RMMZ End of Winter

[Beregon]

Action RPG made in RPG Maker MZ for the Great Winter Game Jam 2020.

Playable in browser and also available for download!

Synopsis: Winter has lasted too long already and there's not an end in sight. Armed with your trusty bow, you must defeat Morana, the goddess of winter, to ensure that spring will come! Gain gold and experience by sniping monsters with arrows that are not bound to tiles and adhere to a proper hitbox (sorta). Monsters have their own individual stats and hitpoints. This is basically an experimental project, so any feedback is more than welcome!

Controls:

Move with arrow keys.

Esc to access the menu.

Enter or space to interact with NPCs and objects.

Hold E to run (limited by Stamina Points)

Hold Q to draw the bow and fire arrows.

Hold W to lock your direction.

Hold Shift to turn without moving.

I didn't see it either so I clicked the game jam link and went to submissions at the top.

@Beregon So I noticed that if you are charging a shot and you enter an area, the charging SE plays continuously. I was also strafing and got stuck strafing which messes up the transfer animations and causes other event activation issues.

I am having fun learning this system though and I definitely plan to play this more after work!

Hmm, I linked straight to the game page at the end of my post, there should be a giant button labeled Run Game at the very top there. Does it not show up in the browser?

And yeah, I'm aware of that, thought I fixed that transfer problem, but guess not. Where did it happen btw, the forest -> village transfer or some other place? If it's the village one, simply go back to the forest and press Q to get rid of the bug. If it happens anywhere else, pressing Q/W again should fix that, though I don't remember if you need to switch maps too.

Thanks for playing the game!

Yes, it was forest to village, wasn't game breaking, just went back to the forest and it fixed itself. The link at the bottom works, took me to the dl page and RUN GAME is there at the too so I think you're good!

Ahh, sorry, the way it was worded, I thought clicking was for download only, so I didn't click.

Maybe something like "Click here to play in browser or download" would be more clear?

Alright, thanks! Reworded the link at the bottom and also added an additional one at the start of the post.

Glad to hear it!

I'll see if I can fix this, though as you said, it's not gamebreaking.

Released a new version a while ago, the browser version is updated to the newest one:


Version 1.1 changes:

-Player is now able to move diagonally while holding the R key.

-Adjusted the hitboxes of certain walls so that arrows are no longer sometimes blocked by a seemingly empty space.

- KO'd enemies no longer block the movement of other enemies.

-Fixed a bug that prevented certain enemies in the western part of the Icy Cavern from chasing the player if they were near.

-Black Knights no longer chase the player from across the whole map.

-Fixed a bug that appeared if you travelled from the Cursed Forest to the village map while drawing the bow or holding W.

Version 1.2 released!

I'm proud to announce the biggest update to the game yet!

The biggest change is that the game now has a HUD. No longer will you need to pause the game and look in the menu to find out what your current HP, SP or Level is. This is courtesy of the HUD Maker Ultra plugin by SRDude, check out his website - http://sumrndm.site/

The second major change is that leveling up now fully restores HP and SP, complete with a sound effect and a level up animation in place of the old text-box, which has since been removed.

Hope you enjoy this update!
