I have released a quick update for Estopolus. There is new content! The game is now a little bit prettier. Also, I managed to fix a few bugs. However, save files from the previous version don’t work anymore. This is due to new scripts. Save files from this version will work in the next though!
Get the update here: http://www.ezekiel-rage.com/files/ROS0.2.zip
Looks pretty, though I wonder is this really playable? When I start up the game, there is no music. I’m standing at a healing spring of some kind with no context whatsoever. I can only go one screen down, all exits are blocked off and the only enemy I can fight consists of three plants. If I choose to attack, one of them kills me instantly. If I choose to defend, two of them kill me. All other options are empty… Am I missing something?
Uh oh, big mistake on my part. A bug sets the player to a wrong starting position. Thanx for telling me, I will update this ASAP! Expect an update later today!
Edit: Fixed. Same Link! Thanx again
Don’t mention it… Okay, sorry. Next problem. Inside the volcano when I talk to a certain fiery guy, I get the error message “Unable to find file Graphics/Faces/Monster”, then the game is shut down.
I’ll fix that. In the meantime, use this: http://i444.photobucket.com/albums/qq168/grandmadeb_rmvx/VXMonsters3.png
It is not the real graphic, but if you save it in the folder mentioned above as Monster.png it should work!
Okay, that worked, thanks. Is this the end of the demo for now?
Not in the slightest! The demo ends much, MUCH later!
Okay, I’ve searched every nook and cranny of this Benhaly shrine at least three times, but I can’t seem to find a way to the second switch. Everything is blocked off. I know where it is. I’ve seen it from two angles, but unless there’s a way to blast through walls it’s no go.
there are three switches. and not all staircases lead to the right place. i reccomend on trying down left and up right^^
I hope I don’t spoil too much here…
Down left leads to a dead end though. There’s one of these blocks that only move in one direction, and it won’t budge from the one direction I can get at it. Up right leads me further and further up until I’m in front of a locked door with a lever on the other side that I can’t get to. The only way out there is the warp stone.
thats because down left is not a dead end
Well, if you say so. The block won’t move, there’s nothing hidden behind any of the pillars, no false walls I could find… If the end isn’t dead, it seems to be at the very least terminally ill.
There is no movable block in Benhaly Shrine. There is a very easy to spot blue switch you step on you are missing. Entrance, down left, first floor, up, staircase, second floor, up, right, staircase and you are right at the blue switch that opens the door to the lever in the fourth floor
The block is there. On the second floor in the narrow passage right by the stairs I came from. I can’t get past it, so I can’t get down to the switch.
can you make me a screenshot of that? because i havent placed a block anywhere in the entire temple?
There are actually several blocks placed in strategic locations. Most of them I can pass by though. Sure, if I know where to send them, I can make you screenshots. I don’t have any webspace to post them online.
use imageshack or send them to ezekiel-rage at hotmail dot com
Got your mail, thanx for the time you took for these. I checked everything and realized that you are so right and i am so wrong, it hurts. Sorry for that. You will find an update on my server, just re-download the file. I removed some old obsolete blocks and re-edited those that stayed, making it possible now to complete the dungeon. And in case you are wondering, teh demo ends at a certain plot point by returning you to the title screen, so once that happens you know you are through^^
