V0.9.18 - Can't seem to escape the outcast mastermind. At all. Chapter 5 - Catching the Mastermind is also not in the walkthrough. Got pulled into the underground area due to hypnosis after researching the museum. Tried turning into a mouse, but get caught after she turns back as soon as I try to leave, which gives a game over.
This one uses visual hints: if you light only one fireplace, you might see that the smoke goes to the left or to the right, depending on which side the lit fireplace is. Also, you'll notice that each fireplace has some "unique-looking" tiles south of it, and this is true for the central chimney as well. These indicate the "strength" of the fire (and the target for the chimney).
The lit fireplaces must reach 5 strength to the left and to the right to solve the puzzle. It's a bit abstract, but it's a magic challenge, after all. XD
If you check the game's page, at the bottom, there is a link to download the RTP. The RTP is just a bunch of basic assets for RPG Maker. Instead of redownloading them all the time, you just get them once and install them separately, so the game's size is smaller.
Hey mdqp I've been monitoring dev logs and it seems production has still been going strong are you making to projects at the same time? TOTDC 2 and caliross? tell me a little
Yeah, I am mostly working on Caliross, and I do a little work on TOTDC 2 on the side to hopefully have it ready once Caliross is finished. Did you have any specific questions about either project?
It might depend on when we talked specifically, but It's been a mix of underestimating what was still left, expanding the scope a bit and some health issues I was having last year and for the first half of this year, which reduced my ability to work consistently on the game.
hmm our conversation is a bit down the comment list, but it is definitely one of the longest here. I hope your in good health while I had many things to say, I really hope the walkthrough is coming along, because I'm thinking of doing another playthrough and it would be nice to have a good walkthrough, because Caliross often throws things at you that you do not expect (some really random stuff ;-;) while that is good i like doing a hundred percent of a game so walkthrough please ;-;
I haven't updated the walkthrough in the last 2-3 months, I think, but it's been mostly a lot of small stuff added that shouldn't be too hard to find (since I have been working on a larger quest on the side, there shouldn't be too much content that needs guidance among the additions).
I'll try to update it soon, though, as that's always something people are looking forward to.
Coming back after a long while, love the game you've made! Anyway, the slime girl in the forest doesn't ever appear. Tried during the day, the night, full moon where I got attacked by wolves, but no slime for the adventurer's guild
Did you use "Detect Magic" to track her down? When you first go through the forest, she is hiding on one of the trees. There is a "magical trail" from when you enter the forest that you can detect and follow to reach her.
Are all of the different paths and routes still confusing to navigate? It's been quite since I played this but I recall having some trouble navigating the different paths, even with the walkthrough.
I don't think I have really simplified any of the paths, to be honest. For better of for worse, the game's design has stayed more or less the same over time. If you have something specific in mind, I could maybe you give some more details.
That's still a thing. There are some ways around that: you can find a magical being (a dragon) well hidden in the game, and he can grant you 3 wishes to undo certain paths (so you can in theory see some mutually exclusive content). Then again, that probably counts as making things more complicated. XD
Love the game, but i've encountered a problem (maybe a softlock?) that i can't figure out how to get past. Edit: literally seconds after posting this i figured it out :3 anyways, love the game, though i guess i wish there was more interactive-ness in the actual nsfw scenes, but its still great
I'm on chapter 2 and I did some guild quests and got to the one about escorting a merchant and Bandits robbed him. I went to the Boss area but I was way under-leveled and didn't have any items with me so no matter how I play it out I get killed every time. And I can't exit the area either.
If this is the quest "Experienced Escort" there is actually a secret way to avoid the boss fight. You can hear the other bandits talk about how the boss is scared of lightning, and using your lightning spell on the cross will make him faint on the spot. XD
Glad I could inspire you to seek out more games. RPG Maker games are relatively easy to make, so you get more sub-par entries, however there are still plenty of well-made adventures to find out there.
That's accessible to you only if you become a noble. To do that, there is a specific quest you must complete in chapter 2 (The Prodigal Son) and then you must take part in the selection process.
Check out the walkthrough linked in the game's folder, you should be able to get all the details you need.
You must be a noble first. If you are, and you have gone to your mansion, you can speak to Keiko there (on the second floor). Talking to her allows you to buy a carriage, and you can use that to go to the royal castle.

If you escape from the room as a mouse, turn around and lock the door behind you before continuing on, you are almost there!

I've tried both dl links, but when I open the game it says
RPGVXAce RTP is required to run this game.
what exactly do I have to do, in order to play the game?
If you check the game's page, at the bottom, there is a link to download the RTP.

Hi there!
Yeah, I am mostly working on Caliross, and I do a little work on TOTDC 2 on the side to hopefully have it ready once Caliross is finished. Did you have any specific questions about either project?
last time we talked you said caliross is almost finished so did you have a change of mind or what?
It might depend on when we talked specifically, but It's been a mix of underestimating what was still left, expanding the scope a bit and some health issues I was having last year and for the first half of this year, which reduced my ability to work consistently on the game.

Glad you are enjoying the game! ^_^

Where can i find the barracks in "The prodigal son" quest? I cant seem to find it
*Edit. i found it
Is hypnotism the main kink of this game?
Yes, mind control is the main kink. There are many others, but that's a big focus.
Are all of the different paths and routes still confusing to navigate? It's been quite since I played this but I recall having some trouble navigating the different paths, even with the walkthrough.
I don't think I have really simplified any of the paths, to be honest. For better of for worse, the game's design has stayed more or less the same over time. If you have something specific in mind, I could maybe you give some more details.
Well I just recall that there's multiple paths for each "storyline" (e.g. the vampire blocking another path)
That's still a thing. There are some ways around that: you can find a magical being (a dragon) well hidden in the game, and he can grant you 3 wishes to undo certain paths (so you can in theory see some mutually exclusive content). Then again, that probably counts as making things more complicated. XD
Love the game
, but i've encountered a problem (maybe a softlock?) that i can't figure out how to get past.
Edit: literally seconds after posting this i figured it out :3anyways, love the game, though i guess i wish there was more interactive-ness in the actual nsfw scenes, but its still great
Glad you like the game. As a reference, what kind of interactiveness do you have in mind for the scenes?
God damn what a journey from the Drunken Cowboy to here.
Great work done here, as expected, can't really get enough of it. Thank you!
Thank you for playing the game! :)
The amount of content blew me away.
That said I got soft-locked pretty early on.
I'm on chapter 2 and I did some guild quests and got to the one about escorting a merchant and Bandits robbed him. I went to the Boss area but I was way under-leveled and didn't have any items with me so no matter how I play it out I get killed every time. And I can't exit the area either.
Glad you liked the amount of content.
If this is the quest "Experienced Escort" there is actually a secret way to avoid the boss fight. You can hear the other bandits talk about how the boss is scared of lightning, and using your lightning spell on the cross will make him faint on the spot. XD
This game was my first amazing payoff for trying rpgm games.
Thank you! You gave me faith and the desire to seek more
Glad I could inspire you to seek out more games. RPG Maker games are relatively easy to make, so you get more sub-par entries, however there are still plenty of well-made adventures to find out there.
Where can I find the royal library?
That's accessible to you only if you become a noble. To do that, there is a specific quest you must complete in chapter 2 (The Prodigal Son) and then you must take part in the selection process.
Check out the walkthrough linked in the game's folder, you should be able to get all the details you need.
How to talk to the emperor in chapter 3 or 4?
You must be a noble first. If you are, and you have gone to your mansion, you can speak to Keiko there (on the second floor). Talking to her allows you to buy a carriage, and you can use that to go to the royal castle.
Thank you.
