Build 0.2.2c Faerie Prince (Bugfixes)

Bugfix Edit:

The download links have been updated to a new bugfix build. If you got the last one you might want to download the updated version for a better experience.

Original Post:

The new build is finally here! It has been three months since the last one so there's a lot of little changes and improvements but the most exciting parts are the addition of a new party member and the second boss of the game, the faerie prince! There's still a lot of chapter two missing so future story updates will further develop and contextualize the new characters and their motivations.

The battle system has been improved quite a bit with more information being displayed like the addition of status effects, as well as broadcasting of abilities used by monsters. New skills and magic abilities have been added for hero and Ash although some are still in the process of being reworked and need new animations and effects.

Save files are still not in a stable condition so for your convenience I've added an option to the title screen to start a new game at the beginning of chapter two. You'll still be able to customize hero before you begin.

As always let me know if you encounter any bugs while playing and feel free to give any feedback you may have!

Note: I include Mac and Linux versions but I cannot test or offer technical support for these versions or even confirm whether or not they still work.

Keyboard Controls:

Controller can be used but it might be a little buggy right now (The selection cursor may disappear, use the mouse to select something again) See the input tab when you run the game for more options.

Comments

Do you think you'll ever reimplement this as an option across the rest of the game?

Mann-Nova

I'm glad that you enjoy the game 😊

Monster Souls

lol what does it say about me that i enjoy the outcome if i game over during the fight with the faerie prince 😳

mrlilmssunshine

Sometime next month. I've started animating the wolf and need to finish his encounter and related scenes.

Monster Souls

When do you think the next build will be released?

Richard James

Actually you can still trigger it. You have to be in the Ancient Aqueducts (first dungeon) and hit F6. It only shows the default hero skin though since it was added before character customization and other stuff. It's not fully functional but you are free to play with it.

Monster Souls

No, I think I disabled it since the animations were glitchy.

Monster Souls

Is any NUDE mode available?

Yes. Some scenes like the bosses are not added since it would be very spoilery and they are more complex to add. They may become unlockable in the future.

Monster Souls

Should the Animation Previewer still lack certain scenes? I saw the twitter post about all scenes currently implemented but they are not all in the previewer That is, unless I am doing something horribly wrong when I download or start the program XD

Are you using a controller or do you have one plugged in? Or any special type of mouse?

Monster Souls

hey, how do I make the character screen stop flashing between class and equipment automatically?

I normally holdout on builds but I'll be trying out this one. Too excited about the Prince! Thanks for all your hard work

Tellsgamutt

Thank you for sharing your experience with the game. The slime buddy being there while hero is getting laid was so funny and awkward I didn't know whether to hide him or keep him in there. I might add an option to put him away in the future and leave it in the player's hands.

Monster Souls

Right now there are a few hidden items that if you sniff near them then they will appear. In the future I want to continue to add hidden items and perhaps story clues about characters. The user experience of the skill should be improved as well.

Monster Souls

Alright good to know. On one hand if there is a bug it will be difficult to track down but at least it's not happening commonly. Thank you for your time.

Monster Souls

Sorry for your time, I also tried many routes but cannot reproduce :(. So hopefully I was just unlucky the first time.

Dante

Hey there, just a quick question. What exactly is the point of the crouch ability in the wolf form? Or does it not have a purpose yet?

Celes Cheire

Thank you but I'm still not able to reproduce it. If you are able to reproduce it with very specific steps it would help but otherwise I'll just have to keep an eye out for it incase I stumble on it by chance.

Monster Souls

Normal form. After your advice I straight up loaded chapter 2 from main menu and then surrendered first goblin.

Dante

Also what form was the hero in?

Monster Souls

Ok and this was directly after the faerie prince game over? I'll check that the sorting orders are getting reset properly.

Monster Souls

Thx that worked! You can see the goblin's penis the whole scene now though :P, it's not inside.

Dante

Hint for defeating the faerie prince: If you are able to keep at least 2 different damage over time (DoT) effects on him you'll be able to use the other turns focusing on healing while the prince slowly dies. Since I don't have skill descriptions in yet: Hero's Beastform gets Ripper (Bleed DoT) at level 5 and Slimeform gets Poison Spit early on. Ash gets Entropy (Dark DoT) at level 8.

Monster Souls

Well I liked it šŸ˜‰ sure it's a tiny bit buggy, there was a little stuttering in the Goblin Camp, and of course there is a bit of story missing. But the Fairy Prince was beatable on the first try (I did hunt down and kill every last goblin and slime with extreme prejudice though). Still like Colton and Lukka a lot šŸ˜‰ and am looking forward to more content from them. I tried the F7 scene with Lukka and F2 with Ash...I'm not sure what that cute little buddy of mine the Slime pet (who is adorable by the way) was thinking during those scenes...he seemed to be commenting on what he saw, but maybe it was my imagination. Anyways, great work as usual, looking forward to more, and happy that you added even more skills and a jump to Chapter 2 option. Thank you for that, and all your hard work.

Ryan Fox

I think you have to use hero's surrender skill to get the scene. Right now there are restrictions on which encounters will allow it because I have to solve some problems handing out the right scene based on what monsters are left alive.

Monster Souls

I don't get the defeat scene with goblins anymore. Maybe because i lost from the boss (at lvl7 xD), and then fought goblins to train. After defeat it respawns me immediatly at crystal

Dante

I'm not sure what you mean, any other details on that?

Monster Souls

I didn't even think of that šŸ˜†

Monster Souls

Btw, the goblins dont seem to be interested in Hero anymore after they win :(. Might be bug.

Dante

Think he meant "suck" in a more literal way xD

Dante

I tried to balance the prince to be a challenge for a level 10 party but any lower than that and he seems nigh impossible to beat. 😁

Monster Souls

That would require me to not suck, lol.

Nicthalon

Hint: someone in the goblin camp might want to talk to you again after you defeat the faerie prince.
