  1.  

    how do I do that?

    [ spoiler ] delete the spaces [ /spoiler ]

     

    [ spoiler ]

    you can also do this.

    [ /spoiler ]

     

    and plz have that map ready for the next demo, i got so lost... i could swear the spikes room was in the right side of the mansion xD

     

     

     

    this is what the room looks like:

    im tempted to grind again in the next demo just to kill them all for the hell of it.

     

    I'm going to make it so they give 0 exp though.

  2. Also, what made you think 189 zombies was a good number to stop at, why the hell not 188 it makes more logical sense, its an even number.

    Because this is what the room looks like:

    It should actually not dip down like that and be flat on the bottom with it being drawn up instead.

  3. i interacted whit the wagon at some point but it didnt say anything about going back to the town, i just though it would be usefull later.

    Just leave the map and go back. He'll be sitting on the bridge.

     

    the final boss fights were easy for me as i had gotten to level 10 by then and i just kept spaming ice arrow to keep him frozen

    (might want to make him more resitant to that, or add 2 crimsons alongside him for extra stress, or both haha)

    the one time he managed to hit me he took a decent amount of hp off of us, that and the danm timer had me inmersed, so yeah it was easy, but definetly fun!

    Thinking of having it so if you're a certain level in the earlier dungeons the enemies will either stop appearing, or the the encounter rate will be lower. 

     

    one last thing, i carried the elder's letter the whole game, wasnt johny suposed to read that or something?

    I suppose I could have just removed the item, but I forgot to.
  4. Thanks for all the notes. I'll make my responses in bold/red.

     



    yup, by pure chance. i weirdly update equipent in the first few towns in any rpg games.
    After you clear the bridge and go back to Hammerport, the shops have new items to get. Don't forget to use that wagon for fast travel across the bridge.

    you should said in the first post that shift makes the game/character run faster
    Next update I'm going to include a picture at the beginning going over the controls and whatnot, albeit there aren't very much.

    finished the game so have more notes:

    the game has a day/night cicle?
    nvm, entering the dog fight area from the right makes that section of the map daytime.
    Yeah, I'll try and make sure that's fixed too. Clony said the same thing, but I never went through that door or really had a reason to, lol. Fixed for the next demo.

    also, in the same area the patch of green herbs says it will refill you hp, but it also refills mp. i avoided using them for some time.
    That's intentional. I felt that given the limited number of items in the mansion, a patch of herbs full healing the party was necessary. It only has 3 uses though.

    the change to the save system is apreciated, the variety makes the game more fun.
    I had to do the typewriter/ink ribbon mechanic. It would have been an insult to the RE series if I didn't.

    so crashx went wesker/mengele?
    I wanted to keep the player guessing on what crasx's intentions really were. Shame what happens though...

    this dialogues... hahaha
    I'm known by some people to have very bad pun jokes...

    the mansion section of the game definetly needs a map or some hand-holding as to where go next.
    Nah. You got through it just fine :P

    johny double dagger normal attack is way more powerfull than the dagger trow, is it because i gave him the fire thing the rat gave me?
    Possibly. Not sure if that item effects skills vs normal attacks or not.

    about that 4 boulders puzzle, is the grey rock suposed to older than the brown one?
    My thoughts were to make the darker colors under the lighter ones. I figured brown was more "defined" color-wise than the grey one and just went that route.

    interacting whit the statue in the crypt after beating the crimsom head pt1 repeats the scene.
    I knew I forgot something down there... Fixed it for the next demo.

    tried killing all the zombies that came out of the wall, took down about 7 of them before realizing they would not stop coming in.
    Lol, there are 189 zombies behind that wall. You're not meant to go back that way anyway.
    goddanm safetty mechanism! goddanm this backtracking, i keep getting lost/going in circles.
    I am a bit of a sadistic a**hole. I originally wasn't sure if I wanted to put a typewriter before the long ladder too.
    danm, did not expect that twist. so san is the bad guy? s**t, this plot is way better than i expected
    Pretty messed up stuff... using GC members as guinea pigs?

    might want to make a save point/herb patch instead of putting so many medkits in that last hallway. at least untill the next expansion to the game.
    But there is a typewriter just in the room prior. I might think about it. I wanted players to use valuable time opening those First Aid Boxes and whatnot too.

