BUG: Still have that "Cannot read property of undefined" possibility when it's still just Richard, Lester and Janice.

Seeing if I can get two level ups from 1 fight... Yes. No problems there! Needed to Ultima a Lucky Carded Black Knight with Janice though. On that note, the "Ray" line of spells: bouns > bonus

What controls how much ECN it takes to cancel an encounter?
----
Downloaded! ... Okay, the inability to Potion inactives makes how they take damage on levelling a bit more annoying, but again, probably just a demo thing.

Also not sure what's going on with the mega long line. Somehow typed a linespace?

Woo! Food! At least it's something to eat, although it's pretty bland and stuff. And hopefully there's other things that grow to supplement!

And at least the snow means that water's easy to get! ... And digging deep unlocks more heat for growing stuff!

May your work get easier!

Umm... There seems to be a lotta spelling issues, but at least everything's readable!

I will need equipament > I will need equipment

Sr. Smith: Slime aren't dangerus > Sr. Smith: Slimes aren't dangerous

Heh, Sra. Smith being glad! ... After, I think "receive" was spelt wrong...

Empty. Bottle: Can storage strange liquids > Empty Bottle: Can store strange liquids

Daggar > Dagger

Lol funny first quest! Woo! Seeing 3 of the 5 screenshots!

Good reason to avoid Aura! And can't go back after reverting! hehe! Ooh, Slime Jelly and regular jelly are different!

Ooh! Cool! Redrawing a regular RTP monster in your own style! ... Bil > Bill ... Woah, color change! And heh status change! Banner image makes sense now too! Slime-based biomorphing! Reminds me of https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/33491/slime-girl

Heh, deliveries. Jelly Belly Elly puns! Woo! Uh, probably shouldn't sleep face down, probably would be better face up? / back down? Ooh, yep, color is intentional! Aww! Speech! Woah, terrifying / scary backstory! Cheery music. heh. Also Orange is now a status effect! Woo! Glad I checked the cake! And looking back at save 1, cool! It changes! ... Okay, probably bombarded you with enough questions. Maybe I'll join the Discord for all this indepth stuff instead!

Actually, maybe after people start chatting in there tomorrow. Lacto Chapel bottom left: Workshiper > Worshipper? Lol Lacto. ... Then again, could get Mother of a Thousand Young creepy. Probably not. ... Oh, I just saw Lacto. I thought it was just background art! Ha!

Holy shit, it's been, what, less than a day, and the Carn Slime already got to the capital maybe? It moves FAST!

Yay! I can pacifist until Big Blue! Now at level Goo!

Spoilers so putting this low... And padding out the space needed with typo checks.

After eating all that Jelly, I'm not sure if Elly's shirt should be blue or the more purply in the itch.io screenshot.

When's the earliest impact of the censorship option? I'm trying both versions to see what changes, and I'm losing track of which file is which.

Woo! El-protag! Woo! Slimes! Heh, slightly reminds me of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_World,_My_Way_(video_game)

Pretty opening screen and good opening question! Lol tiny text. gonna try the other option to see what happens! No difference! Heh! Ooh, history! ... Maybe somehow put a note saying "hold confirm to speedup text"? Good thing I tried!

Fun narrator name!

dowloaded > downloaded

Also the "skip" should explain what I'm skipping?

Lol closet. Taking diary should probably remove it? And can't use it immediately. hmm.

Bath: saturday > Saturday

Gosh, so many fun descriptions, more motivation to make that trope. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/article_history.php?article=Administrivia.TropeIdeaS...

Congrats on being ~35th top rated, but 2nd most popular right now in the Slime tag!

For other tags, try Female Protagonist, JRPG, RPG Maker

Too bad we can't do HTML in comments?

Oh, I found a false pattern! Pattern Spoilers:

I thought the Guardians were like Minotaurs, but instead of 1 space away from a Chest, they were 2 spaces or something.

I mean Top Right second row, the 7, the Guardian, the guy with the sword and shield. its position usually indicates something, but I can't tell what this one's supposed to be telling me.

Ooh, I didn't notice Bomb Stopper is holding a bomb until now!

Woo! More languages! Better map!

Given how important, or is it? Preserving healing scrolls are, healing scrolls that come from chests should have some mark for it, given how monsters behave because of chests?

I think I messed up once because I forgot one of the scrolls came from a chest instead of being initially there?

You got a Ars Technica article! Congrats! https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2025/02/dragonsweeper-is-my-favorite-game-of-2025...

The inactive and already fully-healed members, so they don't basically get hurt just because they level up.

