Epic Quest I - Discussions and Bug Reporting

[Duke Dudeston]

Hello guys,

As some of you maybe aware, the forum we setup originally for the "testing" stages for this game have been lost, due to some crazy server problem when switching hosts.

However I feel that as the discussions are small, and most bug reports do come direct to me, we can use this forum instead. (If you still need to register, please do so, and tell me when you do)

Although this will be open to all, I hope that only my testers will use it (again as most are already registered on this forum)

I will update this first post when new information is provided

Current Version Information

We are currently testing: Alpha Version 0.3.2,
This version is mainly testing:

• Story Progression (Typo's and spelling mistakes will be fixed before final)
• Character Progression
• Game Balance (Attributes / economy etc)
• 1st Additional Dungeon

Reported Bugs / Faults v0.3.2

none at this time, v0.3.2 is a pre v0.4 version, I have updated the game with the fixes raised from version
0.3.1, this new version of the Alpha 3 core, is to give new testers (the ones just joining the team) a chance
to catch up with the current fixes. If you already have to go Glayvon in v0.3.1 there is no need for you to
download this newer version.

We will be sending download links to all our testers with this information in the next couple of days.

Reported Bugs / Faults v0.3.1

Below are the bugs that have been reported to date from the current version (Last Updated: 00:45 23/04/2014)

• Player can bypass story element in "Trivill"
• Chest on top of dungeon in "Trivill" changes from small red box, to large wooden chest
• Player can get stuck when trying to view the "residential area" in "Trivill"
• Enemies on the second continent are too many in numbers (and are quite strong)
• Monk can wear heavy armour - (should only be light armour)
• Music missing from area's causing game to crash

Thank you too

Ok, just letting you know, I have played through from start to finish again, and haven't found any new bugs or anything of importance.
I will be looking forward to the next version release!

[Dave]

I have to agree, I don't think there is much more to test on this current version, you seem to have a nice list of bugs there to sort through for the next release.
I saw in the read me you are planning a new character (4th member) I wonder how you are going to incoporate it?


I will say though, that the story line is thinning as you journey further, I am hoping you will flesh it out as you go on?

[Duke Dudeston]

Thanks again for your support guys.
Yes Dave, I am planning on fleshing out the content for the main release, I don't want to give too much away of the story.

I have just been going over the list of things to fix, and the bugs from 0.3.1 have now been addressed.
Before I continue on with the development of v0.4.0, has anyone tried the dungeon I included? this is an ongoing test, I just want to know what you people think.

[Pipliran]

I tried the dungeon at level 7, and if it wasn't for the bonus items the ingame GM gave me, I don't think it was possible, but you did say it was for lv 15+ so might grind my way to there and give it another go.

[Dave]

The dungeon was hard core, I was level 8 at the time, ran out of potions and everything and died just on lead up to the boss!
Damn thats tough! Liked it though, does need some jazzing up.

[Duke Dudeston]

Haha well thanks for the feedback, of course Jazzing up is needed..

Here is a sneak peak of a new area in v0.4.0


I have worked on a lot of the issues already mentioned, and feel that I can move on with the next stage, as of yet I don't think I can give an exact date when to expect 0.4 but I will let you know asap. The first post will have the changelog information.

[Dave]

Haha new area, you must have literally just finished it, wonder what is going on, at least give us a clue to where it is?

[Duke Dudeston]

The new area is where v0.3.1 left off, the mountain pass near "Glayvon" this is inside the mountain.. all sorts of goodness is going on.
another thought came to mind, the equipment, in the town the shop keeps give you access too a fair amount of weapons...

During alpha 4, I might make these weapons *almost* free (like 1 gold each) just so you can test them out, and let me know if they are balanced for the current stage of the game.
