Where in the western plains is the broken key part? I'm also having some trouble with the other quests on my list.
The western key part is in the beach area, near one of the fields. The is a small easy to miss path.
Both tf episodes are tied to the broken key quest.
Was researching part two the search for ancient stone tablets? If so you know which ancient stone tablets did you find?
Was the mermaid quest to find the rare sea shell? If so it is underwater. If i remember correctly the south-western plains.
I dont know from the name allone what quest of collection and demon hunt were. Would need to see the quest description to tell.
Also hope this is at least some good starting help with the quest. Feel free to ask more!
in don't quit remember which stone tablets I've found I just know that I'm missing one. Also, this is where I'm at with the world fragments.
I'm also looking for the other transformations for the other party members. I've only found the bunny so far. Also, what are hints 18 and 21 for? And how do you open this?
Fot the hints:
Sorry i do not know them just based on the hint numbers, would need the hint text as well to know.
One is most likley for the one episode you have still open i assume?
Rabbit currently is the only party member with a transformation. So you not missing them.
That are is a secret area and 100% completely optional to the game so i wont spoil the answer. But for a hint: With a bit of "luck" a npc in the snow town might give you a nudge towords the solution
It could be also in the underwater area accessible by the farm in the south-west area, can't check my notes right now.
I'm stuck with the public version for now because I currently have no bank account and can't donate.
First of all, thanks, glad to hear you enjoying the game so far^^
As for your question: I would say the recommend level is around 30 to 35. Most of the dungeons can be done in any order but that one is considered one of the later/ harder ones. So good job on beating her with only level 25!
She definitely has some hard hitting attacks. The first insta kill attack she uses in the first turn is more like a puzzle or gimmick. The intended solution is to use a skill that gives "Withstand Lethal Dmg" while having a high hostility on the character who uses it. Some skills that can lower her accuracy also can help a lot.
Oh, i cheesed by luck and bunny's support ability that gives dodge all (Luck to make her target Nana), thank you for the reply! I would also like to know if She (The Boss) suppose to spam ultimates at low hp or was it a bug?
Interesting I have all of the forms and the guard is gone and it still says that it is too hot (I have 1.0.6)
I'm very sorry to hear that-_-
From googling this error I learned, it seems system related and not the game itself. This crash also could happen when your pc can't get a certain piece of information.
There are various possibilities which could have caused it so I unfortunately can't help you at the moment. The only thing I am pretty certain of is that it is not a "normal" crash due to a game bug which is why I having a hard time understanding the cause for it.
If you have any other computer you can use, try playing the game on there and see if it works and not crashes. That would help me a lot to figure out the problem and give you a solution to fix it for you.
I also will look into it and see if that crash happens to someone else as well!
Which operating system do you use?
How long until it usually crashes?
Did you played some of the earlier version? If so do they also crash?
Did you import a save or started up fresh?
So, my computer is haunted. Will experiment and document things and try to figure out if it is just my computer.
Will note that the crashes i remember was 1: just entering a battle, and 2: Exiting a battle that didn't have music for some reason.
Luckly not!
You're pc might be just too new or good, I heard windows 10 and 11 in combination with some graphic cards can cause problems in rpg maker mv games.
But in this case, it might be a folder that was created then starting the game. This folder can corrupt in very special circumstances causing the game to crash. If this would be the problem it should not happen when trying to play it on a different computer. This folder also can be manually delete which would solve it but that folder is pretty complicated to find. And I also can't say to 100% that this is the bug, it's just the best guess that I currently have.
No one else so far has reported this bug which would could point towards either no one else encountered it, or whoever may encountered it never reported it. So i unfortunately also have no other leads to look into it. I also ask a friend if they could play the version 1.1.0 for a few hours to see if their game also crashes after some time.
Every battle also should have music I think. If a music file would be missing you would get a differnt error that said something like: "Can't find (Music Name) file. Click restart to try again."
If you remember which battle it was I certainly can look and double check of course!
On a small side note, if you should have transferd your save date from a earlier verion did you interact witha safe flame at least once, it sets some triggers right but I doubt that would be the cause of this bug but I thought I might throw that in.
Also save date from the Demo Version also isn't compatible, just to root out some possible other causes I can think about.
