Oh gosh I'm sorry you're going through this lol
You did figure the solution out as intended. You just have to enter the Misty Woods and follow the directions given in the poem (2 directions per line, 12 in total).
N N S W W E N W N E N N
Are you sure you didn't get anything wrong? Or maybe you're counting entering the first area as the first "north"?
I just crossed the area 2 times again to be sure, and it works fine.
New Game plus. It's a mechanic many RPGs have where, after you beat the game, you can restart while keeping your levels and inventory. I didn't intend the mechanic originally but added it on the full release so people can have revenge on all the fights they lost. There's a message after the credits explaining how it works.
also i whant to say that the game is Awesome! i was really surprise by how good the story was, for an rpg maker game. This is probably the best one i have ever played and will ever play, the charachters are really charming and they all have well maded personalities that feels realistic! As well of the humoristic side of the game and i can see how much effort you made by adding complete drawings, i don't know if you also made the monsters but if you did, i say that they are fantastic.
as for the story, the developpement of the characters can be seen as they grow from there experiences (confidence, love and trust) to each other!
i don't know how old you are, but keep up the good work its fantastic! i don't really know if there are really any downsides.. execept for the fact that its a pretty old style of 2d but its normal since you used rpg maker and you can't really change it so for me the game is the best rpg maker game :)!
(I hope you're not like 30 cuz that would be a bit creepy that in your free time you make love stories about a trans girl and catboy in there teenage years)
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed my little game! <3
Yes it did take quite a lot of work. I'm not sure if I would've manged if RPG maker wasn't such an easy engine to work with lol
It was also my very first game, as you can imagine. It was originally a novel I wrote at 18 as some sort of "lessons I wish I had learned when I was 15". It went through a few iterations and, after failing to publish it in my country, I decided to turn it into a game back in 2021. It almost became a visual novel, but I thought the RPG inspired setting would fit RPG maker well and... I guess it did xD
My next game is gonna be a metroidvania with Shida as the protagonist, and also have more focus on the gameplay part. Learning actual coding from scratch is being really painful but hopefully a playable demo will be out in a few months.
I'm 23 right now btw! I think it's normal for older artists to write stories with younger characters, especially if your target audience is young too, but I get what you mean. It does start feeling a little weird if you think too much about it lol
