 MB. Yet it corrupted and I had no living backups to it as it affected my entire folder. So I reset my OS and didn't finish the game.

I start this one off on a positive note. It's going to be Lite, under the 32mb limit. And its going to be, not, based on the SP forum. But you can help decide the flow and some of the decisions!

Not to mention, theres a test client I need you all to help me with. It's basically straight forward nothing hard. It was a test-battle client for testing different battle scripts I could do. This one is a win. Trust me you'll like it as much as I did.

*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*

I will have a working LARGE "World"map by the end of Thanks giving week. Since i'm on break, guess what I'm working on.

BUGS LIST:

-Popup pictures, do not center correctly
-Need to extend text box, or change text
-Accidently put 800mb instead of 120mb (i'm such a retard for putting in the wrong thing)

Objects of initiative grab:
TEST 1- User Opinions:
-title page filler <<Working on that
-make heal worth using instead of a waste of turn <<It was a filler for a test. I wanted to see how some things affect one another>>
-don't like how it starts with 2 people (start 1 -> add another person to party by event)<<No story relations at start, it will make sense later>>
-dialogue needs work <<L> Storyboard writer!>>
-I like the fact that you made the battle hard but it seems a bit too fueled by chance (even killing the right people in order, Ive died several times) fixing heal or double attack should solve that <<Double attack is a WIP skill, and its seriously in need of work. and as stated above, heal is just a test.

After some quick testing:

Music: Working as intended! I am proud of you.
Skills: Everything seems to work properly. Except for the still-bugged Hell Drag.
Items: Super Magic Water is supposed to heal 750 MP. It does absolutely nothing. =|
Opinion: I thought it was rather fun to pick out the equipment wisely with the money that was given. The battle was kinda easy since the characters are maximum level with the best(?) gear and skills, and since Derosis's damage wasn't that high. Although I think you should have made him do at least one status effect so I could have tested out Dispel herb. I like how you added dialogue during the battle when the boss's hp was brought down, too. All I can think of right now, I'm pretty tired x_X

Reply:
Music: Thanks
Skills: Hell Drag was removed
Items: Working on it
Opinions: It was to test a boss with 999,999 HP; I tested at lv 60. Took me an hour and 15 minutes; Working on Boss damage to Character HP; Working on spell effects for Derosis for Test 4; thanks, I actually tested the pineapple out of that due to it taking me a while to figure out why it wouldn't stop sometiems. Sleep well.

Where did it download to? You have to delete the previous ProjectFolder.exe for it to work.