I'm very sorry that your experience ended like this-_-
The reason i am leaning towards my computer being haunted is that after the crash, I could do the exact same actions and not result in a crash. I was able to beat the game fully with only about 3-4 crashes, resulting in 1 crash per 10 hours. So no clue why the game would crash.
I see, might be true then. Test playing on my end also did not showed up any crashes yesterday.
You mean one crash afterplaying for 10 hours straight without break? If so that is a memory leak and can happen sometimes in games if they run for a very long time without turning the game off.
But on a brighter note, congrats on beating the game! I hope you had a enjoyable time with it^^
I also got the game crashing if i was playing for to much hour but i know it was a because of the memory because i was doing many side quest and main story while i was playing for the 3 hours i was playing every session i was doing and i was only when i was loading a new zone
First of all, thanks a lot, glad to hear you enjoyed your time with the game^^
As for your questions: For now I'm done with the game but I would like to return to the game in the distant future to add and adjust more things. There is a new project I am wanting to work on so that will have priority, which will be shared soon. I am currently in the process to setting the itch page for the game up. It will be a roguelite tf game. Whenever that new project is done I definitely would like to return to this game and add more stuff. There are serveral idea I had to cut, of which I would like to bring good ones back.
As for the bad endings, The reason they are so different are is mainly that I was experimenting with various styles on how to make them. The golden retriever ending was by far the longest one to make because of the extra art. I definitely would like to add more bad endings but they all would be most likley much shorter and simpler than the GR one. Or maybe their will be longer ones, hard to say currently.
As for remastering tf's, if a form feels to weak i definitely would adjust it, did that serveral times in the past. So if you have one form in mind that could need rebalance feel free to mention it.
In the beginning forest is a secret shop that gives hints on all the tf location, just bad ends have no hints.
ah ok that's good to hear that you might come back to to this game it's good to know you're working on other stuff, I'm looking forward to it!
Thanks that is good to know, will look into it.
It sounds like the mermaid tf story is uncompleted for some reason.
Which should not be possible since mermaid needs to be done first.
You did complete the mermaid tf before I assume?
Yeah that text comes from Melia if you enter the mermaid town area for the first time.
The text is a left over from the first demo, in the full game you never could meet Melia up there in the Sea Monster Form so there was no reason to cut the text.
This is normal but only should happen in the northern plains. Ther you always fight two waves of enemies. If it happens in any otehr area that would be not intended. Where did it happened to you?
Thank you so much for this update I was able to continue and keep playing. I am still a little confused on how to do the mermaid quest regularly because the only way I can get to the mermaid city is by the mermaid tower and whenever I talk to Melia it only restores TP. I am not sure if this is due to the fact that I found Melia after unlocking the mermaid form.
Also, did some testing and I get the two encounters everywhere after teleporting out of the northern plains. But after leaving through the city and teleporting into the northern plains I would only get one encounter.
Glad to hear it worked and I could help^^
Normally you need to be in mermaid form and then speak to her, this will trigger the quest. It isn't enought just to have unlocked it you also need to be in that form. I think you till should be able to trigger it if you want to see the dialogue, it should not softlock your game but will remove your exp shards and teammates, so better spend them before trying it since you already completed the quest.
It also should now be impossible to get into the same softlock as you did as well.
I see, then I probaly only forgot to disable it when leaving the area through teleportation, will fix that as well, thanks for noticing!
On an unrelated not I am trying to get the butterfly TF and can't figure it out I am pretty sure it is related to the purple flower in the fairy forest but can't find anything else.
Glad to hear you had fun with the game : )
And to answer your question:
1 & 2. You're right on that assumption, it only can be gotten after finsihing that quest. There are actually two coins in the mermaid city. There is a hole you can enter with mouse form. You probably missing that I assume.
3. I assume you accepted the request at the guild but she isn't there, that would be quite odd. I think I did found the problem, will fix that in the next patch, thanks!
4. Yes but it is pretty much impossible to find. It is in the volcano behind one of the stone pillars^^"
5. After you have unlocked a certain transformation you can go back into that high tech place, in there you can find a sparkling spot on one of the machines.
6. Yes but only in ng+, there you can get both. In the first playthorugh you only can get one.
7. Yes, there is a card collection app, you get it in the casino.
As for bugs:
1 & 2 & 3. Thanks will fix that! And good to know, will also fix that. And also will take care of them!
