MV - Bhavacakra Maco 0.4.4 - Halted

Patch note version 0.3.0

There is actually no game content added but two major changes and another major change is in progress.

New quest plugin

I was using Gamus’s guest plugin and I was okay with it. I felt it could be better but there was nothing better. When I encountered news that Yanfly released his own quest plugin, my mind was already set on changing.

Changing the quest plugin midway into the game meant I had to go through every plugin command lines and alter them. But it has been done. I am now able to add small tips to quest logs as well as several improvements.

This, of course, means a new start is required.



Matured ship supply consumption system

The original ship supply consumption system was a series of common events linked together without any plugin. I didn’t use a plugin because I didn’t know one I needed existed.

While I was working on my other project, I came across a plugin I could use to improve the system. But implementing it would require a restart. Then since I was already implementing a new quest plugin, this was a no-brainer.



New icons (in progress)

I didn’t really intended to change the icons but I came across an inexpensive but quality pack which really suited my needs. I am making some on my own as well. On 0.3, you will see some changes on icons. More will be replaced later on.

All in all, those two major changes meant I decided to move on from 0.2 and version reaches 0.3.

Minor changes are noted as below.

1. Maco’s party no longer disbands upon turning in a quest. Now, when you turn in more than one quests, you won’t missing out friendship increase.
   
   
2. Rest skill (Guard) now gifts the user 20% in evasion, helping actors to survive until a heal comes in.

Patch note version 0.3.1

As per my internal roadmap, version 0.3.x will focus on custom menu as well as cosmetic stuff.

1. The first custom menu background has been added. It’s viewable on load and option menu. The others are just placeholders at the moment.
   
   
2. A side quest “The wild side of wool” has been added to the wool shop in Alca.
   
   
3. Chapter 6 guild mission “To Ugi isle!” has been added.
   
   
4. Shops now have their own background images. Most will be generic images but few will be unique like Marat’s weapon shop in Eton. This feature unfortunately conflicts with buy-only traders. Therefore, I’ve disabled it and there is no more trading posts in settlements. Instead, they will act like pawn shops, buying every junk you have. I’ve made it so that you can only sell stuff at the pawn shops. (Prefer to the spoiler screenshots.)
   
   
5. And more new icons to replace old ones.

Patch note version 0.3.2

As per my internal roadmap, version 0.3.x will focus on custom menu as well as cosmetic stuff.

1. Maco’s potential romantic interest has been given a total remake. He has been given a name first of all. His name is Pierre Gignac, the second son of the Gignac (Dolle) family. He has been given a new CG face and bust image. He will become available as a non-guild party member at one point. His class will be lumberjack (Axe user).
   
   
2. General menu and quest backgrounds have been finalized. (Prefer to the spoiler screenshots)
   
   
3. Some more progression into Ugi mine quest line.

Patch note version 0.3.3

As per my internal roadmap, version 0.3.x will focus on custom menu as well as cosmetic stuff.

1. A side quest “Where the hell is my ore?!” added to Jalfti smith guild.
   
   
2. Custom background image for items is done.
   
   
3. Alca scholar’s guild has its head master now who has a story of her own in another game I am making. But it’s an adult game, so I won’t mention it here.
   

Patch note version 0.0.1 remake

I’ve decided to remake the game. The major reason for this is that I’ve started making my own tilesets with my own sprites.

Plot and game features will remain the same. I simply need to recreate the game world and sprites with my own tileset.

Another aspect that will change is that World map will be gone instead players will be required to travel zones to reach destinations which means instant travel carriages might come useful.

Random encounters will also be phased out in favor of on map contact encounters.

As a result, version number has gone down to 0.0.1 and I’ve added “remake” at the end.

1. This remake version adds remodeled Loche and Eton and a road zone between them. There is no game content to be played at this point.

Patch note version 0.0.2 remake

My goal before reaching 0.1 is reconstruction of the first nation, Etonia while implementing quests and NPCs. The Guild will be reconstructed slowly due to the fact that I have to recreate quite a bit of characters who require their own SV battler images.

1. More polish to everything, more interior to enter, more NPCs to interact. There is still no actual game play element yet.
   

Patch note version 0.0.3 remake



In progress of rebuilding everything. This takes time.

1. Characters now have “traits” skills category which will have unusable skills but they will act like an extended bio. View them and read its descriptions.
   
   
2. Neighboring town Ryin is open. (But not completed)

It's quite unique looking! Looking forward to see what comes out of it :kaoangry:

Patch note version 0.0.4 remake - Download

This remake process is taking a lot of time. I am currently stuck at re-doing some of the guild members. I have nothing to show for in this path because most progresses are internal at this point.

The game is still pretty much a demo although it now has a tiny bit of content now.

1. Basic trading system is in although it’s not functional since there are only three settlements in close proximity.
   
   
2. Very basic first side quest is added to Margaret’s shop, and yes her shop is finally open.
   
   
3. Small updates to here & there. Shops are now actually selling things now and so on. And a wilderness zone (Road to the temple of affection) is open, but not completed.
   

Patch note version 0.0.5 remake - Download

Some decent progress in this patch. Restart required.
This patch adds about 20 minutes of content.

1. Food system has been implemented. Basically, it’s game over if food value goes down to zero. Various food items will provide different bonuses. Food itself is easy enough to acquire. Many wild animals drop raw meat which can be consumed (with negative effects). Vendors sell basic rations with no bonus. Then there are some delicacies with bonuses.
   
   
2. Sion, the guild secretary has been added back finally. But she is dramatically different in this remake; she is now an elderly woman. Her addition means the story quest can progress beyond what’s been possible.
   