    >carlos kills san & jhony
    1/10 not realistic
    Carlos was injected with hax
    kidding aside... f***, didnt expect that ending D:
    Not to give too much away, but some characters will die in this game.

    finished the game in 6 hours(not counting 2 game overs) and at level 10/10/10
    Man, you were way over-leveled for that part of the game. I did want to make the mansion a place TO level up your characters a few times though.



    a few things i didnt do;
    check all the rooms in the ice cave.
    when going out of the spawn town, i went straight south to the cave, but i remenber there being a road to the right, what was there?
    Your party member just scolds you for going some place you're not supposed to go

    i regreat never using the alcohol.
    Don't worry, I never used it either, and I put it in the game

    after i got the ermengecy axe (plox, turn it into a weapon after its used) i went to the boarded up room, but i couldnt interact whit the door. :/
    Yeah, Clony had the same problem. Found out that you had to be ON TOP of the boards to use it instead of in front of it. Stupid bugs... It'll be fixed in the next demo.

    i tried backtracking from my last save point, but after going up the elevator, the door to the lobby of the mansion just reloads the previous room.
    Fixed in the next demo.

    overall the game was fun, the most boring part (aside from going around the town doing stuff) was the first cave, it kinda feels lackluster compared to the rest of the dungeons. duno how it could be improved tho.
    It's more or less there to give you a feel for the game and a few fights. Not all caves are supposed to be fun by the way.



    What did you think of the demo #2 boss though? Too easy or too hard?

    Thank you and Clony for both finishing the demo and giving input. For that, I'll try to find a place for the two of you in game that's more than just a cameo appearance.

     



    ah, i get it now.\

    i did went back there and try to see if could do anything whit that, but from behind... my fault for being an smart donkey, i guess haha

    I'll add something there to reference that...

  5. The mansion was mainly designed to have the party be around the 6-7 level mark.

    Did either of you guys find the Quiz Rat though?

     


    also some notes and thoughs i wrote down while playing:


    -is the mansion section exact copy of RE?

     

    It started out as it, but turned into a loosely based version of it.

  6. Having owned an ASUS ROG laptop before, I can vouch for them.  The build quality on those things is fantastic as well as it pretty much lasted 2 years of constantly being powered on with no issues arising from it at all before I resold it last year to buy a much lighter laptop because...well, I didn't need a gaming laptop since I already own a gaming desktop.  They are just an all-around beast of a machine...and with that, HEAVY AS F**K, but not so much so that you still can't carry it like a book under your arm.  The Lenovo one is slimmer in size and a little lighter.  I think both models are showcased at Best Buy (or at least similar models) so I got to see both in person (since I work at one) which I would recommend seeing in person before pulling the trigger (call if they have a gaming series Lenovo/ASUS ROG beforehand though.  Not all I think would have shelf-displays of laptops across the company).  The keyboard on the ROG is superior to the Lenovo in my opinion.  It just felt...perfect.  Not mechanical keyboard perfect, but as good as a laptop can get.

  7. edit: in any case i think i may be taking a break from these servers. first two rounds ended up with getting a ban :( i might try them again later i suppose. *packs up bag and heads for mount and blade territory*

    Please don't let a ban discourage you from playing again. Most of the time we use bans as a way to communicate the rules to players who may not be familiar with them. It's also a way to get a message across to more problematic players (not in your case though). If you have questions, concerns, or are unsure about something, add an admin on Steam and ask/talk about it. We're here to help when we can.

  8. Hitboxes in L4D2 are garbage.  They're almost never in sync with the model when a player is moving.  The higher the speed, the more out of sync the hitbox is going to be...and lag is a factor in it as well.

     

    This is an old video, but it gives a visual example of how crap they are (this was from L4D1, not 2):

  9. Use the piano, and backtrack to the rooms that had those papers laying around.

     

     

    I'll write more here when I uncover more about
    everything.

     

    Was a clue.  Where did you read that last?

  10. I didn't think it was too big of a deal since the event can't be triggered a second time so I left it alone.  Glad to see you're making progress with it.

     

    Did you find the quiz rat though?

  11. Hahaha, I was thinking about making a map for it, but some of the room connections don't make any sense.  I was initially trying to make it all make sense, but it became too hard so I was like "screw it" and did whatever.

  12. Hmm... Well, damn it.  Uploaded another fix.  Just redownload it again.  Sorry :bang:

     

    About... 3/4ths of the way of making that dungeon I noticed you could do some things out of order so I had to change a couple items around which caused that to happen.  Hopefully that'll be the last one you run into because that should be one of the only places that happens in.  There are a lot of crude things I did with that dungeon because of limitations and whatnot.

     

    And yeah, that whole ice dungeon, minus the skating rink puzzle, was made in the dungeon generator.

  13. Yeah, there's a little inconsistency with that.  They're mostly "Player Touch" though...except the Demo #2 dungeon.  Don't forget to press F5 to make the screen a bit bigger if you're playing windowed.
