Other positions in the town is an interesting idea for making use of charm. I like it!

And yeah, there should definitely be more charm-based stat checks.

Like getting a girl to kiss you, which might heal your HP.

Unfortunately, I think she'd have to kiss the entire party due to the way events work in dungeons 

[Ryavis]

She kisses you and then you brag about it to your party members until they heal themselves just to get you to shut up.

[pulsemeat]

Heh, I was thinking that myself. But actually, an extra healing point per dungeon based on a charm requirement is a really interesting idea.

OK, I've put up what should be the final (unstable) version of this edition of the game. There's now a Hall of Legends you can visit after you've finished the game once to see your progress, and it includes an unlockable super-challenge that you can try with heroes you've saved:

And since a lot of people have played the game a number of times already and probably wouldn't appreciate having to play through with the same characters again, I've made this:

Download the above and drop it into your Dungeons of Fayte folder. With it, you can tell the game what you've already completed. Be honest! Note that while this will let you unlock progress, you won't get any saved characters, so if you want to try the ultimate challenge, you'll have to beat the game again with the classes you want to play.

Naturally, there are other things to unlock, and I've also improved the Buccaneer by giving him a completely different special attack. There have been a few other tweaks and fixes; let me know if you encounter any problems.

Extra thanks to Geeze for his art on two new characters!

YAY! A new version!!!!!

My character freezes when I try to "load" a saved hero from the hall of heroes. =(

I just realized one major source of problems might be how values are written out on computers from different countries. Are you in the US or elsewhere, patata?

[patata]

Argentina.

[pulsemeat]

According to wikipedia, Argentina uses commas as its decimal separators. Since Game Maker writes out real valued numbers based on the computer's region settings, but then fails to actually read them in again, that's probably the problem.

Obviously, I'll put together a solution ASAP, but in the meantime you might be able to fix the problem by going into the save files (named by class in the game's /Data folder) and changing all the commas to periods.

I replaced all commas with periods, but the problem persists!

Ugggh this is starting to look unpleasant. Any chance you could post the contents of one of those save files? I have a feeling that things aren't saving the same on other peoples' computers as they are on mine.

PM sent.

The new additions are fun.  I like the new harder-than-the-Bone-Lord challenges.

The sharp version of the executable looks exactly like the fuzzy version for me, except for in the sharp version there are black boxes around all of the sprites where it should be transparent.

[pulsemeat]

I just put up a new version that SHOULD fix the save problem. Unfortunately, it means that previous saved characters will no longer work (although I shouldn't need to change them again so this will be the last time). I think the problem was because I was foolishly assuming that data references would be stable across different plays (which is why it seemed to be working some times and not others).

Fortunately, it's pretty easy to fix your save data, which can be transferred over from the /Data folder...

HOW TO FIX SAVED CHARACTERS (don't look if you don't need to and don't want to tempt yourself)



Here's an example of the new format for Archer.txt, with a character named CLUBBO:

CLUBBO
Archer
40
80
20
40
20
Plutonium Bow
Cloth Tunic
Eagle Ring

Previously, it was nothing but numbers. If you have one of those saves, replace the second line with the name of the class (redundant, I know), and the final three lines with your weapon, outfit, and ring. Note that the first letter of each word should be capitalized. If you have any problems with this, PM me and I'll get you what you need.

END CHEATING

One more thing is that if you're from a country that uses commas instead of periods for decimal indicators, you should go through your saved files and replace all the commas with periods (including Ultimate.txt, if you have it). This will NOT be a problem with future saves.

Also, I should note that I added the ability to see your stats in dungeons or in town by pressing the Space key. Good suggestion, guys! And for people with multiple keyboards, I added a fourth keyboard option (IJKL), which is hidden but can be accessed by pressing the T key at the controls screen.

Please let me know if you experience any problems, I really want to get this version polished up!


P.S. to Vanguard: Yeah, unfortunately, the sharp version doesn't work for all computers. Oddly enough though, te fuzzy version is sharp on some computers!
