Elestian Tales: Bittersweet Sanity - On hold (Sorry guys... :()

[A�rendyll (formerly Yurina)]

Well, the 1rst demo is up!

Please tell me if there's something totally wrong, I appreciate all help.

Well... enjoy it!!!

[Mordalles]

hello, yurina.

i tried downloading the demo, but it asks for a password?

[Akumayo]

I seem to get some sort of other language page that displays what I believe is an error.  What is wrong?   

[A�rendyll (formerly Yurina)]

Blimey, I seem to have got a lot of errors.

Password Issue: The password is written in the readme that's included. I wantedto make sure you people read what I have to say. >=)

I once made a Dutch translation thingy, but it's outdated.
EDIT: This can also be because of my Dutch webhost.
EDIT END

Ingame issues:

You can only explore the village right now. I'm working on some bugs and errors.

I have to go now, my Dutch class is waiting. I'll add the better version ASAP.

Cheers!

hey i also tried downloading the demo, but

The link that hosts the demo asks for a password. I would love to read the readme for the game password, but first i need the website password to download it 

Also the website is in a language unknown to me, so i can't register to get a password

please, i really wanna download it.

[Khris]

Right-click -> Save as... worked fine for me. No password, no site.

[scourge]

I just did that , but again it asked for a password ...

[Queen Kara]

It looks beautiful , I love Anime style games and RPGS / adventure games ..... Haven't played the demo yet , will edit post later when I have...lol

Thank you for making / working on this!
Best wishs.

Ooo, this is going to be a good one.  I like the interface a lot.  In the first part of the village, outside your house, there are some shops/houses that you can enter without the character actually walking to them first (as she does in the second part of the village).  I really like the backgrounds, they remind me a little of the old Zelda games.  I especially like the character's portraits that you talk to, they are way better than what I can make   .  Anyway, keep up the good work, and I'll look forward to the next demo.

Thanks, everyone!

For the password, there is a readme included if I'm not mistaken. I used Winrar to zip it, and you need to read everything I have to say to you included in the text there. I wanted to make sure you read the creits, I think the people who made this game possible, like Eph (she has awesome tiles), would appreciate it.

I'll put up the improved in the weekend, maybe today.

[Mordalles]

i still cant download it. it keeps asking for username and password when it should start downloading. i really want to read the readme, believe me, but doesnt help when i can't actually download the readme. and no, "right click and save as" doesnt work. like somebody mentioned.

[A�rendyll (formerly Yurina)]

That's odd, when I tried myself it worked... It seems that some people have trouble while others don't...

If someone knows a reliable host who wants to host this file, give me a PM.

[A�rendyll (formerly Yurina)]

So many problems, so little time...

I still don't have a host, so can anyone tell me where to get a reliable one?

I also have a fixed and up-to-date improved Demo without the bugs, but because the demo doesn't download good thus far for some people I'd rather put it up under the new host.

It's so anoying... AAAAAAARGH!!!

[Akumayo]

As for file hosting, this is what I use:
http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/upload/upload.html

And many people also use this:
http://www.americangirlscouts.org/agsuploads/index.php

Both are run by/through AGS'ers, and they're pretty realiable.Ã,  I recommend both.

[A�rendyll (formerly Yurina)]

Thanks, Akumayo! You're a great help!

[A�rendyll (formerly Yurina)]

And FINALLY I have the improved demo 1 up! For your convience I added the URL at both the first post of this topic as here.

Hey, pretty cool.Ã,  I played through as far as I could get.Ã,  As far as bugs:
-When you try to enter the "Whatever's in Stock Shop" the player doesn't walk over to the door first, just... teleports... inside.
-When you look at the sign outside the "Whatever's in Stock Shop" the player walks all the way to the signpost, then stops and says what the shop is, instead of actually going and looking at the sign.

Spoiler

I got the radio, plushie, pink (unissess?) feather (is that what it is?), and the apple, but can't find any use for any of them!Ã,  Am I missing something, or has the demo just not progressed far enough for me to use them?

[close]

Oh, and, I think it would be nice if there were some interactions for Looking at the inventory items, because right now it's hard to tell what some of them are (see spoiler).

Overall I really like the feel of the game, the interface is nice, the character isn't too slow, and the dialog portraits are beautiful (though some characters don't have themÃ,  )

As always Akumayo is a big help to me! ^^

I'll try to fix the Whatever-is-in-stock whop, I overlooked it.

How can make that select thingy? I'm not the smartest when it comes to forum codes, that's why I ask. And it's hard for me to answer spoiler questions when I can't make that area, isn't it?

I had trouble making look-at interactions for the messages, but I'll see what I can achieve (it was hard for me to actually get the message I gave to the inventory items on screen).

I don't use too much portraits because of the limited animtated sprites. I'd rather use different expressionportraits for the most important characters than use portraits for every personality, even if they aren't important.

[Akumayo]

I see about the portraits.  As for making "spoilers", use the following code, removing the ~ signs.
