Hey there! Yeah, I envisioned each god having 2 or 3 different attack patterns but here is what happened: 

I was running out of time (development already extended for an extra year and I started to generate debts and frustrations lol), and the cart's memory was almost at its top (cannot surpass 4 megabytes for a GB project) so I decided to "hit two birds with one stone" and what I did was having the same programming and background with only the God's faces sprites changing, as well as some (very little) dialogue. This saved a lot of space in memory and in sanity ha ha ha.

Did you get the fifth god though? I went full nuts on that one. Once the first 4 are cleared go back to where the game starts and go inside the ruins around there for the "real" ending.

Thank you for the feedback, It has been noted and taken for the future! Cheers!

Thank you for giving it a chance, good to hear you enjoyed it! Your support and your words mean the world to us trying to open a way into game development. Thank you for sharing and for those amazing words. May glory find you every step you take, always!

Hi there! You fill my heart with happiness with this comment! Thank you so much for your purchase, it helps more than you think! I hope you continue to enjoy it for many hours and keep discovering things in it!

While there were hardware limits creating the game, to tell you the truth there were others that were programming skills lacking on my part, but hopefully those rough edges won't get too much in the way to enjoy the game completely.

Here is a discord link if you want to join, sadly there is no guide at the moment but I will gladly answer all questions in there. Have a great hunting and thanks again! Cheers!

Amazing work. Thank you for sharing. Very interesting process, it really payed off in the backgrounds and love the details added once you got the basic perspective traced. Amazing art for an amazing game.Congratulations! Can't wait for the full game!

Gameplay through Laris de Mahr dungeon +Boss

Thank you so much! I hope you get some smiles and lots of fun out of it! Let your path be full of glory!

Yes it does! Save state enabled (although not recommended), 3D game boy if holding start before selecting the game and color swap (from gray to green) by holding L+R and Y.

Thank you! And we've only just begun 🎶

Thank you for taking the time to post!

No is not! But you'll have to wait till the next one is revealed! A small excuse for you to go back into the game on the future ha ha ha. Enjoy!

Share any comments around the game. Good or bad, as long as they are constructive and give me feedback to become a better developer they are always welcomed! What did you like? What you did not like? What was really cryptic and did not understand?

Will read every single one of them! For glory!

Hello! So happy to hear that! Let me know everything about your experience! Where you got to, which dungeons you find and which god did you awaken! Also the good and the bad. Love to hear feedback to improve for future projects! Hope you get lots of fun out of it and thank you for the support!

Thank you so much! I was going for a minimal design to resemble titles in which the game was inspired (final fantasy adventure, dragon quest and zelda obviously ha ha ha) and saw that they too used the same idea of having a clean box art with just the logo. I think this design really shows what type of game to expect (relating to the titles previously mentioned).

And yeah! Nintendo Life review was awesome, the trailer was also covered by IGN like you mentioned before, everything to build up the hype not only for Glory Hunters but to the whole new game boy games have to offer.

We are pushing the GB games to new audiences with as much platforms (media) as we can to spread the word. All your support helps us a lot. Lets make the GameBoy games strong as ever!

Im still waiting on my copy tho, so reading your comments just get me even more excited for when it arrives!

So happy to know you liked it! I'm also glad that all rewards are starting to arrive!

Thats a bummer. Need to figure this so that it doesn't happen again. Send me a mail to gloryhuntersgame@gmail.com, ill send a key and see if that works.

You should be able to pay 2 more dollars to get it. If you ever try that out and you can't contact me and Ill send a code. Pretty new to itchio myself lol.

Thank you for posting it! I hope you enjoy the game even with its rough edges! Ha ha ha. For glory!

Ohh man, thank you for the support, its great to know you are liking the contents already! It means the world to read comments like this and just hope you get lots and lots of fun with it. All done for the love and nostalgia for the retro gaming scene. Have a blast and let glory find you in every single step!

Ha ha ha. You won't regret it if you do so and yeah, less grinding to do when you hop in to the full release! I hope despite all the annoying things you encounter, you have a great time with the game!

Yes it is. Im sorry to hear that! Will take that into account for future projects. I wanted to punish the player for dying, but I guess it got way out of hand ha ha ha. Thank you for sharing feedback and it is always welcomed! I hope you have a blast with the game even with those annoying details (because there might be more than one ha ha ha sorry!).

Thank you so much! Thank you, thank you.  I hope you get a lot of fun times with it and let me know your thoughts on the game. Always open to receive any kind of feedback to improve and grow as a developer :D

For glory!

Thank you! I just found about that 10 minutes ago and couldn't believe it! Im so happy and have no words! All these news are coming so fast ha ha ha. I really hope people enjoy the game and have a fun time with it. Thats all. Thank you for the words and support. For glory!

Follow the coverage and reviews here. Feel free to post links or videos which reviews the game.

Yeah. The isometric point of view is very appealing indeed. The idea of making an RPG like Super Mario RPG has always been on my mind, or even a spinoff of glory hunters using this view. Hopefully this idea can evolve into something playable and fun in the future. You never know! Ha ha ha.

Thank you for the wishes! I appreciate them!

Yep.. happened to me too. Want to make a video about it. I had to go back on every corner of my game changing from local to temporal when I had the chance (whenever someone asked you a yes or no answer and stuff like that). I also turned many of them to flags, and it was a nightmare because I had to keep track of them on an excel ha ha ha. This took months to fix. I also used a global variable that was shared among minigames or numbers that could be reset on init screen.

I discovered this issue when I realized the variables were rewriting themselves (I didn't know you could check how many active variables the game had).

I feel you, it was one of the most terrible feelings I had while scripting the game, because I knew the only "fix" was going back and redoing most of the interactions and stuff. A valuable experience that will not repeat itself. Local variables can turn your project into a nightmare, and temporal ones are your best friends (whenever you can use them of course) alongside with flags and using global variables multiple (and I mean a LOT) whenever you can.

God I could re live the feeling just reading your post. I shared my experience with my Kickstarter backers, but a proper video showing this tips needs to be done ha ha ha.

Im sorry it happened to you, but I also know you will never, NEVER ignore that issue in the future. The trauma can be huge ha ha ha. Cheers and best wishes on your project!

PS: Deactivate the "view connection lines" as well and get used to work without them, no matter if you are working on an old pc (like I did) or a PC master race moster machine (tested in a few). By showing them on your project you will start getting unbearable slowdowns with everything (including simple stuff as writing dialogue) and you won't be able to even select scenes anymore ha ha ha. "Flies away"

Ha ha ha, took forever right? Thank you for the cheers! I hope you find in it lots of fun. I can't wait to read your reactions and comments! Which path will you take and which kind of glory will you hunt? Rise!

Beautiful! Thank you so much for the content and amazing video! I hope you had fun!

Ha ha ha. Happy birthday! I already made a post on social media. Glory Hunters will officially release digitally in Itch on June 8th:

Hello Tyler! I will be making an announcement about the official release date for the digital version in the next few days. Had to fix a few small bugs, but I think the game is ready!

Amazing work Robert! Very fun experience. Definitely a must have for the GameBoy collection!

Your credit is included within the final release and I will update the info on the game's page as soon as possible! A copy of the final digital release will be sent to you in a few months. Thank you for creating such amazing fonts and sharing them with the world!

About to start open beta with kickstarter backers in search of bugs, typos and overall polish of the game. Im sorry the game has taken too long to cook, just making sure I deliver you a game doing my best. You can expect the game to be released within 2-3 months from now in itchio. Thank you for your interest and hopefully we will see you again in Glorianta!
