Battle Test Release 2 (v0.0561)!

Comments

wow... Didn't know that you guys would take the lipstick thingy so serious :D

Optional lipstick would require twice the amount of portraits for Neon, though. No way that'll happen, with their system.

MangoFishSocks

She needs her blue lipstick its neon's personailty like malise and her red. No blue no go i agree with these folks if it could be optional you and us could win :D

Jamie C.

I pushed your test here to the best of my ability and had no issues, I looked for these clipping issues and failed to find them. everything just works :) also Neon needs her makeup :P

Jamie C.

...(was gonna make some quotes out of the song "I'm Blue (and I believe I will die)" but realized it was too cheesy.) ...C'mon Ero, give the girl her damn makeup back, will ya? She just ain't the same without it.

Carter Parks

Yep. Definetely blue ^^

Yeah like i wrote in the begin. I prefer the lipstick like the old ones! Sure its a question of taste. But also it fits on the Cyberpunk style and in my opinion it gives way more life in her face Not like a Doll. So yeah give them girl her makeup ;)

I always said that her blue lipstick would look good on a cock, so that's my vote as well ;).

AltairPL

I'm all for the blue lipstick as well. Maybe show a quick comparison shot of it compared to what it is in this demo for the next update so we can see better where you're coming from?

Isrious

I'm 100% on the blue lipstick, too. It adds to what I think is Neon's rebellious personality, judging from v0.0511's dialogue.

MangoFishSocks

I liked the blue/grey lipstick! That's my vote! Maybe a character outfit change option? Or unlockable? I -really- preferred the look.

Somnovox

Oi, I'm 50/50 on the lipstick thing, assuming we can actually get it to look good. So far it's just looked really artificial in the new style -- which some may say "well Neon is artificial" -- but to the uninitiated it kinda just looks like bad CG.

This won't be the last one :D but was much needed testing/practice for both Uber and I to verify what will be needed for our lighting setup. Would take forever to do this for every scene. Instead we are making a lighting rig where we can automate renders with each light source by itself then mix them in post using HDR workflow.

No problem, happy to hear we were able to help you out... have fun :D

AltairPL

Just a quick shoutout to AltairPL and eromancer for your help and putting the battle test in zip. It worked great! Thank you!

Jacob Larson

The tunes are really kickin, just left the game open for a while and alt+tabbed out

I also added the link to the post above since Patreon seems to want to break links in the comments =/

Here it is in zip format :D <a href="https://mega.nz/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://mega.nz/</a>#!fEE3GZrb!VlpGVNH1Xbd7qhYUk349Zij5t26sBYboPfsefPBHvnY

No worries, i really appreciate your help and patience. I look forward to the battle tests in zip format. The game builds have been pretty awesome! You guys are doing some incredible work. I thank you again!

Jacob Larson

I already asked Ero to repack both Battle Tests to zip format and add a link to both posts, but I think he's out now, so no idea when he'll do this and when you'll be able to re-download. Or you can download and install 7-zip (<a href="http://7-zip.org/)" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://7-zip.org/)</a> - it's pretty popular format nowadays and the app is completely free, so I think it's worth installing either way. Anyway, sorry for the inconvenience.

AltairPL

The game builds using the zip format work just fine, I'm able to download and open them then just drag to the desktop for quick access. I think it the 7z format that is the issue. Once the battle test is downloaded i can then just click on open at which point that window that I mentioned pops up for just a brief second and there is no title on it at all. The internet explorer matter happens when I choose open with other app since the regular way doesn't work. Anyway to try to open it I get options such as using internet explorer, windows media player, even notebook or search the app store for an app to open 7z type files i believe. But when i choose that search results come up with nothing. I tried downloading that older version and just keep getting the same result. I may just be s o l when it comes to the battle test.

Jacob Larson

You can find link to previous Battle Test in following post: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/v0-056-battle-16391806">https://www.patreon.com/posts/v0-056-battle-16391806</a> . In the same post you will find download link to RPG Maker VX Ace Runtime Package which is the only extra thing required. I would like you to get me as much info as possible. I'll make numbered list of all things to check for easier reference: 1. I you haven't did this after having problems with this Battle Test Release, check if older releases work... previous battle test or game releases - this will determine whether the problem is specific for this build or maybe something on your system is blocking all MATM or even RPG Maker VX Ace games; 2. I really don't understand the part of your initial comment about Internet Explorer and store... could you elaborate? 3. How does the window that opens for a second looks like, including what's its title? 4. Check if there is a "!Error.log" and/or "!Output.log" files in the System sub-folder; 5. This occurred to me just now... were you able to decompress downloaded file? All game builds are using zip format, and both Test Battle Builds are using 7z format. Hopefully one of those will help, and if not another series of questions will follow.

