[Role Playing Game] Clash of the Elements

[Shapy]

that sounds promising ! Try to make 1 quest which is total bug free and exploit free aswell. (wont repeat / items can sold to somebody else ...) After that you can just check all other quests because you already have a bugfree one.

 

[MasterTrainer]

That I will do. Thanks Shapy =)

I won't let you people down!

Thank you readytoeat!! I hope you find this project fun and interesting!

 

[tony1509]

Please release ot faster. =]
(Re-trying the map.)

(Re-trying the map.)

I am doing my best as of this very moment to fix all the errors and bugs that are still in the project. Please wait for a few more days.

 

[tony1509]

Here it is.

You can see, Lumber Jack gathering lumber, but can take quest? Also taking quest from there don't disapper.
I'm sure he is enemy because you haven't add the forces yet.

The other one

I think it is untidy and...ugly as well. (In my opinion. Sorry about that. XD)

I can't find more because the limit of accpeting quest.
(Lazy is also a reason.)

The last thing is all the quests I also can't submit. (Complete?)
Ok, sorry for Chinese again.

 

[MasterTrainer]

You complete the quests always by pawning them to the required NPC. Even i can do this. It'll be in the video. Just wait 1 more week. =)

 

[MasterTrainer]

UPDATE: This is not much but I have fixed the message that shows "You can only take three quests at once" even though you are currently only taking one quest. And I have made the intro cinematic skippable. =)

EDIT: I also fixed the lumber jack problem and the night bane problem.

What do you mean won't repeat/items can be sold to somebody else? Can you explain?

 

[Vinz]

Non-repeating quests and the items can only be sold to the quest-giver NPC.

 

[MasterTrainer]

I don't know why that came up as a bug but it is fixed now.

Bug Reports

Okay, at MasterTrainer's request, I am re-reviewing Clash of the Elements.
First thing I noticed (that I didn't notice before) was the misspelling of distant in the map description. I also like the beginning cinematic, but seeing that it only serves to introduce the story and gives no 'important' information, I think it should be skipable. I like how you've made it impossible to click on the villagers. However, it seems as if you've given the player full map vision. And you've also given the player control of a creature named Night Bane. I'm very certain this is a mistake. Now, some other stuff. when accepting Villager Joe's quest, "Getting the Beast Pelts" is displayed on the screen, but in the quests it still says "Getting Rid of the Stags." Next, on the Hive Quiz, when the player is asked about "Who is the user of the year?" it begins with finally, even though there are two questions after. I'm also curious as to what the answer is to "which is the oldest dreadlord?" I've tried all four answers, yet none of them have been right. Actually, nevermind. It seems as if you have disabled experience gain. (Why?) I also can't find a way to complete the stag quest. Perhaps it is because I've killed 12 stags instead of 10? Your quest system still seems to be buggy. In an attempt to complete the stag quest, I accept Joe's quest again and it says "You can only accept 3 quests at once." Then, I go and complete another one of my quests and try to accept the quest from the bard. (I have 2 quests active.) Then the game says "You can only accept 3 quests at once!" Huh? And then when I try to accept another quest from the bowyer... "You can only accept 2 quests at once!" What the hell. You also forgot to play a message to the player such as "1/5 Forest Wolves Killed" when the player kills a wolf. Oh... now I've found it. The "Stag' Death Proof" was lying near the lake near the wolves. Another thing I realized. Although you update the quest log when the player kills one wolf, you don't update it any more after that. Another comment I have is that Stags give (much) more gold than wolves do when killed. And... one other comment. Battling the bears, wolves, and stags is very annoying. They just flee when I strike them, run at me, are about to strike, and then run away again when I hit them. Also, those crystals in the forest don't make sense with the rest of the landscape. They look cool but... eh? I've also realized that the spell breakers outside the gate are vulnerable. And also... it seems as if you can take Jack's quest twice. And now I've pretty much messed up my game. All the quest givers are shouting "You can only take 3 quests at once." at me, so I'm not really sure what to do. You've made a lot of changes from the earlier alpha, but the earlier alpha also didn't allow the player to mess up his or her game like I did mine. However, I do understand one thing. The bug I've encountered might not be easy to fix, but I still have faith in you. Good luck with new releases!
I'll test this map again sometime soon, but I also gotta play on Battle Net with my friends, finish some of the other single player RPGs I've started, and review more maps.
(Remember, just because I've given you all those bugs doesn't mean I dislike your map. I've just really messed up my game right now, and I'm sort of frustrated. I still support you!)

