Aww, thank you very much as always Ellise for the very detailed reply. ❤ This is exactly why I love you. You're a wonderful sweethearted developer. Sometimes. I just don't know how you find the time for your "Sinners" lol... It really is sweet and touches my heart. It gets me every time ^_^ So as always, thank you! And sorry for speaking or rather texting my heart...
Anyway...
2. As for the bug with the book, I was able to make it happen again. It shouldn't matter where you save the game... so don't worry about that.
I should have taken notice on which "enemy" I died on when it happened lol...
It was the Boss Wrath aka Ira 🤣... Not just any enemy. The book was left floating static again. I recreated the bug 2x just to be sure. It actually doesn't seem to happen with any other enemy or instance of death as I falsely accidentally stated before... Sorry about that. I should have been more thorough on testing it for you.
Maybe it only happens with bosses? If so, that was my bad. Sorry. The devil is in the details as the saying goes lol
4. I believe it. Take your time Ellise. I can tell you are very passionate about it. You wouldn't have made it this far if you weren't. ^_^
"Without a plan, passion and course of action, an idea remains just that, just an idea never coming to be"
And what you already have here is already more than just an idea. You're making it a reality! So when I say I'm grateful for what you do, I mean every word. Thanks for sharing it with the world and adding to our enjoyment and entertainment in your own way. One small frame at a time ^_^ It's lovable.
It is a lot to do. I see that. But as I always say, "you got this!"
I for one, promise to be patient in the meantime. I'm honestly just grateful to be able to witness this little journey of yours. Even in just a small supportive way, be a small part of it with you even. I think it's wonderful. It makes me wish I could help you develop it but alas... I don't have the know-how. All I have are idea's from time to time. And my poetry lol. It's a personal problem I suppose, so don't mind it. 😔
As always, I look forward to seeing the game flourish over time. It's only just the beginning after all, so it's nice to hear about the dream for the game and where you want to go with it. Sounds good! I'll be sure to continue giving my thoughts and support to you if any other good ideas come to mind in the meantime. You're already far more creative than I ever will be. My passion lays elsewhere...
6. I won't lie... After loading the game I tend to backtrack to stockpile on items. The chests and enemies conveniently reset after loading the game. I hope it stays that way personally 😏Magical refilling chests are convenient as they are for simply being there. Kind of like the older final fantasy games. ^_^ So there is a reason too... although... possibly an unintentional exploit... I hope I don't regret telling you that 😆(I wish my refrigerator and cupboards would magically fill up with food XD)
Maybe later the enemies will have a way to respawn other than loading the game and have an item drop chance(?) giving the player better reason to backtrack and farm... Just an idea. 🤔
7. That is your call entirely. I don't complain about things being easier lol. "Or more satisfying to deal with..." 😉😏...
As I like to say, "There is nothing wrong with easy."
I thought about it for a minute and realized logically trying to parry a glob of lava with a whip by holding it out in a tight line is probably a very bad idea lol. It would probably split it in half and hit you twice instead. So its better to whip it away... You had it right. ^_^ Well... besides the crouching bug exploit lol.
Maybe if Darlissa can get a "spell shield" later?... That would be a cool way to block such things...
"Ohh the possibilities and limits to the imagination are endless. You're the dev, the creator, the god to your own world" ^_^
As for your wonderful detailed feedback to my past replies... again... Just... thank you. ❤ That was more than ever expected.
Sorry, I got carried away with my words of love and inspiration again...
It was a pleasure to help you. You're very welcome. And again, thank you. I enjoy helping you. It helps me take my mind off of other things at the same time. 😌 This was enjoyable.
As I said before, I'll say it again, "I'll be here." Thanks for reading. ♥
