a bug and a question about the save file.

[tacticalcraptical]

First off, I would like to say I bought the game and I am loving it. But I have two things I have seen as problems.

First is a bug, if you go to the armory choose to give a piece of equipment to a character and their default weapon or armor slot is open, the game equips it, even if the characters stats do not meet the requirements.

For example, if Phillip has no weapon equipped and I give him say The punisher Sniper Rifle (Which requires 55 Sniper Skill) it will equip it even though his sniper skill is 8. But if you give it to him in a spare inventory slot then go into his personal inventory and try to equip it, it works correctly and says he doesn't have the skill.

If patches are still being made, this should be fixed.

Second, where is the save game file located? I cannot find it and I want to be able to transfer my progress back and forth between my desktop and laptop computers.

Thanks for the bug report Yes I'm going to check this and update the game (is a minor fix but still a bug).
The save game files are located:
Windows: Users\username\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\Planet_Stronghold
Mac: Username\Library\Preferences\Renpy\Planet_Stronghold
there are numbered files corresponding to each save game slot.

p.s. I deleted your other post since was identical to this one

Yeah, sorry about the double post, wasn't paying attention.

And thank you for the help, I really dig the game alot.

Two more thing I noticed you may want to look into with an update.

First, at the beginning of the game, in the training facility when Rebecca makes Lisa and Michelle fight Antbot 06, Tom comes in and says you are exceeding his expectations and asks who the other recruit is. Michelle tells him his name and acts nervous as if they have never meet, then in almost the very next scene Tom knows Michelle favorite hang out is Black Hole Sun and advises her not to over due it with drinking, as if he already knows her quite well despite having no contact in between these two scenes.

Second, if you press the tab key to toggle skip in the middle of a multi-hit attack, the attack starts over. So if you just keep hitting tab, the character will continue to attack over and over again until the target is dead.

Ah! that's true, going to rewrite that part.

LOL that's a good cheat! Will remove this too

I had made an update alraedy, but was broken, if you pressed TAB the enemy would hit your unlimited time until your current hero was dead! (revenge lol). I'm going to check better before posting new download links.

OK I believe this should work:
http://www.bestanimegames.com/games/PSDemo.exe (Windows)
http://www.bestanimegames.com/games/PSDemo.zip (Mac)
http://www.bestanimegames.com/games/PSDemo.tar.bz2 (Linux)

version 1.2c changes:
- you cannot autoequip weapons/armor that don't meet the requirements if you go in the barracks with unequipped weapon/armor and move them to your character
- now if you hit TAB while shooting doesn't allow you to cheat and shoot enemy unlimited time
- Tom Shatz knows either Michelle or Philipp already because they're in the colony since a few months (small dialog change)

Cool, nice work, this won't mess with a saved game file after updating, will it?

[jack1974]

Well you can do a quick test: it depends where you saved your game, if was in one of those screen (battle, armory) it COULD have problems, but if something breaks, will break immediately (I mean not after playing for hours, you should notice / get an error message as soon as you load it). In no case will corrupt existing savegames though, just will crash on loading so you can revert to previous version in that case.

Cool, thank you good sir. I am really digging this game, it is one of the best Indie RPGs I have played, thanks for creating it.
Now my question is: Any plans for a sequel or another game from you?

[jack1974]

Thanks a lot
Well for Planet Stronghold an add-on with more story and new gameplay elements (sort of strategic map) is planned but unfortunately I have to deal with the biggest enemy of all indies: artists! Jokes apart, Planet Stronghold artist was busy until recently with conventions and other stuff but now she should be able to resume working on the art needed (I'd like to have some new CGs and new character outfits).
Once I have all the art needed I think could do the add-on in 2-3 months max.
As for RPG in general you might want to check the Loren Amazon Princess RPG section in the forums, it's a fantasy RPG but should be even more detailed than Planet Stronghold. Though this one is still far from being finished. I said September previously but I realize that was an overly optimistic release date!
