Sure, I don't mind helping with bugs.
Okay guys, if anyone else is interested in bug testing they can post here and we'd coordinate so that we have all the bugs rooted out before Belross gets back! I think the first step is getting a couple of extra testers, then we write down all the bugs we find somewhere (maybe a new topic), then we could assign a priority to each bug, make a list of the bugs that affect the game quality as well as proposed ways to fix them and optionally submit it to Belross for approval (if he has the time), then we fix the bugs. Such an organized approach would be more efficient, I guess.

What about game balance (battles etc.)? Would you rather fix that yourself or is it part of bug testing?

When I conclude the game I'll pretty much re-do all the battles. I'll try to keep the original spirit of the creators' in mind, of course. But I'll also be making a ton of battle animations and shit (I can't remember if my test animations were still in CG3, but that's what they'll be like.)

I like that idea, some of the battles were put there just to be there... Also, there are a few maps without monsters, you might want to add some to those. For example, Shibby Cave in Christo's chapter. Oh and another thing... There are 2 chapter 9s so I skipped 10 and put mine as 11. (I made 11 in CG2 too, COINCIDENCE? :P) Christo's chapter is supposed to be chapter 10.
Standing up for what I believe in, even if it means standing alone.

Why are you going to be redoing the battles exactly? How much of the game have you played?

To whoever's got the game now, could you replace my incorrect title in Panorama with this, please?

Just finished playing through the game...... do you guys even test your chapters? I mean, too many obvious bugs that just result in a dead end. Erave's chapter was very good, didn't 'kill the game' or anything. I liked the puzzles... at least.
Anyway, aside from game bugs, there are so many plot holes that make no sense, but at least you could blame Dara's weird perception of reality or the fact that it's a chain game.

Nothing wrong with battles in my opinion. The balance could use some work, but there are no impossible battles or anything. But yeah, bugs, tons of them.... I'll make a list later. :(

It's a very good game overall, although I think you ought to make a good conclusion that makes some sense Belross, DP might've put it back on track (with a cliche collect runes story, might I add!) but it soon got off it!

Thanks for playing through it RPG. I was hoping to get a few replies saying "let me help bug test too lol" but I guess it is all up to you. If it's not too much trouble, you have full permission to fix anything that needs fixing. I'm sure I don't have to tell you not to change the story or text or anything VITAL like that, but anything that is glaringly obstructive like you said can be taken care of.

And no matter how nonsensical the story has gotten by this point, I'm sure I can whip up an ending that makes sense. Pretty much 100% of any loose ends can be tied up one way or another, it just takes some effort and creativity.

Wait, is anyone allowed to bug test? I had assumed that you had to be part of the original project, or a respected member, or something. (Since RPG's such an elitist after all :rolleyes:​) If anyone can do it I'd love to help, but I had assumed otherwise.

Yeah, that's why I figured. It makes sense really.

Since no one else was interested in bug testing, I was too lazy to make a topic about it. Nevertheless, I fixed most bugs a few weeks ago. I still have to play it one more time to make sure everything is in order.

If Belross wants the game, all he has to do is ask...
