JA: Home of the Sign People V. Beta 2.1

[Jutomi]

Alright!

The long awaited version Beta of my hub is here!

Do NOT download unless you wish to send me legitimate feedback, UNLESS you want to spoil the surprise.

I can't mail anyone this because the file size is too large.
I tried zippin it multiple times;
well, it only saved about 100k in KB.

What's been added in this since Version Alpha?
- Added 42 adventures.
- Added 2 biomes + 2 mini-biomes.
- Changed 4 adventures(I believe) in the two Alpha worlds.
- Added a secret gate for testers.
- Added 3 types of signs in it.
- Added 1 town and 1 respite.
- Added references to 2 RTW users.
- Updated starting dialogues.
- Made the flower much easier to see.
- Added changelog - not ingame, on forum.
- Added cartographer to give users a general idea of most biomes.
- Added Blink, Grow, and Brr.
- Modified numerous things from Alpha testers'(mostly Yarjor's, who's now inactive) advices.
- Made the room count about 40 and the dialogue count about 80.
- Added 12 features to game-play mechanics.

Now that I've released this,
I'd like your help!
I'd like you to tell me whatever you think could be changed for the better,
and feel free to give constructive criticism to such.
You may complement things you enjoy,
but I want your help to try and make this an at least decent hub.

Thanks for reading this, and if you don't want to test, that's fine with me!
Still - I'd like at least one person to ensure that I didn't mess up entirely.

Changelog
-V1.1:
+ Fixed the two BUGs in Samuelthx's post.
-V2.1(No longer 1.2):

My feedback so far:

BUG: Aborting "Getting a Better View" spawns the player to the Spy-eye area, which allows the player to get a spy-eye before actually completing the adventure.

The music in The Turtle Nest does not fit the scenery.

MAJOR BUG: Winning/Aborting Hide and Seek kills the player in the overworld.

I will edit this post as I progress through the game
Oh yeah, do tell me if you'd rather have feedback through PM.

[Jutomi]

Ah, thanks for your replies, Samuelthx.

The music for the third level, I'm keeping for now...
but if you'd rather I changed it, I could in the next version.

For #2, that's a flatout mistake.
For #7, I redid that and misread the coordinates by a digit.

I'm fine whether you send info to me through here or PM.
Honestly, if it were on here, other people will be able to catch
bug reports; the one downside is that this'd be bumped on the often.

Thank you, Samuelthx; I'll be linking the updated version in the top.

Also, I do have to admit...
I've not actually playtested this time, since I just finished doing the basic functions today.
But, that's partially why I added the secret thing;
that way, if I fowl up, you don't have to redo everything.

[loofisawesome]

Bump.

It MAVs me when I try to play the hub.

[Jutomi]

Huh.

I wonder if it's on your end or if I messed something up when I updated it.

Can't find anything though.

Sorry to read that.

Hello, have you copied all the contents of the archive (including the Hub and AdventureX folders) into your Editor/User Data/Custom/Hubs folder?

It is something on your end because it worked on my side. BTW, Jutomi, I'll post a comment about your hub soon.

[loofisawesome]

*facepalm*

I put the adventures where I put normal custom adventures. I'll put them where they need to be.

Off-topic: Yay, avatar!

Yeah, those kinds of errors happen!

And about your avatar, there is a topic in the off-topic where you can post and share about your avatar.

I need help on the jungle planet-

The combination one is.. scary.

[loofisawesome]

On the ice planet, there is a level from Scorchtown there, and it brings you back to the adventure screen.
Also, what was the point of the green teleported in the blink temple?
😕

[Jutomi]

I'm not sure what happened with the ice world,
I double-checked to make sure it was all fine...

However, the green teleporter basically takes you outside/inside
the fort, created by another ionosign met in the Reservoir.

Uh - he added that for protection and fun purposes, I guess.

[Jutomi]

Well, I was going to hold a day to mass-overhaul the hub and fix the glitches,
thinking I had a ton to work out, but...

after reading my HOTSP information, all I found was to optionally add a dialogue.

Blake, could you please specify which adventure it was?

Like, Room 1 Upper left, Room 2 Lower Right, The adventure between Room 2 and Room 3, An adventure in the sign area, or an adventure in the lower room?

Or.. just, however you phrase it.

[Jutomi]

Well, fairly sizeable bump.

I've released Beta Version 1.2.

I also added the changelist of what should have been changed...
albeit I'm not even certain about 100% of them.

Feel free to download now, if you want,
or wait until Version Gamma.

Also, I do thank you all for downloading the hub,
but I haven't really gotten much information on bugs that need fixing...
which, could be good, it means I didn't fail miserably, but,
I'm just hoping that if there are problems in this that they're not being untold.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy.
Note: Redownloading will reset adventure progress,
but my gift should pseudo-save some hub progress.

[Jutomi]

I renamed 1.2 to 2.1 since nobody downloaded it since.
