RMVXA - Concordia Eternal (update 21/4/24) (2024)

I'll add my notes if you want to include them in the update (as I said, mostly cosmetic, nitpicky stuff):

• at the end of the battle, when characters receive EXP, the sound is too loud compared to other sounds
• the message telling you what was stolen in battle is quite fast - until I learned that I have to look there immediately I often didn't catch what I got
• in the ice cave you can walk over the tent in the area where you fight the fanatics
• a couple of typos I caught: truly in Ice goddess' dialogue, lightning in Young wizard's

Also the texts are not aligned properly in the text boxes (I mention this because when I was making my game, I was hounded by my partner in charge of QA for every misaligment ), but I don't think you want to deal with that, it would be too much work. Just something to think about in your future work.

One maybe bug I came across - in the basem*nt with the skeletons, I couldn't get into the storage room, getting a message that I need 3 keys, but when I checked inventory, I had 3. I tried this after I helped Sofia, maybe that's the issue?

If I find anything else, I'll let you know, but I don't know when I'll get to playing again

I didn't have a problem when opening the room before helping Sophia, so you are probably correct.
Aren't you supposed to be working on your sequel?

Desert Roses? I have red/green color blindness to certain shades. What am I looking for in the desert? The NPC mentions the roses are in green plants in the desert.

The Desert Roses are the red plants on green grass. You need to stand directly above them and then press Enter. They might be difficult to spot for you according to what you said. If you can differentiate between the green grass areas and the yellow desert sand areas (or brown arid wasteland areas), then you should be able to spot the flowers in the grass areas.

Yeah, the items in Morgana's basem*nt storage room can be permanently missed. I also snatched them before helping Sophia, and at least after resolving the whole story around Morgana and Sophia, it's not even possible anymore to enter Morgana's basem*nt. If I remember correctly, you didn't miss anything unique or of importance in the long run.

Thank you. I found the problem was that there is no acknowledgement by the game that a desert rose had been found. On one color eye chart I can see both numbers, but you are only supposed to see 1 number. It's shades of green and red that can be a problem. Mahalo nui loa.

Broke the game!
If you talk to Hansen, he moves aside. But if you go shopping and return to the church, he blocks the church door and says "I'm sorry, I didn't know what I was doing ..."

It sure looks like a movement pattern is wrong.

Oooh this game looks like a lot of fun, love the premise (anything involving demon hunting I find to be really cool and promising!) I'll give the game a whirl soon and come back later with some thoughts ~

It's certainly not an easy game. Make sure you find the "Pendant of Peace" and equip it when the enemy encounter rate gets to be too much.

The Pendant is found very early in the game. I think the first map (or so?).

Good Luck!

So far I am enjoying it!

I've gotten up to the part of the Ice Goddess. It's very useful that you can change classes, since the ice cave definitely was easier when everyone can do fire magic (but I kept Mariah as a Spiritualist so she can be our healer). Being able to rest at your own camp on the world map is a nice touch, too. I also like having that Pendant of Peace equiped, although the random encounters so far have not been too bad, when I was starting to get depleted of MP and didn't want to waste what little Ether I had, I equipped it. So I'll probably be putting it on and off, as I want to level up, but also at times the battles can get cumbersome when I am looking for something, so it creates a nice balance.

Btw what scripts are you using for the ATB system? I always like how at the end where it shows levels up, what you get, and character dialogue to go along with it. I also like how you can see what everyone's name is when they talk.

Hello there! I am looking forward to play this game because the art style looks good, however, I want to inquire one thing. Does this have random enemy encounter? If yes, can it be disabled? I prefer enemies to have a line of sight & stuff so that I can get in fights if I want to.
Thank! PS, your game looks good!

There are random enemy encounters - but they can be disabled by equipping the Pendant of Peace, which is found on the first map of the game.

Also apologies to all that have given feedback so far - my life has taken some interesting turns in the last few months! I look forward to improving upon this project in the future, when I have some time. Thank you for downloading and playing my game

Hello all!

• Game no longer crashes during battles with Morgana or Vampire.
• Chimera boss battle can only be triggered once.

Thank you all for the feedback, I attended to these most important glitches first, with cosmetic and/or plot holes taking a back-burner for the time being!

Here is an update! I've actually made quite a few little fixes and changes since posting on these forums. Currently working on a new project, but have also been fixing things in this one as I get better at this whole thing! Here are the changes since the last post here:

• Fixed a bug where Grand Dragons could be battled more than once, causing the game to crash
• Updated some minor text issues, spelling and grammar
• Fixed the Sophia boss battle so EXP and Gold are actually awarded
• Added an image and music to the background of the main menu

• Fixed an issue where a key item could be missed in Shacasir
• Added "scan" ability for gunner class to reveal enemy information
• Added a beastiary to the main menu (and subsequent fixes)
• Fixed an issue in the battle arena so that Meredith, Cordelia and Leon can only be battled once
• Fullscreen mode can now be accessed by pressing F5 for a less blurry (and more pixelated) experience

Additionally, I have also created a PDF game guide and walkthrough, which is available on the itch.io link in the first post, and I have posted a few gameplay videos (with no commentary) on YouTube.
These updates are more for myself and learning how to make a better product, but please enjoy!

The updated game is available via the first post, or here on itch.io.
