I've tried to implement some combat achievements for defeating bosses using various restrictions, as per my last post. I've decided the first combat achievement to add would be "Party Pooper", where you defeat the boss without using the Life of the Party skill that the game is balanced around.

But, using these troop pages, the switch was not turned off even in a battle in which I used Life of the Party several times. If anyone could offer some advice as to how to implement this properly, it would be greatly appreciated!

Queen of the Dead by italia2022

Hello, everyone! We just released an updated demo of our project Queen of the Dead and we would appreciate it if you could give the game a play and provide some feedback.

For those who don't know, Queen of the Dead is a JRPG focused primarily on gathering, crafting, and tactical combat. The game has hundreds of unique crafted consumable items and our Life of the Party system makes these items apply to your whole party: making one skill hundreds of different skills, limited by only your knowledge of and interaction with the crafting system.

We also have 9 different summons in the game currently that all have unique level up learnsets and roles in combat that completely change the way you play the game and increase the already vast number of important decisions to be made on a turn-by-turn basis.

We're primarily looking for feedback on the UI (this has been our primary focus in the last week), on the various gathering and crafting methods in the game, boss encounters, repeat boss encounters using the elemental weapons provided from the dungeon quests, dialog, and overall feel of the game: though all feedback is appreciated and will be taken into consideration. Of course, if you find any bugs, do let us know and we will tend to them as quickly as possible!

Thanks!

Hello everyone, we've got a new update to our demo of Queen of the Dead with a lot of quality of life improvements and bug fixes. This week has been UI week mostly, with the following changes:

Encounter rate dropped by 50%.

 All UIs now use the cancel button to return to the previous UI or the main menu (depending on where in the UI you are).

 Old Man River now gives you hints where you can find different fish.

Nissa now gives you hints where you can find different drops for contracts.

UI color changed to a less saturated blue (subject to future changes).

There are now Scan and Status menu options for each battler in battle so you no longer have to cancel all previous choices to see the state of both your party and the enemies.

The cursor now properly moves when using Ally Swap and Teleguard, so you no longer have to cancel previous choices made to choose an action for the caster of these abilities.

 There is now a tooltip for the rat and lasher to tell you what they specialize in (rat is physical offense, lasher is magical offense).

Emma's Blinding Light spell changed to 5 MP to be in line with the MP cost of other stuns. 

Fixed bug where Blinding Light was not once per battle. 

Fixed bug were Slime starts with Poison Heal (Poison Heal now properly unlocked at level 6).

Fixed bug where Fluffy did no damage in combat. Elemental staves you get for completing the Culling quests now have a 45% chance to hit twice when casting the appropriate school of magic and the elemental foods now give a 25% chance to hit twice with their associated element. This makes them way better than the starting Staff when casting against an enemies elemental weakness, but worse than using the starter Staff when casting against an enemies' elemental weakness without the appropriate elemental staff, so the starter Staff and the elemental staves each have their situational uses throughout the game: which is where we want the balance between the two to be.

Fixed a bug where the summons's Instant Cast abilities were not once per turn.

Of course, thank you for reading this far into the Devlog!

Hey everyone, I'm having an issue with a nested UI. The crafting UI flow is to run a common event that displays a choice list. Foods and potions work cleanly, but the Soups (by food) and Soups (by potions) don't.

These submenus use HIME Large Choices to place them in a scrollbar since there's so many crafting options, and using the cancel button during these menus does not return the player to the parent UI but instead closes the common event.

No matter what I do, I can't make the cancel button return to the parent UI. I tried using labels, break loop, a switch that autoruns a common event that runs the Recipe Book common event and turning the switch off immediately afterwards, none of it has worked! What else can I do to make the cancel button return the player to the parent UI?

Look at that: I can actually show gameplay flows and not just showing one image of my game characters being sus! God, I'm such a Reddit boomer...

We've made a ton of updates to the game!

Hello, I'm the project lead for Queen of the Dead and we'd love to add some more OSRS players to the project! We've got talented people that are doing some great work, but I feel like non-OSRS players don't always quite get the vibe I'm looking for, ya know?

The game draws a lot of inspiration in dialog and the humor, as well with high and low intensity gathering methods (with fishing and scavenging being AFKable for over 13 hours!), with one of the core questions the game asks is "What if Potion Share wasn't dead content?" which led to the Life of the Party system which I think is one of the most unique healing systems in any RPG!

All this to say, if anyone is interested in joining a turn-based RPG Scape-like or has any questions, please post below or DM me. We'd love to hear from you!
