Hi! There's a path past him that requires some light puzzle solving. Check the room all the way to the right/up of that hallway, the one with the big chair.

The character is from my new project, Shadow Facade.

The optional quests unlock after passing the desert, but you may want to visit Falgar's place for gear. One quest can only be finished after beating Falgar.

I'd suggest to keep playing until you're level 30+ and have better equipment for now.

Hi! Can you try again on X? I checked, but couldn't find anything. I get like 10+ spam requests a day, so maybe it got buried.

Hi! The way I coded the game makes this really difficult, and I couldn't think of a way to do this yet.

Oooh a let's play, thanks for making one! Sorry about all the censoring work you had to do, haha :D

Hi! Once you've found the elemental well in that cave, equip a fire spell on one of the characters and use it on the ice crystal via the menu.

Thanks! ^^ I went with the Unifont one. Both versions of Orc Bastion have been updated and are now live with the new font.

Thanks for the feedback! Might do that in a future update if I have some time to spare.

Thank you :) I don't have the resources to make bigger updates ATM, but if I have some time to spare, I'll do better location visibility/minimap stuff for the world map.

Hi! I don't understand the question, even after translating it with google.

Thanks for the feedback! :3 Do you happen to have links to ttf versions of a good 12px or 16px one? Needs to be an all-in-one ttf font, if possible. I'll search for one myself, too.

There is support for translations via editable text files (=easy custom translation), but no finished translation at the moment. Having translations done with a huge script like in Orc Bastion isn't something I can afford. I don't make enough money to pay for things like that, unfortunately. I calculated the costs by looking at freelancer pricing ($ 0.07 per word), and it's about $3000 US dollars per language.

What you can try is doing a quick machine translation of the text files, copying them into the game folder and play like that. See the "Translation Instructions.zip" file in the game directory to see how that works.

Look for light in the water near the sign that says this and follow it to an island.

Thanks! I'll keep those in my dev resources folder for future projects, they're handy. Orc Bastion should work with most languages you throw at it with the update I've just uploaded.

I did it! Wasn't that much work. As soon as the game detects a custom translation, it'll switch to a pixel font that should cover most languages, including Chinese and Japanese. I'd love to know if it works well enough for you now.

On it :3

Thanks! I'll try to include one of those fonts. I'll post here when I've updated the game.

Steam won't publish the game and removed it, citing something about payment processors. They've delisted the store page (only accessible with a link now).

The two alternatives are subscribestar (Ragtor's Games on SubscribeStar) and patreon (Ragtor's Games & Art) at the moment.

In my games' comment sections, the pending posts in need of approval are hard to find (Analystics -> More -> Edit Comments). It's easier to spot them in forum-type comment sections.

I'd love to have a complete overview of all pending posts from all my games in the Dashboard. It seems like no such overview exists at the moment.

Thanks for the kind words! (Btw, your post got spam-filtered and it took a while for me to find it. Sorry!)

Sure thing :3

I think the issue is locating the files after the extraction. You can try picking an easy to find location to extract to instead.

I've also uploaded .zip files of the game just now. Maybe that'll work better for you?

Are you trying to install it via the itch app?

Hi! Are you on Windows? After extracting, you need to go where the game files have been extracted to and double-click ''Demon's Soulbound.exe'' to start the game. If you don't remember the folder you put it into, start the downloaded file again to see the path.

When it comes to gen AI, most people have a problem with  the training data being taken/stolen from artists without asking and the high energy consumption and its environmental effect. There are (very few) AI music generators that are trained on an opt-in basis, mostly solving the first issue. But the high energy consumption still remains.

There's a log file that gets created during play, it should be here: ~/Library/Logs/Ragtor Stone Games/Orc Bastion/Player.log

If I can look at the file, I may be able to see what's wrong. Long shot, though.

I can't test or debug the Mac versions because I don't have one, there's a chance they may not work properly.

The fixed version is online now.

Yeah, that should work. I'll upload a fixed version in half an hour or so, too. Thanks for the bug report :3

Sounds like a bug. I'll take a look. It's a late game optional area, you can ignore it for now.

Thank you :3

The element well requires you to follow light in the water near a sign in the water cave. Can you name the quests you can't finish?

There are 2 masters at the dam. The wolf inside the dam (talk to him with Benno in the party), and one on an island in the lower water area, north-east. of the sand bank.

You should see quest markers on the world map for some of the companion quests (only Slith's is after Falgar's Castle). Karas: Go to Akoh (Goblin town), Mattis: In Rok's Fort (cellar). You may want to gain some experience and buy equipment on Falgar's floating island, though.

This place unlocks during an optional quest for Karas, it'll guide you there eventually. The Master there is south of the entrance.

Unfortunately, Steam blocked the Orc Bastion release, citing payment provider regulations.

There are weaker enemies nearby you can level with if you can't defeat any of the bosses with the current character stats. Switching the difficulty may also help.

I haven't figured out a good way to do a scene gallery, the way the game loads rooms makes this quite difficult. Many scenes can be triggered again by talking to a Master or a party member at certain campfires.

Hi! It sounds like you are underlevelled. At what point in the game are you? There are items that increase stats, and triggering adult scenes also gives stats upgrades. There's also a light armor that doesn't have the speed penalty.

Hi! There's the donation version on itch (Orc Bastion (donation version) by ragtorstone)  and a Steam version is coming soon.
