itch.io

It's just the update from March; I had messed up a naming convention when uploading back then.  It should all be good now.

...Apparently when I uploaded, I didn't name the files the same as the previous files, so they uploaded in a weird way.  I've fixed it.  It should be good now!

The itch version currently has all the new content from the console port, but it's lacking some of the quality of life updates.  The publisher does want to get those on the PC version as well eventually, but they have no real time frame for that.  But, like I said, all the content is available on the PC version, so you can feel free to play and experience hard mode and the new dungeons!

Sorry, if you want it on console, you have to buy it there.  Getting the port to work on consoles was a fair amount of work that needs to be compensated, too.

The ending's the same.

I'm sorry for the confusion; the console port itself is the updated version.  The itch version will eventually be updated, but that's going to be once I get the ok from the publisher, which will probably be in a few months.

Don't worry!  I wasn't insulted or anything!  I'm glad you're showing interest in Hymn, and I'm going to make sure it's the best game I can make!

Weird!  I'm incredibly happy with the art style for Hymn, so I don't think I'll be making a game with anime characters any time soon.  My apologies!

I suppose I could, actually.  It'd be a bit of a project, particularly with adding reverb to every track.  But, I might play around with that the next time I've got some free time.

I've got all my other soundtracks up, but not this one since it's all .midi.  I think you should be able to navigate to the sound files in the game folder, though!  They just won't have the reverb that RPG Maker puts on them, so they'll sound a little drier than what you're used to.  Let me know if you can't find those files; I should be able to get those to you somehow.

Thanks!

Currently, I don't have any plans for that.  I do have a console port in the works that should be releasing towards the end of summer, though, so if that builds enough interest in the game, then any translation is possible, but right now I wouldn't count on it.

So, LockeZ handled the balancing on this, and it's been a while, but my understanding is that he originally made the game on the difficult side, mostly because of enemy hp pools being too large.  Easy, I think, was him compromising, so that's probably the way to go unless you enjoy difficult RPGs.

Currently there's no plan for that, but who knows! 

We might be doing merch soon, so who knows!

That's very sweet--thanks!

Okay, good!  Glad I could help!

Seems like it should be east, northeast, southwest, north, southeast, west.  I'm really hoping I don't get my own puzzle wrong, haha.

The sun does rise in the east, yeah.  

So, I can't open up this game in the editor anymore (no longer have RPG Maker VX), and there used to be a guide up on rpgmaker.net, but that site's been down for some time.  If you can give the text to the puzzle, I can reason it out, but that's about the best I can do.

Hey, you've got to get started somewhere!  There are a lot of rough aspects to my earlier games, but I wouldn't have been able to add polish to the later ones if I hadn't learned a lot of lessons through developing the early ones.  Best of luck on your own work!

Yeah, time's really flying.  I had the thought when uploading this that I've been making games now for around 15 years!

It's a bit of a relic, but there are still some aspects that I'm proud of.  Hope you like it! 

Sorry for the late reply (I didn't get notified about this for some reason), but, no it's not.  It's only available for PC and Mac at the moment.  We're currently working to port it to consoles, but there is no Android port in the works.

Awesome, glad you're liking it!

It's called "Strangled While Asleep."

Thanks for the review!

There will 100% be a Mac version of the full game.  The demo's just windows, though, since we didn't want to delay the kickstarter further.

I'm profoundly grateful that my work could have such an impact on you.  I don't know the details, obviously, so forgive me for responding more generally, but thanks for sharing.  Live your best life!

That's it's Ultimate Form.

It's a pretty minor difference, but mostly it's just that the file named "game" varies depending on the version.  On Steam, you have to set a default executable, so Steam has to have two versions.  I left it that way here since people who weren't familiar with mkxp and might not be the most tech savvy would have simple instructions for getting the game started.  There are also some in-game instructions that vary based on which version you're using; basically, mkxp allows you to resize the window however you want, and the standard version has a few set window sizes.

Thanks so much!  Always good to hear that people dug it!

Glad to hear it!

Thanks so much!

Glad you're digging it!  Unfortunately, it doesn't have that kind of feature.  If you're using Windows, though, you can right click on the speaker volume icon in the lower right of your start bar, click "volume mixer," and adjust the volume for Jimmy there.

Awesome!  Thanks for sharing the solution; I'll direct people that way if it comes up again.

The game you get from the bundle and the game you'd otherwise get are exactly the same, so I don't think that's the issue.

Whew, great!  I hate having to troubleshoot Mac when I don't have a Mac.  So glad you got this working; I'll keep this in mind if it comes up again.

Sorry if this is something obvious you've already done, but the folder that you saved the Jimmy folder in has read/write permissions as well, right?

Weird.  So, normally, it should be saving to the base directory where the game's .exe is, which is "Resources."    I don't have a Mac in front of me, so I can't see what you're seeing, but can you go to that specific folder and set permissions?

Here's a post from someone who had that same issue with another RPG Maker game.  Check the second post for the solution, and let me know if it works out:
