Oh boy...yeah, the famous 'Character not in room' bug...for some reason that didn't show up when testing :

Anyway, you haven't done anything out of order if you're in the tunnel system, and it will work eventually.  Some people found it worked better when they didn't switch to Sparkplug but went through the whole thing as Rosaline.  Once you do make it out, I highly recommend saving the game before you do ANYTHING else (you'll probably find out why ) Glad you're enjoying it as well

Haha yeah, I found out why 

...Which means I got through the sewer maze, yeayyyy. I'm glad mapping the entire thing was useful after all.

I'm so happy I made it through a full length game without requiring any real hints.

Enjoyed using the fish, I was as surprised as she was that it worked.

Oh, and liked Trent's reaction to both the 49/50 books traded.

I am wondering if giving the medkit to the cleric guy made a difference (was he Rosaline's saviour?)

And what was the coin for? The statue was not amused hehe. Then there was the bottle of water. well I'll check the other Equilibrium topics, so if you mentioned there, I'll see them.

Well, if you don't know by now, I really liked the game 

Thanks for the fun

Can't remember if I did this or not so I'll post it here anyway...

I'm glad you liked the fish...that was very nearly cut from the game.  It kept getting pushed further and further back (in the original version you could get straight to Libria from the Nethers at any point in the game, and you had to use the fish to get past the guard there) and part of me was tempted to take it out completely.  I'm glad I didn't though

No, the Cleric wasn't Rosaline's saviour (though that's an interesting take; I never thought of that before) You'll be saved even if you don't give him the medkit As to who the saviour was...that gets cleared up at the beginning of the sequel.

The coin and the bottle of water *thinks* From a playing point of view, they weren't for anything (although you can pour the water into Sparkplug's bowl if you want).  From a scripting point of view though, they were vitally important.  I'd never written or programmed anything before I did Equilibrium, so I had difficulty with a few things; largely walking or not walking on particular areas (like the other side of the electric fence).   I added something to the code which said that if you had a certain object, you could walk there (which was why Roz kept the coin until the very end).  The bottle started off as being part of a more complex puzzle - you had to feed Sparkplug and give him water before he'd follow you - but at the time I didn't know how to program this and so the bottle became something of a red herring

You're more than welcome; I'm glad you enjoyed it!  *glances around for notes* Maybe I'll get back to work on the sequel today...your comments have put me in a game mood
