I wasn't able to get a direct link to the file. All links either lead me to a download manager some bogus site or required some kind of authentication either by email or a social media account.

That's a downer with 4shared: you have to be registered in order to download stuff. 

Try using this website: 4server.info

Just copy the 4shared link there and voilá!

Holy crap, what's wrong you guys?

I haven't been on the site in months im sorry!

Let me see if I can fix the issues were having!1

Okay! All TLOF data was on my old comp, HOWEVER the fish sprites were saved on my imageshack account! All except a catfish which I improvised!

These fish go in you Gfish folder under Graphics!

save as: halibut (you have to)

save as: tuna

save as: flounder

save as: catfish

example: catfish.png should go in you Gfish folder under graphics!

NEW LINK!

You rock man, thanks a lot!

Now that you're around, I'd also like to know how to trigger the events with the bachelorettes. I've already gave to one of them 10 presents but nothing happens.

Once again, thanks for adding the missing graphics.

IIRC it should happen after 10, which girl is it?

I tested it with Joy

Gave her ten sea flower and the scene played perfectly!

Only problem I ran into was a "special gift"

The perfume gift seems to ruin her first scene so don't use it. (Game will crash)

Load a save and only give her sea flower. The DO respawn after a while but I feel I could have made the respawn time a bit sooner..

I'll continue testing the other girls. Edit: So I did, and all you have to do is make sure you have 10 sea flowers, give them all, and, for Snow I pressed enter on her again and the scene triggered.

Where is the City Hall? I need to pay taxes.

 

[Jef299]

It's top floor of the Abbey next to Gate town. Head west from your house, it's the building right before that walled area.

Thanks for the reply dude, but now I have another issue with the wooing thing. I gave 10 sea flowers to Joy, and then she became a ghost! I mean, I could no longer speak to her, and when I approach I simply walk through her, like she was thin air. Odd.

 

[sublaimer]

Sorry, it wasn't Joy the ghost, it was Julie, the ginger one.

Since I'm here, I'd like to share some thoughts about the game. I think it has a lot of potencial, but there are also a few things missing in order to be drawn into the gameplay. Most important, I think it lacks of sense of accomplishment. Other than making money to pay the rent, I find no motivation to go fishing, gather stuff, mining, etc. Adding sidequest such as errands, collect X type of fish, festivals, etc, and goals (catch X quantity of fish, etc.) would break the monotony and motivate the player to actually do these chores.

Other aspect are the NPCs. They seem to be living in complete isolation, no interaction between each other.

Finally, I find the cooking and crafting system rather useless, since there seems to be little to no economic profit in doing it so, and I can't find any other use for the recipes than selling them. And the crafted items is much simpler to buy them directly. 

I've been playing it for about 5 hours, and maybe I'm being hasty with this appreciation, but that's what I think so far.

Sorry if I'm being a bit too rough, I know it's not easy to develop a game, but I guess an honest feedback is what you guys deserve.

Thanks for your feedback. Yeah, the game could use a lot more. The sad thing is I lost the RPGmaker file to this game so I can't go in and edit it. . I lost it when I moved, and I'm pretty sure I had an updated version where you could buy sea flowers and also the time system was a bit different. Maybe if I had the time and effort, (I only spent like two months on this game) I would make a full blown sequel or at least a VERY updated version of the original (if I hadn't lost the file) . A lot of people enjoy this game, as simple as it is. I just wish it didn't glitch out on you like that, I am sorry.

By the way, thanks for playing it for 5 hours! It means a lot to game creators that people play their games. I made this a few years ago, I remember someone even reviewed it and I got a few "Let's Plays." Makes me feel like it was worth the time and effort!
