Not saying we need to buff those bracers though, I just didn't find 10 speed that remarkable, but Mr. Weaver has explained it now. Although... they could have slow resistance

Re: SOTW 0.8.15 - Second Act Beta!
You need to gamble more Jack, my druid has 9 speed bracers. Oh and Riley has them too. Level 9 masterwork. If not for the resistances, the BoB would be a downgrade for them to wear if they could lol.

If at first try it doesn't explode, it ain't Jack who wrote the code.

Just to take a break from all the hardcore stuff I want to say that I absolutely adore the soundtrack. I'm addicted to it.
This. Is. Gorgeous.

re shop lottery
coudn't you use the rare item shop (forgot the name) for something different? Instead of a normal store screen there's a decision tree for feeding the item generator, usable only once or twice per day.
say the player is looking for a SP regen necklace to complete one char, the selection screens would be something like Jewellery -> Ring -> SP Regeneration - the item generator creates one item with the requested properties and the player can buy it.
other decision tree examples:
Weapon -> Long Range -> Short Bow -> Elemental Damage -> Fire
Armour -> Trousers -> Resistance -> Burning
Weapon -> Melee -> Dagger -> Bonus -> Speed
Armour -> Footware -> Heavy -> Bonus -> Attack
unfortunately most likely impossible to code :)

Um, these are shops we're talking about here. Not "magical item manufacturers".
You COULD ask the Galanna to make you a custom item, but you couldn't afford their rates ^_^

Armor -> Cloth -> Resistance -> Not Weakened

you're touching a sensitive area, we are in the middle of a conflict of objective: on the one hand a consistent story, on the other hand a satisfying RPG system ^^Taleweaver wrote:Um, these are shops we're talking about here. Not "magical item manufacturers".

(And now in the Steam version I'm going to add the achievement: Master Gambler if people rollback 100 times during the shops!!)
Thanks, will let the musician know. He's the same that did Bionic Heart 2 soundtrack, so funnily there's same writer, same musician, same coder, same character artist (but a much better colorist!). Luckily SOTW reception so far has been MUCH betterfabulaparva wrote:Just to take a break from all the hardcore stuff I want to say that I absolutely adore the soundtrack. I'm addicted to it.

Speaking of unique item... anyone visited the various families palace after you did their quest?? they have super uber unique items (albeit all consumables) for sale! don't tell me that nobody visited them after becoming their best (slave) friends!

I did. But I was all out of cash and I couldn't buy it. 
And, oh, there was a graphical bug in there, but darn me I don't have a suitable savefile... The graphical bug was that the servant stepped towards the gamer, so that in the end you'd see him really large, but only from neck down. The head was out of frame. And then he stood there for a while while the discussion went on. Made me feel uncomfortable, that guy. 
(For the record, I happen to like BH2. I thought I recognized Krimm's surprised -expression similar to Tanya's but I never knew the composer was the same, too.

Re: SOTW 0.8.15 - Second Act Beta!
Thanks, I rechecked the scene and found the wrong sprite 
And about BH2... well you know what I think. Problems apart, everyone of my friend who played it (showed to several other gamedevs too) said that was one of the best VN they played. Not sure why did so bad sales-wise 
/bastard jack mode ON
Probably the mistake was to try making an actual story instead of just showing boobs! (looks at a recently released furry VN on Steam that was top12... ROFL).

yes, and you did see my addendum?
