ALMOST THERE!!!!

OK a new build this morning mainly for retina users… I do not have a retina device and the simulator SUCKS for retina… It fixes world to screen space transformations OR name tags and health bars mainly..

V11 is up and email out…

FIXED IN V11
————————-
– increase base text font size….sucks for retina
– small gold no picture
– no need for detect trap skill….
Beta 9 bug – d2
-Town portal is seemingly in the loot list.
Beta 9 bug – d1
-Cannot complete mission 23. I destroy the required device, and it says to return to avatar. I got down to level 7 as it says to and return to avatar via teleport and there is no trigger to complete mission. Cannot continue.
Beta 9 bug – d3
-Floating harbinger name, but no harbinger in level 6. yup big bug! also most units missing.. the early levels I need to watch they are not built off the matrix….
-Beta 9 – 1
Mission where you must collect 15 tiny silver and 15 tiny crystals for zoom ability has bugged text and always tells you that you have 0 to go when you pick some up. ALL COLLECT QUESTS HAVE BEEN ALTERED TO BE IN THE SAME CODE LINES
-Beta 9 – 2
Loading a saved game while the store menu was up, ended up with the store menu showing up whenever I loaded that particular saved game.
-Beta 9 – 5 ( should be fixed in V10 )
While using retina display, enemy health and damage dialogue is heavily shifted to the upper left, which makes it nigh impossible to see.
-Request 2
Normal enemies seem ridiculously easy on levels 1-3. Intentional?
–Yes but maybe to much asking the testers…
Request 3 ( fixed v10 )
-I still also get various crashes when loading from death or when teleporting, but it is more rare now luckily.
– dooms eye misspell
– Q45 find Wally..he is not here..green spot on map leads to a harbinger of doom nametag..skip

Its 1 o’clock again hitting the hay.. let me know how v10 goes… v11 will be pretty quick yalls bugs are getting smaller and easier to fix =).. reminds me of universal studios bug line… it always goes quick towards the end.. so hopefully we are almost there!

UPDATE:

QUESTIONS:

HOW do yall feel on the difficulty of the first 3 levels?

Allow dual wield earlier on? SKILL given on a quest at level 9

Note when someone meets lvl 9 boss and he starts summoning his freinds.. let me know if it feels to hard.. =)

NEW BUILD INCOMING ( BE SURE TO DELETE BEFORE YOU INSTALL AGAIN =))
(IN my short amount of test time I do think that assembly code was the issue… it only ran in release mode in ad hoc.. now removed I cannot duplicate a crash I was able to create…. so this should reduce crashes significantly there are more I bet but we will find them =)!

——–
I removed some assembly code that could be a part of some of the crashes and have lots of little fixes

BUILDING

Strangly Nervous about this testing…never have been before…strange.. =)

OK IT IS READY! … The online stuff is not done.. that will be completed during beta..it is time to let you all into the realm of mission Europa. Again if you can make videos and shots of the game and get the word out it would really help…. I have to make 2 builds tomorrow. I then will email you all. Please feed the bugs and request into the forum so we can all talk about it.. I have a very few beta spots left so if you know a DEDICATED tester please ask them to email me.. I have so few slots left I really need some people willing to be a part of this project.. all testers inputing real time and information will have something in game dedicated to them. =)

Woohaaaa this beast is almost ready for game day! =)

All I have left is to finalize the baddies on the summon levels…. then it will be friday or saturday.. =) Thanks guys.. I look forward to the input and help! =)

almost midnight again. I will try to get more of the summon baddies done…

Currently I am combat stat testing.. making sure all the mechanics are good… with so many variables or knobs to turn it is a lot of work… but I think it is really coming together…

More later =)

I still have to run through each boss and be sure they are good then I will be ready! =)… The voices for quests beyond 40 will go in during beta some time… voice actor is lazy… but free =P

FORUMS OPEN

Update: Since all I am doing is running through levels now I expect a build in the next 2 days so you gus can help me out with finding broken skills and weapons… etc… tweaking difficulty.. etc…drops… lots of stuff =)

She is about ready! (If you could do me a favor and on the forums before you post make a signature that states your setup ie 3G or 3GS or iPad.. -) … this build will be just 4.0 let me know if your device does not support 4.0 I want to enable the option for retina display.. I do not have a way of testing it right now… so expect issues with the retina display =P…. )

Hey guys if you want a promo video to share here you go… and this is just using a few weapons and skills =P… btw playing with a mouse is impossible!… its like playing with your big toe… -)
Just mention it is in dev and I was using a dang mouse =P…(O and it runs great on pre 3G devices!)

Really I need a 30 minute video to show all you can do =)

UPDATE: Seal of Mana Shield is your friend be sure to cast it when you first enter a level… πŸ˜‰

Update: Instructions posted!