   
3. Jack has also been added to the guild.
   
   
4. Margaret’s CG reworked. More NPCs and more houses are open as well as Eton mage shop with a unique NPC.
   
   
5. An unfinished zone is added “Road to Dolle”. Now, many zones I will be adding will remain unfinished because it’s not easy to finish up a large zones easily. Many zones, especially outfield zones, will be very large (100x100 and larger).
   

Patch note version 0.0.6 remake - Download

One of primary reasons I went ahead with remaking this game was that I wanted to have different building styles for different regions.

With default RTP style or RPG maker style in general, this wasn’t really possible.

Now, with this patch, Ezona is open which is considered “Western Etonia”. Look below for a side by side comparison.

1. Pierre is added back. (Another possible companion) He’s in Dolle.
   
   
2. The guild has a chef now. She’s a unique NPC.
   
   
3. This patch sees five new zones added: Dolle, Ezona, Ezona pass, road to Ezona pass, and road to Ezona. These new zones are missing NPCs and monsters.
   
   
4. Status page now has proper design. (Used to be just black background.)
   

Patch note version 0.0.7 remake - Download

This patch is about adding a little polish to what has been added. NPCs added and opened more interiors.

1. Gwynn (name changed, the wind mage) & Kesper added back to the guild. I still need to bring back Gilbert, Paranta, and Leona.
   
   
2. Ezona pass zone now has bandits.
   
   
3. Sysneca (Renamed, used to be Garrito) added back to Ezona.
   
   
4. Two guild quests added. The quests won’t exactly be the same as before because this remake has more possibilities and materials for quests.
   

Patch note version 0.0.8 remake - Download

Respawn points are added. You can now set your respawn points at inn in some cities. This feature is now necessary due to the game world being far large. Currently available respawn points are Eton (the guild) and Ezona inn.

1. Tobas and its outfield zone (that connects it to Ezona) are added. (NPCs yet to be added.)
   
   
2. Two more guild quests added; Herb collector & Defeat Lord Boar. As mentioned in the previous patch note, the quests won’t be the same since this remake offers far more possibilities.
   

Patch note version 0.0.9 remake - Download

1. The temple of Hatred has been added.
   
   
2. The temple of Affection has been added. There are still one major city and a small village left to fill up for Etonia.
   
   
3. A carriage service is added at Eton. Right now, the only destination is Ezona and the price is steep. More services & destinations will be added once more zones are open.
   
   
4. “Clear the way” side quest added. Talk to the carriage driver in Eton.
   
   
5. Minor update to Eton. Guards are now present. More NPCs added. Royal library (castle) is open.
   

Patch note version 0.0.10 remake - Download

Defeat penalty has been added: 10% loss in money.

Now, I’ve reached to the point that I need to remake Leona. The story cannot proceed without her. Since I decided to completely redesign her, this will probably take a while.

1. New BGM added to certain zones.
   
   
2. Donkey bear caved added for a guild quest and probably more later.
   
   
3. The (huge) outfield zone(s) to reach city Vollin is being added. You can access it now but it’s mostly empty.
   
   
4. Defeat Lord bear guild quest has been moved to a tier higher (Chapter 2) due to it needing you to reach Ezona which is perhaps too hard at low level. It has been replaced with “Loud Neighbor” quest. If you have actually finished it, I am sorry, you are screwed and need to restart.
   

Patch note version 0.0.11 remake - Download

Leona has been completely remade. A comparison pic is attached in this patch note.

The game is still not at a point I’d declare 0.1. It’s really quite close though.

1. New title screen CG has been added. I am planning to add the four main characters to the scene.
   
   
2. With Leona remade, it seems I need to consider remaking the others as well...
   
   
3. The temples now provides buff when you read its teachings. Each temple will have different effects.
   
   
4. Leona is finally added back to the game and the game story can progress.
   

Patch note version 0.1.0 remake - Download

I am calling it 0.1 despite of a fact that I failed to meet my original goal of recreating Etonia with my own custom tileset.

1. Character attribute overhaul is here. All characters now have fixed attributes and most of them have been renamed. Muscles, Defense, IQ, Resistance, Agility, and Moral. Leveling won’t increase them.
   
   
2. Alderin (A small spa town) is added. To get there, one needs to leave the temple of Affection via east exit and go north at crossroad. Internal isn’t ready yet though.
   
   
3. One of early guild quests, Hide delivery, requires you to venture to Ezona which is ridiculously hard in early game. One of quest NPCs will now offer a carriage fee which you have a choice of accepting.
   
   
4. Few bug fixes.
   

Patch note version 0.1.1 - Download

1. Temple buffs will now explain what the buff is about. They last 100 steps before being worn off.
   
   
2. Valura of Alcella is added though not complete. The sister city of Valura is Ezona and they share many characteristics. Ezona has the shipwright guild and Valura has Celino’s restaurant.
   
   
3. The character Celino has been added to Valura who will offer a variety of quests later on.
   
   
4. Guild mission “Chef’s woes” added.
   
   
5. I am adding a cheat room at the guild (basement). It’s basically a manual. Instead of having a walk-through off the game on a website, I am implementing it within the game.
   

Nice upgrade in graphics. Def worth a watch and download.

Patch note version 0.1.2 - Download

This patch adds some polishing to already existing maps.

1. Ezona, Temple of Affection, and Valura have more NPCs, more interior zones open.
   
   
2. Celino’s restaurant now sells food buff item and waitress NPC added. (only one kind for now).
   
   
3. The temple of Affection now has its official priest “Rathbone”. You can talk to him on various topics and can begin a mini quest with him.
   
   
4. Alderin spa inn is now open with “Rathchick” who is Rathbone’s sister. More content for her later.
   
   
5. "Messages between siblings” quest begins with Rathbone. It’s a simple quest but long due to length of journeys you need to make. Should be simple right now because the outfield zones are mostly empty.
