[VX Ace] The Laughing Isles

[buttontickler05]

Good, I can finally move on from the movement training.

Small bug in the quest training though. The old man just appears from nowhere at the start and then disappears at the end instead of walking to and from the entrance/exit.

I'll keep posting bugs as I find them.

EDIT: Another small bug I just remebered finding. In the small house with the girl in it who asks you to deliver a letter to her friend in Lockstockd Tickles, there's a chest in that house. When you open the chest, the size of the chest reduces and becomes smaller than when it was unopened.

EDIT 2: Bah! Another one I forgot about. There are two sculptures beside the statue of a lady in the starter town that can be walked on up to the trees.

 

[hellfire1]

Okay, Here is what I found so far bug wise from the latest update.

Despite getting even more paper. 8 in total so far. I am still unable to finish the angel quest.

I have gotten the captain's feather but am unable to equip it.

I have gathered all the keystones but still can't complete it.
Nuu does not say anything different after beating Tula. Nor do the guards at the castle.

Now for my opinion of the game.

I find the characters imaginative and adorable. The tickle scenes almost absurdly long compared to a lot of games. Spaced out quite nicely.

The board set up is a little vexing with everything you have to move around to get to places.

And for me personally. I would love to see more scenes of just girls talking about how ticklish they are. Like that opening bit in LoL as an example with Lenalee and elf girl.

Also your choice for the octopus girl is by far my favorite for all the sea creatures i have ever had to fight in any of these games.

So far i am loving every minute. So keep up the good work.

 

[buttontickler05]

Great, just great. I'm stuck at Tula cause she's too fking powerful, I don't have enough potions to cope with her damage output, and I have no way of getting out of the cave to get more potions or even level up some more to make it a bit more even. Total crapola!!

 

[hellfire1]

This is why being a save ***** is a good thing.

 

[sed]

What class are you playing? 'cause I beat tula without using a single pot as a mage.
Don't think she's to hard.. At least if you have bought best armors and found the stat up items.
And you can't run out because you cannot enter the portal to go back, huh? Not to be mean or anything.. But that's slightly your fault. In all rpgs.. Save before going into portals and doors. Scary things await beyond.
And if you had saved one before entering and one after entering (different save files) you would not be in this pickle.. Or should I say tickle? Hmmm... not sure if pun or just tired.. xD

 

[10 armed tkler]

I would love to play it...but you know my stance on it. I shall wait till the full game. I am strong!:rolleyes

 

[AnimeWatcher1]

DEMO.05 IS OUT! I was wondering why more people hadn't talked about some things. Now I see why - I've been keeping you all from finishing the Demo! Lol

Crap.. Think I have to restart the game. I've defeated both the octopus and Tula yet no new dialog has opened up anywhere.. Urgh.. xD
Also managed to collect all 8 fragments.. But the researcher just keeps shouting for me to hurry and collect more.. Sadly.. There are no more fragments anywhere.

Both of these should now be fixed! You might have to talk with her two times for her to realize it.

Good, I can finally move on from the movement training.

All of these should now be fixed 😀

I hope the tickle scenes aren't TOO long. It has made me worried that I've written too much for some scenes.

All of these except the Captain's Feather should be working in this latest update. I missed that one, and I'll have to upload a new version to get that item working. I actually think I'll just give it to everyone.

I've made note of your desire to hear more girls talk about their ticklishness. I'll look into adding them in future encounters 🙂

And I'm glad you enjoyed the octopus girl. I had fun writing her's; I wanted it to be a little bit creative (just a little) and tried to write it as one of the more professional writers would. We'll wait and see if she is the one who steals the show or not lol.

Great, just great. I'm stuck at Tula cause she's too fking powerful, I don't have enough potions to cope with her damage output, and I have no way of getting out of the cave to get more potions or even level up some more to make it a bit more even. Total crapola!!

JUUUUST for you. JUUUUST this once. I've given you a way to teleport out. Oh, and I made Tula sliiiightly stronger because of it.

