Thanks for playing and feedback!

I removed the auto-equip button from the Equipment menu (that's why it has a weird space next to "Clear" button) because it simply maximizes raw stats with no regard for anything else. Tweaking this mechanic is something I did in Untitled so it should be possible to make it work nicely.

In order to reduce time and effort required to equip an adventurer, The following features are added to the To-Do list:

• The auto-equip button will be added back to the Equipment menu.
• Priorities in auto-equipment are partly character-based, not always class-based. For example, different Wizards will wield Staffs of different elements but all of them wear Robes.
  • Unless a higher-tier Swords/Armors are in the inventory. In that case, they grudgingly take them.
• At least in the Equipment menu, items will be sorted by "tiers (descending) then types", instead of the current "types then tiers (ascending)". This will make it easier to re-equip adventurers after they auto-equip themselves.

In the current version of this game (and my previous work Temple of Trials) TFs are done instantaneously with a flash of the screen. With the side-view layout of the battle scene, it could be odd to describe what is happening with the TF victim visibly standing on-screen. Adding graphical TF sequences is not an option either for many reasons.

I like the idea of adding descriptions though, so maybe I will resort to screen fade-out to hide adventurers mid-TF.

Thanks for playing and feedback! I don't think I can give favorable answers this time though.

You can steal equipment from adventurers by repeating "Replace Adventurers". It came more from limitations of game-making than from my intention. For details:

• The Tavern Keep's "Leave your equipment here" is added to prevent the player from accidentally losing high-tier equipment because they forgot to un-equip the adventurer-to-fire. Stealing equipment is a side-effect caused by this feature.
• It's possible to add codes to take the fired adventurer's starting equipment from the party. Then the player could just sell it before it happens.
• It's probably possible to add codes to force the party to buy the equipment back when they happened to have sold them. Then the player might decide to buy something else so they cannot afford it.
• This can be solved by simply removing starting equipment from non-first adventurers, but then it would also remove some of the already-limited characterization of the adventurers.

Magic Flowers' skills are technically neutral, since they target both groups (perhaps I'll make them less likely to hit allies to show they're still your friends). They just tend to mess up your strategies, and Treant just happens to be immune to them. I personally like the current mechanic of that battle. Because:

• Requiring the player's input will emphasize the fact that the adventurer is transformed into a monster, rather than replaced with one.
• The truth: I played Digest Quest by konoe, which occasionally does this presumably for the reason above. Then the much better-known Cassette Beasts, where you can control a sleeping/confused/petrified character to a reduced effectiveness. Then I wanted to do something like those.

I'm not allowing to cure TFs (and make adventurers not so expendable) in gameplay, at least not too freely. Curing TFs is already possible in lore: TF'd and fired adventurers will go to "the Sanctuary" (basically the same facility as one in Untitled TF RPG) and get their human bodies back, as the Chicken explains in one of his dialogues.

• Actually, this is another "more from limitations than from intention" feature; my intention was to make TFs permanent this time. But it turned out that the game cannot randomly generate player characters (or somewhat bad at it), so I have to make some and re-use them.
• I'm making TFs in this games as inevitable and permanent as reasonably possible. Replacing adventurers is this game's method of getting human adventurers after your party members are TF'd.

If I am to make new skills which infect TFs to other party members, I would add some benefits to them, basically making them magic skills which spend other members' MP instead of the user's. This way, such skills can be used even by "serious" players. But I feel that designing such skills for every monster would be too much work, so many monsters would receive generic ones or none at all.

If your point is a simple "this game's TFs need easier accesses", I agree - it's sometimes hard to get TF'd in this game.

I'm not adding a toggle option which impacts effects of actions or difficulty of the game. If you don't want your party members to do MP damage, just choose skills which don't involve it.

Also, if TF'd monster's skills are too unfavorable, just don't get TF'd - Once you reach the end of the Forest maze, trigger the message but don't go further immediately, use Orb of Wings to return to the Tavern and remove low-MP adventurers from the party, then go directly to the boss battle. This game will be balanced around this strategy. At least I will make it clear that you can teleport to the boss once you have reached there.

There is another building in the Desert, where you fight a boss before going to the next area.

This map has vertical and horizontal loops like some JRPGs' world maps, but you can use objects scattered there to see when you have walked an entire loop.

Thanks for playing! I'm happy to see you enjoyed my game.

My game might look creative and unique to you, but I have to mention that many parts of this game is based on player feedback. For example, the TF description is added after receiving a feedback from TuxedoedPenguin, and the ability to 'infect' transformation between party members is based on nivada94's idea.

For the final boss battle, the idea to force the player to use multiple parties was there since an early stage of the development. It didn't necessarily have to "a champion party first, a human party later", but it was the easiest to implement.

Humans' immunity to petrification is actually noted in one of the books found in the tavern's basement. But, perhaps I could use this "a charm that protects one champion from the final boss's curse" anyway.

I'm actually planning some more changes on this game, but I'll make sure I won't break what's already there.
