Yeah, I know the story got cut in an awkward place and doesn’t fit the title too much. Next year I’m going to expand on this universe and try to make a better story.
Also thanks for the advice, starting with the ending is definitely a good idea. That way even if I didn’t have enough time to do all I wanted, I could write a scene to connect the ending to what I have and the story would be better. I’m absolutely doing the mini games last next year, they took too long and are a main reason I had to cut the story so much.
I know the title doesn’t really reflect the game too much, but in the original story I wrote, it was a perfect fit. For next year I hope to have more time and make a longer story in this universe.
Those crystals have been causing a lot of trouble… I should probably just change them to black and white if I ever do something like this again. About the quiz, what changes is that, depending on your grade, about 1 or 2 lines of dialogue are different when Harold asks Lucius about his day.
I had actually planned to implement a setting where the crystals were black and white instead, but I didn’t have enough time. I had to submit several days earlier because I was going on vacations and couldn’t take my computer.
Thanks for playing! First off, you weren't supposed to lose. I mean, I programmed the battle with the player lossing in mind, but you can win. Although the story progresses the same way even if you manage to beat them. Also, yes, you weren't supposed to be able to skip the Demon lord. Thanks to you, that bug is now fixed.
I need to ask, vibrant how? I just really don't get what you mean. On the other side, a little fun fact: the music on the plaza (map with the airship) is actually VX Ace's Town five with a little pitch adjustment, courtesy of MZ's music-picking settings. Another fun fact, you are the first person who liked Harold telling them "Hey, not this way!" on almost every map.
I can't tell you just how thankfull I am you told me the Demon Lord reappears. That is definitely not supposed to happen.
Finally, yes, I realized that bug only when reading the comments, so the "final" version still has it. Right now, I'm working on fixing all the bugs people have found and getting rid of all those typos only my family noticed. I'll upload a 0.3 version once the jam is over and I'm done fixing everything.
I did warn the fights were most likely terrible as I made the enemies in 10 minutes, though even if you lose the story is supposed to continue. Fight results just get you some different dialogue. Also, since I spent most of the time just writing the story, I created cheats so you can skip battles. In the options menu you can activate them, and Harold gets two skills called "Auto win" and "Auto death", in "Special", so you just play the story.
Thanks also for the bug report, I must have deleted that battleback when I was desperately trying to get Itch to upload my game.
So apparently I'm dumb and forgot to upload the latest version.
Since I'm late and disqualified anyway I'll put a link to it here, please play this version, the other one has some sad bugs.
