Hoping to make your life's design a bit more dynamic!

Got it... Thanks! It's going to take me a while to process this and do a hotfix. The bug reports are piling up on me, too, and I'm scattered a bit thin at the moment, but I'll get it done.

Go at your own pace, this seems pretty low priority compared to other things.
I mean, I discovered it doing stupid things that most won't try. And it's pretty much "flavor text", so not problem.

Should I then write my ideas for the conversations, or that can wait (or not be needed at all)?



Both 004 and 005 are the entire set of conversations, the parts you mention with Poyon and Kupi are their conversations (Poyon conversations are almost always about food), and no wonder you were confused, each string has part of a conversation, some of the lines are somewhat important to the plot or character development, and others are just silly talk.

That could make anyone doubt what kind of dialogues these are or where they could be used.

The double word is fixed in my master.
Prevent Status Effects changed to Avert Status Effects. That should fit without creating a "ghost".

Thanks!

No problem. Doing my small part to fine tune D-D's work is almost as fun as playing this awesome game. Besides, I might as well put my grammar nazi tendencies to some use. Not to mention my abysmal luck at stumbling upon game-destroying bugs.

The monster on the left is using Cure-all, which looks like a regular attack. I think with enhanced damage. Surely that's not right....

Heh, I believe you're onto something! What a rolling snowball we started by fixing hyphen support. Where Cure-all once fit (wrongly) just happened to be a healing skill. Once that shifted, Cure-all had to land on something. What I need now is the original Japanese, then we'll re-translate it and get everything squared away.

BTW, Grammar nazi's are welcome here, just not in the game itself, hee-hee...! (Poke at Maeson and SylarDean!)

Still need to round up a report on McGee's Magic Eye and play Swordmaster's second save.

Would like some input here. We ran into this long English world thing in SSMS-II (not sure how we'll handle it yet) for elemental weaknesses. The Japanese need a Kanji or two. We have names as long as "Thunder". You get some enemy with weaknesses to everything, and you run off the screen.

I wish we could use icons, but... Okay, we can make them: F, L, E, T, B, W, etc. or Fi, Li, Ea, Th, Ba, Wi. That's about the only games in town with no extra line available.

As for ice kiss, I might be able to squeeze in something such as:

DMG = HP -1
One HP left

Does this work?

I could never kill those metal monsters.

Say, did someone give me the name of a metal monster early-on that needed a better name?

Are icon totally out of the question? If not, I could probably wrangle some up (ie. Steal them from other games).

Bongo` usually doesn't prefer to use them, but we did in battle menu selections that way. If the game will support them and Bongo` will code them, we could use them in both games, and I would certainly go for that!

BTW, I have sent the Oni-II title page off to FlashPV.

I find myself guilty of that one... But I regret nothing!

About Cure-All... is not going to leave us alone... Is it?

I feel bad for all the problems that is giving you guys.



...Well, I think Fi, Li, Ea, Th, Ba, Wi, would be enough. After all, if someone is going to play SSMS is because he/she wants more RPG goodness and most probably knows how "the tropes" of the genre go.

Besides, a line in the readme explaining this would be more than enough, (Although of course, like manuals most people don't read it, lol).

Icons would be awesome, but if they are more of a problem and it's not worth the time and effort, I don't mind at all.


I think that it would do fine with that description. About the steel worms, I only killed them by critical hits... 9999 exp by each one is kind of crazy.

Oh and by the way, the Pug Rangers (Those monsters that shouted colors that you guys fixed) give A LOT of experience too. And they were fixed for good, as I havent' seen a single problem with them since then.

I like weird enemies that act very different compared to your average monsters in RPG. They add flavor to the game, and this one has a good small ammount of them.




Hmmm, I remember the "Steal Worm" that was changed to "Steel Worm" and the conversation about "Devil Gauge" and the possibility to change into "Devil Cage".
