Probably just need to unzip the rar file, or you're on a mac or something.

Maybe someday, for now unfortunately you'd have to use something like Wineskin.

oh... so that what the issue was. Should be fixed now. I didn't even know there was an itch.io client. 

Technically not support because its not going to install it for you, it will just download the rar file like it is supposed to.

There will be an update someday, get hype for Hopeless in the meantime

Hi,

I don't know why people have a problem downloading the game (probably virus protection blocking a download and people don't notice?) and while I appreciate an alternative download link that works for folks, I can't let people leave unofficial download links in the comments due to them easily being tampered with or dangerous no matter how trustworthy. So I have to delete this one. 

I'll add my own alternate download link to the game description.

Sorry dude all I can suggest is Wineskin for now

Sorry, not too interested in doing this. It's been a while after all. There's some resources around and on the discords if you want some information on making a fangame.

Have you tried using the Old Launcher?

Was it a recent Win10 update that caused this? Because I hadn't heard of it being caused by the OS before. Really disappointing.

If MKXP isn't working on Windows 10 there's not a lot I can offer you sadly, I don't know of any fixes. Maybe compatibility mode for Windows 7 if you haven't tried that.

Unfortunately no, VX Ace games don't have the capability to be played on android devices.

Does it create a save file in the first place? Try saving the game, then look in the game folder for a save file. If there is one, try backing it up. If there isn't one after you save at a crow, extract the RAR file, your computer doesn't have permission to actually create the save files otherwise. You can also try running as an administrator but I doubt that's the problem. If none of these things work, I'm not sure what to do.

Of course I would appreciate translations of the game. I'd need an organized document of all dialogue, item text and battle text in order of appearance (knowing how to decompile and view the RPG Maker project file on your own would be best for this, otherwise you'll have to play through the game), and then I'd need another neutral, fluent person to verify the translation to see if it comes across the same.  Get in contact me if you go through with this and finish it so you can send me the document and I can include anything you might have missed. (PM on discord is probably the best way, although I may be slow to respond on there at first.)

Everything you need to play the game on Windows is provided with the download. Just run the hopeful.exe - and if that doesn't work, there is a folder called 'Old Launcher' that may help fix the problem.

That's odd, try running it in Windows 7 Compatibility Mode maybe?  Have you tried running other RPG Maker games? Also, give the old launcher a shot (follow the instructions provided in the folder)

Try Wineskin(?) people have reported success with it.

Again, it'd be a lot of work for you. I'd need an organized document of all dialogue, item text and battle text in order of appearance (knowing how to decompile and view the RPG Maker project file on your own would be best for this, otherwise you'll have to play through the game), and then I'd need another neutral, fluent person to verify the translation to see if it comes across the same.  Get in contact me if you go through with this and finish it so you can send me the document and I can include anything you might have missed. (PM on discord is probably the best way, although I may be slow to respond on there at first.)

Nothing as big as a certain fishy area in the Painful. Most places you can safely drop from are hinted by a flag.

At one point I did, but as of now I don't have any plans to make a sequel.

Lo siento. :(

(I will consider making translation patches should someone make a full transcript for me, but it'd take a lot of time for both of us.)

Oh hey, I got someone to play my game via a review and being a delicious meal. Not bad.

I appreciate the thought, but I'd rather not accept any donations as a result of this game. The best thing you can do is save your money for my next original project that may come sometime in the future. Thank you for playing.

I would however recommend you take a look at one of the game's musician's bandcamp page and consider picking it up to support him: https://jdubbs.bandcamp.com/releases

Might be. Try using the old launcher in the game's folder (instructions included in that respective folder). Also possible it may be an overzealous antivirus (but I've never heard of one having a problem with the game)

(1 edit)

Once BB stands up you should be able to walk around. If you're locked in place and your movement keys don't work then I'm not sure how that could happen.

Have you tried using the Old Launcher? Read the text-file in that folder of your game folder for more information.

Re-equip your guns

Extract the RAR file, your computer doesn't have permission to actually create the save files otherwise. If that's not the problem, then it must be a problem with your computer, because this issue has never cropped up before with anyone else.

Highly recommend this game, the amount of content put into it is unreal. The thought and effort goes beyond what one would expect in an RPG Maker game, but it just goes to show that you shouldn't judge something by the engine it's made in. As a developer in the engine myself, the things that HousekeepingGames has accomplished with this title in RPG Maker are really admirable. Definitely stands up there with any of the great RPGs like Earthbound and Final Fantasy. Get out your wallets and pick Jimmy up, it's well worth the price.

No plans for an official translation

I'd recommend asking on the Discord

Hopefully

MINOR SPOILERS:

The more overt choices to where the storyline branches are in the Sportsdome - responding to Lanks or Cyclops in a certain fashion will change the course of the story.

MAJOR SPOILERS (In case you want direct instructions):

To unlock one ending, respond to Lanks by picking all of the TOP (first) options in dialogue for EACH match. (Four times)

To unlock a different ending than that, respond to Cyclops by picking all of the BOTTOM (second) options in dialogue for EACH match. (Four times)

Incompatibilities and I haven't ported it over to Mac yet. But you can try using Wineskin, people have had some success with this.  http://wineskin.urgesoftware.com/tiki-index.php

Yeah the wiki is slowly being filled by fans, it ain't like a triple A game, it takes time. Regardless, just focus fire on Corpulent. Use buffs, firebombs, wear a rubber duck to not be Scared as much. You can do it.

The other endings are meant to be hidden fairly well.

Another choice can be made at the very first of the game. Play in Pain Mode again and speak with Rodriguez multiple times. This one is hard to find.

For the last and secret ending, play in Pain Mode. Run from the very first Yogurt Masters fight, collect the item he drops and then go find Artie Choke. Do not kill him - just give him the mags and then speak with him. Trade the item he asks for for a Toolbox. Then return to Rodriguez and you're set.

If you moved past that rock you'd die fall into a pit and die though. I recommend getting high and jumping around.

Of course

Fixed, thank you.

F1 doesn't work on the old launcher if that's the one you're using. Regardless, you shouldn't need to disable frameskip on the old launcher. If you're using the default launcher and F1 doesn't work, you might just be doing something wrong.

You have to extract the game first with a program like WinRAR
