You are the hero in an RPG. You've fought long and hard to reach end end of the dungeon. You have just one room left, one battle left. Can you defeat the FINAL BOSS?! If not... what will become of you?


== NOTES ==

Excessive Moe and Missing Sentinel Software decided to team up this time around to make a game! We had a lot of fun working together and butting heads on ideas and workflows. exmoe programmed the mechanics and AI and did character design and animations while MSS designed the cutscene system, the world environment, and all the voice tracks. Phew, another one bites the dust!

This is really cool! Great job on the game - the graphics, voice over and animations are superb for a 72h game, although the attack animation would be more smooth if if allowed you to walk at the same time.

I died the first time around. On the second try the game unfortunately crashed, there wasn't a log it just said "Final Boss stopped working...".

Again I'm impressed that you did this in LÖVE. Great job guys!

EDIT: I'd reccommend uploading a .love here on the forums, makes it a lot quicker for us to try the game.

Thanks!

It shouldn't have crashed. no crash.log file showed up in %APPDATA%?

It has become a bit of a Ludum Dare tradition for me to check out your 3d entries using Löve3d. It feels like every time is the best game so far and this time is not an exception to that rule.

Visually it looks and feels amazing, the graphics style coherent and the models are well made.

I appreciate the fact that you have voice acting, it adds a lot of humor.

Follows the theme to a T and is overall one of the best entries that I have played in this Ludum Dare and the previous ones that I have participated in. Well done!

Thank you! <3

When I start judging, I always make sure to seek out love games so I'll be sure to play yours too!

I do the same, both because it is more comfortable being able to download a .love file, but I also feel that the quality of games among Lövers is higher than the average LD games. Sooo... yey us?

I've tried to run it from source, but it crashed. Result:

Code: Select all

$ love10 .
No such key 'scaling-factor'
Error: [string "boot.lua"]:395: libs/lume.lua:587: attempt to concatenate local 'str' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
	[C]: in function 'error'
	[string "boot.lua"]:395: in function <[string "boot.lua"]:275>
	[C]: in function 'xpcall'

My fix was to change this in conf.lua:

Code: Select all

-- change this:
local _scale    = lume.split(f:read(), " ")
-- to this:
local _scale    = lume.split(f:read() or "1 1", " ")

For reference:

Code: Select all

Edit: Played now. Awesome game, even though I suck at this kind of fights. Love the humour.

woops, I already fixed that bug the other day, just forgot to patch the game. I'll push an update today.

did the game otherwise work for you?

[pgimeno]

Eh, sorry, my edit came late. Yes, see above

[qubodup]

impressive!
