I know I've praised it a bit in IRC, but this thread needs more posts of input, I have to say I've really like what you've done with this game so far. It's humorous, fun, and just plain pleasant to play. I await the next demo and the eventually finished product with much anticipation. :3

[Alfred F. Jones]

• Tower of Ruse

I read this as "Tower of Rose".

... can we have one? Pleaaaaaaase? :ohdear:

This looks neat. I shall have to give the demo a spin!

[Bias Bus]

I voiced my opinions on IRC before, but I think I'll say this again for good measure; I'm really loving this game here, Trance. A very fine game for me to immerse my interests into, great work.

[Janitor Morgan]

I'm really loving this game here, Trance.

Agreed. ...Though after the Tower of Ruse, Sana always seems to die of dysentery just before defeating a boss, so he doesn't get any EXP. Maybe I'm just underleveled.

I guess that's what the Lucky Egg is for, though!

hay guys i herd u liek ur invisible floor puzzles

[Garlyle]

TRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANCE

[Garlyle]

So uh, is it bad if I manually went in and made the Hibachi theme play when I fight Hibachi?

[trancehime]

I would have done it myself if I had the Hibachi theme with me but I don't so

TRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANCE

:smug:

[Garlyle]

Let me know which version of the theme you want to use and I'll create you an auto-looping small-size OGG you can use and/or include with the next version etc etc

EDIT: Ah crap I game overed at the current final boss (I think it is.  Abyssal Warbeast).  Ah crap I didn't make a secondary save.

Even more aw crap, there's no place to even fully recharge my party FFFFFF

[Suikama]

God damn it Hibachi :ohdear:

If your party's hp/mp numbers aren't completely screwed, you could try running around hoping for level ups for the more mp-intensive characters like Hime and Rou (I personally ran circles in the boss room for Rou to get a level up to max her out before fighting the boss).  I found that Sana, Purvis, Alstro, and Sapz aren't as mp-dependent due to their cheap skill costs, so it's not as important for them to be maxed out on mp.

Of course, if everyone's running on empty, it might be hard fighting the battles to get those level ups.

Also, backup saving should be second-nature, especially when you encounter a teleporter that specifically warns that you can't return until your business in the dungeon is done.

What does the second A in SNAAFU stand for anyways? :V

[trancehime]

What does the second A in SNAAFU stand for anyways? :V

Snaafu is my pet name for Sana

Which is a portmanteau of Sana and Snafu

Let me know which version of the theme you want to use and I'll create you an auto-looping small-size OGG you can use and/or include with the next version etc etc

In honor of Sapz and his Hibachi-exterminating-abilities, I have asked him which theme is the best

He says DFK Desperado (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imjgHfYEbws) so that is what I shall ask.

And yes, we all know that it's Taisabachi but screw dat

[Sana]

This requires Tales music of some kind but I haven't decided which yet :<

[Garlyle]

Daifukkatsu Black Label's Desperado?  Okay, I can do that.

Normal quality (1mb)
Lowest quality (0.7mb)

You might want to check them both, as they both haven't lost much at all; I can't pick up a difference, but you might be able to.  These files won't seem like they loop in a music player, but try importing them into VX and then playing them and listen to it looping (The change should be inaudible)

For those who want to use one of these in the current demo: rename the downloaded file as "Battle5.ogg", and then create a folder named "Audio" in the game's folder, and a subfolder in that called "BGM", and stick the file in there.  You'll have to have RPG Maker VX though, to go in and set the pitch back to 100%, or it'll sound a little sped up when it plays in game due to current settings - and since if you've got RMVX you probably know what to look for in the first place for importing the file normally too so... yeah.

[trancehime]

Thanks Garlyle! Change made!

Showcasing the new characters for SNAAFU ADVENTURE!
Helepolis (Lord Duke)

[FinnKaenbyou]

>Helepolis
>Max MP: 3

Uh

[trancehime]

Uh

Spoiler:

To increase Helepolis max MP, you must go to tea houses and talk to the owners there with Helepolis in the party. He will have some nice tea, and regain some [Charisma], that is, MP.

[Cadmas]

Uh

He likes to work with his hands.
