Legend of Queen Opala: Origin - Week 47 / 2023

Pretty much back in business!

Since there isn't a coding MacGuffin that magically correct everything for you with the press of a button, I've painstakingly and manually gone over every single Ruby Chest, Dream Chest, Master Hen'Tai location, shop purchase marker, locked spot, weak wall, poster and etc. to have them all be updated with how the menus are meant to look now.

It might seem like a minor detail, but consistancy is an important way to correctly convey information to the player of what an action does from the visuals alone.
Such as whenever the protagonist is given a choice, words you speak are written like normal, text within (these) indicate a thought while [this] points to an action/command being taken.
It's probably common sense for most people, but you never know when it might end up useful!
I also clarified a bit more on what posters do in-game and allows you to revert them back to their original state if you wish to do so, along with highlighting the required item you're about to use when interracting with locked stuff or about to blow something up.

That'll be the wrap-up for today, so onward to next Tuesday!

    1. That's probably your antivirus software removing the exe file.

    2. It could be a false positive, so first check you virus protection first. They (especially windows defender) frequently delete/quarantine files without notifying you, but aren't able to access compressed files.

  4. Hello Swegabe, firstly I would like to say that I am a fan of your game and I love your work, but there is a bug that I found and that I cannot continue in the first mission in Kahr. After I manage to recover my material and meet Mercenary, when I enter the room to rescue Farah, after the dialogue the screen becomes off-center, and I can't see my character and the game simply becomes impossible to play.

    1. That was unfortunately a bug with v3.21.
      But it was fixed the following day as a version 3.21b release.