But, the demo is a special case, normally the player wouldn't have the same set of inactives for... 5+ levels without ever going back to heal, I guess?

Won the updated version with 349 instead of the complete 362. Not having played the previous version would've helped, because I thought killing the dragon would've ended the game. I almost won once, after killing everything but the walls but not enough HP for the dragon! heh

Thanks! Gonna download after breakfast!

EDIT: Downloaded. Swapping out my last 2 members to see if I can get all of my party to Unite. Seems good.

But it seems level ups don't regenerate HP? It probably should if they're not part of the fighting group and are already healed up, but eh.

Woah, thanks for teaching me more about the game!

Fyi, Monsternomicon updates with how many monsters are remaining, so you don't have to remember that?

Can't download latest version. Just one change I'd really like is that Heart Scrolls show the number below them if I encounter them at full HP, but I guess that's part of resource planning! Won the previous version, so I'm trying to avoid Heart Scrolls for as long as I can. Tough that way.

Yay! May pressure let up!

Oh, so Brill probably isn't a princess. I guess? Returning to Castle Evrandel again, I guess. Well, not like Brill's going across the sea to new continents, the Crystals and Orbs are all here.

Yay for smart kings!

Cool! Thanks for the heads up!

Yeah, sad at Flash going down, but at least there's still Ruffle and Flashpoint, if you ever wanna use it for some reason.

Surprised at my speed? I just refresh itch.io when I'm bored. Or was it because I was looking for https://pixlwalkr.itch.io/iridescent

Which needs Kongregate, Flashpoint or Ruffle?

Yay less lag! Woo less immediate difficulty!

Cute image~!

Thanks for the clear report! Good luck with coding!

BUG? "Getting the "beyond here lies" message doesn't encounter cancel, and it follows me into the battle menu, and then says "enemy emerged" as well.

Probably not relevant unless you're gonna use the feature outside of the demo.
...
Reentering Quasha Caves at least, regens chests? Not sure if intentional.
...
Trying to enter the caves to the right of Quasha (Cevik Heights?) doesn't give a prevention message?
...
Dimel Commander:

Black Knight: News of it's defeat > News of its defeat

plauged with witches > plagued with witches
...

"Opening a chest should, in fact, perform an encounter cancel."

Yeah, I didn't mean on the 0-frame, just that it encounter-canceled.
....

"You can fast-forwarding any in-game text message text by holding CTRL and/or ALT. This method is true across any MZ game I’ve made, more or less. Knowing this should alleviate this issue somewhat for future plays. An alternate solution would be to remove level-up messages entirely, but, I don’t exactly feel good about that alternative?"

I just mash Confirm (X), queuing all the level ups so they don't take up only one line of a box that can hold 4 would be what I expected? Especially since I do want to know who did(n't) level up.
....

However, it might also behoove me to remove the Rune slots from the optimize method entirely. Either of these options would mean making exceptions in the code, and I’ve doubts one method would be strictly “easier” to do than the other.

Oh, well, good luck. In-case removing runes from the optimization is easier, it'd be better to do that, because the optimization is less clear with all the spells / techs available?

Thanks for the update! Good to know you feel better now!

Nice! Took 2 days with a sleep break! 303~!

The checkpoint after the second switch door seems a bit too easy to trigger, I didn't even touch the new ground or something and could get the new point?

The walls seem way too frictiony? And sometimes, when doing two full sword charges in quick succession, my second charge doesn't push me much?

And resetting, I don't want to reset to Sword, I want to keep my form because of that, also I like Pistol more?

And now I seem to have shot the 3 door puzzle too-much and froze the game. Going 1-2-3 is too hard because the ground is too frictiony to get back up fast enough, maybe. And/ Or I'm bad at angling to get to 2 fast enough.

Thanks!

When I hit "New Game", it asks if I wanna overwrite. Do I have a save I dunno about?

Gonna check if I can run the updated version, after breakfast. Thanks for the update no matter how it goes!

BUG? Opening a chest as the Encounter Timer hits 0 stops encounter?

BUG: Was messing in the Party Formation menu with the first three characters: Use all three, navigate to an empty space, then try to back out and got "Type Error: Cannot read property 'isHidden' of undefined"

BUG: Holding down when scrolling through the characters list doesn't update the stats.

BUG: Unites should lock out overlaps, right? My part of: Lester, Massaki, Richard. Nari, Vince, and Sue can do all three of Dark Sun Bandits, Brothers of the Blade, and Returning a Favor / Rivalry?

And using Best Friends, Family Attack, and then selecting Golden Triangle and backing out stops Massaki from selecting any Unites anymore.

