And now I must of course add some stock

Wand Store

Wand store

Wand shop sign

IT WORKS!

Hover messed up

Resistance upgrade present

Okay, now stuff works.... Next stage is to get the upgrades to work, as that is when it comes to elemental upgrades not yet done

Invalid Class Field

Whatever

Now "new" statement

Link code

Written to startup code for Stone Master Tephondar

Tephondar

Mostly files can handle low quality.... Although metal music appears very very sensitive.... But metal is not used here....

The relaxation music that sounds in Botanica has also been halved in quality, as that was the biggest file I could find in Kevin McLeod's list....

I've lowered the quality of "The Machine Thinks" from 128 kHz to 64 kHz, and what I hear now is satisfactory enough.... This was one of the bigger files in my music library, so I hope to have a bit of a "win" in this process...

I've taken a look at NAudio, as the game is getting too big because of the music files... I can try to bring down their quality a bit, but it is a bit of a woe... MonoGame only supports WAV and uses dependencies for ogg support. The latter is unacceptable, as that makes me dependent on how well the computer of my player is configured, plus it also requires me to put my audio files in the open unpacked, and that can cause copyright issues.... So I am in a bit of a fix here.... I'll experiment with this later

This will have to do... I'm afraid

I hate intelligent software.... And that is what the WYSIWYG editor of itch.io provides.... In 99.999% of the cases it does things I didn't ask for, going beyond any level of stupidity creating very extremely ugly results in the process!

but it looks horrible, but I'll have to fix that later

Draft page set up

That covers everything for today... All that is left to do for me is Tephondar, but as he is a stone master in elemental protection, which is a new field in stone master land I won't do that today anymore....

Again!

Identifier typo

Let's see

Yannee, daughter of Fandalora

And let's see if they work properly

NPCs placed in town

Tag adaptions

Male Fairy 2

Male Fairy 1

Female Fairy 2

Female Fairy 1

Now?

In that case... DIRTY CODE STRAIGHT OUT OF THE TOILET!

One more time?

But I think I took care of that

Works of a part

Does that work, as well?

Same trick now done to the ability list

That works

Does that work?

Item hover should highlight item, for better view

That all works now!

III

Ah, the former fix was not done thoroughly... Although the latter one was correct

Take II

Mistake in hover detection

First time not registered as first time, so it will be all time

And can i get testing now for real... please?

new window then

No it completely crashed

Well, can we start it now?

Does it work again?

But first I had to deal with a console acting up on me for no apparent reason

Let's see if that's true, or not!

And that SHOULD work now

Linked to the map

Feenalaria's script should now work accordingly

Feenalaria's scenario has been adapted for this game, and should now (unlike the original game) also show her portrait

Let's test if that all works the way it should

Worldmap entry properly linked to the map

Base script on which the rest of this map script can be built

Feenalaria

Added tag STONEMASTER

Repacking Music resource, and I also aliased the song for Frendor so the game should pick that up properly

Although I had to convert it to WAV.... When this project is done I really wanna see if there's a more proper way to play .ogg in C# without having to rely on dependencies and needless extracting swap files.

I've copied "Chamber of Secrets" by Eric Matyas into this project.... This is because Iskarderiu will be added in this game as a town (although it was not present in the original game), and it would only make a good view on things if I kept the music the same... And the license allows it, so what the heck

If you ever found Phantasar in Star Story, the same music plays in Frendor then too....

"Enchanted Valley" will be used for Frendor, just like in the original game and as in TFT REVAMPED

Data generations so it can be used in this game

Frendor

Let's see

Link back from the madhouse to the crossroads

Some last testing.... I wish I could more to get confusion to work, but it doesn't matter... In the next dungeon it'll be even more important and thus have better test possibilities

It works as far as it has to work... I'll get into the full depths of stuff later!

Take V

And I've set the same fix by the status causer

Needless looking for stuff that is only required if the status change is actually cured by this move

Return error

Take IV

typo?

Take III

Wrong var name

Take II

Illegal class call

Wish me luck... If the game crashes upon causing confusion, thing are (likely) the way they should be... Let's see

Boss script

Jeepers Creepers

Creep

Status changes should now be active, however nothing has yet been tested, so wish me luck!

This would have to fix a little error that would affect foes, but would not affect heroes

Well, the next step will be to include the boss, but first I'm gonna watch "Wie is de Mol?" and let's see if I can unmask him/her this year....

Arena cosmetic error

Target error!

Take I

Madhouse

Not there yet though!

Configured Random Encounters

Put in Random Treasures

ClownFace AI taken care of

Confusion cannot yet be done, as there is no valid status change causer yet, but I will get onto this in the upcoming time....

Already made a quick link to Aziella... This to make sure I won't forget, and since Aziella is the last character to join you, this is not unlikely.

Confusion

Ultra Sonic

Basis for ClownFace

That's all artowrk

Creep

ClownFace

The next step will be to get the encounters for this place to work

Right! That all works

Take II

Achievement reference

Take I

Now the boss won't activate YET, because I haven't scripted that yet, only the zone that will trigger the boss has been drawn on the map, but it has no code linked to it yet. I first wanna see if you can get through the madhouse as intended... Since it's a house with a "twiested reality", it needs extra care.

Linked the achievement

I'm going slightly mad

Almost there

Area 006

A little test is required, though!

Area 005

FINALLY!

Nilfix

Take IV

Untagged Dead

Take III

missing links

blockmap issues

Take II

Blockmap issue

And let's see what happens if we test that!

The additional script for Area 004

RIP

Area 004 requires some extra scripting and scenario

Area 004

Area 003

Both done now

Feeding myself

Feeding Kitty

Magic disc

Take IV as I need to check one more thing

That part works

Take III

002 => 001 link didn't work

The when you've been there links work

Take II

And while I was at it I also fixed a blockmap issue in 999

Fixing a bug in the process

So put it in

Forgot the ZonaAction Link

Take I

Now I need to run multiple tests... One to see if the area will indeed be hidden if you didn't go to the facility and one to see if it's open when you've been there

Access to area 999 is completely hidden unless people have actually been in the facility

And the link up script between area 002 and 999

Area 002 MadHouse

and that was it... Tomorrow I'll get my focus on the MadHouse

Updated

Updated

Take IV... I think....

Code Typo

Link back into the facility

And a little fix along the way

And let's see what happens

And the link code added

The bar removal routine

And let's try this again! Take II

And a crash fixed in the process

added that

Set up the speech for all characters, but I forgot Rebecca

Time to find out!

But does it work?

The transporter pad in the Facility has been linked to the exit portal in the Mad House

Exit Text

Tagged the transporter objects in the facility

MadHouse Area 999

That means that I now will have to link back to the Mad House

Important note! The link to the second part will NOT yet work, as I'll first do some other parts... This allows me to do a more balanced (and still harder) part to come....

It appears to work now

Take III

 

Sigh!

(because my IDE caught keystrokes that were typed on my CLI, and messed up my code in the process... How could that happen? Microsoft?)

And a lot of stuff not going my way

Yeah, I too think it was stupid to forget such a trivial thing!

Take II

non-declared variable

But I can test if this all works at least

I will wait with that part until I got two more dragon caves done, though

I've written the script that will open the door to the next part if you got enough points on GJ with my games....

Right, that part is okay now