Feel free to me if you should encounter more bugs or have feedback!
Was on my second play through and in the dragon TF quest after freeing Xia you have the 6 fights then go through the lab, in those six fights the game crashed. This happened three different times so I thought I would share. 
I made it through but it was weird my game crashed twice on the third battle and once on the 5th battle. I would have liked to see if it happened again but I wasn't thinking and overwrote the save file that was right before
First of all thanks a lot for the game till the end, glad to hear you enjoyed your time!
That actually is a good point, that I really like. I will add that it is possible to enter the west part of the endless desert with dragon as well. Thanks for the idea and feedback!
And that is also understandable. Since version 1.1.2, the fog is gone so it should be easier to spot. But I also will add a hint for all key parts as well, there is no harm in adding such a hint after all.
Yes that was a bug for the two forms you guessed, it already got fixed in version 1.1.2. Sorry about that.
And that also is a very good point as well. I will add a place to heal in the southern plains, making it a smoother experince.
No worries, it did not sounded negative to me, I think all those points were solid points and your feedback helps me to make the game even more enjoyable! Thanks a lot for the feedback^^
If you you may have any more feedback in the future feel free to share it!
Also I have a few question as well if you don't mind.
Did you encounter any bugs? (game crashed, etc)
Did you do the "Impossible Request" Quest? And if yes, did you managed to finish it?
Did you do the quest in the Mine Caverns that unlocks a certain tf?
How long was your play time?
Did you encounter any bugs? (game crashed, etc)
Only crashed a few times but I was playing on 1.0 and your updates hinted it was linked to a memory issue and so I saved very often and only had to deal with the crash a few times and didn't lose much.
Did you do the "Impossible Request" Quest? And if yes, did you managed to finish it?
I don't think I did that quest. I remember going into the girls house and not seeing her, but I wasn't sure if it was a time of day issue or not. and I was already at the end of the game so I decided to just clear out the game.
Did you do the quest in the Mine Caverns that unlocks a certain tf?
That's one of the guild mission ones right? The map has it listed as Eerie mine. The one of the poisoning and the crystal? If so I did it, and I thought it was fine. Overall it was late enough into the game that I'd made notes of all the caverns that needed an upgrade to see in, and was starting to wonder how to do it, and I had more than enough food to push against the poison. Actually found the segment to be panic inducing and chaotic as I rushed blindly in the near dark looking for salvation. Which I'm sure was the point. Overall I thought it was a great experience. If that isn't the mine then I didn't find it.
How long was your play time?
Looking at the in game clock, 33 hours and 45 minutes. I included a screenshot of my file stats if you're interested.
Yes those crashes should have been fixed in the newest version, just was curious if you played on the newest version and maybe could give some confirmation.
There was a bug that she did not appear in the house, wanted to know if that was the case for you as well, the next update 1.1.3 will try to fix that. I also included all the changes that you suggested.
Yes, that's the one I meant. I had one report that the quest just had a black screen and was unplayable but I found no bug. If you manage to do it as well, it seeems to work like intended. Just wanted to get some insight on that. And yes that was the intention.
And that is interessting, thanks. Mainly I just try to see what the average time is to beat the game, so that information is pretty helpful. But the other stats are also very interessting. That is a lot of money! Also seems like you did do most of the quest as well.
Thanks a lot for the information and feedback^^
For those switches you need to have a certain tf form. One of the harder ones to find. For it you need to have completed the desert and unlocked the ability to interact with the stone monuments. There is one special stone monument in the desert that needs to be repaired by collecting all broken key parts. Hints for them can be found in the forest of beginning in the hint shop.
If you have explored the snow region you may have unlocked the owl form already. It has a bonus ability that can be learned in the dojo which allows to see hidden gliding spots.
Hope this helps and thanks for playing!
Yes, you helped me a lot, thank you. I found it.I was thinking maybe I should go to the farm for weight =)
Yes, there are a few ways to increases sight radius in caves. Minor spoilers ahead:
Just having the wolf and owl form passively increases the sight radius in caves a little. And in town you can buy glowstones, who also passivley increase sight radius. The higher your reputation the more of them will be aviable in the shop.