I would love to play it...but you know my stance on it. I shall wait till the full game. I am strong!:rolleyes

Sooo we'll see you in two years then? :lol Ah, I am sorry that I'm gonna be making you wait for the finished game. I'll try to see if I can speed it up now.


A WARNING TO ALL! SAVE BEFORE THE FINAL REST! AND SAVE IN A DIFFERENT SLOT! I don't know if bugs will occur, but if they do, it's best to have a save from before that event.

 

[quiet belly guy]

bugs in sandy smiles
when you exit the lower right house, you appear in front of the upper right house
if you talk to the innkeeper to start the quest, she stands aside so you can enter, but if you then go into houses, she's blocking the door and will not move when you talk to her

bugs in cave after sandy smiles
if you're standing on the far side of the table when you investigate the empty bottles, the oni coming in freezes the game, I assume trying to go where you are standing
although we can use the symbol to retreat now, we can't get back in afterwards
even after beating boss oni, cloaked figure still stands on the cliff at the cave entrance

 

[Rainax]

I'm so glad you didn't continue, Rainax, for you see - you ran into a horrific error that

was brought about by none other than...ME!
[...]
No sprite should've been a dead give away to stop playing.

Bah, did you really think that a minor inconvenience such as the lack of a physical body would stop me from playing this awesome game? :stickout



Day 2 bug report (some bugs already reported):

- the item "letter to a friend" is not removed after the delivery to the "blonde-haired guard"

- in Lockstockd Tickles there are some problems with tiles (walkable walls, etc.) in the Giggling Sleeper, especially in the bedrooms area.

- in Sandy Smiles, there is a bug that causes the PG to exit from a house (the one with a red chest and no owner inside) by materializing on the doorstep of another, different
house.

- the defeat scene of Penina ask you twice to skip the scene (but the second time, without the actual choice menu).

- in the Whisper Cave, I opened the "enchanted steps" by screaming the three parts of the formula, but I had found only the first two (ARO and LONA)

- in the Whisper Cave, room with the big exagram, after I examined the cluster of bottles on the table I triggered and event: 3 oni ran toward me, but then the game freezed and I had to restart it. The reason was that I had approached the event of the bottles from left rather then right, and this blocked the path of the 3 running oni, freezing the sequence before the dialogue could begin.

- in the Whisper Cave, after I found the bottle of "The Good Stuff" and drank it, a dialogue informed me that I had recovered HP and MP. But... it wasn't true.

- in the defeat scene with the octopus girl, there is a line of laughters and pleas from the PC that was meant (I presume) to be enlarged, but appeared shrinked instead.

- the Captain's Feather is given (and described) as a weapon, but cannot be equipped as such. NB I'm playing as warrior.

Question:

*small spoiler*

snooping around I found the secret beach. The girl provided me with a nice costume and flip flops, changing my avatar and sprite. However, changing armor did nothing to revert back to the old avatar and sprite. Is there a way to do that, or is it a permanent change?

*end small spoiler*

 

[hellfire1]

Okay after some tricky manuvering to avoid another game freeze involving the book and general. Which can also be triggered before you speak to her. There are a number of problems with the cenataurs attacking the town. The blond guard being tickled can be spoken to. But the cenetaurs will not react. Also the blond thief on the pole. You get some of the dialouge. But it ends after asking if her bellybutton is ticklish and does not go into a battle. Also the thief on the other pole. With the blue hair has not been visible at all up till this point.
Also at the cabin. Though jacob allows nadya to go upstairs. She doesn't Instead just walking on the cieling tiles.

 

[mxx15]

Great game so far!

Bug
Also about the centaurs attacking the town, when you chase after the husband who is being taken by the centaurs, if you try to follow them it freezes if you get too close and it causes you to have to restart, and I've been unable to finish the centaurs attacking the town, hellfire explained it well.

