For version 1.0.3, about the Goat Herders quest:
> If you haven’t defeated the goat boss yet or you did and the mayor already acknowledged that and rewarded you, then just update and continue normally! The bugfix does not affect your current playthrough.
> If you have already defeated the goat boss and the mayor doesn’t acknowledge anything and then, you saved your progress. You will need to update the game and then enter Ammolite Cavern. Go to the top left room called Ammolite Monster Lair, where you defeated the goat. Go straight ahead and interact with the big green crystal – the crystal the goat was standing in front of. There is an invisible switch checker (piece of code) saved in that spot so that the game understands that the goat is defeated for this questline. After that, return to the mayor and you should be good to go!Thank you very much, @tsopo gioto ! I am very glad you enjoyed the remake! What was your favorite quest by the way? I tried my best for all of them to be memorable and worth completing. That’s the main reason why they are less than Shattered Worlds.
Did you also like the guide that I made? It’s my very first guide, so I was unsure if it would be good enough.
If you have some spare time, could you please leave a star-review on Aplestia:Retold’s store page? Just click on “Reviews” to the left! This helps a lot with the Google algorithm, so that my site and products become “searchable” and “recommendable” by their search engine.Hello mamachi! I added a Keyboard Configuration option! Unfortunately, the Esc and F1-12 buttons cannot be changed as far as I can tell. However, if you’re playing like me (left thumb on space and ring finger on esc), then you can change the key below Esc to “cancel” so that the controls feel familiar. Tell me how it goes if you actually try that out.
Thank you very much mamachi! I was really unsecure about the guide since it was my first try creating one! Now, imagine me -as a keyboard gamer- alpha/beta testing the game. My urge to hit the Esc for “cancel”… ugh! Let’s say I didn’t have a great time! In the next games, I will be definitely implementing a Key Mapping feature, at least for the two of us!
PS: If you play the old Aplestia… I would really want to to hear your thoughts about the remake!
Aplestia:Retold runs in a new, upgraded javascript runtime enviroment that makes the game run more smoothly, have no crashes and/or shutdowns. It also allows for better memory management, colors and graphics. Hopefully you have all seen the difference in stability and quality with other games.
On the other hand… this upgrade also changed the Esc to “leave fullscreen” from the usual “cancel”. I didn’t implement any key mapping or binding so it won’t be possible to change that.
I really thought everyone was playing with a mouse or a controller! I guess it’s only the two of us who play with the keyboard, mamachi! I will be sure to add a key binding feature for my next games.I am very happy that you enjoyed Shattered Worlds! Yes, you are correct about the timeline! More specifically, Shattered Worlds is the very first adventure in the Orbis Mythos! The Orbis Mythos is the in-house name of the myths, legends and adventures done in Shattered Worlds, The Deal, Aplestia, The Winter’s Deal, A Spooky Teaparty and some more games that are coming, maybe even this year!
(Essentially whatever has the Otherworld and Otherworld demons in the game’s lore, is part of that Orbis Mythos.)Stay tuned for the games to come!
Thank you for the feedback LadyJJ! I will be sure to buff the last level’s monsters when I get back home. I am currently stuck in a different city and my internet is very slow and I can’t really upload stuff. There was a travel ban here in Greece since October! It’s a miracle I even managed to release Aplestia:Retold!
Now, for your questions. There is no other way to obtain the last Evil Seed other than purchasing it… maybe I will add a way to do that later? Like a small side-quest given by The Merchant. I’ll be also sure to comb the dialogs for those typos! Regarding to the last Dragon Gate, you may want to check out Ammolite Cavern again!
Thanks, again, for your support! It means a lot!
Excellent catch, mamachi! It’s also a bit funny, because in the guide I also name both of them as Room E, completely disregarding the double name! I must have spaced out during the development of those rooms! A new build will be uploaded, most likely tomorrow, fixing the guide and the game’s labeling. Thank you for taking the time to point these things out!
Yep, I just saw the mistake I made. Sorry for that, mamachi. I uploaded version 1.0.3 fixing that issue. If you saved after defeating the goat, then you must go to Ammolite Cavern Boss Lair, the room to the top left of Ammolite Cavern. Then, walk straight ahead and interact with the big, green crystal – the one the goat was standing in front of. I saved a checker there, so the game knows that you defeated the goat. After that, go back to the mayor and interact with him to proceed. If you didn’t save after defeating the goat, then you don’t need to do anything more than updating the game!
Hello bbarton! Sorry for that! I just uploaded a new version (version 1.0.2) which hopefully fixes the missing file issue. This problem actually doesn’t stem from that battle, but from the last boss-battle you fought. Do you remember which one was it, so I can check out what I messed up during development? To get the fixed version, uninstall the current game, redownload and reinstall it. Everything will work normally. If the Retry button reappears, then just click on it and it will go away.
If you purchased from BMTMicro, you will have to wait for ten to twenty minutes for their servers to process my files. If you got Aplestia:Retold from my site, you can download right away. Tell me how it goes!Unrelated: I also added a Keyboard Configuration option for the Full game (the demo doesn’t have it yet). The only problem with this is that the Esc key and the F-keys cannot be changed.
Thank you so much, Valdy! It really means a lot that you guys are enjoying my games and are, even, supporting me from the beginning! I am also glad that you decided to join the site! Currently, I’m working on two projects: a dungeon crawler and a normal rpg and the development goes very well, so stay tuned!
If you want, you can also subscribe to my newsletter. I don’t spam and only send two e-mails; one before a game gets released and one on release date.
Again, welcome and thank you for the support!
