Minha intenção era lançar o jogo este ano, mas há muitos assuntos pessoais que estão causando atrasos. Não posso dizer com certeza quando o jogo será lançado.
hey there nice game! Don't give up if it's what you want to do! By the way, do you have an email or another way I can DM? I'd like to ask you something regarding the game!
Thanks! Frame Rate issues are annoying, so I'd love to troubleshoot this more if you're willing help a little bit. If not, it's totally fine. I'm working on some refactoring that "might" solve those issues.
Did you find that your frame rate issues were constant through your entire playthrough? Or was it only an issue at certain parts of the game? Also, would you happen to know what your FPS was? Sorry to ask so many questions.
the framerate issues were random. sometimes it would just dip and then go back to normal and then dip again. unfortunately i do not know what the fps was.
Thank you so much! I was strongly considering releasing an extended demo for players who specifically request it. You just gave me another reason to get it done sooner rather than later. :)
Excellent demo. Love your mapping and the art style. I know the base tilesets is probably Time Fantasy but there's lots of other custom art. Are those created by yourself?
Thank you so much! The custom art you're seeing generally comes from other artists. I do make some custom art and modifications, but I certainly can't take credit for the majority of it.
He's not always available. I just got very lucky, very early. He has such a large following now that I wouldn't even feel comfortable asking him for comissions at this point. If I do, I make sure that it's something that he can share with his patrons.
The demo is fantastic! Just curious, what resolution did you end up setting your game to? I can't seem to find a happy place that doesn't distort the pixel art in some way from full screen mode, but your sizing or "zoom level" seemed good.
The resolution 1280x720. Technically, the pixel art is distorted at 1920x1080, it just might be a little hard to detect since the assets at scaled at 3x
Gotcha - Interesting that on maps I create I felt too "zoomed in" at that resolution but playing your game I did not feel that way. Do you bother with using any of the codes to keep the canvas pixelated or do you let mz blur it. It's hard for me to tell sometimes without a direct comparison.
i've finished the demo, is there a full game somewhere or just a demo? I also applaud you because i'm a bug magnet but except for one texture bug and the lag in the adventurer mini game that was it. Continue the good work
Just a demo for now. I'm glad you enjoyed the game! I also appreciate the feedback. I'm wondering if I can get some details on that, if you don't mind. How bad was the lag in the mini-game? Did you experience a huge FPS drop? Also, do you recall where you saw the texture bug? Thanks for your time!
The lag wasn't that huge but i couldn't reach the 14 score because each time i shot the fps drop also the timer is blocking the view of the 2 top crystal so i never know if they were lit or not. The bug texture was in the forest i don't recall where exactly but i was walking out of bound so i quickly walk back
I am new at itch.io . I discovered website two days ago and it blowed my mind. There are lots of amazing games in here . Your game is one of the great games. Drawings of your game looks great and I like those type of games. I will download soon.
Sorry to hear that. I don't have any difficulty settings planned, but maybe I can help you with a strategy to win the fight? Which fight did you get stuck on?
I stuck on the Fight right after find Angus the Enemy is really hard and i only have the Main Charakter and her sister +Angus but... he is not that strong ^^ 7 or 8 Trys i have allready
Thanks for giving it so many tries! There are many ways to win this battle, but here are a few things should give you a significant advantage. 1. Be sure to extract the Snake Stone, which gives you the "Bind" skill. Use this on the Cerberus to inflict the ATK Down status effect. 2. Keep some "Small Holy Balms" in your inventory to remove negative status effects 3. Be sure to use Angus' "Sludge Bomb" skill when needed. This can delay the Cerberus' next turn so that you have a chance to heal party members with low HP before it attacks. 4. Lastly, the Cerberus is weak to Fire elemental damage, so use Ysabel's "Fireball" spell as often as you can.
Hey uhh... idk why but i downloaded and unzip the game just fine but when i tried double clicking the "Haven" file its not launching the game. Can someone help me?
Hey there! I'm sorry to hear that you're having this issue. I've just tried downloading the file myself, and it runs with no issues. I've also received some recent feedback from other players who managed to run the file. Out of curiosity, can you explain what's specifically happening when you click the file? Is there an error? Does your OS lock up? Is there any response at all?