That's what i call fast
First bug found:
all the lumber jack has quest?

SMooth the terrain in the water aria near alchem lab
Some terrains are too distorted
and i own night bane?

Here it is.

You can see, Lumber Jack gathering lumber, but can take quest? Also taking quest from there don't disapper.
I'm sure he is enemy because you haven't add the forces yet.

The other one

I think it is untidy and...ugly as well. (In my opinion. Sorry about that. XD)

I can't find more because the limit of accpeting quest.
(Lazy is also a reason.)

The last thing is all the quests I also can't submit. (Complete?)
Ok, sorry for Chinese again.

Played 1.1 of Clash of Elements and here is a quick review yet helpful!

[+] Good Points
-Rich Terrain
-Beautiful and well-made custom Heroes
-Custom Skills fits the hero and is cool
-Quests are somewhat interesting in this game, not just you go kill and kill, gather and gather. Its very unique!
-Awesome bossfights!

[-] Bad Points
-Rich Terrain yet has some flaws, some grounds in Ground Zero are Raised too much making it kind of ugly!
-Units have improper scaling size. Demetrius the Hero is quite big if you compare with the villagers, Villager Joe is too big, and Lumber Jack is also big.
-The shown Game texts in the intro are messy like when it showed "Clash Of the Elements then "Chapter 1"

[] Suggestions:
-Fix the flaws in the terrain
-Fix also the scaling size. Some looks bigger than expected.
-Fix the messy texts at Intro Cinematics

Still, the game is so epic and awesome. Quests are quite unique here and also the bossfights are awesome! I rate this 4/5 if I would rate. Well done, MT, +2 REP!

Bugs:

- After you collected 2 Construction Lumber its says quest finished but it only shows 1/2 Lumber in the Quest menu.
- If you talk to the Lumber Jacks you can get the Quest again and again, you also can drop those quests. (screen2)
- Quest "Lumber is Needed" i dont really know who gave me that quest. I run around and looked for the guy. So i tried to give the lumber to villager joe, it worked. My lumber disappeared but my quest was still not finished.
- After the "get rid of the stags" quest i got another one (different name) but actually it was the same quest again !
- If you skip the cinematic (pressing "ESC") the intro appears (Mastertrainer production etc) but few secs after that the cinematic goes on. (it actually only happened for me when the women was talking)
- I did the "lumber is needed" quest twice. The second time i did the quest i picked up both lumber. (it seems the quest was already finished after the 1st lumber) Unfortunately after picking up the 2nd lumber all my lumber disappeared. (so not able to finsih the quest)
- "seeing the mayor" it looks like there should be a cinematic because both characters are talking but nothing happens at all.
- after i got the letter from "seeing the mayor" it also tried again to give the letter to village joe again and he took it again.
- after doing 2 optional quests i wanted to pick another one but it said "only 3 optional quests are allowed" (i only had 1 at that time)
- "going to the market" after you gave ferm 1 cheese the quest was already finsihed


What i didnt like, some things that i would change (but thats not bugs):
- Stags give gold.
- Stags are as fast as the hero which kinda sucks because they run away if u hit them and slows down the quest. And remove their attacks, deers which attack ?
- You can leave the city because of a hidden path in the forest. (screenshot)
- If you finished a quest Questionmarks should appear on the head of the questgiver.
- Write in the quests where you got the quest from.
- Make it possible to skip the cinematic. (it sucks to see it 3 times in 30 mins )
- You can walk through some doodads (like those stones close the village jack)
- I dont know if its supposed to be but u can repeat the "Lumber is needed" quest
- rescale some NPCs. stags bigger than village, some villager twice as big as their neighbours ?
- some of your tiles are pretty nasty. (espically those gras ones which change the color on their edge) it also is shown on screen3.
- make the cheese stackable


Positiv:
- i do like the village a lot of quests which makes the village pretty alive !

Negativ:
- there are so many bugs right now its almost impossible to play the game. (i had to start 3 times and than i got sick of it )


I highly recommend to remove the map first of all and get rid of all the bugs i (and the both other guys) posted and than play it by yourself at least 2-3 times before u upload it !

Right now you just scare ppl and might they wont come back for another version.

But in the end the map will be nice im sure but not right now ! dont fuck it up do it right, get rid of the bugs and release a decent version. dont rush into this !

UPDATE: Okay since if I don't summarize this update it would be very long, I will just say that a majority (80%) of these bugs have been fixed already. THough I am having difficulty with the remaining ones, especially the distortion of the terrain according to Legendary, it will take me a few days to get these removed.

