lol I don't even know where I'm going in the beta of this game

Hi.
is this dle?
if so, i don't think i will be buying this one, sorry. but i tryed it and it doesn't seam to be my kind of thing.but saying that, if you say oyu can update your stats then hmm i might give it a go. because i don't think you could in the beta vertion.

Hi.
lol the console thing is great!
do you mean the thing with dbz and otherthosetoother games?
oh yeah one doesn't work. but i think it is quite cool.

hi
how can i slow down the speed of the sapi?

Hi.
I've tried the beta version, and found it confusing because each time I started the game with the same character, I was starting at a new place. So I never really got used to the game, but I'll give it a try again.

I think I will update the readme in the beta, thanks for reminding me.
You save games by talking to Abato. He only appears in one place other than the random maps, but most everyone will need to go to the random maps eventually. (I think he might randomly appear atop cliffs that you can climb, but if so it's rare enough that I've forgotten for sure).

The full version adds skills, cleans up a few small bugs, and allows you to select a sapi voice. The overall functionality is pretty much the same, though there is much more content in the full version.

lol, at this point I think I'm willing to exchange it for abandonning of academic integrity. ^_^

Neah, I'd recommend trying to get better with the demo before going for the full version, anyway. Though there's a general tendency for things added since the demo to be slightly less obscure (except for maybe that one thing involving a grapplinghook at a place where you wouldn't expect a grapplinghook...).

The random maps are a pretty important chunk of the game, but I did try to design the intro stages for each character so that they would make it easier to get into the story events without having to spend too much time on the random maps.

Oopse! soory I didn't realize this was so complete. I'll deffinately write up some news and a db page when I've tried it, indeed I well might buy this myself, as other than a rather complex story and some wonky timing issues, I very much liked the beta version.

Well hopefully having some news will help publicize the availability of the game and let everyone who wishes to buy it do so.

I'll try the beta myself later today and see how it works, ---- though you might consider at some point making a more uptodate demo version that has the features of the full version, but stops after a short time, ---- sinse i'm not sure how complete the beta is both in terms of story and in terms of features.

I also hope the current version is a little more complete in terms of story than the javascript one, sinse while I enjoyed that, I do remember being incredibly confused as to what I should b doing.

The readme in the beta I got from the above link seems to have a fairly complete keylist, however I'm still a little confused myself.

Firstly, the x for examine key doesn't seem to be working, when I want to examine stuff nothing happens. Then, hitting l seems no different from shift L if I want the long description again.

I'd also quite like an explanation of combat, sinse thus far I'm getting a trifle confused with that.

I started with kisuki, ran into a massive fight and got beaten up, (mostly because the sounds wee too loud to let me here the sapi messages and a hole bunch of messages with six crooks seemed to happen all at once).

I believe I've now set sapi to speak all, so presumably everything will be spoken, however I still! end up running into fights with multiple opponents and losing.

I also tried a game with spectro, but after a very hard battle with a crook and a laugh assassin (yes, that was what he was called, craziness!), I finally defeated them, accept the game told me they were still there and fighting and they ended up winning.

Sinse there is no combat section in the current readme, I'm at the moment slightly unsure how combat works, not the least whether it's supposed to be turn based like entombed, or real time like a mud.

The game looks great, and I especially like the look of randomized maps etc, however perhaps the beta needs a little expantion if it is to be a playable demo for a commercial game, ---- or at least have a reasonably comprehensive readme.

I'll go and give it another try, and probably will end up paying for the game if I can determine just what is going on with it.
