Lantis, be very afraid.

Oh trust me, I've got a method I'm going to implement during the playtesting stage of creation. I've already talked it over with SK. Firstly, we'll be playing the entire game over several times. And every time trying it as different as possible from the last. While doing this, go to places and do things that players wouldn't normally go/do. Leave dungeons with puzzles half-finished, go back to places with major scenes after any switch changing. You know, the works.

I think as long as I keep up the WWDJD (what would Dray do) mentality, I can avoid any embarrassment later. Specially if I can ever get that freaking CBS demo glitch free. If you want to find glitches, I'm going to make you work for them.

That's what I like to hear. If only Bethesda would test their games like you.

Nice!

I kinda felt bad for the dude though, seems like maybe a switch went haywire somewhere, or he forgot to make the event where you could actually activate it. Thing is though, that since so much can go wrong... just whoa.

But, regardless- mainstream titles ship with bugs(sometimes gamebreaking) nowadays and have huge testing teams. Most RPGM games get tested by like one person, maybe a couple at the most.

The good news is, after a point, you can just use the "Exit Battle" option to skip over all the battles. Would make the process go a lot quicker.

Well, here you go.

Here's an interesting concept for an RPG Maker 3 game: an open-ended RPG in which your character's development is determined by your own actions, rather than the plot. This is "Ursus Quest: Tree of Life".

Here's another episode, in which I show off what happens if you give different answers during the beginning of the game. I've got two other episodes that will appear over the next couple of days, as well, so keep an eye out for those.

Well, that whole "Mag being down" thing kinda sucked. To make up for it, here's the other two episods for this week, where I decide to become a cook and a trader. One more willingly than the other.

I've mentioned RPG Maker 3's 100-character limit, before. In the first of today's two episodes, I show off why the limit exists. Then, in the second episode, there is a 50/50 chance that my life will go in an enjoyable direction.

In this pair of episodes, we make use of those INT medals. Also, I continue being an archaeologist by messing with some bones under the church.

Not much happens today. I mainly just talk to the townsfolk in town, though I do also find a bit of treasure.

Let's try out a different profession.

Let's try out the same profession.

This really has little to do with Tree of Life, but I thought it'd be fun.

Here's the first of two videos for this week. I prep up to go out into the world map and fight some monsters. We'll get to those monsters tomorrow.

(40 minutes in, in case the link doesn't take you directly to it.)

And here's the other half. I have mixed emotions.

And so begin a half-week's worth of episodes in which I try to figure out just how this game's battles are balanced.

Almost forgot to post this. I finally finish the first invention to find Max's money.

Before we find out how good this equipment is, I figure I'd try out the battles in the "easy" section of the map. And also start the next archaeology quest. We can kill two birds with one stone that way.
