Some Bullshit - Stuffing Focused RPG Maker Game

someone else got stuck in the chocolate factory?

Thanks, I hope you like it! If you do end up making any sprites that you want to share, I’ll gladly take a look at them, but please do not feel pressured to or anything like that. If I need to get more sprites I have my ways, I am not completely helpless.

Rumpel, what part are you stuck in? The replay gem number 5, could you describe what the gem says?

Alex, yes that is my attempt to make do with what I can. Hence the merchant party having a ā€œhammerspaceā€ tummy or the bridge control requiring ETV to focus on concentrating and keeing it under pressure. Candy room might just be super fast digestion. Either way story reasons help explain real life limitations.

An imagine of cozy home laid out for a large lunch. But within, an evil lurks, ready to attack…
Wait, you didn’t enjoy this lunch in the cozy jome!
you can’t remember this at all! Almost like you skipped out on searching through the backwoods ski trail for the hidden exit!

Hmmm sounds like you skipped out on searching through the backwoods ski trail for the hidden exit! I’d go to the backwoods ski trail and look for the hidden exit which starts a quest with the ski patrol officer at the mountain base.

Yeah, I missed the backwoods plot hook as well at the time. It might be worth having an NPC mention a line about trying the backwoods over the course of the skiing contest since it’s easy to get tunnel-vision and overlook the extra trail during it.
(I had assumed it was just an endless mode for people who just like skiing)

I noticed the path to the side my 1st time through, but I was focused on the races, and didn’t think to go back(until my 2ed playthrough).

Hello, I need some help in getting further.
I am now in Nordenhaven and need to get to the lab but first I need to find Captain Albrecht Ludendorf.
Where is he located at? I can’t seem to find him and I searched the town and everything nearby all over.

Off the top of my head, there should be a guard station or jail near the centre of town. His office is upstairs.

OH MY GOD
FINALLY, THANK YOU
It was in the guardstation but I thought the stairs are decoration for the one giving out weapons.
It didn’t work to go upstairs so I was really at my wits end.

No probs :+1: Enjoy the next part. It’s a great section!

This is by far the best game that I’ve seen in the genre. So much so, that I literally made an account to say that, after lurking for quite a long time.

The stuffing aspect, especially the descriptions are great, and also manage to feel fresh each time.
The storyline is immersive and engaging, which is something that many games in the genre are lacking in.
I think one of the best aspects to this game is the humour that goes on. Pro with his habit of opening chests, and Emmie with her relationship with ETV, Marcus and also Thad/Chad coming back, the goblins, idiotic guards, and so many more!
The facial expressions in the character portraits really add a lot of intricacies and emotion, well done!
The thing I thought was the most lacklustre was probably the artwork, which was edified with Ellie, which was a pleasant surprise!
The minigames were really superb, I liked how they were all different and yet made sense story-wise. The most difficult one was probably the burping one. Timing 10 sec was hard.
The quest journal is a really welcome addition, as it does help a lot for people who are scatterbrained like me. A map also would be amazing, once the game is complete.

One bug that I distinctly remember is that after clearing the bandit outpost in the sewers, I got stuck in the bottom left hand corner for some reason. Had to reload a save, but I guess that’s not a major issue.

Also, if you try to go into the waterfall again, there is a visual bug.

Just making sure that I’m not supposed to have been able to find the gem for Pro’s sword? If I had to guess, it would have been the gem that ETV told Emmie to eat maybe? Also making sure that there isn’t a way to go through the sparkling windows?

On a final note, I mistakenly choose not to eat Clara’s chocolate on the cruise ship, and saved right after. Hopefully I didn’t miss anything? Oh, I also didn’t get the crystal labelled ā€˜Don’t worry, I checked.’, which I’m guessing is because Emmie ate all the food in the inn in Wippsbruck? Any way to get missed ones later on? I also expected the merchant buffet to be one of the crystals as well, was slightly disappointed to find out it was not.

I’m excited for future updates! Well done!

Hey, thanks for the comments! I am glad you enjoyed it. The chocolate bar on the cruise is either Emmie eating it and getting a glutton point, or giving it to Clara and getting no glutton point. Slight change in scene where one is more full than the other. To be honest, it is so minor that I forgot to even build a way to track it, so I can’t even write a follow up scene to comment on it after the fact. Which is why when you meet the princess and the fairy, the fairy can’t comment and Emmie protests… I can’t actually tell which path the player took!

If you missed a scene with 1 way path, at the moment there is no way to go back. Might add it later, but my priority is making new content at the moment. The next update is coming along really well, have about another hour and a half of story stuff already in, at least one more hour left. And then some good side content after that! Merchant buffet I may make a replay of, but we, Clinko and I, want to add a bit of content via the new bubbles first. But Clinko is a busy guy and focuses his efforts on the new at the moment! There is a ton I still have planned so I sadly can’t give an ETA yet, as I don’t know how long some stuff will take to put together.

I was able to fix the waterfull bug, which will be in the next release and for those who had trouble finding the stairs in Nordenhaven I made it more obvious for those that follow in your footsteps.

Hey guys can someone please tell me where I can play the burping game?

Back at the goblin brewery, I believe?

I decided to create new runthrough for the missing crystal - so much time cut down lol!

I noticed that the event that triggers after eating everything in the candy store (the part when they talk about what happened in the store, with Pro in the inn) re-occurred when going into the inn again, after going out. So that scene triggered twice.

Oh, I will take a look at that. Strange, I have not seen that bug before.

Had fun until politics. You have shown me something that has traumatized me several times before. Politics and paperwork are the devil’s work, and you truly showed that.

OMG I just realized that Pro’s name is a pun.

Nice! But Emmie seems to be more the protagonist, Pro’s just her guard. Especially since there were 3 moments where they got separated, and we saw Emmie’s perspective instead of Pro’s.(The one moment where it was the other way around(the hidden candy room early on), was incredibly brief(and Emmie even recounted it in her story to Ellie(Abridged Vegeta:How do you know about the parts you weren’t there for?).))

Thank you very much!
