Yo. Thanks for using it, it's much appreciated :)

I've not encountered this issue personally in the past (although I can't remember how many quests I tested it with).

Leave it with me and I'll test it with 4 (and probably more) quests either tonight or tomorrow to see if I can reproduce the issue you're having.

I've just released an update which should hopefully resolve this issue now :)

Let me know if you run into any other problems

Thanks for letting me know.

I'll look into it and get a fix released hopefully later tonight :)

Just released an update which allows you to create repeatable quests :)

Sorry for the late reply.

I think using variables/switches would definitely be the way to go here.

The problem is that quests aren't linked to specific events so has no context outside of the quest's own start/complete conditions.

Thanks, appreciate it :)

I'll definitely look into having different quest types (i.e. Standard and Repeatable) ;)

Yep :)

Yeah :)

If there's any feature requests in addition to those you've mentioned on Discord, then feel free to add any others here too :)

Hi. Thanks it's much appreciated :)

Feel free to use this in your commercial and non-commercial projects.

No. Outside of Bakin, the only 3rd party I've added support for is Steam achievements

Yo, if you want to edit what the banner looks like when you unlock an achievement, you can open your project in Bakin, go to the Layout tool, select "In-Game Effects" folder and go to Free Layouts for Events.

In there will be an "Achievement Earned" layout. Here, you can configure what the banner looks like.

The above assumes you imported the layouts when installing the plugin.

You can create achievements using user interface provided with the plugin. To use it, go to Functions > Expanded features > Achievement system

Yes. Both the free and premium versions get steam achievement integration

An alpha version of steam integration is now available in the latest version :)

I've released an update which should (based on the testing I did) fix the issue.

When you start a new game in your exported project, any achievements you unlocked during a test play should unlock and correctly display the banner  in the exported project now too :)

Just to give an update on this, I've discovered the reason why the banner isn't appearing. I'm now just thinking of the best way to fix the issue.

So, I exported my test project to try and reproduce the problem and here's what I discovered; if you unlock an achievement during a test play (and get the banner), then export the game and try to get that achievement again, you'll get the issue you're experiencing where the banner isn't displayed but the achievement does unlock as normal.

I also noticed that if you unlock an achievement that you didn't unlock during a test play, the banner appears without issue.

I'll keep updating this thread as I go and develop a fix :)

Great stuff. Thanks for the info.

I'll take a look into it

Hi, thanks for letting me know of this.

Does this refer to the banner that appears when you unlock an achievement?

If so, does the achievement still appear unlocked when you go to the achievements list?

Ah okay. I see what you mean.

I can definitely look into it when I get some free time :)

Hi DeHex,

By that, do you mean rather than having a fixed 0 encounters on repel and double encounters on lure, you can configure the encounter rate instead?

If so, I can look into adding something like that to the plugin's user interface.

Hi, not in this version but that is something that's been requested previously.

Unfortunately, Bakin doesn't currently provide the ability to use custom libraries (in this case Steam's APIs) which means it isn't currently possible.

If that changes in the future however, it's something I'll definitely look to incorporate! :)

In my spare time, yeah. Not as actively as it once was though so development will naturally be slower than it used to be

It's a demo but development is on hold right now so it might stay that way for a while

It's because Smile Game Builder isn't an engine you can select on Itch.io's list of engines.

So the most appropriate one in its place was Unity.

• Fixed tonnes of other smaller bugs while doing a playtest, like seriously... I'm surprised the game still worked with some of the bugs I found!

For those of you playing on Android via the Google Play store, please be patient and wait a little while longer. I'm having issues with my digital signature not being accepted so need to resolve this first. This doesn't affect those of you who are playing on android via the direct APK file however.

There were some changes which were planned for this update but turned out to be a bit too much work for this update and have been moved into the eventual 0.8 update instead.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy these changes and be sure to look out for future devlogs about 0.8 :)

Thanks everyone!!!

Rather than just posting comments on the Memories page, you can create a post on the discussion board which is broken into various categories to help identify the types of posts people send :D

Hi everyone,

I've finally released the next big update for Memories (version 0.7)! The update comes a lot of changes which are all listed below.

New additions

Here's the things that were added to the game:

• Additional Story - With another big version number jump comes another chunk of the Memories story being told. The story added to the game takes you through a blast in the not-too-distant past as you walk in the shoes of our friend Ichabod to see how he and Meliodis first met!
• New Battle UI - The user-interface used during battles has been redesigned to give a more sleek and minimalist appearance.
• On-screen Controls - On-screen controls have now been added to the game (screenshot below). For people playing on computers, this can be toggled on/off in the Options menu. For people playing on Android, you'll be given a special Key Item (only on Android version) that allows you to enable or disable the on-screen controls. While the on-screen controls are enabled, click/tap-to-move is disabled.

• New Item - A new item has been added to the game which can be purchased at item shops. The "Teleportation scroll"! It does exactly what it says on the tin, it teleports you. Specifically, it teleports you to the last town you visited.

