Aylia's Story 0.10 MV Release

Hello everyone,

The 0.10MV release is in final playtesting and will be posted shortly. You will find links to both the PC and Mac releases below. These links will be posted either tonight or tomorrow night at the latest, depending on how final playtesting goes. Please take a moment to read below.

One last note:
I strongly advise playing this release and exploring the areas. While Zalran Fields is still getting filled, almost every area is littered with new interactions and events. Part of my goal in this game is to create a detailed world and build it through character interactions. If you just rush through to find a few new pictures, you'll probably be disappointed.

Release Changes:

There is not a changelog for this release, as basically everything in the game has been redone for the upgrade to MV. This represents a lot of work, and I believe the game is looking and playing better than ever.

Your first pledge and where we go from here:

This release represents the first pledge towards Aylia's Story. I cannot thank you enough. I will be using all of what is pledged towards this release on commissions for the game itself. Primarily, I will be commissioning work on the system components I've been struggling with that have delayed development significantly. The goal is to have the entire menu system and battle system in place for a 0.20 release at the end of September (see the summer roadmap post).

In addition, this release will signify the start of Patreon rewards in full. As money will be collected, it represents a significant jump in responsibility. As specified in the roadmap, Patreon polls will restart and future releases will go through a patron-only beta period before becoming fully available. In addition, development progress will be continuously updated on Trello (link: https://trello.com/b/JUvqGocH/aylias-story-development-board). You all are invested in this and deserve to see regular updates.

One final note. I want to reiterate how humbled I am that so many have stuck with this and I thank you for your support. I realize your money is important, and my fervent hope is that you enjoy the final product. I am proud of how the game is playing, and while I would LOVE to go back in time and approach this development differently, we are getting back into a good place. I do not miss RPG Maker VX... That said, I will remind everyone that I offer refunds of your last pledge if you are unsatisfied. Your pledge is always of the upmost importance to me, and I'm confident that as we move forward over these next few months, you will be pleasantly surprised by how things progress. Let's make sure the Year of the Tiger is as awesome as it should be!

Thank you so much,

YummyTiger

Aylia's Story 0.10 MV Release

Comments

Ah ok, if there is another release at the end of next week with more content then I'll wait till then. Thanks!

Rayne Knight

Nope, that was actually in use in the last VX Ace version if you had Kira join you in the Lida flower quest. It'll be in use again in 0.15

YummyTiger Gaming

Um... is that picture of a barrel on Kira's head a placeholder? I got a good laugh out of that one.

Maniac

ty YT =) Appreciate the response! I saw you already released a patch as well.

Google Docs will be up and running going forward. I've also put together a small testing team on Discord going forward. If you're on Discord, you can report there. If not, I'd appreciate a PM regarding the errors you've found so I can fix them.

YummyTiger Gaming

When is the bug reporting part of trello or google docs gonna be up and running? I encountered 5 game breaking bugs so far, as well as a few dialogue errors.

Maniac

Pretty much everything in this release is new from the older VX Ace release. If you played the January alpha, the Zalran content is new, including the Dirk scene with multiple stages of artwork. But, the pledge is for the entire MV transition which represents hundreds of hours of work to get everything up and running. There will be alpha, unpledged releases along the way, but those still count as content for a future pledge release.

YummyTiger Gaming

The current download does fix those issues, but Rayne Knight, there will be a public release at the end of next week that will have more content. It might not be a terrible idea to just wait until then if you want to give it another go. Up to you, but if you do re-download the current link, it will resolve about 5 game-crashing bugs.

YummyTiger Gaming

Strange, I completed the Dirk scene and moved to the next buildings after getting the new dress with no issues.

Darthjake

Also, moving onto the building after getting the new outfit seems to crash also - failed to load character. I'm giving up on this one till it is a bit more along. So far good except the bugs.

Rayne Knight

New content was from the previous MV version, which did not let you into Zalran, now you can go up to the Priest.

Darthjake

Playing it through myself now. It looks like if you do the Dirk scene then it crashes if you move onto the next area or you try to save

Rayne Knight

Im not sure what to say but where is the new content?

Mr Clown

Okay, it looks like even though it didn't show up in the browser, my Mega caught it, but instead of downloading it to Mega Downloads folder, it downloaded to documents/MEGA. Strange. Anyway, unzipping now.

Darthjake

Well this looks like a pretty good start. I'm looking forward to future progress.

Dumai12

Uploaded a fixed version that took care of about 5 errors that would crash the game.

YummyTiger Gaming

If you choose to skip meeting Dirk, you can bypass this issue. It is now fixed. In the meantime, you can also make a copy the $MV_Dirk_Event.png file in the /img/characters folder and rename the copied file to "$ZV_Dirk_Event.png"

YummyTiger Gaming

Getting a lot of missing .png file errors starting around meeting Dirk and going around town to the various places like the inn, bar, etc. Unfortunately unplayable until those are fixed beyond that point since it just forces you to restart the game and no skip option.

If you decide to meet Dirk everything you do after that causes the game to crash.

Kegg

I'm copying the link copy/paste, and getting no response from MEGA.