And everyone levelling up on its only text box is taking a while.

Question: Why is Optimize favoring Sue to have the Vile Rune over the more comprehensive Devil Rune?

Typos at bottom.

And it worked! 3616 more EXP if I wanna hit LV 5. So close to two-shotting Soldiers! I think I might stick it out, also test that Panacea and Potions are healing right. ... And LV 5 doesn't increase damage?? Aww. Only Lv 6 gets me 17 damage...

Actually, it's hard to tell on the screen how much HP is my max for optimal Panacea / Potion usage?

Can you make the game not pause when off-focus? Battle Animations are annoying long when grinding 30 enemies, lol. Probably a sign I shouldn't be doing that.

And I missed a chest in the first area? Huh. Woo! Another Lucky Card! Now I really wanna use it on the 2 "bosses"! ... Okay, so the chests actually refreshed with the update, for some reason?

Ooh, finally landed my first hit on a Dark Sun Bandit with a LV 6 Fire. If a Slash isn't supremely better, such a battle is basically unwinnable! HA! Nevermind, gonna give up. LV 6 is enough.

Lester's Geo and Janice's Recover should both bouns > bonus

All element Runes serieses except First Aid: Inbues > Imbues

Omnisicence Rune > Omniscience Rune

Omnipotence Rune: techquines > techniques

Oh, on the MZ front, then I've got nothing then. https://waldorf.itch.io/respawn-banter works for me, but having an HTML version might be different.

Got any other MZ games you wanna recommend so I can test try to pin down my issue?

Look it up, first step is to get it in the Wayback Machine, and having Linux would be easier but not required.

Well, not sure what happened, but can't run Zilif anymore on my Windows 10, but can run https://doctorspacebar.itch.io/ruphand-an-apothecarys-adventure

And both are RPG Maker MV, IIRC, so not sure what's going on. Probably something about Windows updating.

Only got an Optional update waiting for me, gonna see if that fixes it.

2025-01 Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 10 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5050081)

Don't seem to help. Gonna try Linux Steam Proton. Nope on that front too, even though it does also work for Ruphand...

Sorry I'm not playing the demo!

For now, when uploading a new file on itch.io:

• Uploading a file with the exact same name will:
  • Replace the previous one
  • Keep the stats (download count)
  • Temporarily make that download unavailable, while it's being uploaded (known issue)
• Uploading a new file and deleting the old one will lose the stats, but there'll be no downtime.
  • Don't forget to tag it with the right platform again
  • Alternatively, 'hiding' the old download will allow you to keep the stats for a while.

Needless to say, this process isn't ideal for often-updated games, and we recommand using butler instead.

You're welcome! A tip for anything like the modern Castlevania-s, is just grind levels.

I haven't beaten Portrait either, but that's because I'm just playing other things.

Have fun game making!

Ooh, big maze! At least the stairs are a landmark? And the sections are clearly different shapes!

Sure looks dark and menacing! Also blood-red vein-y tree-y things!

Woo progress! May there be less delays in future!

Congrats on making another thing!

I really should stop playing Ecclesia Hard Mode, but I'm almost at the halfway then it's smooth sailing. Really. Gotta be. Can't be that much harder... Right?

What's the update about? Still gotta play the Respawn update...

"the more complicated stuff is done." Woo!

Lol goblins and bombs. Lol goblins in a fancy place.

"Goblin Sappers are among the guards in this fancy estate, which coincides with their boss investing in blast-proofing everything." Hehe! Smart!

"They're all about offense", so either I get really good at tanking, or hit them hard like they're planning for me? Woo turning tactics back!

Thanks for responding! Yeah, levelling up enough to beat the Bandits would be at least LV 5, a.k.a 30+ minutes of grinding IIRC. Not gonna do it unless they give tons of EXP, like 10K+?

Gonna check out the Bunker! Demon portals! Woo! Lol https://lukhash.bandcamp.com/album/magic-gateway
Oh, can't run on Windows 10? Wow, lucky I have Windows XP... somewhere? EDIT 2: Actually gotta allow it past security checks first. Tons of references! Fun! Loud!
https://lukhash.bandcamp.com/album/hongdae-single

And Another World comes from here... https://lukhash.bandcamp.com/album/the-other-side

Maybe I was thinking of Arcade Journeys with its speaker... Eh. Weird uses 6 different LukHash songs and none are Hongdae so maybe it was something else else like Luxaren Allure. Whatever, good music! Thanks for motivating me to find links, and woo some LukHash stuff is free!

Gonna play this and actually continue the plot after lunch or something! Breakfast now lol

Woo updates!