And finishing that quest also unlocks the form that lets you see perfectly in caves.
Hope this helps, feel free to ask more if something is unclear!
You could use a site like this one: https://ufile.io/
I only need your save file. And thanks!
Alright, here you go.
Oh wait, I should mention that the save is in the quest area, so if you need an earlier save I can grab one, though the closest one I would have to bring it up to speed a bit to have the quest.
I did try it with that form as well but I didn't get the crash and couldn't replicate it so far. So I assume whatt triggered it might have been a more complicted order of stuff you did randomly.
Do you by any chance have a save file before it happened? Also did it happen before or after finishing the story in the mines?
Also are you playing on a windows computer? Emulating the game on mobile often leads to unexpected bugs too.
Did you have by any chance had the game running for a very long time when it happened? If so this could been a memory crash.
I am playing on a Windows computer and story in the mines was already completed, so the last one seems most likely. I do not have a save from before the crash anymore - didn't think about it at the time - but I had spent around four hours exploring before the crash happened, including several floors of the endless dungeon and brute-forcing the second round of the quiz. So it was probably RPGMaker having memory problems.
I see, that is good to know, thanks^^
I can't say for certain but a memory bug seems the most likely. But I will continue to look into it. Just to make sure I will also look into the endless dungeon. Thanks a lot for the report^^
Thanks a lot the the detailed feedback and glad to hear you enjoyed your time with the game^^
And that is quite a lot of time! Defnitely sounds like you seen most of what the game has to offer. The broken phone could have been repaired in the abandoned Laboratory. And the Stone Building in the Tundra is a hidden secret area, it is very hard to reach on purpose, Getting a certain upgrade for the Owl from the Dojo makes it much easier to find and reach.
English unfortunately isn't my main language so I often only used google translate for spellchecking. If someone in the future should offer to help with the grammar I definitely would return and fix them. But good to hear it wasn't too bad.
Balancing definitely always was a difficult thing. I wanted exploring to feel rewarding so most of the more powerful skills like the Beehive Skill come from optional stuff. So people who get through the trouble to collect a lot of bees will get a powerful skill. But people who choose to ignore some side stuff and mainly follow the story would have a lot less powerful options. I would say the Hard and Lunatic are a lot more difficult, the enemies not only have higher stats but actually get brand new skills and on Lunatic every single enemy can use Ultimates against you. I think some strategies to cheese them would still possible but at it should be somewhat harder.
I absolutely agree. I actually was working on porting a few of the quality of life features from Journey of Transformation back to Adventure of Changes like the setting for Battle Animation Speed. Along with some bug fixes. This version will be up soon and should make fights a lot faster.
And I am happy to hear it you had fun with it. And yes this game actually is a sequel from the first game I made Orbs of Phantasm. Luca, Fii and Thiandra were some of the playable characters in that game and it played on the other continents. I just never publicly uploaded this game. It was a lot more simple and I mainly used it to learn how to use the rpg maker engine.
It also features a real time battle system and played similar to the tales of series with equipping skills to use in battle.
But nothing of lore is required to understand the plot of Adventure of Changes, I made sure it does not rely too much of that games story. It mainly just plays in the same world.
And thanks a lot for playing. Looking forward to hearing your feedback on that game as well if you decide to play it^^
Glad to hear you had a good time with it, your words honor me^^
That actually is a pretty nice idea. Shouldn't be that hard to add and could also gives hints to find them. Will add that to my to do list and add it with the next patch.
Also the hardest ones to find are properly: Fox (Related to red gates in the forest), Chicken (Related to a Chicken Guild Quest after finishing Sheep Story) and Satyr (Related to Broken Coin Quest). Also no bad end is missable, so no worries about that!
Thanks : 3
Wait what? I'm sorry, I had thought I had made that comment on the adventure of change thread. this sounds like it's for a different game. Loos like I need to get going on another one if it was made by you.
wait, I realized where I got thrown off. I thought you were implying there were talking about a fox, chicken, and satyr form unlockable in a different game. (The pictures from the post above also threw me off.) I'm going to have to go back and find that chicken one.
I dont think I understand the first one. You mean the form isnt avialble to be select after you unlocked it?
