​

Welcome to "Project Fire" - free adventure\role-playing game! This game is for the people who love good stories, fantasy, sci-fi, steampunk universes, and tactical combat in jrpg style. And yes, it's free for anyone who wants to try!

This is a story of two adventurers - chaos mage Alex and pathfinder Maya. They are chasing dangerous enemy across the whole world, where magic came to replace long-forgotten technologies.
 
​

• This is not a heroic tale. You will not save the world. Sometimes you will have to do bad things to survive and reach your goals. How far would you go?
  

• Once humans came from the stars, and now they sitting in the dust. Discover the history of this world, hear stories and tales... Which of them are the truth? It's for you to decide.
  

• Explore hand drawn locations, that will allow you to dive deeper into the story!
  

• Fight mighty enemies that certainly will stand in your way - this is not a joy trip after all.
  

• Your choices sometimes will affect the story - but it will not be obvious.
  

Game is avalable at steam, free to play for everyone, with updates and achievments: http://store.steampowered.com/app/526430/


Screenshots and gameplay video can be found on Steam page too, but here is a youtube trailer if you need it:

I do not get why this game has no replies on the thread.I haven't done much,due to not having much time,but so far I already love it.The game clearly has a lot of work put into it.

Is it possible to have a stand alone download available? Steam and my computer have nasty nasty fights (by this I mean that for some odd reason my laptop hates steam, don't ask me why but I don't know what the issue is).

If you can or cannot that is okay, either way I wish the best for you

Oh, haven't been here for a while. Probably it's no longer needed, but still, standalone is here: https://elvenneko.itch.io/project-fire

Well than I downloaded this game on steam and played it till I got stuck which I am now. I played for a good 2 and a half hours though grinding and other.... hiccups are included.

So I am going to give you a mini feedback and a cry for help =P

To the good things first:

First of all there is a lot of work in this game. And I mean A LOT. The inn scene (you forgot Albert when he joins you before you leave for the forest.), the cut scene at the beginning, the character animations and so on it is absolutely stunning and made me want to play more if there wouldnt be....
The maps are beautiful
Its not to easy..... which is a good thing but yours is bordeline to hard =P

Now to the bad things:

Alex abilities are hardly usefull at the beginning before you get to buy water and wave they simply deal no damage and dont justify the cost they have. I mean he looked bad ass at the beginning when he broke the guards and obliterated everything with a fire ball but... why is the fireball weaker than Mayas normal attack nvm that all her abilities are far stronger than Alex abilities.... same goes for Albert and Daina!
The guards at the beginning deal a good 150 damage per hit while our damage spikes at at most a 100..... which can easily lead to a death if you fight nevermind that for healing you only have potions that heal for a 100 usefull outside of combat but inside of combat? No thanks.
The first boss fight is though... and not doable if you deny the potions from Maya....
Grinding is something i normally like... but due to Alex weakness grinding was a goddamn chore until i got the idea to get Albert. Than grinding was fun especially after i got the two spells for Alex... the only usefull spell so far he got from leveling up is vampirism.
The game is stingy with tutorials it took me an hour to figure out how to open locks....
Furthermore some quest where you should get documents is not doable because even if you have the pieces of key thing the chest stays locked... maybe i should have gone to the smithy to get that fixed but still.
The sentry in the house is annoying to beat (rng jesus battle... meaning you need to be lucky to not get silenced.) and without doing so you will never know that there is a hidden prison in the house! Though I got the hint that it is somewhere thanks to the key i got but still!

Now onto what I need help with:
The Wind Chart. I cant solve the riddle and i cant see how much boats are in the picture. Can you please tell me the answer for the save so that i can get the wind chart and continue?

And lastly thanks for the game, even with all those... hickups it was rather enjoyable after seeing how much effort you put into everything.

I try to adress the issues you have in order:

1) Alex is not a professional mage, he is learning on the way. And that thing he did on the beginning he can do only in dire situations, and only with limited power, or something can go really wrong. You will learn why just a bit later.
2) Guards on the start are suposed to be op. You have to escape. You can do mine boss without taking extra potions if you didn't explore it, but took supplies on the way. Any story boss can be completed without additional grind (hint on first one - stuns), but if you completed all side quests before going out - game will be much easier for you from now on.
3) But yeah, combat is unabllanced. This was my first attempt to ballance something like that, and also i had to work with not the battle system i wanted originally (had to take best from avalable). Sometimes its too easy, sometimes it's too hard. Hint - in battle with specific artifical boss you don't need to win. Just stay alive.
4) Not the first complaint about loks. Should have put the tutorial, but i assumed that many people played tes and regoknized the thing.
5) Pieces of key is for side-quest. You need to unlock safe that's located in right room. Hints for the code is around the house, 3 digits, 3 hints. Or you can be jailed, then item you need will be moved to the treasury and placed in new chest. Also you can remove guard or even get item your need by picking right dialogue options when you are caught.
6) You can get to the prison by moving statue away.

Well thanks for adressing those points, but you completly missed the one i actually needed help with: The puzzle for the save to get the wind chart (at least i assume the wind chart is in the save) This one: The ships were sailing in the sea (i cant count the number of ships in the picture),The clock was no longer ticking (i found the clock and it shows 1 am),He is still dividing the number in vain (which number? 1 am?), I doubt you will divide by that. (BY WHAT?) .
But if you make further games.... please think about putting in more than less tutorials... i for one didnt play "tes" and it took me an hour to figure it out by accident. This is something that can turn people away from the game.
Yeah I can see how balancing is an issue... the first time I died was against your Werewolf boss.... not hard if you are prepared but i went in with half my HP and payed the price... so far nothing seemed undoable though. The strength of normal mobs though is all over the place. If you get a bad party and fight you might get wiped.
Hm I will rest my points of Alex if he gets usefull spells later on Still he is not very usefull at the beginning... =P

I found the prison beforehand already and got my reward for that....

 

[ElvenNeko]

Like i told you, try other approaches to this quest. For example, try talking guard into giving or selling the map to you. Or go to prison and take map from chest in vault after. There is more than 20 ways to get the wind chart. I can't give you exact numbers for passcode because amount of ships is randomly generated for every new game (and painting changes accordingly), but the last number you are looking for is zero.

 

[Fooljastic]

Yeah the problem with that is i saved after i defeated the guards..... so I am kinda stuck with having to try to get the number....

But thanks for the help guess i have to restart :/ At least i now know what to do.....

Edit(nvm I actually got it by randomly clicking just now thanks to your tipp that the last number is zero. xD)
