Hello everyone,

After months of sweating, breathing very heavely and after a few headaches when I was wondering how to solve a problem with this game. your_adventure alpha 3 has been released.

below i will post the change log, it is a pretty long one, around the 22 changes and additions so we hope you pick something to drink while you read this changelog:

changes from alpha version 2 to alpha version 3

- got rid of the displayed hp of your fishing pole. this isn't the case anymore so it will be a surprise when your pole breaks and becomes useless. everyone likes a surprise tongue
- gave the character information a complete overhaul and redisign. this includes a window where you can view your skill levels, where you can view your achievements and inventory. (more about the last two below)
- added a few achievements you can achieve, in fishing, gambling, combat and cooking.
- added an inventory system in the character information.
- added the possibility to cook your catched fish and gain experience in that skill.
- added the possibility to eat the fish from your inventory, when you have the max amount of hitpoints you can't eat them.
- added the tavern where you can cook the fish, rent a room for a small amount of gold and your hitpoints and energy will be restored and the game will be saved as well.
- moved the gambling kobolt from the dalgrim screen to the tavern screen. (game is still the same).
- removed the healers tent, this one is useless with the tavern in it's place, thus helga needs to find another job tongue
- added a lot of new music, to give you that real rpg feeling. the music is donated by brian kurosawa, thanks a lot smile
- moved the save option to the character information.
- added an option in the character information so you can exit the game. right now you will get a warning that the progress will not be saved when you answer yes. thus first save the game when you want and after that you can exit the game fine. at first this was a exit the game in the dalgrim screen and it didn't gave you any warning.
- added a system of seasons.
- based on this system of seasons there are ticks added. every action takes one tick.
- added your birthday. your birthday happens on a fixed tick and you will get a year older and you'll get a present.
- changed the age system, you aren't able to fill out your own age anymore, now the game will generate an age between 18 and 25 for you.
- when you reach the age of 65 you will get to old for adventuring and the game is over.
- added a sound for the birthday's wheel of presents.
- added an energy system, every activitie or tick that passes by, takes a certain amount of energy, when you run out of energy, every action you take after energy hitting zero will lower your hp by 1, so you can die when you don't take care of your energy
- added a quest what is repeatable in the tavern.
- added an seperate script to the game what resets the used variables back to default after exitting the game to start a new game.
- updated the save and load scripts.

Now i will post the link to download this version, in the upcoming weekend i will update the website:

hello,

this is an update to the website. from now on we aren't known as visionproductions anymore. this is due to prevent name conflicts since it seems that visionproductions was already a known name.
from now on we are known as nonvisiongames and our new website can be found here:

http://www.nonvisiongames.nl

we have intergrated mikeschipper.nl also to this place, so mikeschipper.nl will be history in a few days too.

The new version of the your_adventure game has been placed to the downloads section of the website of nonvisiongames.

hello i love your game but i couldn't find anything regarding the wood cutting where is that thanks

2015-03-04 22:32:44

Hi,

I think woodcutting is not in the game yet, it's just an example in the readme file. Maybe cooking should be mentioned in there instead, since thhis is in the game now.

And I really like it too! I'm looking forward to see what this will become in some time.

2015-03-04 22:34:02

Hello catfish,

woodcutting hasn't been build in yet. the four activities are now: combat, fishing, cooking and gambling. Our plan is including woodcutting and harvesting, firemaking and camping within the next release what will take time.

Glad you like the game. smile

hi

@tikkie,

You are probably right. i will change it in the read me file.

i am currently working on a combat system what we can use later on in the game and what will make combat more interesting. with the rats getting random amounts of hitpoints for this version.

Thanks for your positive replies. makes building this game worth the affort.

wow can't wait for the next version really love the game

2015-03-05 09:16:12

Hello.

Please add more sounds to the combat system, for example sound of falling rats or throwing shurikens. Please add swords and more creatures.

Thanks, Vojta.

