VERSION 0.3.020 - WHAT IS WORKING FOR ME
« on: October 14, 2007, 03:29:18 pm »
Not that I think it is a bad idea to list all things that are not working, but after all the work many people put into this release, I thought it would be an even better idea to have a thread where you can list what you like about it. So for all negative things go here, they do not belong in this thread.

Let me make a start:
I really, really, really, really like the tutorial. The area is so big, I even got lost in there. The NPCs are really helpful and funny too sometimes.
I like the sewers. Had not been there in a while, and found sounds I never heard before, a much nicer atmosphere, and some moving parts that had always been stationary.
I like all the grass.

Your turn.

Seconding: The new party-room in Kadas is awesome!
Lighting: Provides for some fantastic atmosphere!
Tutorial: Didnt finish it completely, yet a very cool feature!
Grass: Very "bushy" around=P
Oja: Great improvements with the bamboo-like trees (shadows), as well as the Storage-section, that finally got a sky!

All in all, to me that last update increased the overall consistency of all parts of the game quite a lot!

Oh.. and beware: We Elves can sneak up on you now!

-the new light system increase the ambience in dark aeras (light has been attacked to lightsource) \0/
- even the tutorial might have some minor issues its really great made for new players (inclusing some rolplay action and very good eyplanations of the ps system)

The game startup / loading was quite slow in the previous version, now it's loading very quickly, it's a nice improvement. The drawback is the nice loading screen cannot be admired as long as before ;)

I really like how the maps change much more from light to dark now.

I  also like being able to rename my books.

Things i like after being in-game for an hour or two.

The new lighting is great the atmosphere it creates is great.
Finally the grass is grass and not blocked out areas
The new sounds, to be honest i normally play with no sound but since i read about the new sounds i put sound on and it adds so much to the " feel " of each area.

I haven't tried the tutorial as of yet although i intend to first chance i get.

All in all it's a great update, and guys don't get to down about whats wrong i have been in about 25+ alpha state games and the problems this one is having at the moment are just teething trouble compare to most.

Great job all  :D

Tutorial is excellent for beginners, as well as veterans alike. Very well thought out dialogue, easy to follow. Lighting system is much nicer, as well as the fact that prospective authors may now name their books. Makes it much easier to copyright a story, eh?

I loved the Tutorial, Kada El's Party Room, The New lighting...  and the fact it didn't crash all the time.  Big bonus.

Grass: Good work, it looks very good now.
Ligher2: AWESOME!  Also CS1.2 helps with smoothing out the gameplay in low-framerate situations :)
Kada's:  Finally!  Somebody had enough sense to rearrange the chairs there!
Tutorial:  Excellent job Xillix, it covers just about everything a new player needs to know.
Sound:  The sewers have taken on a whole new life with the sound adjustments :)
