Roboguard Exterminator deals damage to all units, not just Organic ones.

Ah OK. Probably will only do to organic as the description says :)
Descoria Chaser enemy is flashing (like it can attack)?

Yes it's because has double attack, the standard behavior. Unless you mean something else?


Lola Fox appear in some of the (Graciela) crew/camp chats before she's officially "introduced" after one of the earlier attacks

Perhaps an idea to wait letting us talk to the base-personell , at least the ones where Lola appear until she first appear an introduce herself?

Uh, which scenes are they? You should be able to play only the 1st friendship with Graciela before Lola shows up. I thought I made sure that she didn't show up before she was introduced!! :lol:

I cannot put some on hold, all need to start at same time otherwise might be hard to reach some romance endings.



edit: indeed is the 1st Graciela friendship scene, the VN Mode allows you to talk one time earlier than it should :P in normal mode was working OK, that's why I didn't notice before. Thanks for spotting it :)

Well, it's an enemy unit that's flashing on my turn, that looks strange. Ok, all enemy double attack units flash on my turn (at least if they've just been summoned).

I wasn't able to finish a romance with Diana, despite having only one jealousy scene.

Well, I'm open to suggestions on the last battles. I thought I made them hard, but apparently...!

Hmm and you talked every time ?

Probably the easiest solution could be to make the jealousy scenes not count as a talk (so you can talk again to that character the same "turn").

Or I could also add another "break" to do missions/talk somewhere along the main plot.

I didn't need 100 Health to begin with, that's for sure, I would have run out of cards long before I ran out of Health. I think the enemy needs to draw two cards per turn or something, because once you have the upper hand, the enemy can never make a comeback, I kill everything they put down with minimal losses on my side. I almost always end up with my entire unit row filled and several backup units in my hand.



There was one enemy deck that drew 3 cards, then 3 more, that was the only one that could try to keep up.

AFAIK, yes, I took every opportunity to talk. It's possible I missed one due to messing around with multiple saves, I can't be absolutely certain, but I think I got them all. I did notice that Alex seemed to finish his romances earlier than Diana, or maybe I'm hallucinating? It could mean I missed a talk somewhere.



Anyway, these were all the new cards I managed to use in the final missions:



Bunker (broke it, should be better now)

Assault Hovercraft (too good)

Kamikaze (nice crowd control)

Laser Squad (because so many Robotic enemies, but ultimately wasn't very good)



I'll mess around with more cards in the last side missions and try different paths.



I'm assuming there were other possible fights than just all Robot enemies, but the path I took, I could stick with a single deck, because I met the same enemies every fight. While the enemy deck had some strong cards, I had to be pretty unlucky to lose, even on Hard.

I see, thanks will add that special card "Rush" to the final deck too :)

No the way romances works are the same for Diana/Alex (it's identical code) so that's not possible. Anyway, I'm uploading a new update with two big changes:

1) jealousy scenes don't count (so you can talk again same turn)

2) added TWO more breaks. In practice in scene 16 and 21 you do two consecutive team talk. This way even if you missed one, you should still unlock the romance (I think even if you missed two, but I'm not 100% sure)

I think maybe I need to add some "actions" that can kill some of your units or stuff like that. The card units are pretty strong, but the actions not much (Palidrayans are more powerful).

Ok, since Master Assassin gives himself +1/+1, he's essentially a 5/7 double attack unit, that's a bit much, don't you think?



Skip mode continues after battles, probably that should be turned off.



It's a little hard to give exact advice because all fights have different conditions and there's the random factor, but in this fight fx, clearly it doesn't look like I'm playing on Hard. I haven't been hit a single time! This enemy even played Rush several times.

Haha yes true :)

Well skip works only if you've already read those texts. Anyway I can check how to stop it after a fight.

You mean the sidemissions ? Or what mission is that one?

Ah yes, need to ask Anima how to not count the player when attacking :)

Romance CG with Rigel didn't dissapear until the end of the game
jack1974 Dec 20, 2015
Ah thanks :lol: it's because is too good :wink:

Joking of course, will check that!

Do you have a save before the romance triggers? that would be helpful :)
Franka Dec 20, 2015

That example was mission 25 when staying to defend the base. I start with 3 weak Cannon Turrets, before they're gone, I have already gotten the upper hand and the enemy can't catch up.
jack1974 Dec 20, 2015
I see, maybe if you can make a list of the battles that for you are really too easy, and will make them harder. I'm a bit hesitant to do big changes, since like with RPGs some veteran players found the battles too easy, but for others they were too hard :mrgreen:

Also might be that one particular deck you built is really powerful 8)
Franka Dec 20, 2015
Good fight: Fighting both Dredans and Descorians. That was a hard fight!



Yes, I can try to make a list of fights that could use some tweaking. I need a few days for that though.
jack1974 Dec 20, 2015
Yes of course, no hurry :) I am waiting for the final deck screen GUI as well.

What's New in 0.8.8

- updated to latest Ren'Py. Now if you have the desktop DPI set at higher zoom, the game window will zoom accordingly. For example I have it at 125%, so the window will be 25% bigger. This is how was supposed to work following Microsoft standards. You can of course still play it fullscreen like before with no change.

Sometime recently, the Ren'Py bug I had with fullscreen on a Retina display (OS X) got fixed. Would be interesting to see if updating Ren'Py on your other games (Loren, Sotw, PS1) would fix that too.
