May Content Poll Results
🕑 Added 2016-06-01 04:33:00 +0000 UTC Hello everyone,Hope you all had a good Memorial Day weekend. I know it's been about a week since my last post, so I wanted post and let everyone know what's going on. I also wanted to post the results for the May content poll. There were some close questions, one in particular was separated by THREE votes!
Before that though, I'm sure a few people want to know what's up with Hunter's Quest. Well, in my rewriting and editing this weekend, I translated something I guess I wasn't supposed to. It was a stupid mistake, because I translated switch and variable names along the way, so that I could follow what the original developer was doing. It never caused me a problem in the past, but last week, I decided I was going to really edit and rewrite some of the story to flow a lot better. In doing so, I translated a bunch of stuff that I had left in Japanese originally. RPG Maker is NOT conducive to tracking down errors, figuring out what is tied to scripts, or easily copying and pasting your work if you have to restore from backup.
What does this mean? I means I'm trying to track down the problem right now. If I don't get it resolved tonight or tomorrow, I will post Hunter's Quest version 0.99 tomorrow. It is a rolled back version that is completely translated, but does not have the story changes I made last week, or most of the addition quest lines (it does have the NPC reactions and mini events). I'll then leave it up to people to determine if they want to give it a try then or if they want to wait until I fix the problem (or, copy all the new stuff into the rolled back version, God I hope that isn't the only option). As I said though, I will post version 0.99 or version 1.0 tomorrow.
Now, on to the poll results:
Question 1: At the beginning of Chapter 2, Voran has a problem. Which of the following does he need help with?
Winning selection: "Voran is planning on re-opening his old bar. He wants something to hang on the wall to spruce the place up a bit, but doesn't know what to get. He'd like your help."

Question 2: During Aylia and Bogwort's travels, they often need to camp. One of the nights they are camping, Bogwort does what?
Winning Selection: The overly confident goblin tries to use his meager shamanistic powers to hypnotize Aylia. Will his carnal desires be satisfied?

Question 3: When Aylia and Bogwort arrive in Trellion, the person they are looking for is doing what?
Winning Selection: He's locked up in the town jail for getting drunk and punching a noble in the face.

Question 4: During one of Aylia's relaxing baths in Zalran lake, which of the following occurs?
Winning selection: While bathing, someone sneaks up to her belongings and steals her clothing.

All in all, a fun poll for me to see what you guys think. I was surprised at the night event, didn't think the hypnotize option would win. I was pretty happy the jail option one. Just think, what will have to happen for Aylia to convince the guards to let her talk to the prisoner? Will she be able to persuade the noble to drop the charges? Should be quite intriguing... :-)
Now, back to bug hunting and working on Aylia's Story.
Thanks,

Some probably will. As I said above, what the votes mean is that the winning choice will 100% be in the game, they don't mean the losing choices won't.

I haven't. I'll look into it. The problem I'm having is that I translated, or changed something that was involved in a script call. RPG Maker does not allow one to easily track these. Add in that the scripts are entirely Japanese, well, it compounds the problem. In a fit of rage this morning, I simply started pasting stuff from the original version to try and figure out what went wrong. I, of course, screwed it up further. Granted, I backed it all up, so no harm. It does mean that I'm pretty sure I'll have to manually re-input my changes into RPG Maker. That won't take nearly the amount of time as creating it, but it is more than a simple copy/paste. I'll post v0.99 this evening unless a miracle occurs and v1.0 is ready to go.

First, the prison events don't have to be "generic." Second, tropes exist for a reason, because a lot of the time, they are awesome. I've seen waitress events in a number of games, but somehow, I never tire of them. Just as I don't think I'll ever tire of certain prison events. I'll do my best to make it a unique experience.
YummyTiger Gaming
Oh, Bogwort THINKS he knows hypnosis. Of course, Bogwort thinks he knows everything. We'll just have to see how it turns out.
YummyTiger Gaming
Yea, that vote was close. I do want to say that just because something did not win, does not mean it won't be included. It just means the winning option will 100% be included.

Also, as an aside, the votes were so evenly split which means some of the scenarios suggested are good ideas and could be used later in the game.

With regard to the hypno vote, I don't think anyone here thinks he'd actually be successful but it could be funny to see him try. Also it could be used to set up lore in the world for truly powerful people to be able to use hypnotic powers. It could just be comic relief and foreshadowing. Like maybe she goes along with it just to see what he is trying, then bops him in the head... All sorts of fun stuff could happen. Can't wait to see!

Very happy with the votes, can't wait to play with HQ! :)

Hey I am also a coder and have had the unfortunate experience of losing or mixing up a version. Have you tried using github ? If you know how to use it, it's so bloddy useful.

If Aylia's first piece of clothing is made of a potato sack, Bogwort's must have originally been a Bag of Holding for him to be able to pull out THAT big a coincidence...though, I won't bet against that greenskinned, glorious, bastard's luck.
Vesle Triumphant
Bogwort has a forest of coincidence's in his robe.
Aestral
Bleh, I was hoping for some mysterious swamp events while looking for the guy instead of generic "Fuck a prison guard" seen everywhere, but 3/4 is still nice I guess :3
Martin
Does Bogwort even KNOW hypnotism? Seems a bit silly. More so than what I'd expect even from Bogwort...I'm a bit disappointed with that choice winning the vote, but I trust in your skills to make the scenario plausible and not too far-fetched, Yummy.
James
damn I wish I chose "treatment" but that would only make it 116....
James
its more bogworts style to use old school and pervy tricks
James
wtf... I didnt expect the night one at all.. I wanted to move her clothes with a stick..... at least one of them is what I voted for. Q4 ftw
3 out 4 for me :D Only one am not huge fan of is the hypnosis stuff.
2 for 4 isn't bad. Hard to complain.
thswherizat
I'm not too concerned about the version, just release .99 and add 1.0 once you've fixed the bugs?
soulblade128
Good luck in the bug hunt, bring lots of bug spray.
Buster4MC
Woo! Hypnosis! :D Guess I'm a little biased.
YummyTiger Gaming
Wow, you read fast :-)

I'm intrigued to play those out. Waiting patiently I am.