 

[Who am I?1]

This game needs an "Give Up" command or item.

 

[slacker2114]

Hmmmmm..... "The prison is just outside and all the way to your left". Is it a place we can visit? Am I just missing where it's at? Or is it just idle talk from the guard?

 

[Who am I?1]

I'm at the Centaur Raid. There are currently two citizens I can't help:

The blond guard
The tied-up blond thief being tickled.

I can leave the town by the north. I'm unsure of what to do.

I'm stuck there too. Also, I noticed there is a woman standing outside the eastern wall that there is no way to access.

If you need to take 2 years, take 2 years. I can wait...I can.

Ahhh good good. Excellent work, quiet. The oni problem is still there, but I think I may have a way to fix it...or modify it I should say...in case you're on the left. For now, try to avoid the left side. The left side is lava. Stay out of the lava.

The rest should now be fixed. Quite annoying with Miss Nuu, or should I say embarrassing, simply because the fix WAS there, but required a player to stand where the fix was and press Z. Now it should keep her there while you go about your business.

Bah, did you really think that a minor inconvenience such as the lack of a physical body would stop me from playing this awesome game? :stickout

Goodness me! Way to go Rainax.

I've found and (hopefully) fixed all these bugs. Found out why you were able to access the stairs with only 2 of the words found. Lemme guess...you looked at one sign more than once? Yea, that should be fixed now to where continuous glances will not up your chances to go down the stairs.

"The Good Stuff" was fixed in the last update (at least it SHOULD be), so it sounds like you're using an outdated version.

I've decided to make the Captain's Feather and the Fluffy Feather both usable by all classes. Done and done.

And as for the swimsuit...well...I've now added something that people want with that. It was originally a permanent thing I wanted for the discovery, but I think this works better. Note - it will only change sprites and your face in the status screen.

All should be fixed in the latest version. Excellent detective work. Very, VERY frustrating to see that some of my disabled characters don't want to STAY DISABLED (ie blue haired girl)!

Great game so far!

Bug
Also about the centaurs attacking the town, when you chase after the husband who is being taken by the centaurs, if you try to follow them it freezes if you get too close and it causes you to have to restart, and I've been unable to finish the centaurs attacking the town, hellfire explained it well.

Let's see if this fixes it or not. I thought I stomped out that freeze while I was still making the event. Something tells me the event will still require a bug fix or two.

This game needs an "Give Up" command or item.

Well THANK YOU Who am I! I had completely forgotten to put that in. Go back to the first town to find your Give Up "command" 🙂

Hmmmmm..... "The prison is just outside and all the way to your left". Is it a place we can visit? Am I just missing where it's at? Or is it just idle talk from the guard?

In time...in time 🙂 But the prison is all the way to the left once you leave the room.

I'm stuck there too. Also, I noticed there is a woman standing outside the eastern wall that there is no way to access.

Eeeeyup. Just gonna...fix that. With a rolled up newspaper.

i have found away to save the husband. take the left path and run into her.

Though that is just one of two ways. Remember what the old man mentioned to you in the forest - sometimes you'll have to be quick on your feet to save someone. The other way offers a 100% success rate to catch her. It just requires an act of kindness, but you may have to give up on something that could alter an event in the future. The choice...is yours...

Hey, I think the town attack might be broken, nothing happens when I leave the barracks. The town is still the way it was before, just with new music.

This is...interesting. The entire thing is broken? What were you doing before hand? Is this a save that was during the fight?

Got it, it was from a book that I was able to read before I was supposed to be able to read it. No worries

Ahhh I see. Yea, that was pointed out earlier, so I'm sorry that got screwy (shocking that's what happens!). I've fixed that in the latest version that I just put up.

 

[tklsh_swim_grl]

Ok great, some of the movement is still kind of weird with after the book reading too

If you're having problems and if you have an earlier save file (you have been keeping multiple saves, haven't you?), I'd recommend going back to that one, before you read the book.