Mwaahhahahahahhahaha yes you must

 

[MasterTrainer]

Eh... you are right Legendary. I must.

UPDATE: I am almost done with fixing all the bugs (94%) and I am working now on the Gameplay video and the storyline.

The Project Nominations are here again! Nominate this if you think this is worthy enough =)

UPDATE: I have another idea: I will make a cinematic on a different map depicting the prologue of the elements. (PotE) The map will not be (currently have no intentions to) uploaded in the Maps Section, but only in this thread.

EDIT: I have fixed 99% of the bugs that have been reported (only left is the terrain distortion problem) and I am filming now the gameplay video!

 

[tony1509]

I can finally know how to complete the quest!

 

[MasterTrainer]

I can finally know how to complete the quest!

I am glad you did. But your gameplay using 1.1a will be buggy and will have game issues. 1.1b has a lot of fixes and more (hopefully) bug-free quests and it will be have more worth playing than the older version.

For now, please bear with me again, fellow supporters.

 

[BandolXD]

Will you releasing Alpha or Beta soon?

 

[Vinz]

The alpha is already released.

 

[MasterTrainer]

Will you releasing Alpha or Beta soon?

The Alpha 1.1a was taken down due to the number of bugs reported in and spotted. 1.1b will be released hopefully early this week.

 

[Vinz]

I just noticed, but we use the same base classes in my upcoming project.
The difference is, there will be no evolving classes for me, and just plain villagers and equipment stuff.

That's an easy problem to fix, En_Tropy. Since the current two other main heroes aren't used yet in the game or hasn't appeared in the main story yet, I can just change their class (Except for the Paladin)

 

[MasterTrainer]

UPDATE: I have put a market vendor NPC near the market so you can buy some support items for the hero. =)

 

[MasterTrainer]

UPDATE: Okay sorry for the triple post but this thread needs to be refreshed again due to severe lack of activity... Anyways, the reason behind this inactivity is that I encountered more bugs than before when I took the Bowyer's quests, and due to that I had to make some more adjustments.

But I have succeeded in doing so, and I will finally post the Gameplay Video 5 hours from this post!

 

[tony1509]

2.5 hour left to release~

 

[MasterTrainer]

2.5 hour left to release~

Look forward to it... I may even release the 1.1b in addition to the Gameplay Video =)

 

[MasterTrainer]

UPDATE: CotE Alpha 1.1b is now out! I fixed almost all bugs, and I hope you enjoy it this time =)


Although the Gameplay video is gonna be a little late...

 

[tony1509]

half hour left~

Let me try the new Alpha and find some bugs. XD

Bugs:
I was too rash, and pressed ESC multiple times. My hero didn't appear, and this is what happened.

That is one nasty bug indeed... I will get right into fixing that =)

*At least this time only very few bugs have been spotted*

Here is my review for 1.1b. Looks like many bugs are fixed.

-Fix the messy texts at Intro Cinematics

Looks like many bugs are fixed such as in the quests rating changed to 5/5 but still a problem is your Intro Cinematic. Still messy.

Looks like I have fixed a lot of bugs since then... but the bug in the cinematic intro remains for two reasons:

One. After I made it skippable I never really checked it thoroughly since I always pressed ESC.

Two. In my screen it appears just fine so back then I really did not know what to fix.

But I have taken yours and En_Tropy's reports into consideration and I will get to fixing it immediately.




After these bug fixes I will release CotE Alpha 1.1c next week along with some other surprises!

 

[FRENGERS]

+ REPT
Humm.... Nice terrain
It's single players and you must make more bigger size.... Also, import more beautiful doodads and terrain :3 :3

Thanks bro!!

I am planning to import more doodads and improve the terrain, but alas, I cannot make the map size bigger. Any attempt to do so will set me back two months of work...

and +REP to you too =)

 

[tony1509]

........ 1.1C again. = =
I may try it later because I have lots of thing to do. I may post some bugs (maybe no bugs, which I hope. =D) that I spotted later.

Thanks=) I am looking forward to it...

Actually, the next time I release an Alpha after 1.1c is 1.2a, which I hope includes the following:


-Complete Terrain
-Stable Storyline
-More Bug Fixes

Fellow supporters that still look at this thread, I won't be very much active in the Hive or in this thread in the first couple weeks of May... because believe it or not I'm going to spend most of my time in school and also in the Techtree Contest in the arena...

Until the next time =)


PEACE OUT

why you have summer or breaching class?

In a way, yes. Because my school is hosting this training camp sort of thing and I am compelled to join.
