Queen Of Thieves beta 0.6.1

game info and pre-purchase: http://winterwolves.com/queenofthieves.htm
Current beta download: http://www.macgames.biz/games/QoT-0.6.1-all.zip

What's New in 0.6.1
- fixed typos
- now you can proceed after the gem tutorial!
- no more crash when examining thalia's boot (careful, you need to start a new game or it still won't work)
- Joanne and Thalia don't start anymore with bare feet

Missing stuff
- the main menu screen is temporary. I need to get one done!
- The main story CGs are still all missing. You'll see a gray screen with a text. It's normal, the artist is behind with that, but I wanted to get the beta started since they're just missing images
- A few backgrounds during the robbery missions could still be missing. See above, you'll see a gray screen with a text.

Feedback I want
- I'd wait before starting to talk about "this skill is unbalanced" and such. Some of them are uselss early in the game, but later can be very useful So I'd prefer if people played a good amount of time before talking about this.
- Game progression. Unless you play in VN Mode (then you'll skip all battles and earn the money easily!) I wanted also to know if you think the progression towards each goal is too slow or not. I adjust the money you get from robberies, so that later in the game you get more (since you'll also need more money in the final steps)
- Game over: the only case in which you can get a game over is the main plot missions. During robberies & catacombs exploration, you can always escape safely. Because of this, if a house is "too hard" it's not a bug or a problem: you can simply visit another. What instead should be "OK" is the difficulty of each main plot mission. Each has a reccommended level, so if you can't win a story mission where it says "reccommended level 20" and your party is 10, then even in this case you can't complain, you need to level up a bit first

That's it. I hope you'll enjoy it, I know I spent a lot of time working on this game and I believe it was worth it!!

Just mayor instead of mayoress, male or female the mayor is just called a mayor.
Arrianna said she is the Husband of Lysander rather than Wife
Lysander says Pray on an old cripple instead of prey
Joanne and Thalia look barefoot first time it comes to the armor customization
Trying to look at the Lore on Thalia's boots makes the blue screen appear
After adding the gem to the armor, I got no further prompts and when I exited, Lysander appeared cut in half and hovering with no legs. I couldn't go any further.

[jack1974]

Haha damn, the gem tutorial I added as last minute seems to have broken things. Will check it, thanks

Mayoress is perfectly correct. Ahkra isn't as progressive as other places in Aravorn.

[kadakithis]

Mayoress is perfectly correct. Ahkra isn't as progressive as other places in Aravorn.

You are perfectly correct.I had never heard the term used before, my fault for assuming it was wrong instead of looking it up.

Thanks for spotting the other typos, by the way. Since I've been writing on my own it's been hard to catch some of them. I thought I'd caught most of them but I guess not. ^^;

[jack1974]

I've fixed the mistakes but sadly here is still going slow, so doing every new update will take a while. SIGH

First bug squash it! Clicking on the coat of arms in upper right coner gives me this:

Yes in the version 0.6.1 I just uploaded both bugs should be gone thanks
(you need to restart a new game for the Thalia's boot crash though!)