Sorry to hear. That certainly sounds odd. All weapons skills are tied to the class level so it should be nearly impossible to lose them if i remember correctly. Could it be that the game changed your class. Also did they maybe come back after gaining one class level?
I havent heard about this bug before. If you like to share it, I could take a look at your save file and see what the problem may be. You save is found under www/ saves. Any file sharing site would work. Here is one possible one https://www.file.io/
Lovely to hear^^ Most bad ends are pretty hidden but there are also just 9. But none is missable. A decent amount of usuful combat abilities comes from side quest and exploration. But some are also gotten through playing the main story.
oh no it’s not that I can’t use the Arachne, but the avatar doesn’t show up after selecting it, it just shows human. And I’ll try to go to the class selector again and see if I can get them back, otherwise I’ll share the save file
ok i found the problem. after i got the arachnid form, my class was changed to traveler, instead of adventurer that ive been using since the start. now it makes sense why every single enemy seemed to have been turned to hard difficulty. its a bit hard to see which class youre using if you dont know the names, but at least now ive found the problem
oh btw. i hadnt done it before, but the wool quest still says "not implemented yet" in the guild menu
im the type of player that hates losing any stats so i never change equipment. so im using the ceremonial blade, the same as ive used since i got it. and just to confirm it. youre not supposed to change classes after equiping a new weapon, right? since in the cave i think i tested a few weapons but changed back after, which is when i noticed that my skills were gone
I just finishes looking through the quest and could not find anything that would forcible changed the class in the Arachne Story. The ceremonial blade also has a listing id. So I am not quite sure what caused this.
Yes, the weapon class needs to be changed at the shop in town. Equipping any weapon not matching in the right class will result in no usable skills. That's how it should work.
The game saves your equipped weapon before any transformation happens. And returns it to you after changing back into human form. But it does not change the class you are having selected.
So maybe your saved weapon id was outdated and at the end of the quest the game gave you the previously saved weapon? That's the best I could come up with.
probably. Though I’m not a coder so I’ll just believe your theory. At least it’s fixed now
First of all: Thanks a lot for palying and leaving such detailed feedback back here^^
I do find all your points very reasonable and solid. Balancing difficulty is always a very thin line to get it right, even more so with multiple difficulties are various possible other factors. So thanks a lot for pointing out the thigs you noticed. I read through all of it. One thing which wasn't intentional were no unique skills for the final bosses. I must have forgotten to add them.
Based on what I gathered from your feedback I came up with the following adjustment that I could implement with the next update.
Enemies for the beginning of the game have been nerfed if playing on normal or any higher difficulty.
Until the Tutorial Story in the Rabbit Burrow is completed, enemies have reduced stats.
Enem HP, Atk and Def are reduced by 10%
Enemy Agility and Luck are reduced by 50%.
Ensuring the player is less likely to get hit by critical attacks and has a higher chance to attack first in battle.
Final Boss and True Final Boss HP got their Max HP reduced by around ~20% to make them less tanky.
To make up for that they instead got some new powerful unique skills if you playing on Normal Difficulty or higher.
The Skill "Punishment" from the fairy boss got slightly nerfed in power.
It now also has a slightly lower probability to get cast as well.
Removed the dev sign before the laboratory.
Added a visual sign to make progression in the squirrel story more clear.
Feel free to give your thoughts about these changes I came up with to tackle the problems you mentioned.
basically all my major complaints from anything dissapeared (the same could theoretically be done with the dog tf but beyond that just perfect)
Not sure if this is unique to me since I'm using Joiplay, but the game crashes as soon as I encounter an enemy. Can't even get past what I assume was the tutorial.
You're not the first, I heard reports from several players that the game has problems running on smartphones and tablets that try to play the game with engines like Joiplay.
I unfortunately have no knowledge in regards of joiplay or any other engines that run rpg games on mobile devices. Maybe it can be done with the right settings? I sadly don't know. If I had to guess from looking at the crash text, Joiplay seem to has trouble handling some of the external plugins which the games uses.
I sadly can only guarantee that the games runs on Windows and Linux, those are the systems that I tested it with myself. Sorry, unfortunately there is nothing I can do about that-_-
Eh, no worries. Just thought I'd mention it since it occurred after testing the two most recent versions (publicly available). Just means I'll put it on the back burner until I get the laptop straightened out.
