Seraphim's Javelin (0.1.13 - Bug Search)

An update and a bug release (?) for Seraphim's Javelin.

Version 0.1.13 - Bug Search

Biggest change is the Rags downgrade.  It requires Rags 2.4.0+ (previous version required Rags 2.4.14+).  This meant a complete rewrite, so there could potentially have a lot of bugs.
Other changes are more pics and redesigned clothing system (hopefully will be more interesting later on).

Primary purpose of releasing it in this state is to test if there's any major bugs in build right now.  I would like to know if anything is broken.  In other words, I need testers.  So here's a build, please post anything you find in the comments.

Thanks!

Oh, one last thing.  I was going to mess around with the pics of the streets in Chapter 1 (the main mission before the game ends).  But I forgot before uploading.  Not that big of a deal, just expect them to change later on.

5/17 Update

Going through to find pictures for the last few things.  Then need to double check to see if I'm missing anything.  Not too worried though if I miss something.  That's the purpose of a debug build.

With any luck, it'll be ready soon.

5/8 Update

I hate looking for pictures.  Been searching around for hallway and corridor pictures and decent pictures for items.  Take so long to find an acceptable picture.  I did some experimenting with photoshop to fix up the close ones, but it hasn't resulted in anything I like.

As of now, my goal is to finish up chapter 1 and hopefully release a beta build to stomp out any bugs.

SJ Status Update: 5/1

Picture hunting for rooms and items for chapter 1 (the chapter where you find Dr. Smirnov).  About half way through, gonna have to revise some descriptions to match the images better.

Started adding the dialog / hooks for chapter 2.  I already had some stuff in but I had to throw that out for something more aligned to what I've been doing before.

Beth: Release 2

Now that the contest is over, I can publish the latest version of Beth.


Release 2.2
(Missed a case with Tim.  Book was still being dropped to the ground.  Should be fixed)

Changes:
  • Fixed bugged items in the shop
  • Missing ending: Wait option when you're locked up.
  • Missing Lisa.  Lisa was talking but wasn't in the room.  Made an ending impossible to get.
  • Fixed Mental Picture.  It wasn't activating correctly in a specific order
  • Books, Notes, and Laptop SHOULD automatically be placed into backpack when you complete the major task.  Except from Tonya.
  • True Ending now requires 12 Integrity, just because I said so.

SJ: Photoshop skills

Sometimes finding pictures for SJ is hard.  So I've been watching some photoshop tutorials in hopes of shopping some images to get what I want.

I am by no means an expert but I would still like "professional" level images or at least can make changes where you can't tell they were shopped.

Below are two images (after break).  I made one change in one of them.  Which image did I change?  What did I change?  How long did it take you to find it?

Back to SJ

Been busy with personal life.  Managed to write up two dream scenes for Seraphim's Javelin.  One already added to the game without pictures.  The other... I think I'll revise the idea.  Felt a bit awkward.
