Story of a Lost Sky - Latest: Version 0.6.1 (June 29, 2011)

[RuneDevros]

It's been a little while since we updated the thread and I wanted to start again because of our latest release this week. The major features for 0.6.1 are that we added two new missions centering on Alice Margatroid, a drastically improved AI system which implements smart pathfinding on the battle maps, and finally, from Jamuko comes a new title screen. We'd love to hear what you think of the project. A full changelog is available on bitbucket.

Oh ho? I've been looking forward to seeing an update for this. Will definitely try tomorrow.

awesome, I already played the versions before this one - hoping for big things

I tried part of the demo...and it was great! The dialogue/discussion are presented in a way that makes it interesting to watch, and the music is well done as well.    You might want to make a modifier on the stats page to show if it's being increased by traits (or even buffs). Like Speed: 6 (-2). Could you clarify what the difference between standby and reserve traits are?

[RuneDevros]

Thanks! I'm glad that you liked it!

Re: Trait effect display: Sure sure. That would definitely be something that we can look into adding to clarify the effect of traits.

So this isn't as much of an issue in the early game, but each unit has only four hot-swappable traits that they can bring with them into a battle and swap to active depending on the situation. The ones in reserve are the other traits the unit knows but doesn't have available to them in battle.

I managed to get the game to crash.
I opened the Collections menu (where all your traded treasures are displayed) and pressed Z with the cursor on the wooden statue.
It said to look at the log for more details and shut down.

I don't know how many lines of log you need, so I'll just post them all:

NameError: global name 'menu_pos_max' is not defined
This is probably very obvious, but it looks like you're trying to call an undefined global variable somewhere.

Thanks for the bug report. Stupid mistake on my part. Uploaded a bugfix to both repositories and repackaged the executable version with the fix. Save files should carry over.

Hey. I bought Jamuko's art for your game at AM2. I'm doing what I can to plug it to friends...

[Hyouga Kazu]

I feel like a bit of a bother, coming back here with another bug report.

Anyway, I was in the spell switch screen, wanting to equip a spell on Marisa.
Accidentally, I selected the wrong tab and pressed down, and suddenly an error message showed up.
This is what it said in the logs:

[RuneDevros]

Hyouga Kazu - Thanks for these bug reports! They're really helpful, so keep sending them if you've got them. Uploaded fixes to both repositories and version 0.6.1c will be up momentarily.

Noodles - Thanks for visiting and I'm glad that you enjoyed Jamuko's art! I hope you will stick around for future updates and thanks for sharing the game with your friends! I hope the convention was a lot of fun for you!

Passed by this while lurking today and decided to try it out. Fun so far, can't wait to see what comes by next update. XD

Got another bug for you, though. After finishing the last mission, I went to Item Trade and tried to turn in the two items I had, but the second one always crashes the game (regardless of order, so it'd be the sixth item turned in.)

Turning in the Magic Lamp first:

Code: [Select]

Or turning in the Ibis Tapestry first:

  File "lostsky\worldmap\trading.pyc", line 106, in execute_trade

I didn't have any of the other items on hand at the time to see if it's always the sixth item or not, but here you go. Sorry I can't be of too much help, but coding is not my strong suit.

[RuneDevros]

Those logs are actually very helpful. Thanks for posting them. I tracked this down to a bug in the treasure trading system causing a crash due to not having any more milestones left. It's been fixed and a fixed version will be uploaded shortly (within 10 minutes as of this post edit).

Hello, folks

rune asked me to post the victory theme I did, so here it is: http://soundcloud.com/user4836966/soals-victory-theme

I guess you are all supposed to say what you think
