Monster World RPG ver. 1.1 is out now ! ! !

[Ark_X]

Just a heads up, I finished both my earlier questions, thanks again to fonzer.

Question about Earth genie dungeon: Hint or solution to the "intelligence" puzzle (colored blocks and switches) - the intelligence part seems to be about the fact that there appearently are two (grey) switches to many. It's also odd that one block is of a significantly lighter shade of purple than the purple switch. All the other blocks' colors match a lot better with their respective switches.

@Monster World RPG (the user): That's unfortunate and occured to me as well. I made it a habit to write everything I want to post here in an extra txt-file (I'm taking notes there while playing anyway) and copy-and-paste it from there.
Just a suggestion, because I'm not sure wether I'm going out of my way to mail to you. If I do it will be alongside posting the same message here in the forum for the information of other interested people.

I would really like to read your reply and I even won't care if you adress only a few points at a time over multiple post whenever you have the time.

EDIT:
Anyway, here's some more impressions:

I already thought a while back that Heart Boxes start to loose in value because the increment only by 10 HP compared to the 400+ HP some of my characters have by now.
And then in the last(?) chapter you introduce Life Drops which only increase by 1 HP (even if you usually find them in multiples)??? If one drop increased Max-HP for everyone at the same time I might understand, but so...

On that point, I felt overleveled for quite some time. Max is close under 80 now and Pepe and Priscilla are in the late 60s, early 70s (the rest is around 40 because I use them a lot less because of ther low agility or limited skill pool).
But mind you, since I aquired the Lion gene, I had it active as much as possible to lower the encounter rate. But I did flee only very few encounters I still had.
For quite a while, even bosses didn't pose a real threat, especially for Max often crit'ing for around 1k because of the Ishtar Sword.

Why did you introduce the player so early to the Debug and Legendary Equipment as well as the Star Shards if they are usable so late in the game? To me, a registered quest creates the expectation that I can progress it fairly soon, not actually several hours into to the game later (having the quest stretch over a big portion is no problem, but there should be visible progress at regular intervals).
I would have mentioned the equipments only as rumor from some townsfolk and only created the quest entry, once they are in reach (for the Debug equipment maybe once you get the first piece of the set).
Regarding the Star Shards, there was also a lot of unnecessary info right at the start. It would have been enough to tell that these are valuable but mysterious, but it would be still wise to collect them. And of course mention that they are often well hidden. But don't say anything about their connection to a character who joins much, much later. Alien himself explained well enough what to do with the shards.

Smaller impressions:
If deactivating the Debug Equipment removes all Equipment, why do I leave the menu entirely when exiting the "Setup"-menu? Rather, send me directly to Max' equipment screen!

Do Oasis Boots also work especially well in the Snow Desert or do they discriminate between regular deserts and the frozen desert?

I have the feeling that the dungeon design got weaker close and during the 4th chapter. Halls and floors seem to be long for the sake of being long, one has to run back and forth a lot with making only little actual progress through the dungeon (it's like, I want to go up, but for every screen up I have to switch between the ends of 3 screens to the left and right multiple times).
It's only dragging, not entertaining.

Didn't Igor say he intended to upgrade the money saving idols, not only placing more of them. But the (probably) final encounter in Rapadagna only made him place some of them around the area. There was no word about an upgrade (higher interest rate maybe) and they still don't add interest anyway.
And why, oh why, can you only deposit up to 99 gold per action? I have 30k right now and if I wanted to profit from the supposed interest, I would want to deposit at least 1k at once.

Bug? If you equip the Handbag to a character but don't have him in the active party, the Handbag still triggers after every battle. The only exception seems to be Alien.

If movable objects are stuck, there shouldn't be the "grind on the ground"-sound when walking against those objects.

Things that stand out as odd to me:
Only Pepe has an animation in the Party-setup.
Only the first and last gear in the menu are colored.