AltairPL

I don't know where to find the older ones, but as far as the regular demos go all six or seven of them they have all worked great!

Jacob Larson

Actually this is the first time that i had tried downloading a battle test release. I dont

Jacob Larson

There is nothing in this build that would require additional steps in comparison to previous releases, so I'm kinda stumped. Can you verify that previous Battle Test Release works now?

AltairPL

Sorry for the all capital advice I hit the wrong button. Oops.

Jacob Larson

I tried downloading it and it would not work at all. The other demos worked fine but for some reason this doesn't. Do you need something other than the rpg maker to make it work? Ill download and get a what app do I want to use to open it such as internet explorer, or search for an app in the store but nothing comes up for it at all. I do get a window that pops up for a brief second like it's trying to work but then quickly goes away. Any ADVICE?

Jacob Larson

Darn...well, I have no problem re-pledging for a spell in march... Not like I'll be strapped for cash at all...(March is gonna be busy as FUCK at my workplace.)

Carter Parks

RPG Maker full-screen doesn't work well with wide-screen, but we learned about just recently, and unfortunately there is nothing we can do about it... at least in RPG Maker. You can always use F5 to toggle scripted full-screen, but its quality isn't the best. Sorry for that.

AltairPL

when I go full screen I do not see the whole image. I do not see the side parts

Esimio

Gonna leave explanation about lipstick to Ero, since I liked blue one as well. As for gallery, yeah, there should be one... we actually have a prototype working and we use it for various debug purposes, like checking if all portraits are working and stuff. But it is too clunky and not really user friendly yet.

AltairPL

I gotta say, this looks great !!! You guys sure put a lot of effort in background, maps and other details. I have few questions i hope you can answer, one of which i asked previously is what happened to Neon's blue lipstick, i really liked it. The other one is, will the game have gallery mode when its finished? I know its very early to ask for such an option, but do you have that in mind as well?

The new lighting doesn't look that good imo. The characters looked perfect on the last Battle Test. For me at least this seems like extra work for a somewhat arguably worse result. I also encountered this bug whereas the music would continue playing long after I exit the game. Other than that everything else looks really smooth and works great! Ps: After a throughout look at the styles I realize the best look would probably be the middle ground between this battle test and the last one. The shadow value on the new one is a little too dark but the last Battle test needs just a tad of polishing.

holy crap that music is awesome and so is the game play :D

I think it's related to one of the posted known issues, but it's good to know it may cause something like that as well, so thanks. There's nothing we can do about the fullscreen issue though, sorry.

AltairPL

You don't really have to hunt for bugs... just play the game, hopefully enjoy it, and let us know if something goes wrong ;).

AltairPL

Not just you ^^

AltairPL

One bug I did encounter was an enemy attacking when he was in his death animation. My "During Action" setting was set to 100%. Malise killed the enemy but during the shots the enemy's turn bar ticked over and he attacked while falling over dying. The attack missed. Launching the game fullscreen through RPG Maker's F1 menu still breaks the resolution, zooming the entire view in.

MangoFishSocks

It works that's all I can say with certainty I know this is for us to try and break to see bugs and stuff but I really don't know what I should be looking for or trying to break

Spencer

Yes, I have made tests with whatever option is in there, from skills to game speed and works like a charm! :)

CCman

went several rounds, some with recover, some without, everything looks, feels, and works perfectly, absolutely love the artwork and new style, keep it up!

I like it very much. The graphics are very nice. One thing I like to add though is could you make neons butt crack more visible like for malise? It's covered by the armor too much sadly :(

Fredinator

Everything goes smoothly. Hope new version coming soon. Thanks for your hard work.

You know, I was kind of a patron because I won't keep up with the updates otherwise, and I didn't really care about whatever updates you wanted to do to the art to make it better, was just willing to ride it out, but I must say that the new art really does look fantastic and I'm very impressed by it. Great job guys.

Dee

No problems here. New art looks great although there was defnitely something I liked about the old style. Will we see any releases with h-content in March?

dd209

Works fine for me, no problems so far! Malise new poses look great and the gunfire feels fluid! the only little disappointed is the change of Neons Face (lipstick,eyeliner) but yeah thats just me :D