The game file just simply wont run. Downloaded the game, unziped it, Opened the game folder, I double clicked the Haven file, my mouse cursor got the blue circling thingy that always means the file is being processed, then nothing. I waited for at least 5 minutes but nothing comes up. No error message, No file missing error, just nothing.
That's really odd. I'm going to look into this today. It'll be a little tough since I can't reproduce the error. But I'm sure someone else has run into this issue at some point. Let me do some digging and I'll get back to you! Thanks for your time!
I should ask first, do you use the RPG Maker Software at all on your PC?
I don't quite understand what you mean by that, do you mean the software that many game maker use to make game? if it is then nope, I don't think I have it. I never make any kind of game. But if you mean like a software that makes my pc run an rpg game i think i do have it but I'm not sure too, because I've played rpg game with pixelated texture like this although not the same and I can play it. It would be weird if I only can't play this game. Try checking a game creator called "VasantJ" , that's the kind of rpg game that I usually play. (Btw english is not my first language so I hope you can still understand what I'm trying to say, the game looks pretty cool so I'm hoping that whatever the problem is will be solved)
No problem! I understood perfectly! I've asked around about this problem, and it's possible that the issue could be linked to anti-virus software not liking the .exe file. So I'm going to reupload this. I'm quite busy with work/life so I don't think I'll get to it today. Hopefully tomorrow. I'll be sure to let you know once that is done! Thanks again for your time!
Can we take a moment to appreciate this underrated masterpiece?there's no way this guy spended all his free time to create an rpg all by himself for years on itch? °•°
This truly shows how this work is truly loved by the creator!
I generally try to reply to everyone, but for whatever reason, I totally missed this comment. And it's one of the best ones! So sorry about that. I know it's late, but I just wanted to show you my appreciation for this. Thank you!
I just downloaded the demo and haven't even played it yet but, I will say that I am grateful that even after 5 years you have not given up on this project and are still pushing through. As so many great games never get made because their developers give up on them. So truly thank you for putting all that you have into this. You are an amazing human being.
Thank you so much for this message! It's so refreshing to hear. The passion is definitely still there for this project. I don't see myself ever dropping this project, no matter how long it takes me to finish it. I "try" to work on it at least a few days a week. It's just that after having a son, and switching careers, my life has been pretty busy. I do hope that you enjoy the demo though! If you have the time, please let me know how it goes! Thanks again!
That's exactly what I'm going for, so when I hear someone say it looks and & feels like a game from the 90s, it's a huge win for me. Thank you so much!
Firstly I must say this game has bopping music. For the length I have played, the story was quite engaging. The gameplay follows the same style as a turn based rpg but still adds some new mechanics like the EP instead of MP which can be recovered by guarding. I think the difficulty of the game is quite manageable although I died almost not close to the end of the demo :| I enjoy for how long I've played and can't wait to see more :D!
No plans to bring it over. But anything is possible. My main concern with porting the game over to different platforms is quality assurance. I'm not confident that this game would work well on a console. Thanks for your support!
Thank you so much! I believe you left some feedback on the survey as well. Your feedback was great, and I'll be taking a second look at elemental affinities.
Honestly, this is pure laziness on my part. I never really took the time to dig into exporting to Mac. If it were as simple as clicking a button, I'd do it. But from what I'm told, it's not that easy unless you're developing on a Mac version of the software I'm using. I'll definitely make it a goal of mine to figure it out though. Thanks for your interest!
Love this game! My completionism is very happy with side quests.
I did notice that in the nova ring shooter game, sometimes it would continue the game after the timer stopped, and I had to restart the game from a save point.
I got so close to the 15 hits! But I could only manage 14. Any tips?
That's a really interesting bug. Thanks for the heads up! Super glad you enjoyed it. As for tips on the mini-game? Try not to travel too far between targets. :)
Thank you! You're the first to ask for a Mac release, actually. The final product should definitely be available for Mac. Just not sure about recent demos, because I'm still updating them.

