The Clans - Cursed Souls

[Clord]

New version is up, you guys should really check it out.

 

[PheonixDeath1]

how about telling people how to get the download working.

 

[Clord]

Alternative download methods will be up soon so that you don't need a steam version of the maker.

I like your illustration. My team has no illustrator yet, sadly.

 

[Clord]

Thanks.


Here is the alternative download link.

The Clans Codex has been added to the main post.


It explains various concepts of the world.

 

[Clord]

The game is doing quite well so that means it will be continued.


We have been polishing the game and a major update will come out soon.

The Clans - Cursed Souls - Chapter 1 has been released.

How do you save? I get an error sound every time I try to.

Edit: I give up, this game is too difficult for me even on normal ^^; Anyway, here are some notes:

• Battle selection doesn't work with keys. You can choose Attack and all, but you can't select the enemy with the keys.
• The walking speed is incredible slow after Catz first joins.
• Typos:
  Time to start digging i guess => I
  You never find a way out of here => You'll
  Believe or not, ... => Believe it or not (This is said by Catz)

Thanks for the feedback.


Though, battle being mouse only is intended by design. I know it removes controller support by doing that but still, overall consistency is important.


I'm trying to figure out why walking speed still bugs out like that.

 

[Clord]

As game is currently in its "judge" version, it would be nice to see some let's plays made out of it.


Reason is that we plan to continue to do this project even after the contest and it would be useful feedback to see and/or hear your reactions while playing.

I got some bug but I'm not sure it's intended or not.

After the character is switched to Lillth from a stranger, if I tried to turn back to initial start point, I know dear Lillth refused player's control but her speed got decreased as 3. Her default speed seems 4 but I'm still unsure it is intended or not. 

Anyway the mansion's front is obviously Japanese one. I expected it would be a Gothic old castle thing as the main characters are vampire but it's... weird but not bothering too much. 

And to the point of the difficulty, I chose the lowest difficulty (It would be normal one) but the black creature things appeared way too many times. The only weak one is the flame to skeleton in one room and it's acceptable.

The character who has a power and strength enough to delete a witch without fight but beaten by spamming creatures. It needs consideration.

Except all of those, I really like the illustration you put into the game and I can see the hard work you did on a game.   

 

[Clord]

Since we didn't have proper testing team outside of a few people, it is good to have bug reports like these.

 

[Clord]

Some might like to know that this game is far from over.


- More chapters (dungeon area etc.)


- New sprites for monsters instead of using High Fantasy I Pack ones.


- More ghosts to battle (Instead of just that one in the same room as Butsu.)


- Battles with actual enemy groups (weaker enemies but more plentiful.)


- More collar tags and stuff like that.


- More than two different "unique" items.


Those who don't know, collar tags allow you to customize your party and unlock various skills. While those were already in-game, they will become more relevant later on.


Now if someone wonders, why I call them "collar tags," then try to use Google or something.

Clord, I was enjoying your game; you have created a great original world...but I could not figure out how to save my game progress, and once I tried to play again, Continue didn't work (I had gotten up to Catz). As to other posts with the mouse/keyboard interface, yes, I found that you had to click using the mouse to get certain things to work like finding items, getting souls (stepped on the spikes like 5 times before I tried to mouse to get my soul back), but I did not find that a problem. You successfully blend humor with horror: that is difficult to do. I look forward to playing this game when it is complete....or you let me know how I can save my game!

 

[Clord]

Thanks, much appreciated as a writer.


I wonder what causes save files to corrupt like that, as long the save file is for the same version of the game.


You can save your game by clicking the pentagram like circle.

 

[saintivan]

Heh, click on the pentagram....definitely need the mouse for that one...a save file menu comes up, but even the mouse doesn't work to get an actual save file going. 

 

[Clord]

Yeah mouse is a bit sensitive in the save and the load menus.


I did recently upload v1.05 that makes it possible to just use keyboard to activate save points and retrieve the souls.


I start to list complete "chapter 1" playthroughs.