Changes to existing... things

Here's a list of things that have been changed, redesigned or removed from the game:

• NPC Rework - Most, if not all, NPC's now have a "stepping" animation to them. This means they're no longer stood still while talking to them or while they're idle. This is to help give the game a bit more "flow" or "life". As well as the stepping animation, a LOT of the dialogue has been improved to show more emotion through the use of balloon popups too.
• Additional NPC's - Some maps have had additional NPC's added to them. Currently they can't be talked with but hopefully helps improve the "curb appeal" of some areas.
• Redesigned Maps - Numerous maps have had changes made to them. A lot of them are slight changes to add a bit more greenery however, one map in particular has had a major redesign; Greencoast Docks. Take a look at the before and after below.

• Increased TP Cost - While testing the game, I noticed that my TP bar was nearly always full. To make things a little bit more challenging, I've increased the cost of using TP-based skills so that they each require an additional 10 TP to what they original cost to use.
• Slight changes to enemy stats - A fair few minor tweaks to enemy stats to try and balance combat. Specifically, I've reduced the difficulty of the Imp battle on the bridge after finishing up in Rochwood as I noticed that it was incredibly difficult during testing!
• Default Window Colour - Nothing too special here. Instead of a blue/teal window colour, it's now more of a grey-ish colour tone instead.
• Existing story changes - To make sure the additional story in 0.7 made sense, there were quite a lot of changes that needed making to the existing story plot. I'm not going to spoil where or what the changes were though.
• Removal of Skill Mastery system - If you were ever unlucky enough to encounter a random game-breaking bug during battle (that I thought I had fixed multiple times but hadn't), you'll be glad to know that I've found the definitive cause. The Skill Mastery system. Because of how little I think this system contributes to the game and due to how long I thought it might have taken to debug and try to fix the bug, I thought it best to remove the Skill Mastery system altogether.
• An un-ending list of bugs - The number of bugs I found during a full play test was astonishing. Luckily most of these were found and squashed with my ever-helpful friend Duke on the Memories Discord server.

Possibly some slight bad news for Android players

Recently (in the last month or two), I got a new computer and didn't have the chance to back everything up. One of the things I wasn't able to backup was something called a keystore. The keystore essentially acts as my digital signature for the game.

When trying to upload the 0.7 build of Memories to the Google Play Store, I received an error saying that the new signature I'd created wasn't the same as the one I had lost (rightly so).

With this in mind, I'm temporarily unable to update the version of Memories on the Google Play Store until the support guys at Google have reset the signature for Memories, allowing me to use my new signature (which is backed up).

If you're downloading the .apk file directly to install on your android device then you shouldn't have any problems but, if you normally install/update the game through the Play store, the 0.7 update won't be available until this issue is sorted. Sorry!

Anyway, I think that's everything I wanted to cover. As I usually do after every major version, I'm going to be taking a break from Memories development but will still upload bug fixes and possibly some other smaller changes that I didn't have the chance to do for 0.7.

Be sure to stay tuned for future news updates :) Catch you all later!

Hi everyone,

I recently finished and released my NPC update.

The aim of this update was to breathe more life into the NPCs of my game, Memories.

Rather than being stood still all the time, NPCs will now walk around towns, some other NPCs will talk to each other (via popups above their heads) etc.

Below is a before/after comparison between how the games NPCs previously behaved versus how they do now.

If you'd like to play Memories, you can download it here - https://dalegdawg.itch.io/memories

Hi mont,

I believe I've found and fixed the bugs with the tournament. I'll deploy an update later tonight which should fix it.

For your question about an exit button, there are exit buttons available in-game and at the main menu.

Main menu screenshot 

Hope this helps :)

Hi mont,

I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the game and sorry to hear that you've come across that bug but thanks for pointing it out. I'm taking a look into it now.

Could you tell me how far in the tournament you got (i.e. which monsters you were facing) or, if you became the tournament's champion?

Thanks

Oh no, would you look at that totally not intentional post showing some screenshots of version 0.7 for Memories in this devlog that totally shouldn't have been posted :P

https://dalegdawg.itch.io/memories/devlog/103644/sneak-peak

Following on from this, I have released an update which might fix the issue (fingers crossed) but, without being able to replicate the problem, I can't be certain yet.

I've now released an update which MAY fix the bug however, without being able to replicate the issue, I'm not able to verify that the bug is indeed fixed myself.

Hi all,

I'm aware that there's an issue regarding a game-breaking bug (as seen in previous comments).

Unfortunately, I'm unable to replicate the problem which means it's extremely difficult to fix.

If any of you have experienced this issue, please head over to the devlog linked below and answer some questions for me which will hopefully help me narrow down the issue.

https://dalegdawg.itch.io/memories/devlog/103218/game-breaking-bug

Hi,

There's no fix yet. Can you tell me if you get the error only when you're using the "Double Attack" skill or does it happen when you're using other skills too?

Hi Striker,

Thanks for letting me know about this. I'll have a look into it and get a fix out ASAP.

Fithing this request!

On a game's page where you can edit the theme, it'd be a cool idea if you could embed a youtube video or iframe in place of a banner image.

That way, you could make something like your game's trailer the first thing people see when they look at your game's page.
