SOTW 0.8.9 - First Act Beta preview!

[jack1974]

Okay for those waiting I think is better if I warn you right now
I found a small bug on using items, plus some "plot holes" when completing the last quests (my fault, not writer's) so I need to set some better variable checks. Plus I'm still adding those extra item rewards. So in practice, no beta today sorry! I'm just adding some last minute stuff so is hard to know exactly how long will take, but I believe tomorrow or Sunday could be out. Thanks for the patience!

Aw, Saturday, pretty please. Sunday's football Sunday

[jack1974]

Haha yes, the final with Germany who is surely going to win their 4th cup

[jack1974]

All right, is all done! So tomorrow morning will do a last check (now head is exploding! ) but at this point 100% happens tomorrow late morning/afternoon! for people in other timezones, it means in 16-20 hours from now!

[yayswords]

No, I think you should doublecheck everything. Or triple or whatever. The 8-ball says to release it early Sunday morning. Else the world is doomed forever.

[jack1974]

Haha I'm at one point where I could check it 100 times and couldn't find anything
Don't know if there's a term for it, but you know, it happens both in coding, writing, doing math, etc. You are stuck and no matter how long you try, you don't see the most obvious things. While a random guy passing by just looking for 30seconds would say "there is the problem!"

There is actually a term, and its called 'overlook'. At least its a little shorter than 'fail to notice'.

I know when editors look at something, they usually catch the worst mistakes the first time through...

Jack, buddy ole pal! You're killing me here! XD

Lol that is what beta testers are for! We're her for you, test us! XD, Use us, lol borerline abuse us!

[jack1974]

Oh don't worry you'll have quite some work to do on this act 2. I thought was easier since is more linear, but in the last part there are 4 different quest for each family so is easy to mix up the variables and have unexpected behaviors

[Lonestar51]

Right, use us! As you have found a bunch of masochists who enjoy crashing games (and of course yell... ahem ... telling politely in the forum).