2015-03-05 18:41:10 (edited by pelantas 2015-03-05 18:44:45)

hello,

I have desided to build some more patches before we will go over to a full blown release. i have tweaked some things in the code, what enables that the combat script can be used later on in the game. i have added two extra creatures:

- a floathing piece of toilet paper
and
- an enchanted mushroom
they are given both descriptions and both a range of minimal and max hitpoints. i have found two sounds what will indicate the throwing of a shuriken and the final blow to a creature. before i will release the patch, i have to show te found sounds to one of my sound designers. or you as the community would like to have the game without the two sounds included?
than i will publish the sounds later.

It is up what you as the community wants.

I haven't added a sword yet. but i am also not sure if i want a sword included. since i want to add a system where your minimal and maximal damage will raise when your combat level raises. and bonus experience for more difficult creatures. so via thisway a weapon becomes near useless.
since why should you want to fight with a knife or a sword when you can defeat a enemy with your bare hands? when you train in real life you become stronger, that is the system i want to implement in this game to, and when you become stronger, you don't need a weapon that much to destroy something.

with this two creatures included it will become some more difficult to find the rats you should beat up to fulfill the quest given by the bartender.

BEWARE! the system checks if you have fought a rat before it will grand you one point of progress ithin the quest. fighting a mushroom won't grand you any points in the quest.
makes the quest some more challenging.

I will await the answers about the patch if the community wants it with the two sounds or if the sounds can be posted later.

Hi,

it would be great if the sounds would be included before the patch. I like sounds for stuff, and I'm not that impatient that I couldn't wait for them. big_smile

Hi,

I have thought about your problem naruto, but i realised that i haven't used a command that gives your cpu some breath frequently. i have placed this command in the various activities and the tavern so your cpu will get more breath and hopefully it will solve your problem.

this will come along with the patch.

hello all,

it toke some more time than i expected. but after struggling with the website and after taking it down for some research for what we want with it is the patch of your_adventure ready:

changes from alpha version 3 to alpha version 3.1

- updated the read me file, there was an activitie that hasn't been included yet, the audiogames.net community pointed out that that could be misleading. apart from that the read me file hasn't been updated.
- added two extra opponents in the sewers.
- the encounters are random n the sewers.
- made a change in the quest. at first was the system that you will get a quest point for every creature you kill in the sewers. it should be stated that at that time all the creatures were rats. right now, after a kill the system will check if the creature was a rat before it grands you a quest point. makes the quest some more challenging.
- added random amounts of gold that could be found for the three creatures available.
- added a looting system. after you found the gold you will find with a kill, you can find, a small potion, a large one, a shuriken or some extra gold. beware there is a 33% chance you will find one of these.
- added editfields with the gambling kobolt, the old fisherman and the shop so you can order or sell or bet your own amounts of items as long as you have the gold for it.
- added variables for minimal damage hits and maximal damage hits. these will raise when your combat level raises.
- added a sound when you throw a shuriken and a sound when you finish off a creature.
- made the shop a seperate location so you won't turn back to dalgrim when you purchase something. you have to press the leave the shop option before this will happen.
- fixed the bug what prevented you from leaving the tavern.
- updated the save and load scripts.

i have placed a link to the patch in the first post. i have also added an instructions file hwere you can read how you can patch the game.

hello all,

We from nonvisiongames are very surprised that our topic is viewed this much. but from time to time i get a email notification with the anouncement included taht the dropbox links are disabled from time to time due to the much traffic we get via this links.

So when you get a dropbox 505 error don't panic the links will be up in a few hours again.

hello all,

After debating with myself about the question how i will fix the downtime of the dropbox links i posted earlier i think i have a solution.

A few weeks ago i purchased myself a NAS, in short, a server for my home.

i have uploaded the two files (the main games folder and the patch to alpha 3.1) to that NAS and i have created two new links and placed these in the first post.

The advantage to this is that the server where the files are hosted now is much more stable.

Appologies if you had trouble with our downtime.