Muito bom o game, Quando sera lançado ?
Minha intenção era lançar o jogo este ano, mas há muitos assuntos pessoais que estão causando atrasos. Não posso dizer com certeza quando o jogo será lançado.
Que de tudo certo, vou ficar esperando pelo game.
Muito obrigado. Eu prometo que não vou desistir.
hey there nice game! Don't give up if it's what you want to do! By the way, do you have an email or another way I can DM? I'd like to ask you something regarding the game!
Nice game so far. Best of luck if you keep going. I sent you a half a coffee. Happy Holidays
The best kind of gesture in my eyes! Thank you, and happy holidays!
rpg maker game?
Yes.
Very nice JRPG, so polished. Combat is fun.
Thank you so much!
Great game so far, but I'm still having framerate issues even after turning on the lite mode.
Thanks! Frame Rate issues are annoying, so I'd love to troubleshoot this more if you're willing help a little bit. If not, it's totally fine. I'm working on some refactoring that "might" solve those issues.

No problem! I appreciate the quick response! Hopefully it didn't ruin your experience too much. Sorry about that.
Ahhhh! wowowowowowow I loved the demo! The battle system is so refreshing! Big fan of the art style and animations. I'm craving more hahaha!
Thank you so much! I was strongly considering releasing an extended demo for players who specifically request it. You just gave me another reason to get it done sooner rather than later. :)
Hi Neo,

Thank you so much! The custom art you're seeing generally comes from other artists. I do make some custom art and modifications, but I certainly can't take credit for the majority of it.
👍Paid artist? Any recommendations?
The paid artist that I go to for commissions is the TF asset creator.
oh nice. I did not realise he is available for commission. Thanks for the info.
He's not always available. I just got very lucky, very early. He has such a large following now that I wouldn't even feel comfortable asking him for comissions at this point. If I do, I make sure that it's something that he can share with his patrons.

This definitely helps. Thanks for the response! I'll look into these issues soon.
plase
Hope all is going well man! Still one of my games to watch! Hoping it is progressing well!
I appreciate the follow up! Things are going fantastic and I've made a lot of progress over the last couple weeks. Still going strong!

It run smooth. And look really good. Is there some Difficult Settings planed? I stuck in one fight

Thx for your Strategy! :) i give it a try. I have used 2 Stones... but not sure which but yeah snake Stone i allready had. I use it now

Nearly 5 years, still a demo?
Yup! Might be another five years before a release. Maybe even ten! Who knows. :)
Arguably one of the best RM games, and I don't say that lightly.
Looks great very 90s
That's exactly what I'm going for, so when I hear someone say it looks and & feels like a game from the 90s, it's a huge win for me. Thank you so much!
Is this 64 bit
Is it not, unfortunately.
This game is just beautiful and very relaxing.
Enjoyed every minute of it.
Thank you so much!
heya! which scripts didja use? i´m making an similar game and wanted to know.
It'd be too much to give you an entire list of scripts. I used a lot of them. But I also used quite a bit of my own code.
You did an outstanding job on your demo! Nice mapping, interesting yet simple storyline, enjoyable play.
Thank you so much! Simplicity is definitely what I'm going for. Glad you enjoyed it! Still working hard on it too.
Firstly I must say this game has bopping music. For the length I have played, the story was quite engaging.

I think the difficulty of the game is quite manageable although I died almost not close to the end of the demo :| I enjoy for how long I've played and can't wait to see more :D!
Thanks for the feedback! Glad you enjoyed it. Let me also say that I appreciate your dedication to playing RM games. Every little bit helps.
This game was super fun. I strongly recommend it to everyone looking at this game!
Looks interesting, love the song for the gameplay montage, can't actually try it though b/c I'm on a MacBook :(
Gorgeous art style and very nice battle mechanics!
Thank you so much for the comment! I'm still working very hard on this. :)
This project seems like a lot of fun to play.
Do you have any plans to bring your game to Playstation? It’d be a day 1 purchase for me.
Sorry for the late response!
No plans to bring it over. But anything is possible. My main concern with porting the game over to different platforms is quality assurance. I'm not confident that this game would work well on a console. Thanks for your support!
i love the story it makes me want to play more :)
old looking graphics are good too , like you wrote up it's like being back in the 90's for those of us who were teenagers back then.
great game :)
Thank you so much! I believe you left some feedback on the survey as well. Your feedback was great, and I'll be taking a second look at elemental affinities.
yes i did a feedback :) i think those are important for games :)
spanish version pls!
portuguese version PLZZZZZZZZ

Best RPG Maker game I've ever played
Wow... Thank you! These kind of comments are always so motivating.
Love this game! My completionism is very happy with side quests.

Oh, look, it's commie Bernie! All these nazi sympathizers need to get out of our country!
Great game!!! Just right. When are you releasing the full game???
Thank you so much for the feedback! I've been very busy as of late. But I'm hoping to release the game by mid-2021.
Sounds great. I would rather it take longer and you work all the kinks and bugs out than rush it. Thanks for getting back to us!
