I just saw that the download link had been updated to version 1.0.0.57, but all download links still download version 1.0.0.35.
I hope this gets fixed so we can try the new version.
Later!

Hello all,

I've released a new version of a demo of this game.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/e810tsi1h2twg … 5.zip?dl=0

I've been working on a lot of internal stuff, stability issues, and graphics, but I've also updated the accessibility function somewhat to work with it. I'll be posting more updates as I go along; please let me know what you think and suggestions to improve this functionality.

Please note: there is one section of the game that has 0 accessibility yet - the RGBShell at a computer. It's in Mark's house. If you manage to talk to it, you can leave by pressing escape.

In regards to the battle system, I've made things a lot more streamlined. I'm currently working on building out archetypes for the color battle system. Basically, red/green/blue values range from 00 to FF and depending on what stat you want to boost is whether you want a certain value to be 00 or FF. It is represented visually but understanding how to actually utilize the battle system requires basically the same memorization of value combinations with stat boosts.

Note: the demo link does NOT have accessibility mode enabled. Go to the config.ini file in the unzipped folder and change the lihe

access=0

to

access=1

Sorry that I've not been active, I've been very busy and very stressed out. Hopefully this makes up for it though. smile

Hi.
There is a bug in game menu.
When I am pressing enter during game play I see options like game options save game view your inventory etc, but I can not confirm any of these options by pressing enter or anoter key and I can not go out of this menu.
I can only hold escape in order to leave the game

It should use the SAPI voice that's currently set for your settings in windows but let me know if there are issues.

The world will have 8 major areas and will involve finding 22 survivors from the disaster. It will be pretty big but focus more on puzzles and the like instead of just exploration. Game structure wise I would say it's closest to the cult series Suikoden - you collect characters across the world and gain their services as you recruit them to your castle, and the goal is to find all the characters. Talking to them is also an important part of gameplay and is how most of the story is told; in complete versions I expect to have a lot of moves based on how high your friendship with the main character is.

You can confirm with Z and exit with X. If this doesn't work please report more information so I can investigate.

hmmmm suikoden... I don't know how mutch I miss that game, haha
I just could play suikoden  II and got a good ending, and then my  playstation 1 go boom before I even collect all of the 108 Stars of Destiny sad
and then begin from suikoden 3 and 4, the game is on 3d, so yeah, I can't play it.
this project is intristing even the battle system sounds complicated, but oh well, I should really try this one big_smile
seriously, good luck for this game, am looking forward on it

2016-08-26 04:39:09

Hmm, sorry, is it me, or this update is not sapi compatible? I might be missing something. Can someone help?
Best regards, Haramir.

have you turn  the  accessibel mode on?

2016-08-26 14:48:15

In terms of the battle strategy - what I've found that is most effective is to try to get a color that has all values be either 00 or FF, or close to those values.

So for example, Red is FF0000, and that means it boosts your stats the most. But it only boosts Attack, Magic and Agility, so Defense, Resistance and MPR are lower than normal. Each combination has a unique combination of stats.

The Red values correspond with Defense/Attack, the Green values correspond with Magic/Resistance, and the Blue values correspond with Agility/MPR.

This leads to 8 basic archetypes based on each combination. However, most of them are not accessible in the demo (just 2). There's also a 9th archetype, Grey (7F7F7F) basically clears out any color bonus you or your enemy might have, which essentially levels the playing field.

Dude, have you even attempted to play a demo or anything?

I'm seriously expecting you to ask "is this a game called Colors?" or something equally inane. You're infamous for asking questions that very very clearly display your laziness and ignorance at the same time. You did it half a dozen times or so in the Manamon thread, just for starters.

Check out my Manamon text walkthrough at the following link:

Flame_alchemist - most modern games do not use a readme file outside of helping set up the game. While this function is incomplete, on most menus you can press F1 to hear which key corresponds with what. You can navigate the whole game with just z,x, space, enter, the directional keys and backspace (rarely). The additional keys are for referencing various stats and other game information, similar to Braillemon.

Currently I'll be holding off donations until I start my next kickstarter. My last one failed but it was a lot earlier in development. Expect something down the line in a few months. I'm still gathering art assets, writing music and promotional material. These last few months have been almost straight development.

If you are adamant about donating now, you can donate through braillemon's donation link, it'll lead to the same person. But I'd rather hold it off for later because if I can get the funding for the full kickstarter this could be a game that could have a much greater potential to be successful in the mainstream market.

New update: https://www.dropbox.com/s/t6z5f6g632l26 … 2.zip?dl=0

In terms of accessibility, I added a new feature that as you approach a wall you hear a sound when you get really close, along with the footsteps from previous versions. Most updates were mainly functional/visual though.

I've had to rush this one out a bit so let me know if there's any weird problems in this one. The old one is still up if you want to play that as well. Some of the new items (chromo-rule/books) are probably kind of shaky in the access department, I've released it a bit early because I start my job tomorrow.

Known accessibility issues:

-Books only allow you to read to the top of the last page. This is due to the way I coded books, I will be adjusting this accordingly.

I'm glad development of this is still going even though that first kickstarter failed! I'll download the latest version and check it out. I dunno if there's any new content but it'd be nice to see if there is.

2016-10-06 15:02:04

Okay, so I was happily playing my new copy of the game when I found that I could not get into the woods east of Mike's house's area. I can't seem to go further east than x1370, and if I walk along the eastern border for long enough, the grass sound is replaced by floor sound when I take a step, even on places I know are grass.. I find this just a little sad. Are the eastern woods barred to us now or is this a bug? Or am I just missing something?

2016-10-07 03:01:00 (edited by daigonite 2016-10-07 03:02:15)

Barred off right now. Building out most of the engine first. Basically each of the characters you can recruit has a utility in the character hub. Some of the features includes a battle sim, a library, shops, bestiary, ect.

The collision stuff is weird, I'm rebuilding it. A friend of mine helped me build a new model lol. I just haven't implemented it yet since I started my new job.

Oh, okay, that's fine then. Was just wondering. smile
Glad you have a new job! big_smile

Hello all,

I've somewhat neglected updating this thread as much as the facebook page. Here's the most recent update:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/jb1egzszn06wn … 3.zip?dl=1

Note that I found a fatal error earlier today so this link will probably be updated tonight. Sorry for the inconvenience. If you are afraid of crashes, this version is more stable:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/drsdc646m83bp … 0.zip?dl=1

I update my facebook page weekly at minimum, check it out here: https://www.facebook.com/colorschromodynamics2016/

This will probably be more up to date than this thread. Enjoy!

For your information, I plan on trying to do another kickstarter around February or March. I want to try to get a full release by August 2019 - both on Steam and more accessible clients.
